What’s said in this shiur

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

Haman of Russia tells Ahasuerus There's a nation that's scattered around your country, your countries. And Hazal tell us now's the time to attack because they're there's discord and they're not connected. But what Haman didn't understand is that deep down all of Israel are responsible for each other. We are connected. We are one. And wherever we find ourselves in the worlds we know we're family. Tonight's about celebrating that as I'm sure some of us will talk about that. But as I introduce Rabbi Gibber, it's really very special for us, for all of our brethren the children of Israel in the land of Israel. I'm on a number of WhatsApp groups and all the rabbis from outside of Israel are trying to come, are figuring out a way to come because that's what they want to feel part of it, they want to be part of it. They want to show the love. And we cherish we cherish the effort and the exhaustion we know both of you came in this morning and you've had a whirlwind day. I wouldn't be able to keep my eyes open but we thank you very much for the self-sacrifice of sharing words of Torah with us. And uh God should give us all strength. With the permission of Rabbi Dovid Gottlieb of blessed memory in the presence of my revered and beloved colleague Rabbi Ephraim Goldberg and my revered and beloved colleague Rabbi Josh Brody. All of this holy congregation I can't begin to tell you what it feels for me for us to be here tonight with all of you. Sure, we traveled the great distance to be here and yes, we didn't sleep much.
