Heat. Heat. [Music] You see your sh and thanks for coming everybody. uh this kind of shear and the situation we're in is not a new thing. Um not was I muted? I just wanted to No, I was in. Okay. I just want to say and and also I want to welcome the listeners or viewers of Yuban and Torah anytime as well. Um, I'm going to open this class the same way I did shortly after October 7th. Um, for those you um have heard of the author Charles Dickens, Parrots lives in London. So that's a nod to London.

Oh, we don't want this to go back to normal. This is great. This connection and this non uh critique of others and unification. We all wanted it. We all made extra efforts. And part of what I do is to try to speak about the profound accomplishments we make in every little prayer, every little um restraint from something negative. I I just want to bring out
