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.

Probably the highlight of our trip is to be at the kever of the Chofetz Chaim, the Steipler Chofetz Chaim. How could we possibly say the correct words at the makom of the Chofetz Chaim? So many of us have mentioned the Shorter family, the Rosen family had family that learned by the Chofetz Chaim and feel a personal connection to the Chofetz Chaim, but all of Klal Yisrael has a personal connection to the Chofetz Chaim. Who has not improved their speech because of Sefer Chofetz Chaim, Sefer Shmiras Halashon? Who does not learn from the Sefer Mishnah Berurah? Hagoen Hatsaddik Hamefoar Somuch B'chol Klal Yisrael Hagoel L'moiseif Hadar U'pilla Yashar Hear Enei Kol Yisrael, He illuminated the eyes of all of Klal Yisrael B'Toraso, Tzidkaso With his Torah, his righteousness And his awesome accomplishments One of the last talmidim of the Chofetz Chaim was Reb Mordechai Zuckerman. And he was once asked, you know, the Chofetz Chaim lived in a dor de'ah, a dor of all time great gedolei Yisrael. What was it about the Chofetz Chaim that he rose up to be the greatest from among among all of them? And Reb Mordechai Zuckerman gave many answers. Reb Mordechai Zuckerman said, first of all, the Chofetz Chaim was a great genius and he devoted all of his illuyishkeit for Avodas Hashem. Reb Mordechai Zuckerman said that in terms of the personal husband and wife that the husband made every night, he was unparalleled. Nobody made an accounting for their daily life the way the husband did. In the in the biography
