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.

I'm just uh discussing a topic because in recent years I think in the past 20 or 30 years various different form came out to be about a in our times that don't have a whether they koser or not [Music] and you know sometimes I have difficulty defining myself uh I usually don't have difficulty in defining others but defining myself sometimes is to me a bit defining myself sometimes is to me a bit complicated uh but I am I think very and to adhere [Music] TR this deals with even though the stick is intact and it is only the which is but everybody agrees that you know sometimes it's that have a p on the top of the ESC there's like a little twig a little Branch or a little stick looks like a little piece of wood and on the top of that there's Andes don't have a and therefore an e without a is the problem is only anth so what about a in our days in which there are many more with than there were there are many more with than there were in the past and I remember even when I was young going back 30 or 40 or 50 years there were nearly as many with atim as they are today so some in recent years wrote that because there are many with today it's no longer to say and maybe when right that is the reasoning why it's because I still think that don't have a but I don't think it all depends what is the and so the which is very interesting rights there are two different types of a with a without if doesn't have a p it's sure
