The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Alon Anava’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
Happy to be here. What a special day. One of the most powerful days on the calendar. I hope you were taking advantage of it till now. But if not, then now you'll hear a few important words. Hopefully that will encourage you to take advantage of this day. Once you understand really the power and the significance of this day. You don't understand that it's not going to help you. But just that you know, that we chose a very very powerful day. For us, we're still in Tu B'Av. A lot of people who are watching online, they're already in Australia, Israel. That's it. No, the day is over. But that still applies. But for us, very exciting to be here in Vegas third time in a row, right? Third year in a row. Every year B'ezrat Hashem until now everything works amazing. And we're starting our tour here in Vegas. We have an amazing lecture, amazing night. I'm going to get straight to the point since we don't have much time. Before we start, uh if you don't mind putting your phones on silent. Uh if you don't mind also hold your questions. I'm not going to answer questions while I speak. We're going to do questions after the lecture. Uh towards 8:00, we're going to finish the lecture praying Mincha and Maariv. Uh so please stay with us. We're ready to pray. And after that, we will have some time maybe do some questions and answers. We can schmooze. You have here you have me here for a little bit more then I'm flying out to Denver. So please, no phones, no questions, and pay attention.
