What’s said in this shiur

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

Okay, good morning everyone. And hazak, I don't think you're joining us on this beautiful uh Wednesday morning, Shushan Purim. As you can hear, the Purim festivities over here in the city were uh on fire. They were rolling. They were beautiful in the synagogue, in the houses, in the streets. Baruch Hashem. We really had a an amazing uplifting Purim. And today Shushan Purim for the people in Israel, for the people in Jerusalem, in the walled cities. Bezeh Hashem, today's class should be a zechut today's class should be a zechut protection for Am Yisrael. Of course, we're safe over here, but we are thinking about our brothers and sisters out there. Not so different from Esther, who was really safe in the palace, but she prayed, she fasted, and she went in for the Jewish people. And we have an opportunity to do the same. So, Bezeh Hashem, today's class I'm learning should be a zechut for our brothers and sisters in Am Yisrael. Should protect them. Hashem should protect them from them. Hashem should protect them from any attacks, any rockets. And we should be zocheh to a full geulah. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. >> [clears throat] >> My friends, parashat Ki Tisa, we read about the Jewish people committing one of the worst sins possible, imaginable, in history. The chet ha'egel, of course, very famous in this parasha. The sin of the golden calf. How it could be that just days after
