invitation well thank you for making the time to be here um Rabbi obviously these are very challenging and difficult times uh the first question I just want to ask is how are you and what what's on the Forefront of your mind right now the Jewish people have been affected on a core level um the fact is that we in America and I think Jews all over the world obviously in Israel but all over the world thousands of kilometers away from Gaza and Southern Israel when we heard of the atrocities and the horrific mini Holocaust of October 7th 2023 the Jewish World responded with visceral pain and anguish uh on one level it's been overwhelming for so many sleepless nights fear concern deep anxiety deep pain on another level I just have to say I think the pain that we're feeling is the pain that comes from the love that we have towards each other basically what I have seen in the last few weeks is that the organism we call Amel the Jewish people is alive and kicking it's functioning well no part has been amputated because the entire Jewish world has been shaken to the core Jews have been feeling more Jewish than they have in any time that I remember my lifetime time Jews have been responding in a way that I don't think we ever responded both emotionally and spiritually and practically and I think what that tells us is that the organism called the Jewish people is very very much vibrant and alive and that our calling is to remain United and become United like never before in history and to become more Jewish like never before in history Thomas Payne wrote you you know there are times that try men's Souls
