What’s said in this shiur

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

I'd like to do something a little bit different today I I do receive a couple of emails and um we've done in the past reading out we've had a whole series Once and reading out emails and um many of the emails can teach us many things and this particular email I feel I just hit me for a few reasons number one I feel it's something that many people have this question but maybe don't have the guts to ask the sh or maybe they don't know who to ask or maybe this I don't know they don't feel they can ask I also feel that this is some that talks very much to me and to us as a yiva together because this I believe is very much what we do over here so I'd like to read out the email a disclaimer I am not going to do justice to the email I did ask permission before mentioning the email obviously I'm not going to mention any names but I asked permission I said that you know it's such a email instead of just you know giving a reply when there's a limit to how much I can type and you know write a reply I'd rather give it in I feel that the could gain I think it will be to the and to myself and hopefully to the person that wrote it I'm hoping that it will do justice to uh what she wrote so the email goes like this I got the email right before y hi I know it's ER of P I'm going to read the whole email and maybe we'll split it into two parts I know it's p and it's super busy please don't answer me until after theug just needed to get this confusion off my chest I grew up in a yeshivish community went to Bas Yakov
