What’s said in this shiur

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

love of Hashem, Yirat Shamayim, strength and courage. You are our guiding force. May Hashem bless you with endless brachot and mekabel all your tefilot. Love, Mark, Yoni, Rachel, and Jessica. What a beautiful birthday gift for Mom. Gorgeous. Okay, let's begin. Please only answer amen if you're listening to this live. Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech ha'olam asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav Okay, let's uh let's begin. The pasuk says v'lo yig'u el hakodesh. And they should v'lo yig'u el hakodesh. And they should not touch that which is holy. Now, what's interesting about this pasuk lo yig'u el hakodesh is this concept of touching something which is holy. And of course, there are many holy objects that a person uh might might touch or might hold or might uh interact with, but of course, none holier than a sefer Torah. In fact, the halacha tells us that a person has to be incredibly careful with the safer torah not to the safer torah not to in the process of using it dishonor it. So, one of the things that people often are not aware of is that the torah says that it's the halacha says that it's assur. A person is not supposed to touch the cloth the parchment of the safer torah. In fact, that's why you have hanging on the safer torah many safer torah. Want to maybe just move the the receiver off of the thing maybe?
