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

The algorithms of anti-Semitism will always win. They'll always always win. There's just too much content out there. So, when you said the bananam hate us, I don't know if they do. I just think people are incredibly misguided. I had a mother [music] speak to me a few months ago. You know, her daughter sat at the table, Shabbos [music] table, and as kids do, they they challenge you at your core, right? They get parents to actually work on themselves. And said to the said to the parents, [music] Shabbos table with guests, they Shabbos table with guests, they Teenagers know when to push. It's a teenage girl and she said, "It's enough now. It's a genocide. It's enough, right? Let's call a spade a spade." [music] And she went on and and and on and on. Is she a bad person for having that point of view? >> What's going on in the world could be scary. How our kids interpreting it could be scarier. But just know this episode is about a very uncomfortable topic, but you will hear really practical tools, and also words of hope. So, stick around until the very end. This episode is in loving memory of Shimshon Dovid ben Yaakov Miriam changed mine. Okay. Here we go. Rabbi Doron Birnbaum, thank you so much for coming all the way from the UK for this. I appreciate that. Um I know you're busy here in America while you're here, but let's just get straight into it. Uh sadly, anti-Semitism is on a clear rise. From your perspective, what have you seen personally and then also we'll get into it from a chinuch teaching students and children perspective. >> Yeah, well, thanks for having me on. I mean, first of all, obviously we know about the the attacks that happened in Golders Green and they weren't the first
