What’s said in this shiur

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

Okay. Great. Okay. One more second. All right. The shoes that belongs to me. Belongs here. Yeah. That's enough. Oh, yeah. Okay. Great. Okay. Exactly. All right. Okay. Great. Okay. So, we said uh to open to the shama. Open to the shama. Uh we said last week that Natalie, how would you describe it? What did we say last week? What is the directive that the shama gives us? What's the directive? Okay. I'm not sure how you're phrasing it, but the way I remember and what I took my takeaway from last week, right, is how the shama is showing me my relationship, right, with Hashem, right? And I love this term. I've been saying it all week long. Haz people are really sick of me for this. All right. I am in love with Hasha. Beautiful. That's what we're talking. That's exactly what we're talking about. That's exactly what we're talking about. Yeah. The not all of it because the connection wasn't good. But I wish I was here because I don't know if with the humility because I'm not knowledgeable but the agree of the love and the being love and the word that I wanted to say in the class is that the love to Hashem or the love it's it's a complete surrender. It's a no it's not it's not a complete surrender. No but I'm glad you're mentioning. Okay. So the term we're using, the term that we're going to work with is to be in love with Hashem, not to love Hashem, not to be subservient to Hashem, nothing like that. We want to be in love with Hashem. That's what we want. Now, thank you, we've all experienced being in love, right, with a person, right? Yeah. So, what's the difference between loving a person and being in love with a person? What's the difference? What do you say?
