What’s said in this shiur

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

In theid they say they say as follows. There was once a shul in in a coral shul in Moscow. There was a bunch of Russian oligarchs who were there for most of them were not religious. Most of them weren't from and they were bidding for and one of them was a from a guy and he bids 2,000 rubles from and then the other oligarch was not from at all steps in he bids 2 and a half thousand and he wins. So one of his friends asks and he wins. So one of his friends asks him you know you're not even religious at all why are you bidding for to which he says if uh I'm a businessman and if Baron Ginsburg is bidding on something that's the former one if Baron Ginsburg is bidding on something then it means it's a good deal and I want in so they say that shabas is the same type of thing have a hard time being being hang on >> this goes much earlier it goes much earlier now you know where you got it earlier now you know where you got it He used to say that that you know a regular pashian sometimes has a hard time figuring out and feeling exactly what's special about chabas but look at the sadik and look at the rebas look at the the people who know things and you see they they care about shabas so you know shabas is important now I was thinking you don't really have to come on to to look at the sadik and look at the rebas you don't have to know that wrote a safer about chabas to know that shabas is the chabas says that uh
