Okay, we are we are in a in the middle of the whole story of Rabbi Nakman's journey to Erit Israel. Last week we began about his decision to go. How much was it last week? No, two weeks ago we we we spoke about his decision to go, how much it was a struggle, how much it was a big shock to the community and to his family. And we saw his determination. We saw that and we we learned a piece of based on that when a person realizes of based on that when a person realizes that once asked what does it mean to have free will he says very simple if you want something you do it if you don't want it you won't do it and said it was very important to write these words down because quite often we think I just I want to do something so badly but it's not I I can't say if you want to do something so badly you you you will you will you will end up doing it. And Rabbi Nman sets out on his journey to um on Baome of that year. I think it was um on Baome of that year. I think it was 1798 if I remember correctly. But I just wanted to give you two quotes today, two important quotes from Rabbi Aman on Erit Israel in order to just get our heads to get our get our heads in the right place.
