What’s said in this shiur

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

Uh, okay. We are live. Baruch Hashem. Wow, we've done a full week of 30 letters in 30 days. Our first class was last month's Shabbos. And then out with the Shabbos again. So, we've wrapped around the full uh cycle. 7-day cycle of creation. And now we're in the the second week. Amazing. And we thank everybody for joining us. >> And uh the Rebbe asked for gifts of Torah, also gifts of tzedakah. So, tzedakah we give over here, we like to use the Colel Chabad Pushka app because we like Colel Chabad and because it's fun. Where's Where's my app? Okay, here. >> [cough] >> And [clears throat] Oh, I earned a token. You can use tokens to recover missed days. Oh, cuz there's like a gamification of it. We have to have like a streak. Oh, I earned a token cuz of my tzedakah streak, 7 days in a row. Okay. That's cool. All right, I'm going to give a little more. Somebody commented on the live chat sometime last week that the way we give tzedakah to the Kollel Chabad pushka, that's their favorite part of the whole class. Ah, it is fun, yes. Okay. >> [snorts] >> I got to get some WD-40 for that chair. It's one of those fancy expensive chairs. It was supposed to help my back. I don't know how much it did. I'm going to make a bracha baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech ha'olam shehakol nihyeh bidvaro. Mhm. Coffee. Supposed to drink hot water. New hot water on what's a Shabbos. >> [snorts] >> One of those Jewish things.
