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

me Hi everyone. Shalom U'Bracha. Shabbat tov U'vorach. Thank you so much for being with us. Late notice and then there's so many things that are going on right now. But it's times like this that it's so so important that we're together. And that we give each other koach. And we give each other chizuk. And I felt it so uh could be it's just for myself. That I don't feel like just going through the night alone tonight. That my family and I want to be with everyone. Because what's been taking place and what took place over Shabbos is something that is much bigger than another date, another event, another episode. And I'm not talking at all about the US elections. Not one reference. So I just wanted to make that clear right in the beginning that when we're speaking about the turbulent times the Abashalom's running the world and and everyone is a pawn. Everyone. Every prime minister, every king, this has nothing to do with with with that. But I want to talk about what hap- what it on a certain level happens and takes place when really big grades leave us. When big leave us. And although I'm very optimistic and I'm very very excited for the future of every day. Today too, very very much so. And although I believe that we've never been closer to the world. When really big that love and that love the world take off. And especially when they take off so close in time it's very very frightening. Very frightening. Right now I'm speaking of course about one of the greatest people
