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.

Huss to syrup Heim kanayevsky I had the privilege a number of times and it was uh it was a very uh what wonderful and wondrous opportunity to see that caliber I've also gone to him at times when he was not available and I couldn't get in and I had to wait outside sometimes for a long time and sometimes if I'm not mistaken I wasn't able to get in and what's really amazing is have the uh the following thought imagine if while I was waiting outside of Aaron Lynch Simon came to a prime kenyevsky's house obviously he would go right in imagine from gershn Edelstein went through abrahim's house at that time he would also get in well imagine if after that I would knock on the door and I would say like this just like you let Robert leave Steinman into your house so to let little old me just like you lot rev Garcia those died into your house let me in as well they get to go in even when raphaim doesn't have official public hours but I'm just uh you know I'm I'm a tourist I'm an American Tourist how how dare I invoke the uh how dare I invoke the the uh special dispensation and ride given to those great luminaries and try to apply it to myself imagine I said well you would have let Revel yashiv come in so let me come in as well I think we would all agree that would be very brazen but do you realize that we make a very similar request in the sleece we say no oh God remember Abraham remember when he was about to sacrifice his son Isaac well just like you answered him answer me and remember
