What’s said in this shiur

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

today we're going to talk about the messianic era the in judaism messianism the whole thing about messiah and stuff like that is not a it's not about the actual character the guy who's going to be the messiah we don't care that much about that our concern is for the welfare and goodness of the planet deep down every human being certainly deep down every human being certainly every jew in this room but perhaps every human being in the world and i'm starting to doubt that but uh has a feeling inside like things should be better things things should should be in could be better and we all have we all have the sense that that a greater world is out there and waiting for us we all sense that and the question is how do we achieve it and the answer is we can't achieve it and the answer is we can't really we can you can make your family better you can train your kids to be more giving uh more caring you yourself can handle your own behavior you can try to get a community to be more giving but but you gotta plant it with billions of people in it how are you supposed to flip the planet over to benevolence and away from greed and it really boils down to giving and taking like the whole planet comes down to giving and taking meaning god set up this video game
