What’s said in this shiur

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

All right, I want to say good morning, good morning. We are continuing in Sham today and Shala be talking. So remember again, we're in the middle of the discussion here regarding the benefits of having of even better, even better than the job security that one has as being an alchemist. So remember again, the outlined 10 different reasons why it is better ultimately to go ahead and have it up to number six. It's page 16 in the in the Hebrew edition. So remember again, if you're an alchemist, even if you have money, what don't you have control over? You don't have control ultimately again of health, health issues, health-related issues. All right, ultimately again, a person can get sick. Person can become ill and even if a person has plenty of money, if you're ill, you don't have the ability to enjoy what you have. Now, I want to point out beforehand, the was talking about the potential hazards that come from the actual profession of alchemy. So, he's going to say something even different over here. Even though a person follows all OSHA regulations as person follows all OSHA regulations as an alchemist, right? They're doing everything they're supposed to be doing, but again, in general in life, person can have all the money in the world and you don't have control of your health. You can have everything material, but yet you're sick. And when a person is sick, even if they have everything, they can't enjoy it. On the other hand, he says, So we'll say this is an incredibly profound point. Person has an alchemist at home, ultimately again, has safety and security from all forms of illness and difficulty.
