What’s said in this shiur

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

We are in the Parashat Mishpatim and the parasha right after we got the Torah and the first thing that we start dealing with is about slaves. And kind of ironic because we just finished being slaves. We went out of Egypt. So again, we're talking about slaves. So very very sadly we are also slaves. We are just called modern slaves. And not not not much of a difference. And I heard somebody said the something very smart not too long ago. We have everything but we have nothing. We have so much of everything that we don't have nothing. And we don't have nothing because doesn't matter who the person is to find a free moment in your day, it's almost impossible. We're so busy with so many things that to find a half an hour to sit and read a book or to be with your child or to do something, it's almost impossible. Not too long ago I did some an individual that I know and I I was there and we were supposed to meet or something and I said I can't do this, I can't do this, I can't at this time I can't. I said, "What do you do all day long? I mean you you you don't have a job. You're older. You don't have kids. I mean how come you don't have time? I mean it's not that you're running now a a multi-million dollar company. What are you What are you so busy with? Oh, I
