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 morning, friends. A good Erev Shabbos. Actually, in a way, it's like the last regular Erev Shabbos of the year. In a way. I mean, next week it's it is Erev Shabbos, but it's the last Erev Shabbos of a parsha. It's the last Erev sha parsha Shabbos of the year. Um so, we're approaching Yom Kippur. Make sure you're well equipped for the high holidays, for Yom Kippur with the uh this coming week. Upcoming [clears throat] sheer. Upcoming sheer. So, we have to um have to get up to Mar Makomos because the email is not correct. Um Smuchim Miyad. Smuchim Miyad. We're connecting parshas Nitzavim to uh the end of last week's parsha, which is Ki Savo. >> [clears throat] >> Here we go. Okay. Tell me if you could see this up on the screen. >> [clears throat] >> Okay. Regarding the smichus of parshas, a parshas Nitzavim to the end of Ki Savo. You know who addresses this question? Since we're coming up towards the end of the Torah, and we're literally almost finished the cycle. I'll tell you the truth. When we started this, wasn't sure how long this could carry, how long this would take us. Baruch Hashem, we're most of the way there. We we got pretty far. I mean uh we only have after this this week two more to go. Rashi himself is mefaresh two perushim of the smichos. Rashi says, "U'medrash Agudah l'man smichas parshas Atem Nitzavim l'klalois." Why is Nitzavim juxtaposed to the klalois? Cuz when Klal Yisrael heard 100 klalois minus two, besides the 49 in Toras Kohanim, "Hireeku paneihem." Their faces turned white. When Klal Yisrael heard about all the curses, they became pale. They became frightened.
