What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in The Parsha In My Life - Rabbi Reuven Wolf’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Happy Kaneka everyone. Let this be a really happy Kaneka. Although the beginning did not get us started off in such a happy note. And that's where I want to address today's class. Um I wouldn't even call it a class. just talk um call it more or less thinking loud. Um, every single Jewish man and woman in the planet um was having a little bit of a a little a pretty difficult Kaneka this year because uh the Kaneka got off to a uh a challenging beginning with this horrible tragedy that happened in Bandai Beach. and Australia being the first place that that uh where where time begins, the new day starts. Um no one even had a shot at Kaneka before before this horrific tra tragedy unfolded. And as a result of that we had to we all had to get into Kaneka overpowering the darkness of a difficult moment. So naturally um the entire Kaneka is filled with these thoughts and we have to think our way into light from darkness. So I would like to think loudly of my thoughts with myself struggling to think to think it into light into into a happy positive state of mind because naturally uh there is a lot to be sad about. uh 15 beautiful human beings. Um uh I don't know if all were Jewish. Uh most of them were Jewish. So for for as part of our people as Jews, we ache and we pain the pain of every innocent human being lost. It hits deeper and harder when it's when it's uh one of our own people, especially since we're dealing with our people that have been uh so continuously persecuted. So, uh and our hearts did not heal yet
