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

good evening everybody it's wonderful to be back here uh as you see there's a green screen behind me the reason for that green screen is because we're in the middle of working on our video recording studio here in the torch center so this is also classroom also a podcast recording studio and now a video recording studio but this is all going to be moved for future classes right now we're just in the middle of testing working on some lighting and other things so that's why we have that in the things so that's why we have that in the background so we left off last week we started talking about the third level of the third level of uh of judgment okay of contemplation and this one is of judgment and that is that every person when we look throughout the torah we will see that the greater the person was the more scrutinized their judgment the more right imagine okay our child a little right imagine okay our child a little child uh makes a mistake so we say okay it's just a child but when it's an adult who makes that mistake we hold them accountable right you're an adult you should know better the torah is telling us the greater we are spiritually the more accountable we are for our actions i'm sorry i'm just going to make sure that all the sound is off and that will be okay so the the more accountable we are for our actions okay and we brought many examples last okay and we brought many examples last week talking about abraham and isaac and jacob and joseph and and michal and now the talmud and now we begin the words of the prophets also attest to the strictness of divine judgment and in the attractive chapter
