What’s said in this shiur

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

Welcome to Inside ArtScroll, where the books that we read and the people that write them come to life. It's as they would, a pleasure to welcome to ArtScroll Studios Rabbi Meir Yedid. Thank you.
