What’s said in this shiur

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

Without further ado, we're going to start now. We have the opportunity to have the Rav, Rav Chaim Ozer Usher Weiss with us this Shabbos. So meaningful, he came in from Eretz Yisrael special to spend Shabbos with us. At this point, we're going to start with the questions. Questions were pre-sent in. If we do have time, we'll go to the audience. The rules of engagement are a question, not a statement. So, if we do have time, we'll go around to the public. And we'll start with the first question. The first question that was posed was if the Rav could if the Rav could give us some guidance with regard to the artificial meat and artificial milk that has now become part of our uh what we have. So, good Shabbos to all of you. And before answering the question, I have the microphone, so I might as well take advantage. And uh I just I just want to say >> care of that. I just want to say a few words how much this means to me. I've been at this conference since the second conference, which Dr. Friedman says really was the first, and uh it means a lot to me. In this week's parsha, we have the mitzvah of verapo yerappeh. Heal. And Chazal teach us Zakeh livan veyo, have a domelo. How could a person emulate Hakadosh Baruch Hu? Mah Hu rachum, af ata rachum. Hakadosh Baruch Hu has mercy, you should be the same. There's another Gemara in Sota 14 a, explaining another pasuk. Acharei Hashem Elokeichem telechu. V'chi efshar laleches acharav? Halo ish ochelo Hu. Al yelech b'drachav.
