What’s said in this shiur

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

He lost a lot. He lost He lost everything. He lost his son, his wife, his in-laws. He lost his health. He lost an eye. They had guns. They wore masks. They were well-prepared. They knew exactly where to go, what to do, and what they wanted. I I was terrified that my kids will come home from school and find their mother dead. That's exactly where I was at that time. I I didn't think I would make it alive for my children. 4:30, she left the house to go to take a bike ride. 4:30, 2 and 1 half hours earlier, she had come from school and she was going for a bike ride like any other day. And 7:00, we're already on the way back from the hospital and she's dead. The Vilna Gaon famously writes that there are five groups in Klal Yisroel in the Jewish nation that causes tremendous his difficulties for us throughout the ages. Some of the groups are those who speak loshon hara, those who are conceited bala gaiva. But one of the five the Vilna Goan writes are the balei machlokes, those who bring strife and fighting and arguments into Klal Yisroel into the Jewish people. And then he ends he says that the this fifth one this group the fifth group of bales are the ones that are holding back Moshiach from coming and that's why on this day of tisha bav where we mourn the beis hamikdash destruction of the temple where we pray daven and cry for the rebuilding of the beis hamikdash and the coming of moshiach. There is no better topic
