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.

the yeshiva dotnet so welcome everybody and I want to thank you for the privilege of inviting me to such an important evening and an important event I'm sure you'll hear more about this special center of recovery in the Holy Land the way I got involved with this was a very close friend who has two children who both fell prey to the calamity and disease of addiction and did not have the funds to be able to find an appropriate center of recovery some of them are great some of them are lousy some of them are okay some of them are horrible some of them are extraordinary but all of them cost a lot of lot a lot of money and in great desperation and yearning he discovered this a-z house in arity Searle and two of his children not one but two of his children experienced tremendous emotional and spiritual and mental growth from the abyss of addiction to the blessings and healings of recovery and the hearing about this from his personal point of view compelled me on an emotional level to be to be part of it I don't know if there's any other Center in Israel is probably not right that takes in addicts on eight month program and literally feeds them and nurtures them mom-ish for free so number one it's good for people to have awareness people have children nephews nieces cousins friends relatives community members sometimes you see posts you see emails it's important for people to be educated about alternatives and the possibilities for hope for healing and for recovery
