What’s said in this shiur

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

Okay, good. Okay, great. Okay, so we started we uh we we spent some time on the shama, right? So, let's let's just backtrack and pull the pieces together. We um we understand as follows. We understand that there are certain a limited number of just a few just a few just a few prayers that are biblical right the overwhelming majority are rabbitic from our perspective we generally speaking treat them the same we we treat biblical ical edicts, biblical mitzvot, biblical commandments and rabbitic. Generally speaking, we treat them the same. Generally speaking, we treat the tidot the same. We treat the prayers the same except when we don't. And when we don't is when we're establishing a pecking order. In other words, what what is most critical? Thank you very much. Building is flying. It's beautiful to see. Thank you. Thank you. Um, so when we when we uh want to establish that order of importance, the tilah that rises to the top, thank you very much. Thank you. To that rises to the top is the sham. Okay? Rises to the top. Now, if it rises to the top, when it rises to the top, what does that say to me? In other words, to answer the question, I want you to go back one sec. What what is the point of why do we pray? To connect to Hashem to connect to Hashem is part of it. And what's the other reason? Why do we pray? Verbalize things
