What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Parsha Perspectives - Rabbi Efrem Goldberg’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

the inter relationship between and on the one hand the notion of human initiative and effort the effort that we take and on the other hand the fact that we put our faith and trust in hem that everything is indeed from him just yesterday talked about if you stub your toe down here it's because it was ordained from above that nothing is by coincidence nothing is by chance that everything is a result of our relationship with Hashem you reach into your pocket for a nickel and you pulled out a quarter if everything everything that happens is by Design there's no that happens is by Design there's no coincidence there is no chance so on the one hand we are to live with that intense and extreme mindfulness that sense of faith that nothing is random or chance it's all ordained from above if it's all ordained from above Why Try why bother why do why take initiative how do we how do we relate what is the balance between the two last week we spoke about yose who twice asked the sarkim please remember me when you meet parro and because he asked twice was punished to sit two extra years in prison and the inside of that had he asked once he inside of that had he asked once he wouldn't have sat one extra year he would have sat no extra years once he had to ask you have to take initiative we have to do our part on the other hand you can't take too much initiative you got to take just the right amount so that's where we're up to the second paragraph here in R Al per per says the Jewish people we are rooted in godliness
