What’s said in this shiur

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

[Music] it's all good my lord tonight's lesson is called the divine mirror and old isaac is going to teach us how to understand the dynamics of difficulties we understand how difficulties we understand how difficulties come to us and how do then we learn how to avoid the difficulties in life and we can really stay out of trouble for example a person is coughing all the time and a person is short of breath and say my brother what's the matter so i don't know what's the matter with me okay you don't know what's the matter with him then he takes out a pack of cigarettes lights up another cigarette and he does this action uh several times an hour where he'd say how much do you smoke two packs a day and you're coughing and you can't breathe you don't understand what's happening to you this is something we spoke about and especially you see this a phenomenon that i often see with young people that want to get close to hashem want to learn a muna and then they have parents that are far away from hashem and they tell the son or the daughter to do something that is opposite of ten commandments opposite of torah law and they say you have to then they would quote the ten commandments so you have to honor your parents hold it mom and dad you have to honor hashem before you demand honor from kids you have to honor hashem emotional blackmail you're not allowed to do that okay for example
