What’s said in this shiur

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

So um I want to go over a couple of core concepts as they relate to the hag and then I want to speak about a few. So the the basis the basis of the um the the the ba the basis of our freedom. What's the basis of our freedom? What What's the basis of our freedom? What would you say is the basis of our freedom? Right. Pesak is a holiday of freedom. What's the foundation of freedom? What would you say in in your life is that which defines a person's freedom more so or less? I would say the Torah freedom, right? So go outside of that for a minute. In general, in life in general, what's the biggest what's the biggest factor? What's the biggest the biggest factor? What's the biggest consideration? Oh yeah. So we we generally say that the biggest consideration in life is time right time. That time we generally say is outside our control. You know when a person will live, when a person's life will end. Uh it's all outside of our control. So we hold that if we want to speak about a paradigm of of a a bigger speak about a paradigm of of a a bigger picture of lack of control we call that time. The reality is very different from a Torah point of view. The reality from a Torah point of view is that we control most of the elements of time. Hi guys, how are you? We control most of the elements of time to the point where do we control when we're born?
