What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
Uh today we're going to be doing uh How do we know God gave the Torah Mount Sinai? How do we know the Torah is from Mount Sinai? How do we know that the uh Torah is divine? How do we know that uh you know, what we're claiming to be this Sinai experience actually happened? You know, how do we know all this? Cuz the certainly observant Jews have lived their lives based on this. This is what governs my based on this. This is what governs my daily life. 1% of people you're talking about. 1% of people? The 1% Was it you that said that 100% the religious Jews have the 99% of their actions and intelligence and all that, but they're missing the 1% of the most critical. Mhm. That was not me. And it was 10%. It was 10% not 1%. Someone said 1%? I don't believe it was 1%. Could be at all. Anyway, listen up. going to create our own cult. Okay? So, you're all about to become fabulously wealthy. And if you don't mind, I'll be the cult leader. Um I mean, if one of you want to be the cult leader, I suppose we could arrange it, but but at this point, I'll be the leader. And the way we're going to become fabulously wealthy with this cult of ours is just through having lots and lots of followers. We are interested in getting people to be interested in doing this cult of ours. cult of ours. And we're going to be collecting 10% of their income as most religions, besides Judaism, have 10% of their income going towards the towards the establishment, which would be us. So, anyway, you get pretty wealthy pretty quick, you know. And I want a billion followers in like uh 30 years. I'm expecting a billion followers. We'll have already passed the fabulously wealthy point
