What’s said in this shiur

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

so so strong there's a pretty sure here on the dove which as I said there's no Hillcrest so it's hard to look up how long is the place sure that almost 40 years ago I shot her a palm with uh with a shadow and naming one of my children which agreed uh is how local amazing so I'd like to share it with you I was then one of my children and I was actually naming him after a Rebbie who had passed away but the name in my schwaris mishbacher but the name in my schwaris mishbacher it happened to be a name that was uh like you know to say this name that was a popular name in the family uh so my schwera said oh good everyone will think it's named after this either oh it's great everyone think we're naming you have to so leave me a little uncomfortable and we will think like a given name everyone will think it's uh it's like it's a misleading so I don't know since then it hadn't many times where people approached me that they have to give a name and the appearance uh insist that they give a appearance uh insist that they give a name but they don't want to name after the person the other person maybe wasn't for him or the person wasn't nice or or they don't want a name after the person [Applause] so the question is can I can you set up a situation where everyone thinks your name you have to one person and you yourself are not naming after that person I tell people you have to give a name if it's a tanache name you're safe you have to give a name uh Zeta his name Maisha let's say are you my name after him so you have in mind
