The Evil Inclination is Worse Than a Terrorist | Rabbi Guy Nagar Shlita

What’s said in this shiur

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

You need to know that the evil inclination is exactly like a terrorist , or even worse. Let's take a serious terrorist, Sinwar and his brothers. Right? There was such a terrorist. If a person is in this situation, it’s a hot day, you had a problem with your car, someone picked you up, dropped you off at the entrance to Be'er Sheva, and you need to get here to the Yeshiva. He dropped you off at the entrance to Be'er Sheva. Where the traffic lights are at the beginning? Great, you have to walk now. You have to come, those who know the way—the long road, right ? The road to Kanyonim, isn't it? You're walking, thinking, saying: By the time I get there now, it's a half-hour walk. Suddenly, a Mercedes pulls up, the air conditioning is on full blast, cold, with speakers in the trunk, music playing and all that. He stops for you, opens the window. You see inside, it’s ready for you, everything you need, he says to you:
