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.

Thank you very much for your beautiful words both previously and your introductory remarks. They tell an old anecdote about a rabbi who would always give sermons about how you have to love children. One day they were paving his driveway and you know when children see fresh pavement their mission statement is you have to their mission statement is you have to leave your mark on this world. So they make sure to begin engraving in the pavement their initials or any other message they wanted to engrave. And the rabbi sees this on this fresh pavement he paid so much money to make a beautiful driveway and he loses it and he begins hollering at the kids. You're a bunch of spoiled bratsim selfcentered narcissistic kids. Where selfcentered narcissistic kids. Where were you raised to come on somebody's property and write your initials in my pavement? He's hollering on the top of his lungs that Ebbitson. Here's her husband losing it. So she comes running out and she sees how he's hollering at these frightened kids. She says, "I don't understand you, my dear husband. Every shabas at the pulpit, you're the one who speaks and waxes eloquently about treating children waxes eloquently about treating children with dignity and respect even when they're not behaving, being sensitive. What are you hollering at them? He looks at his wife and he says, "My dear wife, I love children in the abstract, not in the concrete." Now it's very easy to love children in the abstract in the concrete. It's a whole different par you know
