IRAN ATTACKS JERUSALEM?! HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT?

What’s said in this shiur

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

Iran sent a missile toward Eretz Yisrael, toward Israel. It fragmented. Part of it hit an area in the Old City of Jerusalem, 300 to 400 m away from Kaisel Hamaravi, away from the Har Habayis. We need to take this very personally. We do take this very personally. Yerushalayim is a living entity. It's not just a location, not just a center of the universe for the Jewish people. It's a living spiritual entity. Yerushalayim has feelings. When Klal Yisrael is in Yerushalayim, Yerushalayim rejoices. Misameach Tzion bevoneha. Amazingly, in 1836, an earthquake struck the northern region of Eretz Yisrael, Tzfas, Teveria, Shchem. And it killed thousands, including talmidei chachamim. And the Chasam Sofer discussed this in a eulogy he gave in 1836. It's printed in Torahs Moshe at the end of parshas Emor.
