What’s said in this shiur

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

So, Baruch Hashem, uh as you see on this table, uh I'm a I'm a baal simcha. And, uh every time a new sefer comes out, it is an occasion, an opportunity to express my profound hoda'ah to Hakadosh Baruch Hu. I stopped counting how many seforim I produced. I think it's somewhere between 35 and 40 volumes. And, I say a new sefer is like a new child in the family. Pri ruchenu yotzei chalutzainu. And, just as a person lives on in his children, Yaakov Avinu lo meis. V'chi b'chdi chantochanaya, chib'di sabdu sabdenaya. The Gemara at the beginning of Taanis, Kol hamaniach ben k'moiso ma'aleh olav k'ilu lo meis. And, the Meshu explains we live on in our children. We live on in the Torah that we leave even this world. Anso seisa d'var avoice. I don't know anyone that has 40 children. But, I assume if you have 40 children, you're a bit tired. I assume I could I could just imagine. >> [clears throat] >> But, you don't get tired even if you wrote 40 seforim. And, every sefer number 40 is the same simcha as number one. So, ilu pinu malei shirah k'yam, v'lishoneinu rinah kamongal ein onnu maspikim l'hoidos. And, I thank Hakadosh Baruch Hu. And, especially Shaarei Teshuvah, is a huge responsibility. So, everybody learns Mesillas Yesharim,
