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.

yesterday two days ago matsushabus first the end of shabbos and the a little bit after shabbos was akron here about the five towns i was it was a beautiful gathering hashem and a wonderful turnout and uh what do you want just you want me to give them the 10 second version for those who weren't here we spoke about a lot of things but i think one of them was that um achen chopesach is the commemoration of the splitting of the sea christians which i conveyed the gist of about wine action been aminoda was the only one to jump into the sea he was the only one with that idea but the way that ebb explains it based on the madris is actually you wonder why he even did it because um before martin tito the jewish people were not yet halal jewish and a non-jew is not allowed to take their own life that's one of the seven noah heid laws and yet throwing yourself into the sea would certainly be endangering your life now if you're jewish you also have a mitzvah of kids hashem which is to sanctify god's name even at the risk of your life or even giving up your life but that mitzvah of kidness hashem does not exist for non-jews so that was the deliberation that was going on at the time of the the of the splitting of the sea people were like there's the sea hadn't split yet they had no idea it would split so they were saying are we allowed to endanger our lives holocaust and so then now the question becomes why did it why didn't action wait and listen to the conclusion of the scholarly debate and finally find out if he was even allowed to do what he did
