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

i'd like to be able to start i already made the charcoal but nonetheless we could use some great syath ishmael tonight i want to be able to hit on a very powerful idea something that we've touched upon in the past but not to this extent and borderline should give the right words we could be to re-understand a certain purpose that the entire world was built on it's a fantastic idea did you ever think for a moment what was the brilliance behind the yaakov and in itself to come out from rifka emeno as twins many times you have families blessed with many children and within the mix of children one can be a tsadik and another one could be uh not as great of a tsadic and yet when it came time for yaakov and assaf to come into this world they came in literally as a concept of twins as if they were two halves of a certain whole what is the sound behind this why would borehole want someone as great as yaakov avinu to come into the world with someone as decrepit as a self rabbit we all know that when it came time for the bihora we know from this week's parasha issav comes from the sadher he's ayf he saw aye f says rasheed says hazal that he just committed all three cardinal sins that he went and he had a kill for the jacket and he comes back from the sade and he's if and he turns to yakova vino and yakov tells him i want to be able to buy the bike that i'm making and i'm hungry as i was demanding food says you want food you want me to give you food
