What’s said in this shiur

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

okay uh so tonight is actually uh this is the week of bishala which is passes Shira and the Jewish people sang right they sang Shira because there's a tremendous Redemption that they witnessed which was extraordinary you know it's amazing you know what's amazing about bashalach or the whole Saga of Egypt you know is that uh even when he performs miracles it's always a miracle what's called of coincidence where things happen to be together at the same time even though they're independent events and that's a miracle it's called The Miracle of coincidence can hide himself as I will point out you know when poor uh when I talk about Purim but Egypt was unusual like turbansum always conceals himself because he doesn't want to disturb free will I mean it's uh if it's obvious that he's behind everything that all things are orchestrated by God well then that that they say uh you know removes free will because then uh you know you don't have free will anymore because you know the truth so it's amazing to know that sometimes certainly in the past by Egypt God completely threw off the veil as they say and he came out and did his thing as they say and he would just wiped out Egypt with Miracles that we've never seen before in fact there's even an English expression this is built this is biblical you know and so on you know so when the Jews sang Shira it's not only the Shiro that they were redeemed of course that was the song of Joy mostly the song of Thanksgiving to God but that they were able to witness the rabbana Islam doing this
