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

Good evening. This week we have parasa's vayv. Now I wanted to mention even though Kaneka is not for another few days and we will for next week's para paras um mates mates elaborate only once in 26 years is mates not the Shabas Khan etc. But all the other years it is sometimes we have two shabas the first day of Kaneka and the last day and then it's vayv and it's mikates but mikates is always sandwiched in except for that one time in 26 years. Now I wanted to say to you this month is Now I wanted to say to you this month is the month of Kisslave and it's interesting that you know there are other months that have Yamim to him but the distinguished position of Kisslave is noteworthy because the way many of the describe the month like if someone is not sad and disappointed during kisslave not sad and disappointed during kisslave so he's a lot more of the oragonos of Kaneka there's so many statements that point to the special uniqueness of the month of kislave now in and of itself is the only yumptive Now it's a durabon.

And even on pes the last six days of pes we do not say the four intermediate days of kamoid and the last we don't say a whole hal. We say only a half a like we say on Resh and even sukus that we say a whole hal and even sukus that we say a whole hal every single day but there's only seven days of sukusra is a it's not sukus it's a So we really forsook us only say seven days the whole hollow yet Kaneka
