The Yanuka’s own words in this shiur, translated into English by Lehallel · 469 words · 2:26. Press a time to hear it said.

0:00 Here is Segev, my son - wow! Wow! I have to tell him, Rav, Segev, this is the Rav, the tzaddik - I have no words, I simply - I get emotional when I see him, this tzaddik prayed for you and he strengthened me, he was an anchor, he said to me: Your son will come back.

0:25 - Wow, wow, wow, how moving, thank you very much, Rav, thank you very much, I want to meet you, I really have a request, I want to meet you. I want to thank you in person for everything you did. You don't understand what he (the father) went through... You don't understand. And I told him: with Hashem's help, read the story of Yosef and Yaakov. Until today. Until today, until the Rav. You will meet together. Rav, to this day I read the portion of Vayeshev - 'two years'. Do you want to hear something?

0:54 I'll tell you something. Oh, Mama, I can't believe I'm saying this. Do you know that they let me watch the story of Yosef and Yaakov there? Oh, Mama, I didn't know the story of Yosef and Yaakov; they gave it to me, but from their Arab side, and that is how I understood - I understood the story of Yosef and Yaakov. - Oh my, what, the Quran? - From a series, on the computer, they let me watch a series of Yosef and Yaakov, the series is called 'Sayyidna Yusuf', that's what the series is called, 'Sayyidna Yusuf', that's what the series is called, and I didn't know the story before, and I saw it there - that they took him, that they actually sold him, yes, his brothers threw him into a pit, and they found him, and then they sold him, and he was in prison, between 3 and 10 years, and he went through many trials.

1:38 Mama, unbelievable. Now you are telling this? Because now he said it. And the Rav said it! The Rav said it! The tzaddik decrees, Hashem fulfills. I received the strength - your prayers - I, I felt it there, that it wasn't me. I didn't recognize myself, that I could stand up to the situations I stood in, and it's only the Creator of the world, it's only your prayers, it's thanks to you.

2:03 It's only thanks to you. I'll say it: it's thanks to you, thanks to the whole Jewish people. Thank you so much for everything you did for me, I don't take it for granted at all. You devoted so much for me. Thank you for everything, for accompanying us through these two years. Thank you, Rav. Thank you very much, honored Rav. Thank you. Thank you all. Thank you all, thank you very much, thank you very much, bye.
