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.

and uh really he tried to explain a little bit tonight already uh tonight already we're uh under the influence not of the yayan yet but of tinus esther ready this is the calendar date of times esther and the question is what exactly is tinus esther and i've conducted polls i've done polls and he asked most people what is tinuses or most people think it's to commemorate the fact that esther fasted and really it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that esther fasted esther fasted uh pesach time so tennis esther has nothing to do with esther's fast what is kindness so the simple meaning of tiny esther the mission bureau brings down is that we were supposed to be eradicated on the hash made lara guliyabiran yid gamaladar and the gezero was turned over and we were able to attack our enemies and we have a tradition and we have a minha then whenever we go to war we fast so that means that in the times that kaiser went to kill out a molecule they fasted now we don't know that they fasted we have no evidence we it's not in the megillah it's not in the gemara we have no meadows that says that they fasted in times of of esther but we're just assuming they did because that's minoguistral and to commemorate the tightness that we're assuming they fasted we also fast which is very difficult we don't know they passed them i'm sure they did but we went to many wars throughout history and we fasted many times and we don't commemorate any of those tane sim why do we specifically commemorate tinus the tightness of yud gimladar
