What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Jewish History Soundbites’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
Yehuda Gabber with Jewish history sound bites and this episode is about the Mullet von Ribbentrop non-aggression pack signed between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union on in Moscow on August 24th, 1939. Backdated to August 23rd, 1939. And um I think it's a timely topic even though we're not in August because the three weeks have started. So the three weeks have started. So Holocaust topics are permitted now and even encouraged in some quarters. Um but before I get to the topic itself, I first of all want to make an announcement about a glitch that happened which the Jewish history sound bites tech team is looking into. Um, it happened only on the Spotify platform that there's a couple of episodes that were reported missing. Um, apparently it's related to the intro, the legendary it's related to the intro, the legendary intro of Jewish history sound bites. So, I reposted those missing episodes without the intro. So, if they repop into your feed and you already heard them, you don't have to listen to them again. If you were looking for them on Spotify and you gave up, then you probably will see them now. For now, I will be posting future episodes without the intro until we figure out this glitch. Hopefully within the next couple of days. I'm really sorry. I want to apologize about the missing episodes on apologize about the missing episodes on Spotify and about the no intro. Um, for now, if you listen on any other platform, then you didn't even know that there was any problem. So everything should be okay. That's on the tech side. Um I also because it's, you know, [clears throat] July 4th, we're celebrating America 250 years. So I should have done an episode about the Jewish history in the United States at America 250. [snorts] I also could have
