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

okay good morning everyone and thank you for joining us for our uh weekly class of uh the pez mightier than the sword uh so today we're gonna speak about a very interesting uh discussion uh which uh is i think much more appropriate for uh our day and age of course everything that we've been talking about is appropriate we talk we talk on the phone right we talk to our neighbors the kiddush uh in front of our house at work and and and everywhere in between but uh this conversation uh that we're going to talk about today uh speaks about something that is very relevant in our day and age uh the way they posed to the question um it's not uh it's it's it's of course it's relevant but it's not uh as relevant but we're gonna take it um and make it uh into something that's much more relevant and what's that that is when you're not actually talking right but you are writing or posting all right so the question the dilemma is like this your local newspaper carries a parenting advice column written by your next door neighbor who is a therapist and he or she brings a very unflattering example of a mother who over protects her children despite the fact that she uses a different name it is clear to everyone who knows your family that she is talking about your wife all right about you your friend gives you a copy of the paper and says read mrs levine's parenting column believe believing that you and your wife should know not to trust the therapist as a friend this neighbor report uh reports requests right
