What’s said in this shiur

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

a few very short comments on Israel today the government was somewhat more lenient and we have permission to have many on him in open space up to 19 people I am quite worried I must say this and I think that our public servants and Representatives that are fighting together me mean yawning back and opening a mcfist again I think that's a mistake I think we must understand when we execute social distancing we're not doing it for them we're not doing anyone a favor we're doing it for ourselves we're doing it for our children and our families or to be more exact we doing it for our parents and for the elderly people in our community so there are some world leaders that say let's some old people die we need to get the economy back on track we need the money so so most people will die that's not the Torah approach old people to us are not the past or the future signe a soul a naval a dough who are the old people that might perish in this terrible plague who are they your rod your Shiva your Zeta your body so look around look at their faces so which one of them are you willing to let go oh so and the ill amongst us that can live for many years and they will pay the price I said many times the reason we are in our homes it's not the course we're doing anyone a favor that is what was out water some Baba kama that summer never be a kinase like a hawk and coz I'll quote the in
