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

Welcome everyone back to our weekly sh on the par with the perush of the tonight or I should say [laughter] welcome back to the sometimes weekly sh those who know no uh sometimes we unfortunately have to skip a week or two but uh not by not on purpose tonight we're doing the 18th of so this Um, the dedications have already um Ysef Benavar and also Shaheen and obviously is there. Amen. So the midrash says on this para all right so let's recap a little bit of about what the para was all about goes and lives with lean lavan his uh newly selected elected father-in-law lives with him for 20 some odd years but in between there's a lot dealings between Jacobinu and Lavan. First he works for the first daughter for Raalu for seven years. Then he gets tricked and he's given instead. Then he works for another seven years. That's 14 years to be able to marry Rael. When he marries then he starts working for Lavan altogether. But he makes a deal with Lavan because he understood and he knew that Lavan is a crooked crooked person. There was not one straight bone in his body. Okay, the midrash let me just tell you how okay let let me just let's let's understand what the midrash says about Lavan on Leia's wedding night. Lavan invites everybody and says please come and enjoy yourselves. It's a feast.
