What’s said in this shiur

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

[singing] My lord, [music] it's from you my lord. It's [music] all [singing] good my lord. >> [music] >> Lordem [singing] with Hashem's loving grace. Tonight we begin learning Tanakh which is Bible. Now I'm going to explain exactly what it is. If you've never learned a day in your life Bible start right here tonight. Try to make everything as clear as possible. And not only that in the particular section of Bible that we're learning the prophets few people know them. people they about scripture but few people know them and another reason an impetus if you Google Google the book of Joshua Google any any one of the prophets you come up three dozen non-Jewish websites and there's a problem problematic the translations their knowledge of biblical Hebrew is lacking and even if you have an objective translation something a secular translation it waters down the meaning when we translate this is what we did in the book of Psalms that we learned learned together for two and a half years. This was monumental and I think it's one of the greatest projects ever of my life. Not only putting the book out but learning together with with a group two and a half years we learned the psalms one by one and in spoken English but when we learned in spoken English the spoken English each word is an interpretation a classic interpretation of our classic biblical interpreters has a special different word. Give you example what does that mean in English? English is a very material language. English you have every word you possibly need for business, for commerce, for spiritual concepts, it's very weak. The holy tongue, which is classical Hebrew, biblical Hebrew, we call it the holy tongue, lashon kesh, it is full, it's a very spiritual language. And there are words that I literally have to invent in
