The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi YY Jacobson’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] welcome the Higham please join me let us say a big lehayim recovered you test kislev Haga gula they have liberation a tremendous day with powerful energy to empower ourselves to elevate ourselves to inspire ourselves to strengthen each other with one heart with love with camaraderie so please join me Luke I am high in Lahaina they tell the story about a group of Jews elderly Jews who would meet on a continuous basis and one man in the group always called himself the optimist of course when Jews meet they discuss world events and they determine exactly how the leaders of the world should behave and will behave and naturally the news in the world is not always that exciting and everybody in the group was very pessimistic what's going to be but one drew was extremely optimistic and finally after one of the meetings their summits that they had every day somebody approaches him and says you know you look so depressed you have such a sour face and yet you continuously call yourself the optimist so he says what do you think you think it's easy to be an optimist it's a very difficult feat which reminds me you know they say about the anecdote about the Knesset the Israeli Parliament once met a few years ago when the Israeli economy was very dire to discuss what they can do to rebuild Israeli economy one of the Parliament one of the Knesset members suggested he said why don't we learn from Japan and Germany let's declare war against the United States of America
