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.

I didn't push it. Go ahead, push it. We're live? Okay. All right. Now we're live. All right. We're getting a little bit of a late start because this is our first um event here at the new SoulWords House just uh steps from the Ohel and it's a significant place at a significant time. Lag BaOmer uh Yom Simchas Rashbi and uh thank you everyone for joining us. Those who joined us in person and those who are joining us online from all over the world, wherever you may be. Um a very significant event. This is the product of many, many months of hard work and toil procuring this property and renovating the property and uh getting it ready for this event. And it's a little bit surreal cuz I've been in preparation mode for so long. It's like, are we really Did we really finally start? We're really here. Really doing this. Um and I And by the way, as I'm speaking, I'm cognizant of the fact there's a little bit of a noise in the background which you probably didn't notice, but now you will. Uh it's the sound of a drill. Um that's the guys out back finishing putting the steps on the deck. Um Leo, come on in. By the way, some guy from Chicago who lives in Rome stole your name. Leo, yeah. Yeah, that's who I'm talking about. Yeah. Okay. Um Leo is the cause of all this. We'll tell you maybe later the whole story about when he went to the Ohel and he asked a bracha from the Rebbe to expand the SoulWords reach. And that almost immediately after everything on all platforms blew up to ridiculous levels and it's a true story and he was there, too.
