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.

2448 since creation 2048 years since the creation that's the year when the Jewish people for the first time left mitzim so how many years have passed already how many years you remember how many years have passed from 2448 let's do this together 3448 would make it a thousand years Right. 4448 would make it 2,000 years. 5448 would make it 3,000 years. That would be 5,448. But where are we now? That would make it 3,000 years. 5448. Again, the Exodus happened in the year 2448 since the creation of the universe. 2,448 years later. In the Hebrew, it's Bimme Bim is 2,00 is 448. Tamak Bamak. So 3,000 years later would be 5,448. 5,448. Where are we now? 5785. Tough payhe. So let's go from 5448 to 548 6. So 5748 which was tsh was 3,000 years and now it's is 3,330 years plus the tshin p is another seven years. So what are we? We're 3,337 years every year celebrating the seder. Every year celebrating again it's a long time but maybe it's not such a long time right so 1988 was 3,300 years is another 30 years. So 3,330 and add 7 33 3337 that's this year. I said in a year the other day that if we would put tables at our seder and each table would represent a generation of people who know each other
