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

Hi, this is David Alowski. Welcome to the special Rabbi Alowski show and a bridged version with different ideas to get us ready for this holiday season. And we're in the middle of the muva, the 10 days of repentance. What are the machuva? You know there's a that you're supposed to take on something during the mua that's a little more than you normally do. You're supposed to extend yourself a little bit. It's very interesting. You find a source for this and say for Danil because when Danil and his friends were chosen by Nebu Khadets to live in the palace and become his advisors. They said we're only going to eat vegetables and seeds things that we know for sure are going to be kosher. And he said absolutely not. You have to eat bread growing boys. You have to have meat to have the strength. And Danielle said, "Test us for 10 days and see how we do." And after 10 days of eating only vegetables and seeds, they were just as strong as everybody else who had been having bread and meat. There were those who suggest that that's why what the they bring down you're supposed to do is not eat aum because you see that Daniel and his friends during these 10 days stayed away from non non-Jewish bread not non-coosher bread non-Jewish bread so we take these 10 days it's a test what are the 10 days there's two days rash and one day yam kiper and that leaves seven days including of course a shabas shabasha which is inside of it. This is one week and a week is a unit of time until itself.
