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.

Kabbalistic explanation of the Yemai Sefira, but nevertheless, it's a statement which has uh taken on a life of its own. And the Ramban says uh he compares the Yom Tov of Pesach, the seven days of Pesach, to the Yom Tov of Sukkot. And the Ramban says the following. Just like the Yom Tov of Sukkot, it has Yom Tov, it has days of uh Issur Melacha. In between you have Yemai Chol HaMoed following followed by what is called Shmini Atzeret.

And you have holiness after them. "Ki kulam kedoshim." They are all holy. God is in between them. You count 49 days like the days of the world. We sanctify the eighth day. In other words, we sanctify the Shavuot like the eighth day of Sukkot. In time and the days that are counted in between them They're like Chol HaMoed. They're like the eighth day of Sukkot. That the day of Shavuot is analogous to Shemini Atzeret and the days in between are like Chol HaMoed. So we would like to explain the meaning of this that the
