What’s said in this shiur

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

Okay, good evening everybody. For the ladies here and for the whoever's on the phone, good evening and for the viewers at home. Uh just one second. What is going on here? Today is Rosh Chodesh, so Chodesh Tov. This is the happiest month in the in the year Rosh Chodesh Let me just mute you all of you. I'm so sorry. So good evening again everybody. And today we're going to speak about the most important thing that Hashem wants us to be is to be besimcha, to be happy all the time. And what not better night is by today Rosh Chodesh Av. My name is Rabbi Alon Anava. Av Adar. See, all the besimcha is going to be in Rosh Chodesh Adar. Ken. This is my fourth shiur today. I'm already Because we have the viewers the listeners on the phone, we're going to do it in English. Later on we're going to unmute it. Later on we're going to have questions and answers if you want. And we're going to speak for about half an hour, 45 minutes. Then you're going to continue with the challah, then I'll come back and if whatever you want any questions, you can feel free to ask. We can stay here for as much as you can. Finish the challah, then we're going to eat it bezrat Hashem. So again, my name is Alon Anava, Rabbi Alon Anava and tonight I'm just going to speak in a very short way about the whole concept how important it is for us to be besimcha. It says, K'shenichnas Adar, marbim besimcha. Which means that when a chodesh of Adar comes, starts, we have to increase happiness. What kind of a weird thing is that? Why should I increase happiness all year round? Why דווקא now?
