Lessons From My Mother That Shaped My Life

What’s said in this shiur

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

Unfortunately, it wasn't that long ago. It was a little bit over a year ago that I stood in this spot and I gave a lecture in honor of the schllesium, the 30-day memorial of my father, Oliver Shalom. And now is the schllesim, the 30 days from my mother's funeral. It was helpful for me when I thought about some memories of my father and I I shared them with the community last time. So, I figured I would do the same thing tonight. So, let me just start off by pointing out the obvious that my father's passing, my mother's passing were pretty much backtoback as far as years. The exact dates are 16 Kisliff. My father's first yard site 16 Kisliff this this year. And then my mother's passing was the 12th of Tavis. So, at any rate, when it when when she passed, I was thinking, how how many days apart were the actual days, the yard sites, it's got to be 20 something days. And then I I kind of remembered something vaguely. I wasn't exactly sure about something that the Reba said about his parents yard sites that had something to do with 20 days. I thought it was 26, which is the name of Hashem. the yud vke y is 10 and hey is five and vavv is six and the hey again is five so that's 26 but I couldn't remember exactly I I texted one of my good sources
