Thanksgiving, Turkey, Corona, & the Jews - Zoom Lecture with Palm Beach Community

What’s said in this shiur

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

Thank you so so much to my dear colleague and friend Rabbi Moshi Shiner. Just give me a thumbs up that you could see me and hear me. Okay, perfect. Indeed, every visit to the Palm Beach community, to the Palm Beach Orthodox Synagogue, was always moving, inspiring, and always touched me deeply to be able to see the work that Rabbi and Rabbitson Shiner did over the last few decades in Palm Beach really turning that remote location in terms of Yiddishkite remote into a thriving Jewish center with Jewish pride and scholarship and growth and unity and camaraderie is really extremely inspiring. And I am honored to be here with you with the Palm Beach community with the Palm Beach Orthodox Synagogue under the dedicated leadership of Rabbi Moishi Shiner and Rebbitson Shiner. And uh I hope very soon we'll be able to uh see each other face to face, not only on Zoom, but really thank you so much for this privilege. And thank you to everyone who's participating from the entire Palm Beach community and anybody who's tuning in from wherever you are uh around the world. Thank you very much. I want to address as the rabbi said, talk about Thanksgiving, the holiday of today, tomorrow, Thursday and the Jewish people and Corona. Now, some wonder what's Thanksgiving on the poster, the flyer, it said Thanksgiving and the Jews. What do the Jews have with the Puritans who arrived on the Mayflower in 1620?
