What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mendel Kessin’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
uh so anyway we left off basically that this mishna has really two things going in it right if you want to remember one thing the most important thing in a mishnah is the concept of a central idea because that organizes it and somehow wants to hear that everything falls into place you know what I'm saying so different they sent this Mission has two Central ideas in a certain sense you know the first thing was the cavono that you need to have cavornos of griezma the case happens to be you know that you just happen to be read creation so now the question is not not so the first central idea is the concept called kavana very important and then you have either yes or no so Allah follows the second central idea of follows the second central idea of additional is interruptions the concept that if you are interrupted in Korea what happens now then we're going to okay let's talk about interruptions you know one you know where are you interrupted you know by who are you interrupted what are you supposed to say you know what is the interruption and the answer is it's either greeting or a response who well but they are covered response who well but they are covered with their year and so on you know and then we're all being a problem you know and then what what is the interruption right and what's the answer it's a verbal interruption and we mentioned that's how we end it all that there could be other interruptions this is what's called have said silence whatever reason is that an interruption you know if it is how long you know then this uh uh engagement in another activity
