What’s said in this shiur

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

Okay, good morning uh dear friends. We know uh the world's attention is turned to the war in Iran and to a little area on the south of Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, where the Iranians are now blocking the flow of oil. They're one of the biggest producers of oil. Um much of the world's oil and many goods go through that narrow strait and they put mines there. They're guarding it and the world's attention is turned to the Strait of Hormuz. Also, the Jewish world's attention is turned to the month of Nissan because in the month of Nissan, we are primed for redemption. Benissa nigalu uvenissa lasidin ligal. So, the question is is there any connection between the Strait of Hormuz and the redemption of the Jewish people or does it have any significance at all? And you could search through Sifrei Kodesh and you'll be hard-pressed to find any Jewish connection between the Strait of Hormuz and Jewish history or Jewish destiny. Actually, historians some historians say that uh the strait was named after Ifra Hormuz, the mother of Queen Shapur. Ifra Hormuz. However, a uh one of the great Maggid of Shiurim in the world today, Rabbi Baruch Rosenblum, discovered a very amazing Marah Makom that I'm going to show you right now from a commentary on Yeshayahu. The name of the commentary is Kli Paz, written about 500 years ago by Rabbi Shmuel Laniado. And he's uh explaining his explicating the pasuk in Yeshayahu perek lamed dalet pasuk vav. Cherev Lashem, the sword of God, maleh dam, full of blood. Chudashna meichelev. It's chudashna. The it's full it's full of it's a lashon of deshen. Chudashna, it's fattened with fat. Midam karim ve'eilim meichelev kilyos eilam. What happened? What is this festival? Ki zevach Lashem be'Vatzrah. There is a
