Go figure...
How Ironic or sad I guess,
the child is asking his father why he has to daven to "the chair' and then they play a clip of the rebbe that specifically says that 'af Hu bachayim - he is still alive means, if we learn the rebbes Torah and if the people of the generation does his takanos, (action) and that’s why the son his Davening by the "Chair" go figure....

BTW, that youth pioneer song is pretty catchy. I have it running in loop right now (CR really needs a hobby...).
