Happy Easter [Music] foreign [Music] okay foreign uh be as far as I said respect the cash don't check here is Arabia hey baby foreign [Music] foreign [Music] I know issue [Music] foreign [Music] I'm scared [Music] yeah foreign [Music] foreign [Music] okay [Music] thank you so welcome Services now before it kind of starts today's Thursday parking across the street over 11 Appliance mentioned I just want to at the outset note that uh the the person we're going to be focusing on today is Sarah schneer her vision for the Revival of Kali Israel and um as as always we as for many years we focus our our discussion during the kinis about someone who was involved in the qurban and the Binion of Kal Israel in in the destruction the failure of the Jewish people and and their rebirth in our time of which she certainly certainly as we will versus Hashem as you already know and as we will hopefully learn more and appreciate more this morning was was a critical Express appreciation to a few individuals who were very helpful to me to Dr Leslie Ginsburg Klein right here of Baltimore of of malot who's done a lot of work on on this subject to revitancy plural Weinberg of North Woodmere to very good friend Davi Safir that was helpful to me and to the written many many wonderful written works including especially the work of Naomi zeidman of pearl vanish of Rachel mannequin and uh and of other students and peers who we will be quoting of of sarish near I also want to make note at the outset in on the day when we mourn over you shall I am we of course we of course have to consider and focus and think about you shall I the direct subject matter of today is not so much focused on that but it's it's it's in our mind and I don't mean it just in some token way in the background first of all as every as every Tish above we understand that every discussion of qurban every discussion of a Jewish failure feeds into that it comes from and it continues the Quran whether it is the absence of our proper recognition of Hashem whether it is the absence of our ability to heal the divisions of Sina srinam of needless hatred which destroyed the second base amigdush and second and most specific the the the level of Cena the level of hatred and division which has come into play in earth's Israel today these days is something which needs to be on our mind someone who who I work with closely said to me I don't know from my read of what people are talking about what people are talking about on social media channels it's not really on the minds of people of people here and that's something that has to be recognized and something that has to be addressed uh erits Israel erits Israel as it is in the Jewish people in Earth Israel are Ground Zero they're the center of claw Israel today center stage they're the center of the Jewish future and the divisions which are occurring there are dramatic and traumatic and something which which we need to pray of course to be healed we also need to think and we need to to to to to to consider the attitudes that all of us have here and there that can be used to fix it I think that some of the discussion today would perhaps be helpful for a general mindset change around it even if we only invoke it sparingly uh finally as you know we don't say all of the Keynes I like to just give you like advance notice of the ones we will say as we will say them the first two that we will say after our first introductory comments are the eighth Kina and the eleventh Kina dead the first ones on Art in the art school page 162 the current page
