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 Evan Allansky with the Parsha in 5, in 5 minutes we try to give you some insight into the Parsha that will be meaningful to you. And this week is a double Parsha, we got a lot of them in Vayikra this year. Tazria Metzora, the two of them are together. I don't know if that gives me the Parsha in 10, but I'm going to keep it as Parsha in 5 anyway, yeah? We talk about tumah. We talk about yoledet. We talk about zav and zavah. We talk We talk about zav and zavah. We talk about nidah and ba'al keri. And these tumahs the different forms of of tumah. All of them involve at some point going to a mikvah. Now, I have to be fair because what we call mikvah is not really a mikvah. A mikvah is a collection of natural water. Uh usually rainwater and you tovel. Now, um there are some places where they have um there are some places where they have an actual mikvah. What does that mean? They have like a big open bore, uh pool, uh pit, whatever it is, and it gets filled with rainwater. Yeah? Um there are certain appliance stores that have a mikvah on premises, outside, and it's just gathered rainwater, and you can go out and tovel anything that you bought. And uh you know, it's available for you, uh keilim mikvah. So
