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

okay um welcome everybody thank you so much for joining us uh it's very beautiful afternoon thank you so much to linda and aiki for opening up uh their home as always uh today's class leilunismati shayab and laura and leila so tonight and tomorrow we're going to be celebrating an interesting holiday holiday that we all know by name but probably but probably that many of us uh not 100 sure really what it is that we're celebrating on this day lag the 33rd day of the almond begins tonight and tomorrow it's a very festive day right so the reason why so okay very good good question actually okay he definitely answered this question so the answer the answer is is that have a slightly different language that they use when they count the all men i don't know how many women count the almond or look at the almond cards or read it but when count for example today is the 32nd day of the omen we say that's how we count it so we refer we do the counting as la mer ashkenazim the counting as la mer ashkenazim however used the term so therefore it colloquially became for the ashkenazim and because many of us had ashkenazi teachers when we were in school and that's kind of the way we heard it it just became commonplace based on the way we count it it's more appropriate to pronounce so i guess uh based on what my rabbis used to do and what i used to hear i got uh i got into the habit of saying oh maybe even though a lot of people say
