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

I got to work. Welcome to another edition of 30 letters and 30 days. This is >> [snorts] >> day number 22. We are in the home stretch. We have one more week. And then our final class will be not tomorrow Sunday, but the day after a week from the I don't say this. A week from the A week from tomorrow. Yes. So like in 8 days. And that is the actual day of Yud Aleph Nissan that is birthday and that's why we are doing this. Let us not forget the main point that all of this is a birthday present that I have asked for gifts of Torah. And what better Torah can we learn than the Rebbe's letters? Of course also the Rebbe mentioned gifts of tzedakah. So we're giving tzedakah to Colel Chabad to support >> [snorts] >> the hungry in Eretz Hakodesh. A tzedakah that was founded by the Alter Rebbe, the Baal Hatanya, the first Chabad Rebbe. And we're going to give tzedakah. Why isn't it shaking? Shake. I don't know why the shaking noise isn't working. It's the most fun part of it. Okay, let me give a little bit more. Okay, now I'll try the shake. Ah. Now we got it. That's so much fun. You know, that's about as the most fun you can buy for $5. I'm saying $5 cuz I think I pushed the button five times. You could really you could just put in a dollar. Actually, I I I never tried this, but you could probably open up the Colel Chabad pushka app >> [snorts] >> and just shake it without even putting a dollar. All right. Going to crack the Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray soda.
