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

is calmed the anxiety as it were of the Divine is relaxed through through our Praises but isn't just our praising hasm doesn't just need us to praise him the point is is that there is if there is still a conscious being or a community of conscious beings in this world that recognize the purpose of life that recognize that we're here to elevate and to expand our Consciousness to see Beyond The Limited uh way that things are in the present to dream of a brighter future the brightest of Futures and to work actively toward that end so that that that calms God down otherwise Hashem is very anxious because again Hashem made space in his world he created the human that could either be Mish the biggest sadic in the world or the biggest kamnik in the world really and and it's not that's not God Hashem made space for the human being and he says very clearly the choice is on on you the choice is on us all of us in this room as human beings have this choice we could either rise to the greatest loftiest Heights of compassion and sensitivity and kindness and and and and um Mercy you know and and really every kind of good holy sensitive trait or not someone else in Gaza talking about me and you it is conceivable that we as human beings who have this dual nature can sink to the depths of the worst kind of depravity it's possible it's a sheer that I gave on Tish where I said that we we very often jump to to the assumption that people who do horrible things so they're not people anymore means that now they became animals and we do this as a defense mechanism to sort of protect ourselves and our like structural Integrity to say
