What’s said in this shiur

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

Okay. Okay. Um, okay. So, we we said that we're going to talk an introduction to the three weeks. Now, I realized that my whole topic is a steer to the it's a steer to itself because I I I announced that I'm going to talk about Yeshua and if I was truly being Yeshua, I wouldn't talk about the three weeks a few days before the three weeks start. So, it's but we we'll start like this. I I read a story very back from Kamitki as follows. I read it. I saw it a few different ways. It's it's a the family says it's a true story.

And the pitch that he made is that say keep shabas you know. So he would go around and he would say if you keep Shabas Mashiah's going to come and he would get through to you know people who were not very religious but still had something inside of them and he told them Mashiah's coming if you keep Shabas and he went to very proud and he told I've been going up and down the the streets to the shopkeep and I've been promising people that if they just keep chabas Msiah will come and told told him and this is an odd thing to say told him you can tell them in my name that Msiah's not coming if they keep Shabas. they should keep shabas, but Mashia's not coming if they keep shabas.
