What’s said in this shiur

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

When you leave it every single year, you kind of hope you don't come back. And when you come back, you wonder why in the world or say honestly, you say, "Hashem, please whatever you want, please put into my mouth. Hashem, Hashem should put the right words in. We should be this is the last year of of Galut and see the world of of Gah." I want to tell you the speech tonight. is entirely from a rabbi that I'm close to in Israel. Last year we spoke about it as well. His name is Mosha Levi. He lives in Benbra. He's a rabbi that I've been close to for almost a decade. I called him on Friday. He downloaded yod that I've never heard before and I have no idea how I'm going to try to share them. If you hear something you like, just give him the credit directly. Leave me out of it completely. If you hear something that you don't like, assume that on the way down, my head messed it up. So, let's make sure that's clear. Nothing here should be taken as something that is mine. It is not. It doesn't belong to me. So, the rabbi and I had a conversation on Friday, and I'm just going to share with you that conversation through my time mind. One of the great mistakes that we make as he said to me was when you get to we assume that the goal of a is to be sad.
