Okay, good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back to Rabbis on the Run. The series that we've been discussing on Tuesday evenings this year. We've introduced several times. We've had the privilege of our sessions. Rabbis who've been able to author all kinds of scholarship while on the run. It's really extraordinary what they accomplished and what they achieved when you think about us. We who in peace and serenity and tranquility, relative prosperity even with the pandemic that we faced for many point, there is a one final class in the series which will take place on Wednesday, March 9th, here in the social hall, Rabbi Reuven Blumenthal sneaking mysticism into the new world, Rabbi Yitzchak Rosenberg in the Maharal's Golem. You don't want to miss that. It's on uh March 9th, so join for that. Also, we've begun our campaign for our BRS Global and I apologize, but I don't really apologize. You're going to hear me uh continue for the next week or so emphasize those who are not members. If you're a member of BRS, you're doing your part to enable BRS to spread the Torah's messages, its values, and its vision. But if you're not a member of BRS, and yet you are a consumer of BRS, you enjoy listening and watching and reading and attending and eating and drinking and being cooled or warmed by the uh air conditioning, then please do your part. We run a campaign once a year. We want to try to get our message out better, bigger, farther, and we need your help in order to do it. It's that simple. You could do it while I'm speaking. Take out your phone. I'm not offended at all.
