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.

Oh, [singing] God. Jesus. Amen. This may >> [chanting] >> Say imagine Sh. I dish I Imming. I In Christy in the You shall sing. [singing] I am [singing] single. [singing] I want to thank ever my friends were sitting on the floor again. Here we are since last tishab a year ago. So much loss, so much pain, so many tears. We know the source of all of this is nothing new. New eulogies, new names, the stories may change, but the root the root goes back to the same that brought us here. As we sit on the ground tonight, you have to remember that since last tishabove, nearly 200 Israeli soldiers, our brothers and sisters in Israel have fallen defending the Jewish people in the state of Israel. So many others have been wounded country. The scars are visible and invisible. We struggle with PTSD diagnosed and undiagnosed. undiagnosed. So many who came home came home maybe intact would every day face lives that feel like hurban. Since last tish above millions of our brothers and sisters in Israel have run in and out of bomb shelters fleeing and evading ballistic missiles from those who seek our destruction. I don't have to elaborate how anti-semitism is on the rise. Jews are attacked verbally and physically in public places with no shame. Just yesterday, one of the most Just yesterday, one of the most prominent cities on planet earth, its mayor, so brazenly so brazenly spreading falsehoods and blood liables about our people and about our homeland. And beyond all these national tragedies, so many personal tragedies. So many who are here, families who have lost parents and spouses
