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.
Before I begin, I'd like to talk about a topic really that I began a couple weeks ago. Uh and I thought that and I thought that I it really needs further clarification. And more details and so on which I'd like to offer uh tonight for tonight's year. But before I begin, let me just uh dedicate this.
