Rabbi Mordechai Kraft - The Most Important Verse In the Torah

okay first we'd like to welcome everybody back to our Lunch and Learn and as we say if it's Tuesday it much must be Emmett lunch in life so someone suggested that perhaps I should put a a a tray of sushi in front of me to make it look like an official Emmett lunch-and-learn but I guess we'll just have to do without the sushi for now and imagine it in our virtual reality that we have sushi in front of us so I welcome everybody and I just looking at the screen I just want to particularly welcome a good friend of mine from Bolivia Dov it welcome I see that you if you're listening over there and thank you for tuning in and everybody else who's tuning in but especially heard of it all the way from Bolivia it's nice to have you have you aboard our program so this this week I would like to to share with everyone a fascinating piece that is both in the Maharani prog and and what we call the iyyaka and it's a question that from last week's partying pin class and and it really deals like this and the question is let's make it set it up in the following way you know we we do all do a lot of traveling today back and forth and different countries and many of us go to Israel and you know I remember in the old days you used to have conversations with the person sitting next to you you know you would sit down and gauge person conversation you have a nice long flight and you want to speak the whole time but you have a little bit of time there on the plane and you might have a nice conversation and maybe something very meaningful will come out of it I noticed things have changed today right today we sit down on the plane and first thing people do is they put in their earphones and that's it and they're in front of the screen that has has so many different variety and choices of opportunities and videos and shows and movies all know anything can imagine foreign films whatever you want you sit there and just 11 hours are usually spent by people really just staring at the screen so they're very few conversations that we have anymore in airplane which is too bad but let's imagine for ourselves the following conversation you're sitting there on the airplane and you're traveling to to Eretz Israel ready to you know for your experience and sitting next to you is a is a young man or a young woman in college and you know going to birthright for the first time ready to go to Erica strong versus maybe took some sort of religion course in college and looks at you and notices that you you've ordered the kosher food and maybe it's either yarmulke girl dressed in a certain way butts Nielson looks at you and says you know you look like an Orthodox Jew can I ask you a question and you say well sure yeah I'm all set for this what would like to ask me I said you know I'm studying a little bit of Torah Torah and if you were to say in just one sentence what you feel is the most important sentence in the Torah I was important maybe kind of a concept that would sum up the whole Torah what would you say and if they would think about that for a moment and it has it was a very good question and a few think he probably come to mind so I'd like to this question actually is a question which I'm not asking but the the MedWatch asks it and it's brought down I'm reading from the hawk-dove masako safe which is in the I'm Yakko Anyanka was Yaakov Horvath and he lived in Spain in the in the 1400 and he wrote an amazing work called the I knock over the eye of Jacob which really which he took all these sort of stories I gotta courses throughout the Tomblin and created in a few different volumes and it studied very intensely and something I was major significance he has a beautiful heart amo butyl introduction and that he quotes a med Russian let me read you the metrics and they're just as follows it says Ben Zoma I Omer the great rabbi Ben Zoma says he says matzo no Cola Yasser I found one verse that I think this verse is the most inclusive of all the verses in the Torah what's that verse he says schmeyer so the verse that Benzema feels is the most important and most inclusive verse that maybe sums up the whole tera is the verse shema yisrael hashem i saw el hashem elokenu hashem echad hear o Israel the Lord our God the Lord is one and I think I would agree with heads off on that one that's a good choice Shanaya saw what a spice will mean it really is is saying that there's complete and absolute oneness in the world there's unity in this creation and what does unity mean it mmunity means that everything that we do matters it's not that a Shem is up here and we're down here another spiritual world and the the physical world our umbilical e connected and intrinsically interacting to such an extent that everything matters it's all a sham it can't see it can't put our hands on it but we have to know it then we have to understand it and the degree to which we do understand that everything is just one this and we're part of that oneness it's so indicative of our value and how meaningful life is and then what this world is all about nothing escapes the divine eye it's so so so purposeful and meaningful and that's why that is the that's why that is the Jewish mantra as abortion I useful something which we know that were commanded to say twice a day morning and evening and shamaya saw shadow king of Akkad so bends over says maxi-lip opposite colio say what's the pasok what's the verse that I think includes the entire Torah he says it's that verse Sh'ma Israel and that might be good something to suggest to the nice birthright student say next to you the dice college student she my so you could talk about unity talk about oneness talk about meaning in life beautiful there's another opinion bananas Omer bananas says Marcy no Persico low Yasser no I have a verse that I feel is even more inclusive that is even more descriptive indicative of what the whole Torah is about the who what is that we are after the rail home oh you should love your fellow man like you love yourself interesting via hasta la rioja komova very important to love another like you love yourself and and in fact we know the famous story brought down the combine Chavez when hillo is asked by a a convert to convert him while he's well hello standing on one foot in other words to find that one verse in the Torah that you feel that you could just tell me and that's gonna be what enables you to sum it up for me so what is hello hello says something very similar to this he says you know whatever is hateful to you don't do it to your friend think of I says but you know what about God you know that includes you man to man what a man to God so Rashi says there will God's also your friend isn't he so whatever is hateful to you doctor your to your friend that's me if you have to the very kamoko summed up by Hillel means think about what you don't like and therefore be so careful not to do that to your haver to your friend and maybe it's even deeper than that if you have to read come over we have to the Reichenbach who really means to love someone who is not you and maybe that is the purpose of terror to learn to love to be able to get out of one on one's own ego and to be able to give to somebody who is not you and of course by doing so we become godlike purpose of this world is to develop relationship with a Shem forever so I understand that the closer we are to got the more similar we are to God the more we'll be able to fuse with the Shem forever and we know the word God it means good the darica Shem tells us the essence of being good is to be a mate Eve someone who does good for another that's the essence of the Shem he's a constant state of doing good so the war were able to give to another being it was outside of ourselves what God like we are that's how we really refined the most divine muscle in ourselves to be able to give and that's what it means to be a half of its of the rest of the logo be able to love but what does love mean we know love the olive the hey the beta olive numerically is one bait numerically is two and hey we know means give that's one the brothers came down to to Egypt and Joseph says to the hey Lauren Zara give them seed give them give them food and the target says hey me table means good good music hey means have which means give so what's love I love hey bait one gives to the other Aleph hey bait at Cardinal tainless shaney one in the active state of giving to another that's what love is love is the aspect of being in a state of giving to another and the more we do that of course the more we love the other because the other because part of ourselves and the more we do so the more godlike we become the more divine we become because we're resembling the Creator and it's in his in his in his most supreme way and his most pure way we're giving so I would certainly agree with the great rabbi bananas who says that I found the puck which I feels even more descriptive even better than she is well she might as well perhaps is about the absolute unity of God in the world but via half through the red combo core tells us how to be godlike and the more godlike we are than what we confuse with Gotham are fused more fusion we absolutely speak the more we perhaps can see as oneness so he feels that's been more inclusively there's another opinion that says and it's it's actually not brought down in the india hoc dumbass Arcos if it's not brought down with an Yaakov but it's really in the same vein and there's an opinion that brought down that on this question of the after the red Homolka there's a great debate between Rabi Akiva who feels Rabi Akiva feels me after the red Homolka loving your fellow man like yourself that's the clown cuddle show better that's the the greatest the greatest thing that you can do but there's another great rabbi and he says no there's even a verse which he feels is even more descriptive more inclusive of what the purpose of Torah is all about and what does he say he says that's ben azzai who says as follows he says oh dear another verse he's safe for total sodom the posix that says the torah we're a sham says i've created man it says but selim a locust and the image of god i've created him but selim I looked him the verse that says is that told us Adam and refers to the fact that man is created but seldom elokim in the image of God so but as I says he feels that verse is even more important than the verse of loving your friend and a very beautiful reason why ben azzai the reason why i feels this verse of safer told us Adam this is the told o since the generations of man and the verse but Salim a local coast itself a local Kim there's created in some elokim and God's image he feels us even more important why because if you're gonna love your fellow man the way you love has to be that you recognize the greatness of the other and the greatest of the other is real that he's created in the image of God if he's creating the image of God then the degree to which we have to go out of ourselves to go do good for the person and to serve that person to care for the person to be kind to that person we're dealing with a divine creature and applies to every human being on planet Earth it's creating what you've got I heard from a brochure she also had a clay bovitz that saw the degree to which you could see the divinity and another person is really degree to which you've seen yourself because sometimes we don't always know who we are and we can't perceive ourselves so to speak on the inside but when you look outside yourself you look at another face and you say you're created the image of God one begins to understand what self better as well so therefore been aza he disagrees with Rabi Akiva and he says very cute it's not the IHOP the Reichenbach what's not loving your fellow man like yourself which is the cloud cuddle Sherpa Torah it's the fact that procreated ben azzai says in the cell envelope kim thus brought down the tourist Kohanim were created in selling model Kimber created the divine image that's the klog goggle Jupiter that's the whole toe rests on that principle we are created image of God it's the way we're gonna love somebody the green that I seen in you is the degree to which I've seen it myself I love you more because I see how holy you are and I love myself more because I'll be less whole holy I am and we've spoken about this in past classes this idea that when we have realizing our greatnesses is really the ticket to to success in the spiritual world or in anything in life to realize how great we can be and that greatness is a function of know that I'm created but seldom elokim I've created divine image and I'm great with the divine image then my potential is is is limitless I have the divine spark inside of me and you have it and I have it I'm gonna love you for who you are your God you have the Shem living inside of you I love myself shamblers inside of me and I'm not gonna settle for second best I'm not gonna settle it by just just being mediocre but it's drive for that that supreme superb excellence in my life so these are three ideas that are really brought down in in the hog Dhamma - and Yakov on this bed rich the mattress is asking it the question is what is the most inclusive verse in the entire Torah what is the verse that sums laws so let's just review for a moment so Ben Zoma says what is it it is high as well and I suggest a good thing to say to that nice young college student on the plane teach the bachelors well iestrellas Schemmel okay no geography teacher to the oneness unity everything matters in this world nothing is disconnected from the boy show the buoy for the creator or you can teach the backbend Nonna's disagrees no if you have to the rebel you have to love you have to get out of yourself you have to be a giver you have to be godlike that's the whole purpose of creation to learn to love what is love I love no tane the shiny one gives to the other that's all I love a bit giving love it or you could suggest the idea that ben azzai says when he disagrees with Rabbi Akiva he said no it's not about behalf to the river but that's great but what's even more important is recognizing the others created B'Tselem elokim that your cream the image of God all of your create an image of God Wow that that really fires and superpowers my my obligation to love you and of course it sheds light about who on Who I am and the more I Know Who I am the moral understand what my potential is these are absolutely three beautiful concepts to speak about to that nice young cuts turning on the plane sure I saw the afterword Homolka and you're created but some elokim create the image of God each one is so important each one is so so so beautiful and I guess they really have it I heard this concept brought down by a wonderful teacher in arguing about rabbi why were Jacobsen speaks about the psyche and I I heard him say that you know it's really these are really three revolutionary ideas there's a revolution in the idea of theology that there's complete oneness in the world everything is emanating from the one source that Shanaya swell it's the idea of some of complete sociological benefit loving another like you'd love yourself you could build a beautiful world if we would conduct her so that utopian concept and it's also a beautiful idea in psychology what psychology really is is a search to to understand self and and what can can really ward off depression and and ward off insecurity and really help us combat really all of the the malaise which affects so much our society is appreciation of the value of who we are and the greeter which we could appreciate the value in who we are is degree to which we can live such a healthy and productive lives so again these are all revolutions it's a revolution in theology shed there's oneness it's a revolution in societal behavior got a love the entire you got to love you got to get out of yourself and build a beautiful world and it's a revolution in psychology recognize who you are you're created in the divine image these are unbelievable concepts and and again I would suggest we have a wonderful opening and dialogue with anybody who's seen excess on the plane and you could spend a good 11 hours engaged and this this conversation probably 11 hours won't be enough not you know I if you could force the person take out the earplugs of course but if you can engage them in conversation you have what to talk about it however I want to read now to you the end of the Meldrick the end of this Meldrick disagrees completely with all three of these opinions and says no there's a verse in the Torah which is even more inclusive which sums it all up to even even more so than any of these wonderful three concepts that we spoken about so let me read it to you it says like this to start again Ben Zoma Amer Ben Zoma says Marty opposite color yo sir hoosh Myers Robbins obviously the most important verse is the God's unity Sh'ma Israel banana suburban that says much see the pasta cosa no I felt a verse that's even more inclusive what is that V I have to the Rioja moco you have to love another like you love yourself get out of yourself and give and to that we added the tour's Kohanim which ben azzai disagrees rebuked even says no the essence is to see that selam aleykum in another divine image in another but then the end of the measure cells like this bent paws I on there the great rabbi been passing our puzzy he says as follows must see no pus a cola-cola yo sir I found a verse that I feel is even more inclusive than these three what is that listen carefully everybody it's from last week's partial it's from pink loose and it says for who s canvas Oh God toss em a bokor the crevice I heard Boehner by him you should bring one sheep in the morning and one sheep in the evening the verse in pinless last week's parsha tells us that in the listing of carbon o's that we had when we had a base a big - we know that we had to be able to quarter Corbyn to meeting a daily sacrifice and the obligation of daily sacrifice was to bring one sheep in the morning Kevin aha the bokor the carousel had been our binding and one sheep in the towards the late afternoon and in fact that is the from that is the now that has been transposed into chakra Semenko it comes from the idea that we are obligate to bring in offering every day in the morning and even Kev us at heart one sheep and even on chaves chaves with all our restrictions or all the work restrictions the obligation to bring this Corbin to me tea the one sheep offering in the morning and one sheep offering the evening even applies the Shabbos and we do all the different below coat it pushes off the prohibitions of Shabbos but then pass I says that is the most important verse in the entire term so I'm a little bit stunned by this a little shocked when I when I when I read this I saw this unbelievable statement from our sages are our sages who understood the the mysteries of the world the first three concepts I think are so beautiful and we've such a beautiful discussion point for that young college student on the plane right talk to the gods unity loving another you creating the divine image talk to them about what it means meaning in life what it means to build a beautiful society what it means to find who you are and therefore to live up to the potential that is godlike in you wow what a great conversation but as I says no that's not the conversation you should be having the conversation you should be having is to look at that student said you know what's important verse in the Torah is the most important verses the Torah is that every morning you have to bring a sheep and every afternoon before evening you have to bring another sheep oh my gosh what am I going to tell this house to Wow I mean first you have to explain the sacrificial system once you get through that okay maybe you can talk about what a carbon is car Rev to come close it's a different system it's not what you think it is but once you've worked through that problem or you explained how that's so beautiful how it works why would that inspire somebody to bring a sheep every morning and to bring a sheep every evening and and surely that pales in comparison to the inspiration and that one can gain by speaking about the other Thresh my Israel will be after a comb-over and salable Kim I how could you compare it what's happening why does Ben Paz I feel that is the most important verse in the entire time then cludes everything else and not only that the end of the bender shines like this it says Alma drug Pony there was a certain rabbi there who apparently was at that's discussion we don't go with know his name he's just called rap Loney which means sort of floating means like every band I'm gonna rap Loney certain rabbi stood up a very demonstrative act to stand up and what did he do I would reporting on Raw gloves he stood up on his feet I know he's done his feet it must have just been a rag law he stood up - just to make sure this point is very clear at this point is rag love like the regular egg on its foundation this is foundational VLR and he declared a la cabeza the halacha is like pen bazi the halacha is meaning the final word here is that the most important person the Torah is that you have to bring one sheep in the morning and one sheep in the afternoon the passive and he brings a proof text for it why because it says in the Torah cook or a chef and in Morris as Thomas the Mishkan crane tassel just like God said when he gave the instructions to moshe obey know to build the tabernacle he said all that i have now shown you do it crane toss do it that's his proof text so let's see we can understand this a little bit number one why is this according to Ben path site the most important verse in the turret number two this rabbi who was present declared this in fact is the halacha it Trump's the other three and number three why does he bring this proof text to say the proof is from the Mishkan when God says to Moshe portioning Mara Oh Scott everything I've just shown you cane toss will now go out and do it so to answer this question I'd like to take us to the Mohammed Brock and the Maverick frog we know was the great rabbi you the low low low weight low E who lived in Prague and between the years approximately 1525 to 1609 considered to be maybe the the greatest thinker of the really guess the post medieval ages and his works really infused so much of our thinking today the rafi prague and if you ever visit Prague as many of us did last summer in the summers before we always go to the to the grave to the Kebra of the morrow and always particularly moved when I'm there because I'm such a it's just so intrigued and so have learned and grown so much by the work of them are all so I'm gonna read to you now for what's called the Siva Varia and one of his works called the deceiver the path of Ava's ray or the path of loving a friend so the morale addresses this question and he answers it up and he answers the problem exactly that which we're dealing with right now why is it the most important verse in the Torah this verse that says bring one sheep every morning and every evening how could that possibly be the most important verse in the Torah now I'll tell you if I wish everyone wasn't friendly right that we weren't doing this unzoom I would ask you to tell me we could talk about it but it's gonna be a little bit hard so I think we're gonna go straight to the the answer of them are all the Rahl says like this well Marshall ever been poss-eye as Kevin Curtis of the Booker that was spent as I says you should bring one sheep in the morning once she towards the afternoon late afternoon who clunk girdle vittoriosa and he says that is the cloud girdle that is the most inclusive principle of the entire Torah the most important principle perhaps the knurl says Russell Omar wasn't me to say Marsha autumn Ave - Emma's borough but to me dose a gum or boo Aldo says that which a person serves a chef constantly consistently that's what makes a person into something which we call in ever - em a certain tension commotion los sábados Amina Otto jello rock of Delta median just like a servant and Evatt doesn't ever turn away from his obligation from his master but he serves him constantly but to meet us we called look along as a Kevin sequitas of a Booker and therefore a Shem says I want you to bring a sacrifice every morning and every afternoon and will the emphasis is on the word every always this is a type of service to God which says we don't stop we do it day in and day out including Shabbos Shazaam our carbon to media this is talking about the carbon to meet the daily the continuous carbon the continuous offering shock over Arif domicile Avatara doing something consistently continuously without stop that is the greatest principle for spiritual growth shitake Liseberg oven she autumn ever the college bajo because the whole purpose which is intended in this verse is that a person that a human being in autumn should be an evolutionist borrow should be a servant to a sham quarterly purusa and the rest of tar is just a way to bring it out it's just an explanation idea myths or so or with us borrow the gun ready and for the midst OC learns how to serve God completely whilst teaching us I think something just amazing the most important version of Torah is the verse that says you have to do something continuous continuously constantly every day and two reasons reason number one is that force makes a person an effort god I'm never on vacation from you I'm always aware of you I'm always alert to you and what you want from me it's continuous it's constant and that's what it means to be an evolution and that's our job in this world is to say God I want what you want and the way we demonstrate that is by saying god I'll never take off from that I'm never on vacation from that I'm always there to say what do you want from me and I demonstrate that but doing it every single day morning and afternoon morning so to speak when when we're awake we're beginning our day and towards the end of the day when we've had success and we turn to God now and realize you to all you also and I have to thank you or maybe we have difficulties and we have to turn to God and say I need you more but this aspect of doing something continuously and constantly is what really creates us to be that ever - am to be that servant of God and to the greeter which we're a servant of God and saying god it's not about me it's not about my desires my wants in this world it's about you I'm here for you if I know I'm here for you of course I'm gonna love my friend if I know I'm here for you of course I'm gonna actual eyes my potential if I know I'm here for you of course I'm gonna look to see the unity of this world to see while you're speaking to me and everything now there's one this cuz I'm here for you I'm yours I'm your effort and that's brought out by the fact that we do something day in and day out the Corbin town meeting the cabbage Eckhart the poker in the afternoon that's tomorrow's explaining to us that's why but paths I feels this is the most important concept to Tara to do something that says God I am in your effort I'm your servant I'm gonna do it with consistency and I think perhaps the second point is how valuable it is to do something consistently the way we grow spiritually in this world is we keep exercising those spiritual muscles on a daily basis we're consistent in what we do we just keep doing it and sometimes we know we don't always feel in the moment we do it anyway but doing it where something is happening I'm doing what I need to do kind of aware of you I mind my head might been fully there but I'm gonna try I'm flexing those muscles I'm gaining something I'm putting you in focus I'm saying I'm gonna try on what do you want for me I'm gonna do try now of course the times when we feel very exalted and we do it with even more Kevon and more intention and more more feeling but it's the consistency that allows us to truly grow and I you know I would just add to that and say you know I think there's nothing we'd love war about ourselves that were consistent in everything life I think there's nothing more than that discourages us when we we have a beautiful idea and we don't live up to that idea we're not consistent with it you know we might talk about let's say not speaking Russian hora or you know or forbidden words and then we fail and we fall and we we're not consistent we don't live up to that beautiful ideal that we had or we we make admission to say I want to get up early to Dobbin with a Minney whatever it might be and then we just don't do it or we feel the same way you know anything in life you know we make a committee to set one exercise daily and just let consistent with it how we feel so negative about ourselves yet when we do something consistently we feel so good about ourselves God seems to have wired us in a way in which we crave consistency because consistency really is what enables us to grow not just physically but to grow spiritually and therefore God wired us in a way that won't work insisted that we just want to be be do that even more so and the deeper for the deeper concept that the the Mirallas bringing out is the idea of course that it's that consistency in action which says to God I am here for you and agree to which we understand the God I'm here to serve you I'm your evidence a Greek to which we devote ourselves to those three beautiful principles that the first part of the mesh the meddars talked about whether it be God's unity loving another or loving ourselves because we're creating the image of God but it's when we realize God I'm Yours I want what you want that's how we really transform ourselves and change ourselves and the whole goal of the Torah of course is to transform ourselves to be that that godlike person that that Hashem knows we can't be you know I just ended with a with a beautiful story that they say the hobbits hi I'm useful mayor Kagan died in 1933 so it says that once he was on a train with the with the brisker of and they were arriving at a town and they noticed that there was a whole platform of people there waiting for the client to greet him to look at him the house client was spiritual giant of the generation and it says that even when he would walk there was the street in Rawdon that that even non-jews would stop just to stare at him they saw enormous spiritual greatness of who he was and so the arrived at the train station and the platform and there's a crowd waiting and the Havas high him gets off the train and he's about to say a few words and there's a man yells out and says quiet the Havas Haim is gonna speak and the whole place is still is hushed I was crime had a very soft little voice and the whole place is just quiet waiting to to drink up every word that the cops kind would say but before the club's crimes spoke he turned to the brisket rub and he said the disc of rough you know I want to tell you something when I was a young man I had ideas and visions I had a vision I wanted to change the world I felt that I could go and I could speak and I could give over Torah to so many people and I could elevate the lives and just change them so I went for place to place nobody came out to hear me nobody came out to listen so I changed my approach I went back to the Beit Midrash I went back to my study hall in fact the whole time did he went back and he he sat in there with Cole the others notion which is a living section and he spent the next 16 years writing probably the most seminal work that we utilize today and study whether it be the mission of Breuer which deals with the laws of daily conduct whether it be though all the the laws that this farm he wrote about of loshon Hara which is called the cops kind based on those laws or whether it be the work Volken and coach him that he felt so dedicated to because he knew that the basin movie needs to rebuilt then we have to study the laws sacrified the sacrificial system the club's kind is really that transmitter of of that that link to the net the previous generation but the covers kind of turned to the Briscoe Robin he said when I was a young man I thought I could change the world I realized I was wrong I realized something is even more important change yourself and people will change with you work on yourself become that great human being people will be so inspired by who you are that they too will change and when people change that's how you change the world don't try to change the world change yourself and the world changes with you and maybe that's what Ben sa is saying it's one thing to have these beautiful ideas of God's oneness of love of who we are create the divine image but those ideas are really only a value if we say and we change ourselves by saying God I want to be what you want me to be I want to be your servant I want to do something daily to show it I don't leave my position I'm Yours that's how we change ourselves and we change yourselves of course we can incorporate those beautiful visions and ideas into our lives and that's why that rabbi who was at that meeting he stood up and he said the halacha is like Ben Bozza that's the way to do it consistency being God's servant and he quotes a verse and he says just like God said this is the tabernacle that I'm showing you what has to look like but that the verse ends the moral says the crane tassel and this is what you must do it's not enough just to know and see and have an idea you have to do something about it and when you do something about it that's how you bring that idea out to action in terms of the soft perfection that the Torah wants from us of course he wants us to have to recognize God's unity of course he wants us to love and to love another of course he wants us to recognize how great we are creating as you've got but the way we bring that out to action is by doing paint Asif what does it mean to do morning and evening constantly consistently doing activities we called mitzvot that allow us to live these beautiful ideas and of course when we live it we incorporate it to we heart into who we are and that's that we indeed change ourselves and live up to being that person of course the guy created us to be I wish everybody a wonderful week and of course if anyone has any insight to what I'm saying and comments I'm more than happy to see them I'd love to hear them he could really feel free to to put it to what sapne you know or to send me an email and I'd be happy to respond to it as well which one derful weekend looking for the tenure in our discussion next Tuesday
