What’s said in this shiur

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

talmid of Shem Mishmuel writes that he dedicated himself to pray b'li neder for those who study this safer and say over their divrei Torah to others.
