So sorry. So they're sitting Shiva this week on at their home 118 Grand View. So today I want to discuss we're going to discuss Baser Hashem one expression in Kish in this week's para that at the surface it just like seems like a cute or curious expression. When you go deeper, you see that this expression captures first of all a timeless historical truth and a timeless deep emotional and and a timeless deep emotional and spiritual truth as relevant today as ever. If you go to your source sheets, it's one source sheet. Let's remember the historical context paras. This week we read two paras in Israel. It's only bullock. Here it's kukas and balik. So we catch up because the second day of shuis in Israel was just shabas and here it was the second day of shu. So they got an extra para when we didn't because for an extra para when we didn't because for us it was the holiday for them. It was shabas. The second day of shuis was shabas. We celebrate shu. They don't. So they had a parasi. So we fell behind. And this week we finally catch up to the holy land. They do only balak. We do kukas and balak. The two parts of the Jewish people are synchronized. Maztov, we can always use uh synchronization and unity. The beginning of Balok is Balak was the king of a country called Moyov and Balak
