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, friends. Uh, this week we're we're in Chodesh Elul, so we're reverting back, we're turning back to our seder on tfilah, gateway to tfilah. Uh, this sheer we've been doing for many, many years.
