What’s said in this shiur

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

I just want to begin this year with um very interesting event which I think uh has it's an astronomical event which um basically has I think a lot of significance. And that is that Cheshvan is a special month. And um and I want to point that out why. Anyway, before I begin uh this year should be a merit for the health and success of the families of Regina bas Yosaif Reuven and Yeshaya ben Yisrael and Binyamin Wolf ben Tzvi Hirsch and Boruch ben Binyamin Wolf. Uh also it should be free for for shlema for Dovid Tzvi ben Sarah. He should have a refuah shlema. Okay. Also Rinah bas Tzal. Also Rinah bas Tzal refuah shlema. And also Rinah bas Tzal. Yes. Rinah bas Tzal uh she should also have a refuah shlema. Okay. Um so therefore uh Cheshvan is a very special month which is really very interesting and and so therefore um in fact Cheshvan really is a Messianic month which is interesting. And the first sign of that is of all the months of the year Cheshvan is the only month that has no uh Yom Kippur, no holiday of any sort whether be a regular holiday, whether be a fast day whatever. It has no day which uh you know is considered some some type of a holy day. And therefore they refer to this Mar-Cheshvan, bitter Cheshvan. um And one of the reasons for that
