What’s said in this shiur

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

Good evening everybody. It is a tremendous tremendous honor to be here really who have come from near and far and a special thank you to Mr. Zacharov at last entire kadisha. I think your tie qualifies for the Jewish term misa mishuna that [laughter] he literally asked me to comment on his tie. I wouldn't. It's It's apparently tie. I wouldn't. It's It's apparently the Missyra and the Minug of this dinner is the comment on that tie. We will see if that will get him a new tie by next year. We'll find out. I want to thank Adam for arranging and for hosting me. And in general, I I just want to say Adam is perhaps the wildest fan of our extended family. And I apologize to all of you that because of his Mishag gas, you have to hear me tonight. That's [laughter] the life of my grandmother during the wars the years of the treacherous Holocaust. And therefore me standing here is literally only because of her sacrifice, her dedication to her sister and therefore what can I say but the deepest appreciation and may her nish have an aliyah. Amen. So, I sent my family. I don't know where it came from. I don't know what your local newspaper is exactly here that had it, but there was some picture of me and it, but there was some picture of me and it says Turski grandson to speak. And then there was some little article that said nothing and then it said Nissan is a grandson of Rabbi Tski and also he does something else. I said to my family, I said, "I wonder why they invited me. Can can anyone figure out why they invited me to Denver?" So, it seems that my claim to fame, as it should be, is my great illustrious and holy grandfathers.
