What’s said in this shiur

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

the yeshiva dotnet some 2700 years ago one of the most dramatic events took place in Jewish history atop a mountain Mount Carmel in the northern section of Israel of Eretz Easter all a story recorded in the 18th chapter of Melaka Aleph of Kings one which has also become Aleph of Kings one which has also become the half tyre of the master of parishes kiss ISA it was a historic showdown between two views two perspectives and one side stood one man Eliyahu Hanavi the prophet Elijah and against him stood 450 prophets of the pagan idol known as bowel the background of the story that bowel the background of the story that anak tells us is that the Jewish people at the time were torn torn between their allegiance to Hashem to God and the dominating culture and cultures of idol worship societies pagan societies propagated by the king of the time akov and his queen his wife is evil the prophets of God have been decimated by prophets of God have been decimated by the cruelly zepho and some of them forced into hiding Elijah Leo who was a lone voice an unapologetic lone voice in the midst of an evil regime most of the Jews were influenced by the culture of these pagan gods of Baal and Asherah now when we hear today about these false idols we hear today about these false idols we just assume them to be some statues that people used to bow down to or offer sacrifices to or pour libations to but really it was much more complex and new and nuanced than that I'm not gonna get here very graphic about the types of worship that the bowel and our Shara God the two popular gods at the time the two popular idols demanded but some of the most grotesque abominable and repulsive
