Okay, good evening everyone. It is a privilege to be here. Winter is upon us and we feel it when we come out. And as I'm leaving the door, leaving the house in Muny and the wind is blowing. I'm thinking, who's going to come out? It's so air of winter. uh and yet and here yet here you are. So, thank you all for coming out. I appreciate it. And I don't think you'll be disappointed. Uh what we're going to be disappointed. Uh what we're going to speak about tonight is something that I don't remember having ever gone to a talk that discussed this topic before. And it's a topic whose time has come. Uh I noticed that on the flyer it did not say what I'm speaking about. So therefore, it could have just been anything. Um, but I I think this is a topic that you're going to find interesting and whether it applies interesting and whether it applies directly to you or it applies to somebody that you know, this topic, I think, will resonate and you'll be able to use it in the future. Now, we're living in interesting and in some ways uh revolutionary times within Judaism. And I say that as a macar. I do kiru. I uh fly out to different campuses. I was uh fly out to different campuses. I was in Las Vegas last week. I'm going to Orlando tomorrow. There's 6,000 yen in the Orlando campus. I then go to Dallas. There's tens of thousands of Eden there. And we're living in a day and age where people are coming back to Judaism. And that's new. That did not happen in the past within the history of Judaism. When people left, they left for good. And instead, we have a movement now that's bringing people back. And that's very exciting.
