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

Okay, we are live and welcome to this is very very exciting. Welcome to a new year of 30 letters in 30 days. I was just taking a look at our first class, the first 30 letters in 30 days, which was March 13, 2022. Um, that's the [clears throat] date that was on the YouTube video, March 13th, was on the YouTube video, March 13th, 2022. And, uh, I think this is our fourth year doing it. We missed a year because it was very hard for me. And Barashem, a dear friend who really was the impetus be behind the first time, um, help stepped up to help me. So I want to just acknowledge Rabbi Ley Shamv from West Bloomfield and his wife Bosi who have been instrumental in so many of my projects but specifically in 30 letters in 30 days. I also want to letters in 30 days. I also want to mention the rest of the team without whom there's absolutely no way that we could do this. So uh I want to thank Ley Cats. It's Ley Ben Schmolatz who is coordinating this year and our incredible translation team Rabbi Zman Bendit Pinson uh Rab Pinson and um thank you to each one of you and the like the Reb says so many times in the um for those who have not seen this class before or maybe even if you were with us in previous years but you need a refresher. I just want to explain what's happening here. 30 days before Alfa's birthday, we started this thing of learning a letter every single night. We'll be going live 10 p.m. Eastern time. I think there's a clock change coming up next week, but it'll always just be 10 p.m. on the clock Eastern time.
