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

With having Hanukkah last week, we didn't get to do our class about the Chodesh, about the month. And previous month we did a class about the power of the month of Kislev. So now we're going to do a a class about the power of the month of Tevet. And Be Ezrat Hashem, every month we'll do a class about the month and what say do we have to learn from that and how do we have to take advantage of the month because advantage of the month because every Sunday we have a class about Parashat Hashavua and again and I always repeat and I say that the class is for me to take something out of it and apply it to my life. And not to just sit and listen to some nice story and and move on. The point from the Torah is any part of the Torah that I learn, anything that the Torah comes to present to me is for me to take it, to apply it to my life, to be able to to elevate my soul, to refine myself, to refine my attributes and my character to refine my attributes and my character traits and to to do something with it. And if I don't do, then I'm basically wasting wasting my time because I did not come here to the world just to sit and schmooze, I came to the world to refine my soul, to refine my body, to serve God. And the Torah Hashem gives us all the tools in order to do that. So the same way that we learn about the weekly parasha and in the Chodesh, in the month, there's also a lot of messages and a lot of things that we need to concentrate on because every month
