What’s said in this shiur

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

Good morning everybody. Good morning. Thank you for coming. Welcome. 5786 May 1st 2026. So we're going to continue the mimer that we began. This is Shia number five, right? Shia number five in this mime. So it's page 53. On top it should say akare page 53 the second column. If you want a clue where we're holding it's the same place you were holding yesterday in the morning. That's just a clue. Uh yeah, you're here. The traffic didn't move yet.

One of the one of the most meaningful compliments I ever got from somebody was they came over to me and said he travels every day to Manhattan from Muny to Manhattan. And you know the George Washington Bridge it can be smooth and it could be five minutes and it could be a half an hour and it could be an hour. He says and it was the worst part of the drive. You know the traffic to Manhattan from Manhattan. Then he said he started to listen to the sharim and he says since Barak Hashem even the traffic jam doesn't compare to how long you go. That was that was the compliment. So he said actually if there's no traffic jam he's like shucks I can't finish. [laughter] Says now when there's traffic I ah I'll be able to finish the Okay. So yeah, we're holding uh page 53 in the Hebrew it's column 2. >> Oh really? >> Oh the stoning the curse. >> Interesting stuff. Okay, Zion column 2. Today's class is dedicated by Anat Braverman with blessings for Naomi Bat Aigel for a complete and speedy recovery. Beu Oeneffesh and body and soul and all of the blessings in abundance. Thank you and not very very
