What’s said in this shiur

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

so to those who are our veterans or at least have you been here for the past few weeks what chapter are we on 23. very good and um chapter 23 if you had the character not that the altar in tanya actually groups his chapters but based on intuition based on things that you've maybe you've heard from people who've learned tanya a few times before chapter 23 would be part of a group of chapters that would run from which chapter to its chapter 18 to 25 18-25 very good okay and if you would characterize the chapters that run from 18-25 what what what would you say is the theme or the revealing the hidden love revealing that this is really good oh you're looking at the tiny map yeah okay so this is not only you're allowed to but that is that's it's genius okay so you know what could do me a favor since you're looking at a tanya map what does it say is the summary for chapters 18 through 25 in the tiny map you're looking at a tiny little image on a phone of the ti the tiny map of this giant natural love for god from the patriarch by tapping into the love every jew can be obey no need through an understanding of divine unity chapters 20-22 one sees how all mitzvahs affirm god's oneness chapter 23 while all sin separates the sinner from god chapter 24. thus the jewish the jews innate desire to cling to god will be enough to drive him to observe all mitzvahs in even under the most difficult circumstances chapter 25 okay right there that was a summary of the whole thing okay you ever follow that basically we said if you want to summon up really intense emotions
