Wouldn't it be better if we did it in English in whatever our native tongue English in whatever our native tongue is, the language I know. I'm sitting here fumbling my way through Hebrew. I don't know what have words mean. Is this really the best way to >> Din? >> Good question. Everyone asked this question and anybody anybody who ever cared about at all, it's one of the first questions is should we be using the sudra or why not just let me d from the heart? >> Okay. I don't know if you delay and he answered >> the words that chose these and these great giants with prophecy. They chose when they constructed the language of the sid. Those words are they are eternal. An after a person will put in the effort to understand what the words mean.
