 This is Community Matters and we're going to talk about the Jewish Peace Corps with two young rabbis who are visiting the Hawaiian Islands, Shlucham, they're part of the International Chabad Network, as it were. And one of them is Israel Krasnachansky, who is the son of Ichel, Rabbi Ichel Krasnachansky in the Chabad of Hawaii, who is stationed in, if you will, in Paris, or near Paris, that's really something. And then there's Yossi Rottenstreich, who is cousin, and he went to school together way back when in New York. And Yossi is stationed in Baltimore, Baltimore, my goodness, we want to talk to you about Baltimore. And they are part of, at least in Rabbi Ichel Krasnachansky's notion, the Jewish Peace Corps. So Israel, what in the world is the Jewish Peace Corps? So Yossi's not like part of the official Peace Corps, per se, just an analogy, but it's really it's a subcategory, or shall I say, under the auspices of a much greater, a huge network of outreach. Outreach is the operative word, and also doing good for people, helping people. Goodness and kindness, that's basically the bottom line. So what do you do good for people, and how do you help them? So the basic, basic, basic gist of it is trying to reach out to as many Jews as possible, like I said, it's a Jewish Peace Corps, and that's just to try to bring them just one step closer, I would say, to their Jewish roots and their Judaism. So it's not like, not looking to bring in new members to the tribe or anything like that, just meet all the members of the tribe as many as possible, and help them and be there for them, be there for them, support what they need. And then obviously in the Jewish, in the religious sense, try to maybe get a good mitzvah, a good deed, playing mitzvah, or a short prayer, or something like that, but even if we don't make it that far, to put the later on with them, or to do a good mitzvah with them, or even do anything Jewish with them, mission accomplished. So if we met another Jew, and gave him a smile, and maybe listed his day a little, and was there for him, then we've done our job. So you're able to do that in Paris, in France? Paris has an up and down history on anti-Semitism, how does that play? But in general, the rule is that a Jew who's proud of his Judaism and stands strong in the Amazon, no matter what, and not going to be affected, or not going to hide my Judaism, because someone else has a problem with it. The general rule is that such a Jew is respected, few respects who he is, and he's respected by other people. So in Paris, the Jewish community is very, very strong, a strong body. And very, very... You go to the Marais? No, never, never. I'm in the issue most of it, once a week we go out to Paris, and I relate so much to Jews there, and like we do over here. Big French? Thank you. Yeah, he said Umpah. And how about finding kosher food in Paris? No, it's not a problem. Not a problem. Not a problem like Hawaii. No, they got a lot of food there. And they're not Jewish people there. Although there's some Jewish people in Paris who want to go back to Israel. They had enough of France. Yes, every Jew should want to go back to Israel, wherever he is. Be it Hawaii, be it... Yeah, everybody wants to go to Hawaii, don't they? So I guess the question I have is, you walk down the street, you're always going to wear your religious garb, yeah? This is the way you appear in public, maybe at home too. So ever get a problem with people in Paris about your outfit? It's like, not nothing too major, thank God. It says actually that Talmud relates that someone who's on his way to do a good deed, no harm could be fallen. And he's, definitely when he's doing the good deed, but even when he's on the way to do the good deed, so the merit of the good deed protects him. So definitely someone who's going to try to spread Judaism and spread the word of God isn't someone who... It does take a little courage, I have to say. When you're in a place that where people may not like you, it's so good for you, good for being courageous. So, Yossi. Yes. Baltimore, Baltimore had been in the news a lot. What are you doing in Baltimore to help people? So again, so first, the idea of the outreach program is more of an emphasis placed on the adults. So once you graduate the Ishiva system, then is when you dedicate most of your life to doing outreach and to trying to find more Jews and bring them closer. But even in the... So right now we're both still in the starting stage. We're still part of the Ishiva system. So then the emphasis is placed on learning Torah, just so you know what to tell the people. You can't just go out there and have anything to say. You have to be mouthful, let's say. You are both ordained rabbis, am I right? Just about. Just about. Just about. Okay, okay. Not there yet. But no, so you have to know what to say, you have to know how to say it. So most of the day is spent in the books learning, studying. However, a portion of the time is set aside to going out, meeting people on the street. So again, so when I'm in Baltimore, the Ishiva is very isolated. It's referred to as one of the cities of refuge. There's such a concept in the Chomash in the Bible, which explains how a person, God forbid, whatever, there's certain cities where if a person, God forbid, killed someone by mistake, he can run to in a city of refuge. And these are our physical cities in the land of Israel. Obviously it's not active until only when the temple stands. Now it's not active. However, the idea of the city of refuge is that it's an isolated place, it's walled in, and these people that killed someone by accident, they can go there and be protected from anyone that might try to take revenge on their relatives. Why is Baltimore considered in the city? So I'm saying the Ishiva in general is a place where you go and study. Forget about the whole killing thing that doesn't tie in really to the analogy here, but what I'm trying to say is that it's referred to as a city of refuge. It's a place where you go in, you're kind of disconnected by choice, you're disconnected from reality, you sit down, you have the books, you have your teachers, and you have your friends. And in that place you're so about all the happenings in Baltimore, I can't tell you so much in detail. Obviously some of it penetrates, but the main focus is just to try to study God's Torah, to try to learn, to try to act like good Jews. And then once a week we go around to the neighboring places and try to again put someone on some people, just meet them. But the emphasis is always going to be on the learning, on the studying, on the books. You don't speak French? No, not even. I really either. English, Yiddish, and Hebrew, yeah? Yes. In France as well, the language of the Ishii was Yiddish, the official language is Yiddish. In the middle of France it's like an old continent like you're saying, the Ishii was Yiddish. That's very interesting, yeah, yeah. So you brought with you some to villain. Both of you gentlemen have already said Shacharish the morning prayer. Correct. And you've said Mi'rchah, have you had? No, not yet. No, it's too early for that, after the show, yeah. And Ma'ariv is the evening prayer, as it's sunset. It's seven o'clock. We all have our different customs, yeah. And when you do Shacharish, I mean Ma'ariv, wait. Which one are you fighting? Shacharish, Mi'rchah, Ma'ariv. Exactly. When you do Shacharish, that's when you lay this villain, you put the villain on. Can you show people what they look like? I think a lot of people have heard the term, but they don't know exactly what a villain box looks like. Filactory is the word in English. Filactory, yeah, he had more of a chance of that, of someone finding someone on the street and telling him it's villain and him knowing what that is instead of filactory. There are two boxes, and this is just the shell to protect it. The idea is that this one goes on your hand. Goes around. You take your coat off when you put the villain on. So you have to roll up your sleeve, and there's a slot here you stick your hand through. You wrap this string around your hand multiple times. Now inside, so the important part of this is inside this box over here, it's so shot with some animal sinew. It's very slight over here. And inside this box are four parchment. Why is that so much bigger than the ones I had when I was about to miss one? The parchment's bigger now. It could be the parchment's the same size. It's the professional model as well. Askenazi just have generally very small and Chabad have bigger ones. It's all the same idea. Same one that Moses wore a thousand years ago. So the idea is that inside you have these scrolls, and inside the scrolls are written very key passages from the Bible, such as believe in one God, and that if you fulfill my commandments and that if you serve me like a proper person... It's selected passages, not the whole thing. The passages are the same in all of the... Alt-Fillen? Yes. They are. It's a regular assortment of prayers. Correct. And it says so and it's about how God will affect you positively and give you much good as long as you stay good, as long as you stay a good person and fulfill... So I'm left-handed. I used to wrap my left hand. Your right hand. Right hand. Because if you're left-handed you put them on your right and if you're right-handed you put them on your left. Wrap with your left hand if you're left-handed. You need your main hand to wrap. That's why. And it's like seven times you have to wrap. You got it. I think you put them on yesterday. What about that? Yeah, wow. And then you have to wrap them on your finger. Your wrap around all the fingers and then you wrap around the two fingers at the end. Somebody's custom just the middle finger. You're really bound up with this and the idea there is that the word shall guide your hand. Your hand is guided by the word of God. Am I right? It's placed also at the back. The strings go all the way down your hand. The boxes opposite your heart. And one is on your mind. And the other feeling is on your head. They're interchangeable, right? Yes. You can put the hand on... No, no, no. They're different, okay? Different knots. But they're not held back by one another. If you for whatever reason can't put it on your hand, then you can place it on your head. Meaning, even though generally the custom is to place both on the hand and on the head at the same time, if for whatever reason you can't place it on the hand... Maybe you're disabled. Yes. Or somebody got to bruise whatever it should be. For whatever reason that it's painful or you're not able to put it on your hand, then you can just put it on the head. Because a lot of people they assume that it's filling is like a package deal. If I can't put it on the hand, then I shouldn't even try to put it on the head. So you make your best effort. Yeah. So the truth is that they're two individual amidst votes and whatever you can do, you can do. Yeah, they both have the same prayer inside the box. Did you ever take it out? Did you ever look at it? No, not scribes. It's something you're not supposed to take out. You check them. You're supposed to check them once every several years. But it's a scribe's job. Like, yeah. The scribe writes them. The scribe writes the tool. It's the same. Yeah, same idea. The official scribe. Okay. And when you put them on, you make a prayer. What is the prayer? So we do the whole morning prayers. Oh, it's part of the morning prayer. But when you put the tiling on, you make a special prayer about putting them on, right? There's a blessing. Yeah. A blessing, all right. Yeah. What does it say in English? It says, blessed are you are God who commanded us and sanctified us with His commandments, commanded us to put on the tiling. It's the standard blessing for every commandment. Just change last words. Blessed are you are God. Blessed are you are God. For this, for that, for this, for that. The idea is there's one key idea which lies behind all the mitzvot, all the commandments. Every mitzvot has their specific idea, like you mentioned before, that's filling is to leave your actions, your hand and your heart and your head in the right way. Every mitzvot has their own idea. But all the mitzvot have one general idea, which is that it connects us to God. Okay. How long has this been going on, Dylan? The time of the first temple, the second temple? Yeah. Way, way back. Back to Sinai. Yes. Back to the Torah. Back to Egypt? No. Egypt was before Sinai. After Egypt and the population of Mount Sinai. Right. So some of these prayers came from what Moses took off the Mount Sinai. Yeah. The Torah. The Ten Commandments are in there, I guess. No, not the Ten Commandments. The Torah. An example of what's in there. An example of the passage, the key passage, just like the key passage in Jewish life in Jewish Christian is the Shmi Israel. Here in Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one. That's the key. That's the passage in Deuteronomy, which wasn't given by the Mount Sinai, but it's a part of the whole Torah. It was a... Okay. We're going to take a short break. And so we can put the trillion back in the bag. Yes. Because it makes me nervous to have them on the table. Yeah. Because I want to protect them. They're holy items. Would you like to have them on the hand? And then we'll come back and I want to ask you guys, what you study when you study the Bible? What you study when you study the Torah? And how you study it? I'm really interested in that. Yeah. Okay. It was a short break. And we'll take... Fill in and put them back in the bag. Aloha. I'm Keisha King, host of At the Crossroads, where we have conversations that are real and relevant. We have spoken with community leaders from right here locally in Hawaii and all around the world. Won't you join us on thinktechhawaii.com or on YouTube on the Think Tech Hawaii channel. Our conversations are real, relevant, and lots of fun. I'll see you at the Crossroads. Aloha. Aloha. My name is Mark Shklav. I am the host of Think Tech Hawaii's Law Across the Sea program. My program airs every other Monday at one o'clock on Think Tech Hawaii. Most of my programs deal with my own life and law experience. Recently, I interviewed Alex Gempel, who I have known for over 30 years, about his voyage across the sea as a lawyer from Tokyo to Hawaii. Those are the type of stories that I like to bring and like to talk about, human stories about law and life. Aloha. Okay, we're back. We're live. And what we did is we fold them up. You have to fold up the fillet in a certain way, wrap the leather thongs around in a certain way. And I learned that the one that goes on your head has that written on it. The one that goes on your arm has that written, so you don't get confused. But you can tell anyway, right? You can tell which one. It's written on the boxes, not on the actual. And then I noticed also that you, when you handle the fillet, you give them a little kiss. Like you do for a tolus. Correct. Or the chitchin. Correct. The same thing. It's a holy object. So you do it respectfully. Okay, so I want to talk about studying and learning. Okay? Because part of, a bad part of Orthodox Judaism is studying and learning. And I want to know what you study, what you learn, because you do it every day, right? Yeah. What's it like? What do you do? So it's like a short question, but it comes to this answer and comes to this a lot. It's okay. Like you say we do it all day. It's okay. It's okay. Just to say, I guess, like making it two basic subcategories, there's the laws, the law aspect, what to do, how to be a good Jew, which that's most basically, most fundamentally the Talmud, studying the Talmud, that takes up most hours of the day. Most hours of the day. Yes. Now the Talmud is, you have a center part of the page in the Talmud, where the original Talmud from way back, several hundred years ago, is written. And then you have commentary around it, and then you have commentary on the commentary, right? Yes. I mean, so you have to read it all, right? If you're going to understand it because, no, you know? Very, very intricate, yes. Yeah, talk about it. So, yeah, for example, like you said, the Talmud has been the key work of Jewish life, to speak from when it was written, dated back approximately 2,000 years ago, till today. So, obviously, the more that's studied, the more that's learned, there comes more and more depth. So, there's constantly commentaries and super commentaries being written on it. So, like you said, there's the center page, and then around is what's called Rashi, the foremost commentator, and on the other side is Toso, the two most foremost commentators. And, like you said, it's incredible, incredible depth. For example, an average Yishu boy will learn Talmud for many, many hours a day, but in the Chabad schools, the key period would be a four-hour session of Talmud study, and the whole year he'll cover about 10 pages of Talmud. You get to learn every syllable. He's not sitting around waiting his time, at least that's the hope. Yeah, it's very, very depth. That's one section, the Talmud. That's quite a... How big is the Talmud? Around 2,000-plus pages. 2,700 around. With the commentaries around the outside? Yeah, if there weren't commentaries, it would be less pages. There's a standard print. But it could be learned for a lifetime. One line, one page, you learn it for a lifetime, or you could just learn the whole thing. When did you study yesterday? Yesterday was Sunday, so you could study Sunday. Yeah, so what I studied yesterday actually was more the second aspect I'm getting to. So, the first category is Talmud, which demands more like a she-va setting, like full, in-depth focus. And the second category is what Chabal ch'sidim are unique in, which that is the aspect called ch'sidut. What is that? Ch'sidut is the esoteric and deeper aspects of the Torah, not to learn the laws so much, but to learn who commanded those laws. That's the mysticism part? The mysticism part. It's not so mystical. It's very understandable and very practical. Yeah. It's not so much about the laws because he's a Jewish life, but what is Jewish life and who commanded all this? God and his workings and his... And that would be on the outside, Marc? No, this is totally different books. Totally different books. What do you call that book? It's a category called ch'sidut, and there's many, many different... Ch'sidut. Ch'sidut. So, let's go to the commentaries for a minute, Yossi. So, you read the commentaries. You know who wrote them. Does it say, does the author appear there somewhere? Generally, it's like in an acronym. All these commentaries, their names were, for example, Rashi. Rashi is an acronym with the letters, a few Hebrew letters, Reish, Shin, and Yod. And which spell out, if you spell them out fully, it's Shlomo Yitzchaki, which is what was his name. What's his name? Well, they basically turned his cop... You know when he lived? Yeah. How do you know? Is it written there? You just have to go outside and research him and find out when he lived, where he lived, all that. So, you probably won't find this in the actual category, but Rashi being such a famous and foremost commentaries, one of those things that you grow up with as a child, knowing that he lived in France, when he lived different stories about his life, and so on. I give him respect. In other words, he's credible. His commentaries are well-known because he is well-known. Well, the truth is, any... It works both ways. Sometimes people aren't... The truth is, there are some commentaries we don't even know who wrote them. Very rarely, but you know it's credible just because what's written there. But that's a very small category. Generally, it works both ways. You have great men, great sages, great rabbis who wrote great things. So, they can be credited both ways, either because of their stature or because of their writings. The truth is, in truth, you can spend... Some people do spend part of their day researching who they're learning about their lives, different stories about them. That's more of a light learning. It's not just enjoyable to read about these figures. And there's a commentary. I read the center, or I read the other fellow's commentary, and I would like to make a comment. I would like to enhance knowledge about the ideas in the Talmud. Is that what it is? So, it's like we do on the shows. You want to make a comment? Make a comment? Now, the question is, suppose Rabbi Schneersen had an idea, the founder of Rabbi, had an idea, and he was reading the Talmud one day, and he said, you know, I agree or I disagree with this other fellow who wrote the last commentary or some commentary in the past. I want to go on record about that. So, would Rabbi Schneersen start writing in the margins of the Talmud? Or was he too late to write in the margins of the Talmud? That was common practice to write in the margins. That's more like for personal notes. This general system is like everywhere else. You have a thing to say, you write it, you publish it, and the book is kept for... It's a separate book. It's not in the Talmud itself. There are only two commentaries which are along the page of the Talmud, basic commentaries. But everything else, all the hundreds and different people that had different rabbis which had much to say later, so some of it's printed in the back. They just print their own books, and basically it's a guide. So you have the Talmud in one side, and then along with the Talmud you have another side, this commentary. So you're reading the Talmud, then you look at his commentary, what he says, continue reading. So the same thing nowadays, anyone that has a thought publishes it in his own book and it can be bought as a read-along with the Talmud. It's an interesting term that I've come familiar with over my life. Or if a conversation is Talmudic, it usually goes like this. On the one hand this, and on the other hand that, and then we get this, then we get that, and it never comes to rest because somebody always has another idea about it. Is this the way it works? Do you see it that way? Not so much in that there's no bottom line. There's a bottom line. That's, I guess, just stereotypical. There's a lot of times the bottom line, that's Jewish law, what the bottom line is, how to act. It's the center of the Talmud book. The center is just all the conversations. The bottom line was needed out generations later by other ... It's just a living document now. You read the Talmud in the commentaries and it's current. It's now. It's 2019. Exactly, like the whole Torah. What am I supposed to do today? This is applicable to me today. And how should I live my life today? For example, if I wrote about trouble in Baltimore, and I thought, wow, this is related to the Talmud. For me, there's a connection between the Talmud and the trouble in Baltimore. Would I write that down? And wouldn't that get old in 10 years or 20? It would, but there's something called application. I would take your work and see, wow, this is what he thought about such a case. So let's see my case. It's a situation in Honolulu. It's not like Baltimore, but it's certain shared aspects. Let me take what he said about these aspects about Baltimore and apply it. Yes, like you said, everything was, there's thousands and thousands of books about what he trapped. I thought about his specific... Do you have your own copy? The Talmud? Not in the office, but yeah. You own one. And you can go study it by yourself or in a group. Usually it's in a group, though, isn't it? The standard way, the accepted way of learning, at least as students, is cleared up. And that always adds first of all to the feeling when you're not just sitting down in a quiet room and just reading a page, but rather you're sitting down in front of a friend of yours and you're both trying to figure out. It adds much energy and it just makes it a lot more alive. Read aloud? So that's the idea. I think it's starting to become more accepted actually, you may know this, but in South Korea I know they started learning Talmud. Just non-Jewish education that they started learning Talmud there. Is that in Korean or English? I think they have a Korean translation by now. I don't know. They have it in English, though, don't they? All languages. There is no translation? No, in all French. Lots of French, everything, okay. And Yiddish, of course. Yiddish? I'm not really prevalent today, because no one really speaks it. That's where there was a... Let's shift to the Torah now, because it isn't part of being an Orthodox Jew reading the Torah, learning the Torah. The Torah is not as long as the Talmud. No, but it encapsulates all ideas. What do you mean by that? I mean by that the Talmud isn't going to give us a new Torah. It's going to explain what it says in the Torah. For example, in the Torah it says we shall bind them for a sign upon your hand and a sign on your head. What does that mean? I don't know what sort of sign, how the Talmud comes and explains. There's these black boxes you put, like you were saying, these and these parchment inside. The Torah is very condensed, but not that it's a different study. You guys can both read the Hebrew without the vowels and everything right from the Torah. You can read it aloud, you can read it from meaning, you can translate it on the spot, am I right? You studied some Torah? You didn't bring one with you and that's okay. I have. And that comes in English too? Bible, yeah. And the five books of Moses are in the Torah? That is the Torah. It is the Torah, that's the whole thing. It was the all-encompassing word for the five books of Moses. Torah actually getting back to where you're saying that it's practical. The translation of Torah is not Bible, I'm saying maybe Bible, but it's just as understandable as phylacteries. The literal translation of the word Torah is lesson. The word Torah means lesson. The word Torah is from the root which means lesson. Coming to say that yes it was written and it was given thousands of years ago. But the lessons are applicable today in Honoluluwa in 2019. If you have the Talmud, it's better to have the Torah nearby or a copy of it, so you can go back to the original text and see what they're commenting on. Yes. And likewise, if you're reading the Torah, it's good to have the Talmud there, so you can see what people interpreted the words to mean. Extending them into life. There's the commentators on the Torah which really have took the relevant parts of the Talmud on that work for you. One goes with the other. Like love and marriage. You're going to be ordained soon. How much more study and mission experience you need to have, you guys, before you get to be rabbis? Can I call you rabbi now, or is it too early for that? Whatever you want. I'm going to call you rabbi now. Rabbi Israel and Rabbi Yossi. What do you have to do to actually get your wings? There is a specific course that you have to take because the Torah is so vast and you can spend your entire lifetime and you still won't cover everything or not even nearly everything. To become a rabbi, there's a specific parts where they target and they say you have to learn this well. Basically, the very applicable things the questions that you would be asked as because a rabbi is in Chabad, a rabbi, a lot of it is going out to do different places in the world and just trying to meet Jews there and outreach. The more literal... Peace Corps things too. The standard rabbi is basically answering questions that people have on Jewish law because the rabbi is generally seen as the more knowledgeable everyone learns Torah but the rabbi dedicated his life to learning Torah. He would be the more knowledgeable one to answer different questions on family life and Torah life and so on. For this course there are specific questions specific parts of Torah which is targeted. They have to learn this well. For example, different laws about Kosher. The person comes home from the store one day as a piece of meat and he wants to know, or at least this how it was in the shtetl especially, that comes home with a chicken, he shachs it, he slaughters it, he has a chicken now and he wants to know if it's Kosher but there may be something wrong with it. He goes to the rabbi and he asks the rabbi if it's okay, if it's Kosher or not and the rabbi would be the one to give final ruling. Now there's not so much applicable the slaughtering of the chicken part when you combine a supermarket, let's say if a person is not so familiar with that so he would call up his rabbi and ask the rabbi or now you can look online and that's just a general example but anything that comes up in Jewish life which you need to know you have to go to the rabbi to figure out. So this course targets certain things which generally are asked and generally You get tested? There is a test. Is it oral or written or both? Generally oral. Is it in New York? Is it here? Not Honolulu. Not Paris either. Maybe major Jewish centers you could find there. So senior rabbis will talk to you and quiz you and whether you know the things you need to know. It's called numerous numerous tests. Oh it's numerous tests and it takes a while and then you're ordained. Now when ordained rabbis you have to register with the state or is it just it's not a public thing. I don't know. It's just a religious thing. I guess I'll find out when I become one. You'll let me know. You'll have to come back and let me know how it works. When do you guys expect to be ordained? The system is that I'm not rushing to be ordained. I want to learn to review a good Jew. I'm not rushing to become a rabbi. Generally it's right before you get married. You want to be ordained before you get married. Because before you start off your life that's when you'll do it. Now It's great. I just have one more question. We're out of time but I'm really really curious. So I come to you and I say rabbi I'm having a personal problem. I'm having a crisis. It may be a family crisis. Maybe somebody in my family. It may be a personal crisis. You know bad time I'm having. It may be a health crisis. Could you give me advice? Would you be prepared to give me advice? Would you give me wisdom about that? It's not religious. It's personal. What do you do? You're correct it's not religious but there's obviously the religious view on everything. There's religious traditions and then there's life and the religious outlook on it. There is religious advice for everything. Exactly. So you would give me the religious advice. I'm not going to say I know everything. Only a fool would say that. What I would try to do is not give you my own advice but give you advice of primarily Rabbi Schneersen the Labao Trevi and his. So he has a response actually. His response which they're still not finished. They're reading the 30th volume of his response. And they're halfway done. And there it covers all aspects of life with the Jewish perspective. You have to be a certain kind of person to be willing to hear the troubles of others. Yes, I guess so. Generally a kind person wants to help out his friend. It's part of being a Rabbi isn't it? Part of being human to help out another person. Part of being human, yeah. Caring for each other, yeah. You guys are great. I'm so glad to meet you. I have one last question and we'll close this down. You always wear those hats. Do you have a yamaka under the hat? Of course. I should have known. That's part of the religious uniform. Generally for praying you're standing for God. You should look presentable. But from praying it sort of like evolutionized into that. One goes with the other. Okay, thank you Israel. Thank you. So nice to meet you guys and talk to you. So much fun. Not many things to learn. Pleasure with ours. Thank you. Emphasize. Finging God's word to the world. That's the idea.
