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.

and um therefore and it behooves us who are created in the image of hashem and hashem is manifest through these spheroids to specifically emulate midas which the first aspect of it is that the middah of anivos which is very much dependent on kassar as the kassar is always turned downward in humility so the position of the head should also figuratively be tilted down in humility nobody should so to speak feel elevated above anybody else but should be focused primarily on doing to others the second aspect was of course one should emulate the makshava of kesar which is before any din which is in a realm where the torah exists which is focused totally on rakhamim and torah one should not allow their mind to divert from that the third is the forehead the forehead should be a forehead not of din but a forehead of goodwill that one should look to appease everyone so if somebody is angry one should speak to them softly and demonstrate the rat sign to emulate the forehead so to speak of the meat of kesar and then the final two mi dice that we've discussed so far are the ears and the eyes which are also similarly one's ears should always be inclined to hear that which is good you know i was thinking in a way the news appeals to the corruption of the ears because what does news report
