What’s said in this shiur

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

what we're talking about is your contribution what's your contribution on the planet here is a deep and heavy discussion because it's scary it's really scary like that you may not fulfill it which would be pretty scary because you could get upstairs and find out you didn't do what you came here for and that'd be a problem the way i like to put it is every person's born with a hook in his mouth and you can like hang around the boat you already got the hook in your mouth so you're going on the boat the boat's obviously god and so you're going on the boat so you can hang out on the around the boat you know maybe god will throw you a little you know fish here and there and just something to munch until he reels you in or you can run from the boat gotta let you go because when you're fishing you know you can like let line out you'll let all the line out you want you know you want to let line out and pretend you're gonna somehow win this one hook's already in your mouth you're born with a hook in your mouth he's eventually when you die you'll really end anyway now every person has two major jobs in life he has the job of being jewish obviously we're talking about jews here but his job being jewish needs the job of being jewish and you wish is what we're talking about when we're talking about contribution i mean you can contribute jewishly but it's numbed with you it just means saying i'm maine at the right times saying yaheishmerab at the right times making sure you're not doing create one
