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

i want to be very open and honest i've never given this class tonight's topic is a powerful one and therefore either tonight's class is going to be a bomb or it's going to be a bomb one of the two boreholes because he knows that my heart is pure in wanting to give over this idea that came to me today when i was on the phone with my rebbe from eric's israel remember shalom rabinowitz and i'm hoping that the topic will be able to lift up people in difficult times i want to talk tonight on the concept of how to keep it together when you feel like your world is falling apart it's a big topic how to keep it together when on the inside you feel like you're broke into pieces give me the help on this one let's talk about this concept of keeping your composure at the time of difficult moments in life how to keep your composure in those difficult moments so we take a look at the beginning of the parasha para abraham avinu comes home from akida to a wife who's dead you know good and well that there's a big mahloket the tendency not the ten tests that abraham aveena went through in life there's a big macho which one was number ten we know that the tests each test was more difficult than the one before that means that test number 10 was the most difficult test that abraham aveeno went through so now which one was number 10 it was a big machoket some say that the biggest test abraham vino went through number 10 was akida but the ramban many say no akida was test number nine test number 10 was the death of sarah after an akedah
