The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Ricky Cohen’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
okay all right so we have um i wanted to go through a few halakhah but based on certain torah concepts so we get to understand the concept and to take away so we we believe as follows we believe that the uh the assyrian greeks were attempting to remove the three core values of judaism values of judaism torah torah learning prayer anything related to prayer and and caring for others now rabbi said that the underpinning of all they were trying to do was to uproot the three core tenants of judaism and to really obviate judaism to do what's really happening in a lot of the world today where there's nothing distinct about a particular religion everyone is looking for a universal perspective and to remove any specialness uniqueness and to remove any specialness uniqueness particular behavior of the jewish people the um when the makkah beam won they did an interesting thing it had been many years where the children were not learning torah so what did they do they offered them money to come back to school they literally offered the children money to come back to school money and treats and toys and whatever it might have been from that from that was highlighted a very interesting perspective in judaism and that perspective is anybody know what that means so i want to explain the words hi carol how are you hi joy thank you for joining so mitochondria means mitochondria means that from a perspective of not sincere intention a person will build sincere intention from the perspective of insincerity not in a negative way just simply they're not really these kids didn't really want to learn torah when the maccabees gave them money to go back to the battement after they defeated the assyrian greeks
