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.

Good evening. Welcome to 30 letters in 30 days. We are up to letter number 24. Can you believe that? That means we have less than a week until we finish. Less than a week until Yalif Nissen. And uh I may have some information. People have been asking me about whether there will be a an event at the end uh like we did last year. I don't have information yet, but uh behind the scenes we're working really every letter in the egress is a gem of a letter. Some of them you have to work a little bit harder. some even if you uh just read it cursorally you already are struck by by the power of it. Uh this is one of those letters where I don't know I think if you read it too quickly you might not get the point but uh you know before I start the letter I [clears throat] just want to mention something. [snorts] Um, I was taking a walk with my wife yesterday and I was talking about the eager shear and no, she does not see every class. [laughter] She's busy raising my kids, so she doesn't always see every class. But I I said to her, you know, there was a big bombshell the other day in one of the classes, and I'm not even sure if I adequately brought it out, and it was the letter to um Duskin
