What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yonatan Metzrafi’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Orchards and walking in mud up to their waists, people literally sewing, people were cut, torn to gain, we were four and five hours on foot, four and five hours on foot in the rain, people arrived wet to the core, people, women, babies in strollers, no rabbi they asked would tell them to do what they did, no rabbi on the contrary would do what they did, no rabbi on the contrary would tell them the opposite [laughter], but there is a concept called love that spoils the line. The love that the people of Israel have for the righteous, for this righteous man, Rabbi Shimon, the belief in the power of the righteous man, the belief in the sanctity of the place where he was ordained, expressed these people overcoming all motivations to sacrifice everything that needs to be sacrificed, to come despite all the ties that were frozen upon arrival and to have the right to despite all the ties that were frozen upon arrival and to have the right to reach Rabbi Shimon's mission and pour out their hearts and pray for everything that is on their hearts out of an innocent and misguided faith that Rabbi Shimon should trust in times of distress. Every person who has a problem, a person who has a problem, a person who has something on his heart that weighs on him and bothers him. You have no better and greater lawyer than Rabbi Shimon who will teach you justice before the Holy One, blessed be
