What’s said in this shiur

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

Good evening. This week, Matos mas um as I traditionally say, we conclude mass in in unison. We call out Kazakh. And this is the sedra that [clears throat] we complete complete bameidarum. We usher in devarim. Now we know that mats mas is always during the three weeks. Because the first Sedra of Dvarim, the actual Sedra Devarim is with the ha of Kazon, which is right before Tishabove. before Tishabove. So we're smack in the middle of the three weeks. And m highlights three or four in yonim that are very uh strong as a cementing factor of the very beginning of mats talks the first section about vows, promises, oaths vows, promises, oaths and the power of who can nullify and those halas. But the mafam are quick to point out that the very beginning of the sedra is unique. That means whenever starting with most sedras when wanted to convey a message to Israel wanted to convey a message to Israel which happened time and time again mosha laymore that hashem told it to Moshe and he in turn lay set it over to claw Israel for hakures boraku. But ms doesn't begin like that and it's the only sedra of that nature. When I say that nature because let's say you take boracious there isn't any pik you take boracious there isn't any pik that begins vabem elam or el yitz or el yakov as the beginning of a para. We know misaos sim labonum that we of course are a reflection and incorporation of everything that theos and that the shift did and that became part and parcel of our nishamas and the strengths
