What’s said in this shiur

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

When the Rebbe Rashab, R’ Sholom Dovber Schneersohn, the fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe, and his older brother, R’ Zalman Aharon, were young children, they would often go to visit their grandfather, the heiliger Tzemach Tzedek. Once, as they were preparing to go in, to enter the room of the heiliger Tzemach Tzedek, R’ Zalman Aharon, then a young boy, realized he didn't have his hat, and he felt it was inappropriate to enter into his grandfather's room, the Tzemach Tzedek, who was at that point, the Rebbe in Lubavitch, to enter into his grandfather's room without his hat. So he told his younger brother, R’ Sholom Dovber, You go in and I'll wait outside. R’ Sholom Dovber goes into his grandfather's room, the Tzemach Tzedek’s room.
