What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Glatstein’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
Okay, good morning everyone. We have a an amazing insight of rubber fall the Av Beis Din of Eihu Altona Hamburg and Wandsbek. Before that, we have amazing news. >> [clears throat] >> Next weekend will be our annual campaign for Machon Maggid Rakia. So now's your chance to uh be mishtatef in helping build our Beis Hamedrash which is soon uh going to its final stages of approval so we could start building.

One who's mechaven to eat chazir and eats chazir alach as kamah dekamah." A very well-known Gemara.

That even if somebody intends to sin, but doesn't actually sin, even then, you need kaparah. A very well-known Gemara. Rubber Faller of Altona Hamburg Wandsbek rips this apart.
