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

So in the mid 90s I was now um a volunteer security officer and I had the opportunity to either walk him, drive him, spend time with him minutes, hours perhaps in a week and those interactions were fascinating. Some of those events by the way and some of those years were very tense and I was young. I didn't understand fully what was happening at the time but there was there were definitely stressful moments and he didn't hide his stress from me. And then there were times where we might sit in a VIP area that was cordoned [music] off VIP area that was cordoned [music] off perhaps at the airport and waiting for him to be the last to board a plane or the first to go through somewhere. And I had [music] to make sure I always had good questions lined up. >> She said to me, "Look, in future publications, [music] can you take a look at them as well just to cast an eye over them? You're not there to check the grammar, although frequently I did." And from then on all the way through not only through the rest of his chief raven and even when he left the chief ravenet and I think in 2013 I carried on doing that um till he 2013 I carried on doing that um till he passed away tragically so early. Well, I think I mean I think I think he'd want us to be very proud of our Yiddish Knight and [music] not shy away from it at all. Shalom and welcome to Shark Tank.
