What’s said in this shiur

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

Good evening everyone. It is uh an incredible zus to be able to be here with all of you. I feel a little I feel a little I feel less I feel not as bad. Last time I was supposed to be with you in Florida. All right. So I felt bad missing out on Florida. So here at least we're all on Zoom. See you. So it's it's an incredible privilege to be able to share with you some insights to prepare for the upcoming laurim. So to kind of just frame a little bit what I'd like to try to accomplish in the few I'd like to try to accomplish in the few minutes we have this evening. I want to start with the Rambam and the Rambam in the law of Migillos says something absolutely amazing and when you first hear about it when you first hear it it's actually a little bit startling. So the Rambam says as follows says in the messianic era Msiah comes most of the books of Nakim and the prophets the scriptures we're not really going to learn them anymore. they're kind of going to be relegated to a secondary level of importance. Now, just secondary level of importance. Now, just so you understand why that is on a basic level, that's because most of the of really focus on prophecies regarding the messianic era, how to prepare ourselves for the messianic era and the fallout from the destruction of the first Bikdash and the second Bikdash temples. And so therefore again when Mashiach comes a lot of the relevance of and the prophets scriptures will kind of be set aside but says there is one incredible exception to this and that's migillas
