With that, b'chavod, with great honor, Rabbi Brody.

Good afternoon, everyone.

And before anything else, I really want to just begin by thanking Rabbi Ehrman and Rebecca Levy for coordinating and also sustaining this extraordinary daily Tehillim visit call.

You know, what you guys have built is really truly remarkable because day after day, you've created a very special sacred space for Jews from across communities, really across the world, to come together to pray, come together and strengthen unity.

Really, Yashikov, for your incredible work and efforts.

And it's really just an honor to join this remarkable gathering of colleagues from Asia, from all over the world.

Everyone's tuning in today, right now.

Right now, this moment.

So, so what are some insights, what are some thoughts you have, perspectives that you might not have had when you were living here, but now viewing it as a, somewhat of an outsider, you're like, "Oh, I never realized that about American Jewry or Boca"

Sure.

And also, you both know the community that, that I live in, Modiin, and it's a wonderful place.

But it's, it's very different than, than Boca, and it's very different than Boca Raton Synagogue.

Um, just as an example, I'm just thinking after Pesach, you know, w- we would send out an email saying, "Okay, it's time that we, we, we just sold the, we bought back the chametz, and you can go and, go to John's place or wherever." There's no, there's no letter that went out.

And, you know, I'm texting Ovi, I'm like, "Are we allowed to go and buy stuff? Which supermarkets? Which..." Because there's no, there's no center.

There's no, there's no, um, group, uh, that, that seems to be calling the shots on really anything.

He's, like, marching right up there, taking over the bimah.
