What’s said in this shiur

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

And this is para is unique in two ways. Number one, there are three paras in the Torah that have the most pure mitzvah in them. One of them is parasishim in the book of one of them is paras kidoshim in the book of a yikra. And the third one is par is kit. I don't remember which is number one. It might be this para as far as just the number of mitzvah in the Torah. I have to check that. I was looking for a safer because he tells you exactly how many mitzvah are in each exactly how many mitzvah are in each part. So I couldn't find it. Number one. Number two, we start off over here with um um three very bizarre mitzvah. Very actually very bizarre mitzvah. That means that again, as we always say, you have to we have to bend our our minds to the Torah, not bend the Torah to our minds. And then when you hear the mitzvah, the mitzvah sound a little little peculiar. So let's take a look. Say I'm going to read a few here. Yeah. First we're going to read a few then First we're going to read a few then we'll go back and analyze it. When you wait go out to war against your enemies and Hashem delivers them into your hands and you take a captive take captive in the war and among the captives you see a good-looking woman and you desire her and you'll take her as a woman as a wife. How do you get to marry her?
