What’s said in this shiur

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

We're live. Okay. Um, it's not always read together, but the labba tells us it's always themed together. Meaning even on the years that are separated because of the weeks, that's just based on the hashkah of the time. It's always based on hashka practice depending on the shabbasim corresponding to the yamim corresponding to which one falls and etc. as well as current events there's always it's current events there's always it's always relevant to that week. Um but specifically points out with Vayak Pakud that even when they are separated they're always together. There's there's this this theme that that runs between the two. And of course, they're connected with the notion of the Mishkan, right? And finally at Truman Titsava a couple weeks ago, we were given the command for the Mishkan on we were given many details about it. But finally in Vayak, Mosha actually like the process actually begins. Mosha gathers them Vakel. This is the day gathers them Vakel. This is the day after the day after um Yum Kipper and Mosha gathers them and says, "Okay, we're we're here. We're we're finally ready to do it." And all the all the everything mamish comes together until ultimately the dwells and rests in what we humans yen created. Hashem dwells and it's a party, right? A spiritual a spiritual party. So, it's all very exciting. These are the parishes that it happens and the Torah goes through detail after detail. Um so I wanted to
