What’s said in this shiur

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

I want to thank the Shul Chaim for bringing us all together on this day among the many other Shiurim and events and programs and videos and lectures and seminars [snorts] that are going on here last night and today throughout the day including some presentations by actual survivors of the Holocaust which will be later in the afternoon as you could see on your signs here in the vicinity of the Shul. I also want to thank uh I have to read it to you cuz it caught my attention. [snorts] Let's see. Dear Rabbi Jacobson, Shlita.
