What’s said in this shiur

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

all right good day so I always uh feel that uh sukis Sukkot is kind of like that uh third wheel that uh gets mostly ignored um because it comes on the heels of the high holidays Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur um so we have we're now in the month of owl the Jewish Montebello everybody's preparing for Rosh Hashanah preparing for a Yom Kippur and uh and Daniel Kipper ends and you have about four days to get ready for sokus and those four days are usually spent in the physical preparations for for circus um any spare moment that you have and either traveling or building or acquiring your oologang astrogue um but when do we actually learn about circus a little bit on circus maybe but uh but we we don't give it the the attention it deserves there's so much to talk about about circus um there are many different Commandments associated with Sukkot with circus or many different traditions um so I thought you know let's give it a few weeks we'll give it three weeks three classes and uh hopefully we'll be able to come away with some New Perspectives and new ideas about circus um I did send out a store sheet um by email if you have it great if you don't it's fine also um you can just listen and uh and learn that way so uh so it's the the main chapter that deals with the holiday
