What’s said in this shiur

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

we know that the ultimate guard and the ultimate watcher is almighty god as we say in the ilium the book of psalms which is one of the 24 books of the bible of the torah in the psalm aleph psalm 121 it says hashem yoshumar says that the guardian of israel which is almighty god protects our going out and you're going in from now until all eternity and the tsar comes along and says that this pasuk refers primarily to the mitzvah of mezuzah that the mezuzah protects a person first when he leaves the house and then when he comes back into the house in other words not only when you are in your house but when you're traveling a kosher mezuzah on the front door of your house and every door post and every pathway in your home this protects you when you travel outside of your home and furthermore the tsar says that the word mezuzahs stands for zazz mothers to push away death that the mezuzah has the ability to push away death and therefore it's important that we upgrade our protection by making sure that if we have not inspected our messages within the last 12 months to make sure we do it now as we find in many letters of the rebbe hadid had instructed people to check their mesouzis if they were not checked within the last 12 months and this is not only true for mezuzis but of course this includes to fill in as well that they too should also be checked and made sure to be kosher and even though we look into the code of jewish law
