infantile, and all the other nasty comments that some people make. But hey, as they say, there is no bad publicity. Just spell the name right. It's not that I'm hurt. You know, I know those people never watch again. But you baruch Hashem, I 287 comments on that episode. So, the uh the eight or nine nasty ones are fine. It just pushes us over. Okay, but that's not the um But that's not the what we're anything. And my siblings, and my grandparents, and my whole extended family, and my friends, and Rabbi Ulanski. Does that mean I'm not a friend? And Rabbi Ulanski's family, and Rabbi Ulanski's friends. I would like to include you in that, overthinker. And the whole klal Yisrael. You mess with me, you mess with my whole family. Does it make any difference if I name someone specific versus referring to them in a group? How about if I name them directly with the whole Ploni ben Ploni versus just referring to my relation to them? Am I overthinking this? Skhus for a shidduch for Reuven Eloiza ben Esther Leah and for Devorah, who did not respond fast enough to my text asking for her full name. But Hashem knows who I'm talking about. So, how much does it really matter? And if I say my family, but technically the whole of Klal Yisrael is my family, is it redundant to add Klal Yisrael? Okay, I'm definitely overthinking this. I'll stop here. Okay, well, we're out of time for this week. This has been the Rabbi Elefant Show. Just kidding. Okay, let me start by saying the following. Um overthinker. I always appreciate overthinkers than underthinkers.
