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.

know we celebrate Kaneka for 8 days but if you think about it it seems to be a little bit inaccurate because they found the oil there's enough oil to last for one day. It lasted for 8 days. Great. Do the math. If there was enough oil to last for one day and it lasted for eight days, so the miracle was seven days. Kaneka should be seven days. That's the question of the vet Ysef. Everybody knows that question, right? You've heard that question before. I have a I have a safer at home that has 100 answers to that question. It's called safer nera. Recently, and I say recently, I've had that safer for over 10 years. Recently, a couple years ago, I went to Lakewood. I bought a safer that has 500 answers to this question. Why is Kaneka 8 days? It should be 7 days. But I'm here today to tell you a totally different question. Kaneka shouldn't be 7 days. It shouldn't be 8 days. I think Kaneka should be 9 days. That's what we're going to discuss today. Why is Kaneka 8 days? It should be nine. Why it should be nine days? I ask you a simple question. in uh the of Shàuot. Yeah. How many days do you keep? How many days on Ocean Parkway? How many days of Shabuot do they have? Two days. Yeah. They keep two days. Why? Then in Israel it's only one day. So why in America do we keep two days? Why? Why? >> What is it called? Do you know what it's called? [snorts] We have a doubt. What day on the calendar falls out on? So in America we keep two days.
