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

We are live barm. Amazing. Great to be here for part three of our threepart series 12 steps in the high holidays or high holidays in the 12 steps. Um I want to thank those who have been coming along for the journey. I know many of you have been watching each part and not only watching it but applying it to your own watching it but applying it to your own personal journey through the high holiday season. I I know that because uh you gave me feedback and I appreciate that. Always helpful to hear that there are real people out there actually uh listening to this stuff and appreciating it. Okay. So this is the grand finale. This is the culmination. And really sukus and susta which is the topic of today's lesson. Sukus and susta are the grand finale the uh climax if are the grand finale the uh climax if you will of the high holiday season. I think it's unfortunate that culturally and I don't know really how this happened. many Jews who are aware of what what we call high holidays. By the way, that that expression high holidays, I don't even know where it comes from. Um it's I think it's an American expression, high holidays. It's like there's nothing like say sacred like there's nothing like say sacred about that expression. Um there's an expression days of awe the the days of awe. That's a that's a a real expression. um or tish which is the name of the whole month. Um, but the the high holidays expression, I don't I'm not even sure where that comes from. But at any rate, it's it's unfortunate that many Jews who know about what we call the again I'll put it in, you know, scare quotes, high holidays, um, only know about Roshashan
