What’s said in this shiur

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

Do you think the Jews will give up Jerusalem? I'll forget about it. I say, so I told him, today I understood it. And the second thing, you must not stop digging here and putting down your roots. I realized today how many of your roots are here. [Music] Beyond our Wall, behind the beating heart of the Jewish people, listening to pleasant [music]. There is one address to which all halachic questions, all public announcements, all speculations [music] that arise from time to time around the Western Wall are condensed, and I am referring, arise from time to time around the Western Wall are condensed, and I am referring, of course, to the Rabbi of the Western Wall, who shouldered the responsibility of managing this place spiritually, ensuring that it will be worthy of its name and the high charge that the people of Israel attribute to the Western Wall. And I have the honor and right to argue today with the eminent Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, the Rabbi of the Western Wall and the Holy Places. Peace and blessings, Your Honor. Peace and blessings. First of all, how many years has the rabbi been serving as the Western Wall rabbi? It's been almost 30 years now. Yes, thank God. But almost 30 years now. Yes, thank God. But the truth is, I always say that compared to the years of the Western Wall, it's nothing. It's nothing. not. Everything needs to be looked at in its relative terms. What has changed for the rabbi between the time the rabbi took office and today, 30 years after the first time? I must say that when I took office, I didn't understand how big his shoes were. I thought it was just another rabbinical position. The previous one was Rabbi Getz. Rabbi Gess. Oh, I didn't know how many challenges there are here. How complex this place is.
