00:00 – Dedication: This shiur is dedicated l’ilui nishmas (for the elevation of the soul of) Gittel Leah bas Aaron Yosef ע”ה, whose yahrzeit is on the 27th of Tishrei (grandmother of Suri Albert and Aviva Wurtzel) and l’ilui nishmas HaRav Hershel Baruch haLevi ז”ל whose yahrzeit is on the 28th of Tishrei (the father of Ami Rosen).
00:36 – TORAH 207. Sweetening harsh judgments through speech. The reason Eliyahu HaNavi attends every bris milah.
23:26 – Torah 208. “The evil person looks to the tzaddik and wants to kill him, but Hashem will not abandon the tzaddik and allow him to fall into the hands of the evil person.” (Tehillim/Psalms 37). Controversy sometimes protects a tzaddik from harmful fame. It’s often necessary for a tzaddik to keep a low profile to prevent the forces of evil from causing him harm.

43:56 – Why, on Yom Kippur, we read sefer Yonah (Jonah).
