Okay, good morning everyone and thank you for joining us on this beautiful Wednesday morning as we are starting together. Sorry, let me just mute that.

You know, you guys say that you you claim to care about my father, about you know, his feelings about not hurting him and binyamin and and all these different beautiful things, but uh you know, when you when you sold me, where were those feelings? And um eventually the brothers they um they they unite, they cry, they reminisce, and eventually Yoseph sends them back home to go retrieve their them back home to go retrieve their father. And he says, "Go pick up my father. Tell them I'm okay. Tell them I'm alive. You know, show them that I'm still religious. You know, show him the wagons. Tell him everything is okay.
