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

It's almost like today you have to take a position like some years ago. You, you know, you could be a par Jew. You could be a humanitarian [music] Jew and a progressive Jew and still very Jewish and proud and I love Israel and I love my people and I love me too and I love Black Lives Matter and I love the feminist movements and I love progressiveness. I love everybody cuz I'm a lover last few years it's like what are you a lover of? You're a lover of kamas. You're a lover of kizbala. You're a lover of nasala. What are you a lover of? What are you a lover of burning babies alive? It was one thing burning babies alive? It was one thing kamas it was one thing the rabbit anti-semites [music] okay the extreme right the extreme left the academics we were waiting for the the psychology community is going to come and one after the next the [music] most prominent voices in trauma in addictions in pain and suffering aligned fully completely with kamas hello everybody my name [music] is Dr. Schlamese rimen and I'm the host of podcast therapy with Dr. on the living network. Typically, our [music] podcast is audio only and available on Spotify, Apple Podcast or available on Spotify, Apple Podcast or the Living Lim Hotline. [music] However, we had a special opportunity to collaborate living with Unite to Heal, [music] which is Amudum's fundraiser. Yakov Langanger hosted a conversation between Rabbi Ywway Jacobson and [music] myself and it spanned many many topics including mental health, shame, trauma, AI, parenting as well as anti-semitism. [music] It was a very deep cabalistic and psychological conversation. I hope you [music] enjoy and gain from it.
