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

Hi, this is Dov Odvorsky. With my special current events segment. We don't do this too often. Remember I Mordechai Berger was once on an El Al flight. And it was snowing outside very heavily. But he had been upgraded to business class cuz he traveled a lot. And he said they were bringing them drinks and this and that and he was sitting in a big seat and he was really very happy. He didn't care. But everybody in the back, you know, in the economy less, economy minus. >> [laughter] >> They didn't have economy plus back then. They only had economy minus. You know, people are on top of each other and they're going crazy. So he said suddenly there's an announcement from the pilot. And he says, uh people are saying that they want to hear my voice. There is a lot of snow. That was the end. >> [laughter] >> Cuz it's stating the obvious. So I've been asked, uh could you say something uh about the war that's going on in our show and the missile attacks. And uh what could I say? There's a lot of snow. >> [laughter] >> I don't know what I'm going to say at this point. I spoke about you know, the wars in the past. But um I'll I'll share with you my insights. First of all, I am so over missile attacks. Okay? I'm so sick of them already. Uh I spoke uh I have a I have a little show and we have a minyan every Shabbos and Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur we have a bigger minyan, you know. And uh I said this past year it's just absolutely wild. I grew up in Long Island. You know, I never once had a missile attack. Now, we'll be coming missile connoisseurs. I don't know where the missiles coming
