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

you West Hempstead. Great rabbinic love there and great people there, not in that order. So, thank you for your generosity. It feels like the nine days are a time of sadness, but we're going into Shabbos. Rav Nachman Rav Nachman Shabbos. Behar Hazeh, the parsha says Shabbos that we stay at the har at the mountain. However, we quote every year this Shabbos Rav Nachman Shabbos. That we need Shabbos. This Shabbos, the Shabbos of bein hametzarim, the Shabbos of the nine days, the Shabbos of Shabbos Chazon against the backdrop of all this darkness, the light of Shabbos burns even brighter and even more. But, I want to share something new. I just saw the Hilula of the Dvarna Banya Rebbe of Yerushalayim Shlita. The great Dvarna Rebbe in his weekly his weekly Torah writes the following. Margala bepumei shel He quotes from the Admor Rav ben Baruch Zatzal. Me de shana be shana be bein hametzarim, he used to say every year during these nine days, during these three weeks, should sadikim be chassidim mimay kedem in higu be beis hamikdash Erev Shabbos Chazon yadliku anashim ner Shabbos tzas bemukdam mimash regil lehadlik bechol Erev Shabbos Kodesh. Whenever you ordinarily light Shabbos candles, light a little bit earlier. That's true for every week. There's a great skos and a merit. Tosefes Shabbos, expanding, taking on Shabbos, immersing ourselves in Shabbos even earlier than usual is a wonderful thing. But, on this Shabbos, said the Bobover, more important than ever. Why? Because why would you want to dwell in the churban, in the sadness, in the misery, in the tragedy, in the calamity, in the mourning, and the grief of the nine days when you can transform into Shabbos, big
