The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mendel Kessin’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
we live obviously in very confusing times um and you know for somebody really to understand what is happening in many ways is very difficult you see we all know what's happening in terms of the united states in terms of trump in terms of you know the opposition to him the in terms of the uh the biden uh election and so on the whole concept of what trump claims to be the fraudulent elections um i mean the truth is that the united states is really in tremendous turmoil and it's not just the united states the israel has just announced of course that they are having a fourth round of elections uh which of course indicates that israel is the same turmoil as everybody else and of course there's the covet which is enormously disrupting you know the flow of civilization the question is how do we understand this from a torah perspective or from a harsh comfort perspective that is the question is it possible and of course the answer is yes because everything can be understood from the perspective of the divine agenda we know that the question of course is what is the divine agenda and how does it explain really what is happening so what i'd like to talk tonight is what i think is going on what the divine agenda is especially in today's time and to show you that all of this really makes eminent sense based on the requirements and the recommendations or the necessities of the divine agenda itself and i'm going to try to explain a great deal of ideas and especially when you begin to ask yourself that what doesn't really make sense is if things were proceeding
