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

Okay, welcome everyone. Today's a really super day for many reasons and tonight is the yard site of Katskat Katsk of course emphasized no subtuge no don't fool yourself like uh like George Bernard Shaw laabda would say when it comes to selfdeception comes to selfdeception Every man is a genius. Okay. When it comes to selfdeception, so in Katk there was no fooling yourself. So for example, the Katskar Rebba once saw aid who put his talis over his head. Now technically speaking, if you don't have a specific custom, Mishna Burings, you're you should always cover your head with a talis. happens to be in my yeshiva the Katsk Katskar one saw wearing his talis during nishmass shuckling a lot. So the katskar the katskarba said in between the the talis and your head don't worry there's room for the atahara to get in. Don't think you know the atahara got in in that little space between the talis and your head theahara got right in there. Anyway tell you some things about katk. Um, by the way, the Azer said that he once went to the sedar of the Katskar and his mouth was emitting sparks of and his mouth was emitting sparks of fire when he said the Hagada. I'm just saying. Okay. Anyway, um, let's start with this week's para. Somebody once asked the briskar. How do you save yourself and not to get uh taken in and drowned in all the the cache of the time or the attraction of the time
