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.

hundreds of thousands of yidden all over the world. So from our humble quarters we're uh sharing with South Africa, Australia, London. If anybody wants to be we're going to speak about this and most specifically we're going to talk about is the most misunderstood yam on our calendar. We all know that during this time of the year, Rabaka had 24,000 students. And when you hear the number 24,000, so you should be alerted. Where else do we find 24,000 in Tanakh? We we we do encounter the number 24,000 in Tanakh. And that is when Bum advised Balak to get the Jewish people to stumble in Yayos. There was a plague in Kali Israel. And how many Jews died in the plague? 24,000. Halo Daru. Is it a coincidence that in the times of Bum and Balak? Balak came from what nation? Balak was the king of Moyav. And of course, who came from Moyav? David. And who's born on Shabuis? David. So is that just coincidental? 24,000 Jews died because of Moyav and then later 24,000 students of Rika died and after all of this death we have the when it's all over is that is there anything uh to that but we have this mysterious dayb what exactly happened on we know during this time of the year we don't shave we don't take haircuts there are no weddings during this time of the year and all of a sudden Yeah, Lagimer. You're allowed to What happened on Lagr? What's the big yumpt of Lagimer? Did something really happy? Is there any cause for celebration? So, the Torah brings down if you have a sheet number one on your sheet that the students of Rabi Aka stop dying
