to thank you for always being there for CLA Isel being a true source of inspiration during difficult times including Corona I will tell you my daughter watched your Q&A avidly and when I was going upstairs I said I have to get on a zoom she said with who I said with with Rabbi YY Jacobson she could not believe it she said wow I think she wanted to join us so thank you for being there for claw Israel during Corona and since October 7th thank you so much for joining us thank you my honor and pleasure thank you for having me rabari a privilege and pleasure so why don't we start with a very basic question there's a tug-of war it seems between some rash Yesa some saying that Tor is a and that's all we need and others are saying that we need to show for the and it's not all about learning it is all about learning but we also need to protect ourselves and we need to be active on the on the with the military we need to be out there and protecting actively CL so so where does this concept of Torah learning protects it's a shme where does that come from and if that's 100% a blanket shme why does Israel need an army wonderful question to start off I have to say that uh I feel that having this conversation itself is very very painful um I believe you know there are questions that need answers and there are questions that it's a non starter like the language of K the entire notion and even the debate about it is is very painful for me
