What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Trips to Kivrei Tzadikim’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
Okay everybody, as you can see this is called the Geras Shabbas. It's very very fascinating. Uh by the way, it's called the Geras Shabbas, you know, shouldn't be Shabbas time.
