What’s said in this shiur

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

a very very pivotal issue that people are very concerned about first let me start generally you know everyone knows the ten commandments and the ten commandments are commonly divided into two columns the first five are said to be the duties between man and god believe in god don't believe in idols don't take god's name in vain observe the shabbat and the second five are considered to be the interpersonal duties don't steal don't commit adultery et cetera which are called man and men and we have two terms in hebrew for them category one is called bain adam lamakom between man and god makom is placed but god is referred to as the place of the universe and category two is called being adam between man and man now i don't want to spend a lot of time on that particular division there is actually one problem with that because everyone knows what the fifth commandment is the fifth commandment i'm sure your parents must have told you told you this many times honor thy father and mother and the question is why is that in column one that seems to be interpersonal right so really it ought to be instead of five five it ought to be four six but there are a lot of answers to that one answer is that uh when we honor our parents we learn gratitude for having life and therefore that transfers to gratitude to the almighty for giving you life but okay but be it as it may there's an interesting point here in terms of font size
