What’s said in this shiur

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

so today we begin parrot Bays of time at the Vira and as we mentioned Thomas davara is part of the Corpus of uh of tremendous material that there are Mac wrote and we know that our Mac was one of the the all-time great machubalem and therefore much of what he writes is really rooted in Kabbalah we didn't see it so much in Park Olive but as the ProCom uh continue we will see that much of this is kabbalistic and therefore um we're not really going to be able to explain fully much of the kabbalistic elements that the term devara is bringing out so basically what we're going to try to do is we're going to try to we're going to try our best to um translate the kabbalistic parts and really focus more on those aspects that are relevant to Us La Mesa I just want to begin like we have in the past about the importance of a person in general dedicating a great effort to improving one's Midas and really this should be a very fundamental part of one's avoid Hashem the avoida Hamido is this are really the stones of the Torah and their root in other words the foundation of the whole Torah are amidos that's why writes in the Shari kadusha that even though Midas are so important and one would have expected to find a great discussion about Midas in the Torah nevertheless it's even more fundamental than that the martial being if you ask someone to build a house for you you don't have to write the foundation and the architectural plans that goes without saying likewise the Torah doesn't need to discuss Midas because the Midas are really the foundation upon which the Torah is built now much of Toma de Vira is predicated on the concept that there are 10 spherites
