What’s said in this shiur

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

The Parah Adumah is the quintessential mysterious mitzvah the quintessential chok. The paradoxical nature of the Parah Adumah is something that baffled the wisest of men even thought he could understand the Parah Adumah he says I thought I was wise but the reality is it's even beyond me and uh the simple explanation was the fact the paradoxical nature of the Parah Adumah. That somebody who's mayis the being sprinkled with the ashes of the Parah Adumah renders them tahor but somebody who is tahor when they come in contact with the process of the ashes of Parah Adumah actually renders them tumah and this was something that could not really fully comprehend. And the Kli Yakar Kli Yakar on the classic commentaries on the of Ephraim Luntschitz he brings down from the safe the Baal Ha Akedah the Akedas Yitzchak that the Parah Adumah is the process of Parah Adumah is actually a remez to teshuvah the process of teshuvah. But says the Kli Yakar let's take it one step further and in that vein the Parah Adumah is actually the perfect analogy to the process of of teshuvah. Actually if you compare teshuvah to someone who's ill and trying to cure himself from his illness then the par aduma is really the perfect analogy because let's say you have a guy who's sick. They go to the doctor and the doctor gives him a bad medicine, a bitter tasting medicine. Now, for the regular regular
