What’s said in this shiur

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

All right, here we are. So, I wanted to talk about elacrity. >> The Hebrew word zeresus. Jerzus is probably a better word than elacrity. It's like one of those art school words where you need a definition for the definition. Not that elacrity is an art school word, but it's like the type that they would use, you know, besides juxtaposed. Juapose. I feel like art school made up. No, they probably did. It's not a real word in the English dictionary. No, I'm word in the English dictionary. No, I'm kidding. It is. Um, so Zizo's elacrity, there's a couple different angles. We'll tie it into the para, of course, and also to spir. So people often view zizos as like to do things quick, which there's a certain element of truth to do things quick, but obviously we know that's not like, you know, if you're putting out filling, you're doing it quick. We wouldn't call that zosos. Zus in the realm of quickness would be if a person wakes up he instead of hitting this snooze he he instead of hitting this snooze he flings the alarm clock runs to shaw and puts on his fill and bakas that we would callus. Sous is more like the mitzvah right a mitzvah that comes to your hand say don't let it become and so becomes like the ultimate example of the k of mitzvos why is it pes and it's specifically because by pes mit in the exodus in the year 2448 when hashem took us out he didn't just take us out bakas
