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 before we begin I want to dedicate the share that this year should be a blessing and a merit for the health and success of the families of Regina boss Joseph Rubin and you're shy up in Israel Benjamin wolf yeah and it should be enough for all he is the summer of these people what I'd like to do is give a sheer about a theme that I want to follow and I had mentioned that I'd like to go into a very important phenomenon called prophecy because it's really much more than we imagined but as a great intro to that we observe a we can call it of course a holiday called Shabbos now it's amazing when you think about it that you know Shabbos is something that we observe for our entire lives doesn't happen once every year a couple of times a year but it happens every week at the end of the week we observe at the end of the week we observe Shabbos so when you think about it Shabbos is something that occurs and with an enormous amount of frequency in any person's life you know now we all have a feeling or an idea it certainly have a sense that we know what Shabbos is you know uh but that's not really true and what I want to talk about this year and what I want to talk about this year which I had given really a very long time ago but I wanted to show how Shabbos really depends on our ability to be a navi a prophet and that's really what goes on during Shabbos see is we actually exercise that faculty of our ability to be a navi you know and that shows us to what extent Shabbos
