So in Florida, There's that, and then there's the ability to prove a DUI, which is the way they prove it in most trials, because most cases that go to trial don't have a breath sample.

The way they prove it is the state has to present evidence that you were impaired, that your normal faculties were impaired.

And there's actually a part of the jury instruction that talks about what impaired means.

And impaired means diminished in some material respect.

feelingWhen you were an ambassador, was it scary representing Israel?

So, so there are things that are a little bit scary, I have to tell you.

If you were giving an interview on a big news program, I don't know if they still have, like, Hard Talk or those sorts of programs, and you know that everybody is watching you, or maybe even you're giving a speech to a very large audience and you know there's journalists there, and if you say the wrong thing, it's gonna be in all the papers the next day, that can be quite a scary thing.

But, but most of the time I didn't feel that.

Most of the time I really felt it was, it was a privilege.

You know, it really felt, you know, um...

So when I first came to London, you have, if you're an ambassador, you have to do something that's called presenting your credentials.

And what did you learn about how to make peace?

Just explain to us what is Jewish about what feels a very universal thing, storytelling.

Um, so if I can just zoom out a little bit.

Um, the broad thesis of the book is that we should look into our tribal traditions, which we tend to think of as, as bodies of instinct that pull us apart, to try and find those insights and instincts that can pull us together.

And, and I suggest to everybody to do this, and I have to say one of the most moving things since publishing the book has been somebody sent me a, a screenshot of a Palestinian blogger who uploaded pages of the book because he found them meaningful to him, which was, was very moving to me.

But I think every, every faith tradition and tribal tradition.

But along with that, I do have a sense that the Jewish argument tradition, which began about two thousand years ago, is particularly relevant to some of the challenges we're facing today.

And, and the point that I make is that, that I think the reason is that it came about because of a social crisis that is very similar to the social crisis that we're facing today.

How would those two people, let's say a, a mother and a son, how would they talk to each other if they wereDrawing the distilled lessons from your book

With three men on the call right now, I can, yes,

yes.

So first of all, I am, you know, you're probably not at this stage yet, either of you, but I am at the very joyous stage where I now see my kids having to navigate this with their own kids.

So actually, there is a certain type of sweet revenge that takes place.

Although I have to say, I think I see them doing it probably better than I did.

But maybe I'll take this question to a slightly more charged space, because one of the questions that I do get asked a lot, particularly when I speak to Jewish communities outside of Israel, is how we navigate conversations within families that are divided, particularly over Israel.

And that is, you know, as important as ice cream is, you know, that is probably a more acute issue facing many families today.

The idea that we can stand true in our own convictions, but also make space for the convictions of others.
