You are live. >> Okay, so we're we're working in the sitter on page 107 in the big article sitter. And if you have blue khumashim, that would be good for you also because we're going to take a look at it in a moment. Um these are the seven blessings of national redemption and they started with the in-gathering of the exiles and the restoration of justice. restoration of justice. And now we're up to the third one, which is the middle of page 107, which the of which the title is against heretics, though the vocabulary is not exactly consistent. I'm going to read you through it, you get a sense of its uh direction and content and then we're going to analyze its historical background and see whether it needs to be understood in a light which isn't obvious on the surface. Now, it starts off with about she demon for slanderers. Now, I'm not sure that in Hebrew malshin is the same as a slanderer. Slander means that you lie about the other person.
