Unlocking Life's Meaning: Rabbi Benzion Klatzko, Rivka Malka's Brother, Inspires

What’s said in this shiur

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

[Music] I was just in Israel with Rabbi Klasco about a month ago and on on his Akuba trip and I'll just say that the trip changed my life but also hearing Rabbi Klatskco uh changed my life. He gave us Klatskco uh changed my life. He gave us various speeches throughout the trip and it really helped show me what it means to be a Jew in America and in the modern world. And uh he's a great guy. He was also just a great resource to have as we went through Israel. Um and I trust that you all enjoy the speech tonight. So without further ado, Rabbi Benio Klatskco. So good evening everyone. I'm not a I'm not a great fan of uh necessarily doing a speech in a synagogue because it feels like services and uh when you come and like services and uh when you come and you see services you like you give a great big yawn or time for sermon. Um so we'll try to make it exciting and interesting. Um WOW is an amazing organization and um if it's your first time here, one of your first times, you really struck gold. You really really did and um it's one of the reasons besides that uh you got to meet Rabbi Bergman and you got to meet uh Ruf Kamala who's just a superstar in her own right. Give it up for Riff Kamala. [Music] [Applause]
