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

and it is Nissf Niss. We're going into the day of Yudal Niss and we are at the penultimate letter. I like to say penultimate because how often do you have a chance to use that word? Letter number 29. And I am still in beautiful, enchanting Mexico City, which you can see outside in the background. By the way, did you know Mexico City is at a very high know Mexico City is at a very high altitude? I didn't until I got here and I said, "Why do I feel woozier than when I'm in Boulder, Colorado?" And then I looked it up. It's like much much higher even than the Rocky Mountains. So, I'm getting that uh natural altitude sickness or Rocky Mountain High or however you want to, but not 100% right now. All right, letter number 29. Wow. Can you imagine that? We're already at Kayo. We started, you remember when we started 29 days ago with a letter from Roshash. Remember the letter to Nish Benabad and uh now we're already almost back full circle to Roshashana again. We're at which of course is the birthday of the BMT and the Alter. Greetings and blessings. After a very long interval, I received your letter from the 13th of Elong with the pan. The pawn, we've said before, is pigion neph. It's a special type of correspondence that aid writes to abe with petitions for prayers. Um, again, I'll point out, I've pointed this out before, maybe not this 30 letters, 30 days, maybe last year, but it's always interesting to me. The Labava is busy
