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

According to minashkinaz there are 45 kinists that we say as part of the regular liturgy. Many of the kinists are very difficult to understand. Many of the wording many of the phrasiology is difficult to understand. The tour says in simkas that the whole congregation needs to understand the recit recitation of the kinus men women. And so for the sake of greater understanding to enhance our tishabove kinas, we're going to be selecting specific kinas to say to focus on paying attention to the historical background and some of the key phrases. But you should know that even if you don't understand the meaning of each word, every word of kinus is charged with tremendous kaduca. Perhaps the most well-known of all the pitanim rail was the author of the kinos. He's universally accepted as the father of the kinus. He wrote the first 15 kin that we say on tishab the it brings down that he heard from his father who heard from his teachers that when rebel khalier would compose certain putim he was enveloped with a heavenly fire and the heavenly angels. Amazingly revelar when he wanted to compose one of his pim he would say various she would ascend to the heaven and the malik would teach a how to formulate the who exactly identifies as none other than rebelzar the son of the Rajbi. However, the Rajba and Shoubas Rajba, he identifies Rebelar as Rebelar Benzar who very interestingly if you look in the Garage, he forgot all his learning. But ultimately the Marsha says that he was restored to a level where he understood and he was able to teach Zakai himself about the Mava. So is the paragon of Hashem and therefore perhaps he's a worthy composer of the kinos. We begin by the most important ka that we say on
