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.

[music] >> If Israel exists, it is a theological problem for Islam and Christendom. >> When you see these influencers on social media, they're getting millions of views on what they say and the kind of concept of flash mob and flash program has to be ingrained in a person's psyche. It's a plan that they use, uh you know, nonviolent jihad. Islam is what I would call a curse of humanity. So, Rabbi Telle, what could you tell us is the significance of this moment that we're about to enter? Thank you for inviting me on, first of all. Uh second of all, to answer the question, uh the month of Nissan is known as the month of Geulah. And what we're experiencing right now is this tremendous feeling here in Eretz Israel that the Geulah is unfolding. And one of the things that Nissan represents itself is it's the springtime, of course. And it's also a time where Klal Israel we remember that Klal Israel was redeemed from Mitzrayim. One of the questions that I had that was bothering me about this time period, looking back, was why did Bnei Israel not leave Mitzrayim at night? Let me explain what that means. The redemption, the the spiritual redemption occurred at night. They were freed from Paroh at night. When you are free from such a place like Mitzrayim, for example, if someone is a hostage or chos v'shalom or they are in a very filthy place. They're They're now told, you can now leave. And they've been there for how 210 years. They've been there a very, very long time. My question is, at night, why didn't they leave? So, in order to understand or develop the question, I have to go into various sources, and one of them is the Gemara in Brachos, Daf Abba
