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, good evening everyone. Shalom aleichem, baruch haba'im. We're continuing our shiurim on Sefer Vayikra. Actually, tonight's shiur is going to be on Megillat Ruth. The shiurim on Sefer Vayikra are dedicated by Dr. Zachim Mishpacha l'ilui nishmas Rav Eliezer ben Rav Yaakov Zachim. We thank Zachim family for dedicating the entire Sefer Vayikra. And l'ilui nishmas Rivka bas Tzvi Halevi and Rav Dov Ber ben Rav Yaakov Tzvi Hakohen. Tonight's shiur is dedicated by a good friend of mine in Eretz Yisrael anonymously. And tonight's shiur is dedicated by Mrs. Yehudit Herman, who's one of the longest standing listeners of the shiurim in honor of her father's 19th yahrtzeit, Chaf Av Iyar, Robert T. Goldberg, Reuven ben ben Victor Mayer, formerly from Indianapolis, Indiana, and currently the mishpacha is in Yerushalayim, Ir Hakodesh. There's a shamsham n'ali be'omiel shiur the whole family. Aviasaf Tzadik. Okay, tonight Oh, before we begin, public service announcement. So, you're running out of reading material on Lag BaOmer because you're done with the Lag BaOmer sefer, but make sure you have the sefer on Rabbi Meir Baal Haness in English and in Lashon Hakodesh. We have a lot of ma'amarim on Shavuos, on eating milchigs on Shavuos, on Kabbalas HaTorah, and hopefully that will keep you busy until the next season of the year. Okay, tonight we are going to study Sefer Ruth. Megillat Ruth was written by Shmuel Hanavi, the Gemara Baba Basra says. And we're going to focus on the commentary of the Ben Ish Chai, Chacham Yosef Chaim. The name of the perush on Megillat Ruth is called Em HaMelech, Mother of the King. After all, we know Ruth was Imma Shel Amacha's, was the mother of the matriarch of the Davidic Dynasty.
