I tell you a little story that happened. I'll tell you something fast then Schmoely, I want you to hear this. These when I literally, I'm not I'm not talking from the guys now, I'm not from I'm not into from speak. I like authentic real there's not to talk from. I physically have an excitement when I get to these parshas, a real say physically it's not a physical thing, but an excitement not a not a work oh oh you know so it's a guy wants to get somewhere he says It's the guy love somewhere he says It's the guy love davening. No, you don't. But you're trying to get yourself to love it. In these weeks parshas Bereishit, Noach, Lech Lecha, Chayei Sarah I get literally excited. It's typically a hard time I'm tired from our over Simchas Torah is over, it's man Simchas Torah you know. And people have a certain we all have a certain sadness to leave the Yom Tov and and a comfort to me always is these parshas. I get it I'm like excited about these parshas. Like where do I get that from? Why am I excited about these parshas? parshas? My Rebbe studied with us. Moishe, I want you to hear this. Naftali, my Rebbe learned these parshas with us. He spoke about Avraham, Yitzchak, Yaakov, the Avos. He made it so real to us. In these parshas our Tata Avraham came home. So nice. Or rather we returned to Avraham Avinu's house. We were back with Avraham Avinu. And he spoke to us about Avraham Avinu, the Friday Chumash Shiur, the the Mussar
