The rare video footage of the chofetz chaim is a historic find. People are wondering if there is a significance with this historic find. Why now has this video surfaced? what is the lesson for us to take from it? A Chizuk in shemiras halashon? a sign we should ready ourselves for the geulah as the Chofetz Chaim was instrumental in learning the halachos pertaining to the bais hamikdash. Whatever the message, seeing the holy chofetz chaim has brought many to an awe and inspiring moment. In an era of YouTube videos and nonsense such a treasure stands out above all. Many yeshivos across the US showed the footage to the talmidim. Its ironic though that this was only broadcast and publicized on the internet.
Additionally we never get to actually see the chofetz chaims face in full. It is blocked by someone in the video. Perhaps that was the tzadiks wish.

    And perhaps not. However it was definitely HKBH's wish.

  2. His descendant agrees that there must be some spiritual message going on here with the sudden appearance of the video.
