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

Wednesday, Thursday. Wednesday, Thursday. Right? So, what month is coming up? Who knows? What month is coming up? Tammuz. Good, Ari Leib. Excellent. So, um So, I want to tell you a few things about Chodesh Tammuz.
