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

[Music] we are in the Polish uh twinjas and again we're still in the same order that in Israel were in pin Haas in America in the outside of Israel it's still in power shot Barak and even open house the parasha is associated with the heroic act of pin class that he got a name Parrish are named after him what's interestingly is the heroic act was last week in Barak at the end but nevertheless we associate the hope of Asha with pin class but the parasha itself has many other details in it and most people they tend to ignore the details in the Persia and this week's Parrish is holding something very very powerful and before I go and elaborate on what I want to talk about there's something that occupies our mind as humans in many different times and that is called in many different ways in Hebrew is called the next chapter I don't know if they say it in English in Hebrew they would you would say the next chapter what's the next stage in my life now what is the next stage in my life sometimes you get fired pass with Shalom you need a new job you relocating from this city to that city some people unfortunately they get divorced and they go into another chapter in their life to a new marriage and there are many different next chapters in my life you don't go the whole life on the same chapter and sometimes the next chapter means that their one before that was devastating a death or something bad but sometimes people go through Hospital Omar car accident lost of business whatever it is and then you start the next chapter I don't know if it's really works the same term in English in Hebrew
