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

speak to us. He's one of the most sought-after sought-after speakers in the Jewish world today and he lectured many cabinets across the world. He has traveled hundreds to hundreds of communities in six continents educating and inspiring people of all backgrounds in depth of Torah and Judaism. Rabbi Jacobson is the first rabbi ever to be invited by the Pentagon to deliver a religious keynote to the US military chief of chaplains and the national security minister. Um Rabbi Jacobson Beautiful. You're talking about me? Yeah. Okay. The makam shelanu is makam shelanu mashable yeshish yesh koach. Thank you so much for your kind words. There was a dinner they introduced uh Senator Joseph Lieberman and the master of ceremonies gave a really beautiful introduction so when they got up he said "It's a pity that my parents are not here this evening. My father would have appreciated these words and my mother would have believed them." So uh So thank you for the invitation and the privilege to be able to address such a group and I know we're joined by a very large virtual community in Lakewood and Scranton. And Monsey. My neck of the woods. It's fine, you can listen. I'm just here for the delivery though. That's great. You can still listen. No problem. It's not a bother at all. Reminds me of a great joke. So there was this huge company. The name wasn't Future Care but it was some other company. Very big, successful, affluent company in Atlanta and the company got a new CEO.
