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

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending another Wednesday night class in 1400 Lebanon Avenue at the corner of East 9th. This Shabbat we have a triple header. We have Parashat Pekudei and we have also the last of the series number four This Parashah is usually read before will be next Wednesday night Thursday. So the Parashah that we read before Nissan is the and we will explain tonight about and why exactly do we read it before Nissan. The says that obviously it's the spring time if you've noticed that the weather has gotten better. But Hashem even though they said tomorrow is going to snow, I'm not sure, right? We don't retire our jackets yet and our coats and our gloves and scarves not yet. But the spring is in the air as they say. So the says this month is called Abib. Abib in Hebrew means spring. He says why is it called Abib? Abib aleph bet yod bet makes two words ab yod bet. The father of the 12 months. Even though I Israel, the Jewish nation, our religion, we start our new year in that's however we start counting the months from Nissan. So Nissan in order to count the months, Nissan is number one. Abib ab yod bet. And he says whatever you do in Nissan determines how your entire year of counting the months will look like. That's why there's a great in Nissan. The actually says there's a one was the world created. One Rabbi says the world was created in Tishrei, and one rabbi says the world was created in Nissan. The Gemara ends off by saying, "Elu ve elu divrei Elohim chayim." They're both right. How can they both be right?
