What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
believe in God or you don't, whether you believe Torah is the real deal or not. Um, everything that I'm about to say applies. Um because without getting into a whole discussion of faith in God or faith in uh in uh Torah, the Holy Bible, without getting into any of that, we can just simply realize and recognize that for the last 3,334 years since the Mount Si occurrence, years since the Mount Si occurrence, whether you believe it or not or not. But uh by the way the word mount si also is the word for the mountain of hatred. Isn't that interesting given the world events right now? So whether you believe it or not you'll notice that the Jews are in this like cycle. We're always inside this cycle. And the way the cycle works, the way it comes around is basically um you know in Judaism you're given like heap you're given heaps of free will because we don't have like idols and we because we don't have like idols and we don't have Jesus and we don't have like there's nothing to point to. And uh and also I mean don't trust me on this but Jews have pretty high IQ. And what happens with that high IQ is you start to say I never met God. I never saw God. like you can easily just dismiss God because hey I never met him I never saw him nothing I don't recall anything happening to me too out of the ordinary that I would believe in God
