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

All right, good morning everyone. I apologize for for my delay this morning, but it is a great to be here with all of you this morning. And I thank Rabb Rosenbam for inviting me to be with you during always a highlight of my to come and share a few words of Torah with this >> few minutes to tell the students how you teach and how long you come back >> and I look forward to the guilt every single year when I come here. Thank you. Halvi halv one day. So girls, it was a grace to be here with you this morning and I wanted to share with you. Um there's so much to talk about and so much to share but I I'll be mata this morning cuz unfortunately I'm a little bit late but something dawned on me this year that for whatever the reason never really bothered me before. It's always interesting right? You can say the same feels year in and year out yet different things impact you in different ways at different times. So if you take a look at source number two, there's a lot of interesting history about interesting enough what I want to point out to you is we say we seek to me is like one of the most beautiful because it brings together these disparate identities of au our father representing a closeness, Malachu, our king representing a little bit of a distance, but yet with Akadesh we have both of those relationships. He's our father and he's our king. And we say, "Bring us back in complete to you." What's the problem with that phrase? What's the problem?
