wonderful insights. And so, Rabbi, I want to ask you, I feel like the Jewish people, we're in a time of so much ache and so much pain. And so, what would you say, how is it that we can transform our pain into strength? And what does it mean to use our voice in a time of such, you know, deep sorrow and deep pain? Wow, Shiffra. First of all, before I answer your question, your pretty uh profound question, very profound question, I just want to salute you for your podcast and also for your work your podcast and also for your work which inspired your podcast to literally I think you're an example of taking pain and transforming it into a source of light and strength and empowerment for yourself and for all your friends and community and ultimately all your listeners and viewers. And I'm sure the audience will expand more and more. So that's number one. So maybe the first answer to your question is look in the mirror. Wow. Thank you. Look in the mirror and see how to do it and then teach all of us how to do it. teach all of us how to do it. I will and I'm not going to take back that answer because it's a genuine answer. I'm just going to add. As a Jew, you always add something, right? Yes. And there's yes and not but. But and somebody once taught me don't say yes but. Say yes and if you say yes but the person becomes defensive. Say yes and we're just adding. It's a it's a good principle. So yes, look at yourself and show and teach that to us. And it's true about every single one of us.
