Rabbi Dr. David Gottlieb - How to Drink on Purim

What’s said in this shiur

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

there are a lot of strange things going on i think that they can be tied together into a single theme the strangest of all is the remark in the tikuni zohar which goes back to the time of reshuffling which means about two thousand years ago which says that in the torah the holiday that we call yom kippur is never ever called jim kippur never the title in the torah is does anybody know it's always said in the plural which if you translate it would mean they have atonements in the plural never called him kipper only in the popular usage as they called him and there's a lot of discussion of that the taking zohar says something astonishing you know very well that the safety is written without vowels so the letters ki purim could be read could be read ke just put another dot under the cuff vertically below kippur means like purim so the thickness says we have to understand that yum kippur is a day like purim now that's a challenging idea i think intuitively you couldn't find more direct polar opposites than him kipper and pum a kipper where you're fasting night and day and you're involved in prayer and day and you're involved in prayer and repentance and hoping to get forgiven for your sins and so on and you keep her where you're drinking and putting on costumes and music and dance and tomfoolery and not only that but this i think is pretty clear in the result and it's a point of logic saying that a is like b is not the same as saying that b is ik and neither of them is the same as
