What’s said in this shiur

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

A good I am recording Sunday night the day before Arav sukus and I want to begin with the question of the tour was he lived around 750 780 years ago and he was the illustrious son of the rush and he wrote the tur which old sadikim said if you learn tur you are m and you're so he asked the question why is it that sukus is after yum kip Hipper because the reasons that we have for celebrating sukus with the ananana the clouds and all this this all happened right after pes. So why would we wait till after the summer and then after rashium and then have sukus? That is his question. And he answers he answers a simple answer that well if we made it right after Pesak sukus then the world would say the reason we have the yumptive then is because we want the nice weather that after pesak it's the tail end or the middle of spring and summer is yet to come and It's a lot more comfortable in the shade and in the h uh the outdoors for that period of time and that's why we're sitting in the suka. But the makubam say a deeper and I find a very interesting answer and that is because on rash yum kipper a person doesn't know what he was judged for and what the conditions would be for the entire year. And one of the considerations is that the person has to go into gulos. Now we think of gullus going from town to town uh and through a forest and sleeping in this in the mmed and that's golus. But the truth is that if somebody is working and he has stable parnosa and he does and he loses suddenly lo his job he is thrust into golas also he doesn't know what tomorrow's going to
