What’s said in this shiur

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

When you're really depressed and you're really traumatized, you can't really help yourself. So that's problem. But if I'm not yet at the bottom, I catch myself. So I tell myself the following story. It's October 7th. It's 12:00. It's 1:00. You're Nasala. You're sitting in Beirut. You're scrolling through WET. You're going, "I'm having the best day of my life. You know what? Any minute now, I'm going to get my soldiers to join the frey. We're going to just wipe out the entire state. We got this." And then Ysef charges those gigs and all of a sudden there's a momentum shift and like I spoke to a father. We're here at Afakeim. It's hard not to think about do you know Elazari? So Alazari the boy went to fight terrorists with two rocks in his hands and he was killed. And I spoke to his father and he said his father told me that the army played a recording that the kamas had. They had done a phone call the terrorist and the ones in had called their friend in Aza and said don't come to because there's a strong resistance. Our boys did that. They shifted the entire momentum. They stopped the invasion. And then we took out Nasella and his whole command center. Boom. The beepers went off. And then Assad fell. And then we took out Kamini. And I look at that story. And I go, "My little boy, he charged that fence. Look what he did." And I see Rabaka's vision of the world changing. [music] Shalam alalayikum and welcome to Stark Tank.

We just finished Roshashana, the day called Yomikaron, where we ask Hashem to remember.
