What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
just before we uh get back in gentlemen we are on the sitter and we're focusing specifically on the morning and we always just quick review how do we define how a jew begins his mourning one word gentlemen gratitude right why is gratitude important why is that something that we want to inculcate gratitude makes you happy you don't feel as if you deserve everything oh you don't feel which which really could be the same thing as akiva said meaning why are you happy said meaning why are you happy well let's look at it the opposite way because if a person's not gracious if a person does not have gratitude maybe pass adam a sitter we said the jewish day starts with gratitude granted why gratitude if a person does not have gratitude he's going to take things naturally for granted if you take nathan's natural for granted you're going to think you deserve everything and you're never going to be happy as we all know the gamora says a person who has a hundred dollars once 200 000 right and a person has 200 wants and a person has 200 wants 400. oh really meaning there's uh that's the point the point is exponential to the degree the amount of what you have you'll always want more right that's just natural that is just a natural aspect of life so we as jews try to fight that um by by um just meditating contemplating a little bit on all the good things that we have i made a joke earlier when we saw this nice uh library i said everyone should thank the man sitting here who was the librarian i said if you would have seen this library
