I've come to discover over the last 5 years, both through Corona and then the war with Israel, that there are people who live in communities where their rabbi has said or participated in things that makes them just feel I I don't connect anymore. Um and therefore I don't want to go to them about my personal things if I don't connect to the way that they're interpreting more global things. And they feel lonely, even within a community, even paying a membership, even showing up in shul, they feel they feel lonely and and bereft of leadership. I think that's important feedback for about a month to give your rabbis cuz I know again we have to continue to remind ourselves that we're not talking to rabbis. But I don't know if this is what you're alluding to, but if a rabbi is going to get up and and make some very, you know, partisan political partisan comments from the pulpit, that may unintentionally or maybe intentionally marginalize certain individuals. If that's how you're feeling in shul, whether he's making comments about politics or anything, I think in respectful ways rabbis would appreciate that sort of feedback. I would. Um worst case scenario is he won't listen. He'll He'll dismiss it, but if he does take it to heart, I love critical feedback. I don't get enough of it. I love it. And then we can adjust. And then we can say, you know, maybe my messaging on global issues is is having the unintended consequence of making people feel that I'm not relatable or they can't connect with me. That would be a terrible price to pay.
