What’s said in this shiur

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

[music] [singing] [music] [music and singing] [singing] >> Okay. Thank you for coming. I know it's a uh a uh It's a very busy time before Pesach. Uh so I appreciate that you uh took time off from Pesach cleaning or perhaps you wanted to go time off from Pesach cleaning, but uh I'm grateful that you're here. Um as always we dedicate the sheer to pray for the protection of uh the Jewish people and to Eretz Yisrael, uh the lasting unity of Am Yisrael, which will lead to victory. And we also pray for all those whose health has been affected physically or emotionally uh by the terror, by the war, uh and the uh by the terror, by the war, uh and the like. Uh Aliyat Neshamah Chan Aleya bas Peretz v'Itzi Porat Sheindl, the late mother of Mike Klein, and her yahrzeit was the 3rd of Nisan. In memory of the father and brother of Chaya Feingold, David Moshe ben Avraham Fischel, and Yonatan Yisrael ben David Moshe. Uh and may all the neshamos have an aliyat neshama. And uh finally by our friend David Weiskopf in honor of family suffering Weiskopf in honor of family suffering from parental alienation. Uh this is a very very very serious problem, but you might be wondering exactly why would this be the week in which we would uh mention a few words about it? Uh the answer is uh the haftorah of Shabbos Hagadol has a very very important verse. I know this haftorah well. It happens to be my own bar mitzvah haftorah, although it was not uh the parsha of the week. It was a leap year. It said it was a remos, which is which is now read after Pesach.
