What’s said in this shiur

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

Are you [Music] [Applause] [Music] good? >> Today may feel like Friday. Probably doesn't feel like Friday. The crazy schedule we've been on. But it's not Friday. In fact, it is shabas. And there are those who yet again coming off of y. We barely had any breathing any week any. And right away it's shabas. It's shabas. And there's nothing greater. There's nothing better. Because if you see shabas as the para hashem blessed the seventh day, who would want more blessing? Would you ever say I have enough money, enough hold back? No. You'd say more and more and more. So more y more shabas. More yant more shabas. It's so great to have another Shabbah Shabas, the Maka, the source of all. And so we here to turn week's parad. The Torah was written by Abraham Sabah who lived 1440 to 1508. lived in Castile and he was chased the expulsion from Spain and he fled and he found refuge in Portugal until he was chased out of Portugal and spent so much life he fled to Lisbon and he was constantly on the run finally to Morocco. What a difficult life. So we can appreciate when a person is spending their whole life on the run. Where do you find the ultimate refuge and serenity? You find peace in the hila in the holy shabas. So this week's para this week's para by the way this shabas is not only known by the para next week will be shabas paras but this week is shabas not shabas paras it's shabas borious and the commentaries explain why because after the long yontiff season filled with promises and pledges and ups and downs and filled with disruption to our routine we're back we're ready this is it this is our first real shabas this says shabas bracious. It's new
