What’s said in this shiur

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

Let us talk a bit about this magnificent night. I always say Eden have many magnificent days but they have two special magnificent nights. Le Corned and Leila Sedo very different in essence but the combination of these two magnificent nights is the essence and the tamsis of Avoid the ando aavo [Music] and iso amas yimadin the essence of rush lea. It is all about aavo. So these two nights together are the essence of aoid. People struggle what to make of the hagod seems to be a compilation of various different mamm without seda. What is it? doesn't have structure and structure is so important. When I was a young boy, one of my very first inspirations was that and I started learning. I was young and I I don't think I really understood the depth of salam but I was so moved and inspired by the sedar by the structure everything in the is is so beautiful and so msuda so orderly and he has the famous mush of the forest and the botanical garden and he says you might have the same plants and the same flowers in the forest first, but in the botanical garden, it is the seder that makes the difference that brings out the beauty of what you see. And I think sed is so magnificently structured and has three parts. One, two and three. The first section starts off with the most fundamental simple question that every child would ask. Ma And then we start to explain which and which says it's about says no it's about freedom. says we do both and that's the and that's the m the explains it's not even the is
