Um, so I wanted to finish off with a couple of different nakudas that we didn't get to. Um, specifically talking about the sugia of filters and sieving, which is the last few sifim really. When you get from siv yud all the way down, you start to get to the sugia of the sifting and the sieving and the filtering and all of these things. So I wanted to speak a little bit about that.
