What’s said in this shiur

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

Hi, this is Evolvski and welcome back to our third year of the parish in five where in five minutes we set out to give you insights into the para just a little short idea that you can say over at the shabas table or hopefully just for yourself to get a little extra insight parasak obviously the last two years we spoke about the marble aspect of paras noak but that's not the only disaster that takes place in paras Noah. Yeah, that takes place in paras Noah. Yeah, there are three major stories of destruction in the Torah. Stone Amora, which we haven't gotten to yet, the uh the Mabble. And the second one of this week's par, which is the Dha Floa. What's the Da Floga or as some people pronounce Dha Pala? Yeah. Everybody got together and said let's build a city and a tower and a cobra goes down to see this and he gets very upset and he this and he gets very upset and he changes everybody's language B of Bale he mixes up everybody's languages and spreads them all across the earth and that is the which split up and it spread around etc. What what exactly did they do that was so terrible? In other words, the kazal tell us that they were trying to get the entire world to serve a voter. But it doesn't say that in the parish. It didn't say they were all getting together to serve a voter. It says they were getting together to build one city
