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

okay my business okay so this morning our topic is theia touching on other subjects now um of course the point was a plan words but uh besides plan words there's also um gives you the opportunity to ask any question you like at any point so if you have any specific issues you want to raise after get to the main body I'm happy to address them so the beginning with ngia so this is topic which is a concern to teenagers from time in Memorial what exactly to do with in relationship to the other gender when coming encounter with them and it's interesting thing is that Rabbi was asked to address this point to a bunch of teenagers many years ago I remember exactly the date and it was fast fascinating to see what he wrot because obviously they you have a person who's a great scholar who's one of theor who has to address a bunch of ncsy type teenagers and what's he going to say so several of you have heard part bits and piece of this for me already but it's worthwhile focusing on it of course in the greatest detail the rub said very interesting thing he said that there's a famous philosopher of religion whose name was William James William James was famous secular philos religion at Harvard and he wrote that the purpose of religion is happiness in other words people are not happy in this world what gives them happiness the promise of a better world the promise of a master plan the promise of things to come which make it all worthwhile that's what religion does for people so he says well she doesn't say this but obviously this leads into what KL Mark said car marks is famous having said religion is the opiate of the masses in other words religion dulls the proletariat into not rebelling against
