What’s said in this shiur

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

So you want to make sure that it's daf yud ches, parshas sav Shmini. On top it should say sav Shmini parshas Shmini. Livyosan zeh atzar to lasachek bo. This ma'amar, this discourse of the Baal HaTanya was said in the year tav kuf ayin alef, which would be equivalent to 1811, which means very close toward the end of his life. As his passing was tav kuf ayin gimmel, two years later, this was tav kuf ayin alef, 1811. tav kuf ayin alef, 1811. The ma'amar begins with a pasuk from Tehillim, chapter 104, Tehillim kuf dalet, known as Borchi Nafshi, which we say in Rosh Chodesh. The connection to Shmini will be obvious. And it begins with the pasuk Livyosan zeh atzar to lasachek bo. Dovid HaMelech says, you have created the Leviathan, the famous titanic huge fish, whale, the Livyosan, titanic huge fish, whale, the Livyosan, you created it lasachek bo, to toy with it, to laugh with it, to play with it, to kvell with it. Eisav HaMedrash Rabbah parshas Shmini parsha yud gimmel. The Medrash Rabbah on parshas Shmini, this week's parsha, parsha yud gimmel, section 13, the Medrash Rabbah says the following, and he begins to quote from the Medrash. The Behemoths which means the large mammals uh the large oxen or other mammals and the Leviathan, the fish, the whale are the Keniggin. Keniggin means the circus or the gladiator. Keniggin was the term used, it's probably I think a Greek term or a foreign language, which was the term that was used for the large spectacles
