What’s said in this shiur

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

lutsato who tries to teach us how to become the best version of ourselves beginning with zihir is a life of mindfulness a life of conscientiousness and consciousness a life in which we're present in every speech thought and deed moving over to zeresus alacrity zeal enthusiasm how we can go conquer our day and then nikhias what are the things that will bring us down how can we purge from our repertoire the behaviors the thoughts the attitudes that will undermine and sabotage our success and finally the media of precious we're up to the emphasizing to us that just because something is permissible just because according to jewish law it's allowed just because according to america law or whatever country you're living in just because the law dictates that it's permissible doesn't mean it's right and doesn't mean it's good for you and doesn't mean it will help you be the best version of yourself that all of us need to be able to live a certain level of of discipline there's nowhere that it says you can't sleep for 15 hours a day there's nowhere that it says you can't finish a six pack of beer and three bags of potato chips on the couch although those are not good behaviors for a disciplined ben or bas aliyah somebody who's striving who's growing someone who wants to be the best version of themselves who wants to use the most of their day that is not what's going to do it and for example the rabbi said that intimacy in the context of marriage with the right person in the right place at the right time is perfectly permissible i'm numb quite technical of the malik however the rabbi is established we don't observe this anymore but the notion that a man after intimacy becomes about kerry
