What’s said in this shiur

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

There's a song that became very popular, a few years ago, in Eretz Yisroel, and it reached here. I also have dreams like Yosef had dreams. And just like Yosef was thrown into a miserable pit, I also find myself in such a place. And what gave Yosef HaTzaddik the Ko’ach to climb out, the strength of וימאן, to say no, to resist? So Chazal tell us, Yosef HaTzaddik saw the image of his father, דמות דיוקנו של אביו that his father believed in him. And his father stayed with him and came to him there, in that way, that gave Yosef HaTzaddik the ability to scream out, for himself and for all of us, וימאן. So how do we get out of the בור? What do we look at? What's the image in the window? There was a great Tzaddik, R’ Shimele from Czernowitz. He was the son of R’ Mendel of Vurka. One time, there was a husband and wife who came to R’ Shimele crying. Their daughter had some sort of a secret relationship
