Ha'azinu: Soaring the Heavens...in Search of the Gates of Teshuvah

What’s said in this shiur

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

>> So, uh, even though it's the last year before Rashashana, but I want to speak about this week's para and what this week's para has to do with the mitzvah, the the mitzvah that is upon us, the mitzvah of chuva. If you look at the end of safer devar, so now this time of the year, we're laning, we're reading Mishna Tyra, we're reading from safer devar.

And what's the simmon? Hates sim. The word hanates is a sim. He is five. Nun word hanates is a sim. He is five. Nun is 50 and a final sadi is 900. As we know the tough is 400. The end of is 500. The end of nun is six. Uh the end of nun is 500. The end of mem is six. The end of pay is um the end of nonun is 700. The end of pay is 800 and the end of sadi is 900. And how do you get of sadi is 900. And how do you get a,000? Well, alf which is one could also be alf which is a,000. So the uh the numbers are a repetitive cycle. So again you have the end of is 500 and the endame is 600 nun 7 pay 8 sadi 900. Now there 955. Now sometimes you come across certain numbers and you know you know what to do with them.
