What’s said in this shiur

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

Good morning. Uh welcome everyone again to class number three. Uh or maybe number two after the introduction. Okay. So maybe very quickly we'll um review just from last class. Uh so those that maybe are just joining uh this is we're learning about first we discussed the importance and the reason why it's important to try our best to um pronounce the words of Torah prop properly. I mean besides the fact that every mitzvah like we said we have to try our best to do it the right way but um we described how the words of the letters of the Torah are all either we call them vessels or um what's the best word for like pathways um pipes you want to call to bring down the braha of Hashem. So right that's what we're essentially doing when we pray when we learn. So the more accurate and the more we try to say the the the words properly and of course like we always say a combination of trying to say the words and letters properly um and also to have kavana to when we say the words um to try to know what we're saying. So that will help to bring down Hashem's shea uh more and more. Uh of course besides for all these um there are many other things that help to the to get accepted. Obviously the more uh pure holy the person is which means that the less aot the less sins he has especially the less sins he has with his mouth the more clean his mouth is the more he's careful to only speak uh words of to meaning to not say um to not say words of etc. So that will obviously help the get to get more accepted.
