What’s said in this shiur

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

okay para illuminated for par M so Mish as the name connotes m are laws it begins these are the laws that you shall place before the Jewish people and Rashi the very first P I didn't put this on the sori but Rashi says Rashi comments that the uh the con connects with the V and these are connects this para to the last para that's a continuation and that it's teaching us that just as the Commandments in the last week's par show were given at Sinai at sini so so to these are from sini and uh although that's true for all the mitzvos but the commentary say it's important to point that out here in particular when we're dealing with M Mish are um Mish logical civil societal laws um that many of which a society will necessarily have to establish on their own um so you might look at the laws of the Torah as well as just though these are just societal civil Creations um but the par tells us no these are from SII as well these are god-given laws and uh and one implication of that is that a actually that you wouldn't necessarily have come up with this on your own and B maybe that there's a different standard that's expected of us than that which a society would have would come up on its own and uh and therefore we find that when it comes to many interpersonal mitzvos that the uh the standard the expectation is raised for how we are supposed to conduct ourselves then what we perhaps would have come up with on
