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

So, how do we start this? >> We start by saying there's a picture of Jerome with a yurtzside candle behind me because you reminded me and I knew uh that today was his earth side. He passed away as a very young person who never really lived as we know life to be it on this earth. And uh you heard the story years ago and you went to the to the cemetery and you you went to the to the cemetery and you uh you cleaned up the grave and you lit a candle for my silent brother. >> Can I share your reaction to the video? What you told me? >> Whatever you need to do, I'm here for that. >> All right. So, I I showed you the video that we took of visiting Jerome's grave, and your response was, "I I I don't know if this is verbatim, but something to the effect of, I fear that I'm not living up to >> Oh, >> yeah. Oh, after you sent me the video of you going to the to the cemetery where you going to the to the cemetery where my father and mother may rest in peace and my brother and I looked at my brother's grave, I started to shudder and I said, "Maybe I don't think I've lived up to his name because I once said that I live for two people, for him and I." He died without ever really seeing or hearing. He didn't live. He was disabled. and they sent them to a home. It was a horror show. And uh uh I always felt that, you know, God saved me.
