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.

before we to understand what synapse is there are two words that are used for an enemy one is a sonar and if we can understand we can define the difference between the two then perhaps it will make it easier to understand what sinatra really is there are no synonyms in los angeles which means that a sauna is different from an oyeb and ayev is different from a sonar that's relatively easy to understand and oyez is somebody who hates because i have something that he doesn't have i have something that he wants his lack of what i have leads him towards hatred that's really the basis of territorial wars throughout history the other side has something the god of war will kill for it a signer is something else altogether though a signer is somebody who can't abide that you have something period it doesn't matter whether he wants it it doesn't matter whether he has it it doesn't matter whether he needs it the very fact that you have it is what causes him to hate he just doesn't want you to have it but both me mejibot one of the great hasidic rebbies used to say how pleasant the world is if you don't subjugate yourself to it and how difficult it is if you do sinner is an all-encompassing emotion that stops a person from being able to understand and to see the world clearly a sauna has no benefit if somebody is an oyed so at least through his hatred if he can take away what it is that the other person has so at least he gains something from it a soyner gains nothing all it does normally is cost the person who hates more than anybody else in return
