What’s said in this shiur

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

Alrighty. Baruch Hashem, we are at the Thursday night calling show. Somebody texted me earlier today and he said, "Please, please do not sing the calling show theme song because when you do it, it gets stuck in my head all week long and I can't it's like this earworm. I can't get rid of it." And I told him, "I'm so sorry. I cannot concede to that request because we must sing the calling show theme song and it goes a little something like this. Call in to the call in show. Call in to the call in show. All right. Welcome to the calling show. Um, got a lot of fun and surprises in store for you tonight. Before we uh take our first caller, I just want to talk about the fact that this Shabbos is Chof Chesvan. The 28th day of the third month of the Hebrew calendar. And it is extremely important historically as well as metaphysically in that it is the date of the arrival of the Rebbe and the Rebbetzin to America in 1941. And it doesn't just celebrate their safe arrival after fleeing war-torn Europe, but more importantly the Rebbe explained to us that the focus was the repositioning the strategic repositioning of the epicenter of Jewish activity from the higher hemisphere to the lowest lower hemisphere. We think of, you know, North Pole, South Pole, that's sort of, you know, arbitrary convention. Um, Jewishly we think of Eretz Yisrael, the Holy Land being the top. That's why it's called Aliyah, ascent or elevation.
