What’s said in this shiur

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

And it really goes from last week's parsha ends amazingly. The story of Pinchas is the end of parshas Balak is the story of Pinchas. And then and then Pinchas begins this week's parsha.

I grew up in a city where I grew up and they called a person who was an angry person that had a past problem, they called them a kana'i. So I thought a kana'i was a very angry person.
