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

So, today's class is dedicated by our dear friends Dr. Michael and Liz Michelle the pillars of our sheer and our classes in tribute to the 10th yard site of Dr. Michelle's mother. 10 years, yeah.

So, the yard site will be commemorated this Friday. She was a pillar of the Monsey community an educator, a mentor a pillar of kindness and benevolence and generosity. Also build an amazing beautiful family. Tehei nishmatah tzerurah betzeror hachaim. And may she remain and her loving memory remain an eternal source of blessing and inspiration to her family, all of her loved ones and all of the Jewish people. And thank you for your friendship and partnership. You could take the source sheet if you don't have. You have the source sheets here.
