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

One of my most precious aid I am extremely proud of and I feel at home in this base medish because I've given many many shim but I know the of the kyo I look around this room and I know about 20% of the faces but not more. So it's aus for me to be with you tonight. I gave a sh tonight and then I went for and it's an I made it back here on time. So it's almost Purim and Purim is a very special day in a way unique and probably the strangest in Purim which so many Gimm struggled with is what's the point. Do we need to get to a stage in which you lose your mind and you no longer differentiate between good and bad? So when exactly do we need to singash? Whenish when are we supposed to sing? movement only a fool would try to understand Kazal Esther Hester rhymes and maybe that's the it's not the way we learn kazal when we learn kazal there has to be something more meaningful in the of menato So ina and Yiddish remembering is very fundamental. We are supposed to remember our days of glory and we are supposed to remember our days of tragedy all associated with which is so fundamental. It's not only every day throughout the year morning and night we have the all the mitzvah of all are remembering the past is one of the most fundamental ideas in Yiddish. Why is it so important to remember famous at the end of para's boy? Why is it so important to remember?
