What’s said in this shiur

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

[Music] the portion of me Cates has 147 sukham roof member of the sukham and a mnemonic to remind us that there are 146 Sookie is number one here is key Yahoo the king of Judah and amatzia which is the second Simha and the second mnemonic there's also a third mnemonic but it's not in all editions and then we have something unique something that is not found anywhere in the entire five books of the Torah that is a unique mnemonic and that is that the Torah here tells us that there are 2025 words in the partial it's the only part that I rabbis attributed a number of words to the parsha in addition to the number of tsuki so therefore we have to understand number one the concept of Kufa involved 146 passages number two what is the connection between Hazuki Yahoo number three what is the connection with amatzia and number four what is the connection between 2025 words and how does all of this connect with Chanukah because the portion of McKay is always read during the holiday of Hanukkah and the shelach author tells us when there's a major holiday and even a minor holiday during a certain week there's definitely a connection with the parsha of the week another interesting detail is that the number 146 which is the amount of passages indicates is also the same amount of passages in the Pasha of Mauritius the very first portion of the Torah and there to our rabbis gave the Masoretic note to be amatzia and SS keahu but over there they first put amatzia then his Keogh but in this parsha for some reason they switched the order historically amatzia
