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

[Music] uh [Music] welcome back to turn friday into arab shabbos very first week they were allowed to play music again i was debating what music to play whether we should be playing or normally festive exciting the cover chat is kodesh but as this friday this era of shabbos is different because of the horrific tragedy the jewish people suffered and continue to suffer the imam and i'm playing is actually what was being sung in merone last night the crowd in meron sang animan shortly before it dispersed and that terrible foreign memory of rabbi lord jonathan sax or viacourt david aries thank you for your generosity and what can we do as absolutely broken as we are as devastated as we are but shabbos is upon us and shabba's demands even in the middle of shiva shabbos does not break shiva it's not incompatible the feelings of mourning and grieving and loss and devastation and simultaneously simultaneously the feeling of shabbos to immerse ourselves and to find comfort in hashem a person goes through a difficult circumstance a person's scared or afraid a person experiences challenge or loss they run into the arms of a loved one a mother a father a family member they find comfort by running into the arms and the embrace it doesn't make the challenge of the problem go away it doesn't heal the sick or bring those who are no longer here back to life and yet being in that embrace brings a comfort of strength and shabbos is the embrace of hashem and so
