What’s said in this shiur

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

so welcome back we are discussing the kuzuri we are in the second relic discussing the terms that we use to describe god so ishai would like to ask a question yes mr isha rabbi madeline okay so the argument we had was a negative argument we're saying if god wasn't a negative argument don't have such things as negative arguments in the negative terms in the negative terms negative terms if god is everywhere i guess it's not a negative term if god is everywhere okay so whatever the argument is if god is everywhere then god occupies space if god is everywhere then it means that god is at least somewhere in order to be somewhere you have to occupy space occupy space and in order to yes at least somewhere and in order to occupy space you have to have to be a body because only bodies occupy space correct god is not a body therefore god is the body right what at least i didn't say that if you occupy space he's at least a body no no then he is a body you are a body and if but since god is not a body then he cannot occupy space which means he cannot be everywhere but i don't know what beyond means it's like my stomach what space your stomach yeah am i anything inside of me it's not that it's not me like i'm it but it's not me
