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.

Uh last night's letter was also same date. The Reb wrote both those letters on the same date. Um and it starts with which means that the Reb is writing to a woman. Okay, let's see. Oh, somebody wrote in the chat, I already ordered it. That's fantastic. You ordered the booklet. That's great. Um, maybe you want to do me a favor and uh put the link that you use to order it. You want to put that in the chat so other people can see it. That'd be cool. And we'll also put it on the WhatsApp. Uh there is a there's a WhatsApp chat for people who are following these classes and uh maybe I'll put it in the YouTube description as well. Okay. base ear in answer to your letter from base ear. It's interesting remember last night's letter the said the same thing in answer to your letter from base ear and then the added. So over here the doesn't add I guess it depends who the is speaking to whether or not he makes that reference. I just I don't know what it means. I just noticed that here the doesn't make that addition. Okay. In your letter you write about thoughts I saw that sometimes disturb you. They started many years ago and you ask my opinion about this. Okay. So we're talking about a real issue that many people face. In fact, I think it would be more accurate to say everybody faces. And the problem is some people don't realize that everybody faces this. And that is what we call intrusive thoughts.
