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.

uh it's a great to speak on behalf of the kal I want to thank Langanger who's the ro ky here for many decades and we have a very close family connection because my grandfather was part of the kyo for many years and he came to rabbi langanger's dafoi for many years and he spoke very highly about the ro kyel and he felt very it it gave him a lot of kios after all the years of serving the community to be able to come back to Kyle and to learn Gamarra and to learn with Lamdus, you know, it gave him a lot of kios. So if you would kindly share some of your memories of our grandfather who was uh one of the pillars of the Pittsburgh community Is that this? Okay. I was to get to know R of Gladstein well uh when he retired. I think he was in his late 80s. He wasn't really ready to retire at that time because he was only like 88 or so. But he was uh in to retire. He agreed to retire. Glastine was a very very important figure, influential figure in the community for many decades before that. But I didn't I didn't really know him then. Um but in the years that we was able to see him and get to know him
