Parshas Shelach with Rabbi Yehoshua Weber

Okay. Yeah. >> [snorts] >> So, um I think the topic that I sent out was um Moshe and Yeshua more similar than you think. I'd like to explore that, use that um as, you know, in terms of exploring Moshe and Yeshua, but also as a segue into exploring midrashim in general. But the the focal point is going to be Moshe and Yeshua. And I think more than people realize, just the pesukim themselves present two very, very similar figures that really parallel one another. And and these pesukim, you know, let's go through them together as a group and and see and once you see once you've seen it, it's a type of thing that can't be unseen. It sort of speaks for itself. So, let's start at the top of the page. So, um Vayer Mal Hashem I love Hakadosh Baruchu appear. This is to Hakadosh Baruchu's appearance to Moshe Rabbeinu. Um beginning of Sneh and there's and there's division of the of the Sneh and the ohel, the bush that burning. And Hakadosh Baruchu tells Moshe Rabbeinu shal na'alecha me'al raglecha. Ki hamakom asher atah omed alav admas kodesh hu. You're standing on holy ground. Take your shoes off your feet. I guess it sort of evokes the Beit Hamikdash, right? Where um you can't have a a um a barrier between your feet and and and admas kodesh. So, that's Moshe Rabbeinu. Hakadosh Baruchu's appearance to Yeshua towards the beginning of of Sefer Yeshua is something very similar. He's about to go into battle. They have actually not been as successful as they should have been. And Hakadosh Baruchu tells Yeshua Sar Tzva Hashem al Yeshua shal na'alecha me'al raglecha. Um and what's interesting is it's not really admas kodesh, right? He's um it's not Yerushalayim and it's not Har Sinai. So, I guess maybe because Hakadosh Baruchu is appearing to him. But how come the broker appears to other people? How come the broker just a few weeks ago we saw Shimshon's parents, right? There's no So not every time a college broker appears do we have the phraseology shall not let her. We have it by these two figures. Now it could be just one incident, but as you travel through their life stories you'll see more and more incidents. For example, When does Moshe Rabbeinu when does Moshe Rabbeinu really cement himself as a leader of cloud Israel? When does the pasuk tell you that they are mean of a sham of a my shove day? Right, which which is crazy right? When does Joshua cemented as a leader of cloud Israel? After the splitting of the yard day. See you have the splitting of the sea which cements both Moshe as a leader and Joshua as leader. Look at the language, okay? Fourth source from the top that will be solely so and just the language of crazy you'll soon see is very much like the Yancey of crazy yard. Tell them they should travel even though the water and split it. It's a little bit of a curious term in his analysis, but tell them to travel even though the water and split and then the water splits by Yancey also the other I saw a sham in Israel and the year of the amino by sham over my shove day. You have very similar crazy ology by Joshua towards the end of say Joshua. So even before the splitting the way it was with Moshe I am with you. That's powerful. And then when it comes to splitting of the yard and the arm burst by how you can know the pasuk like look at the end of six give us Joshua Israel cash for your most call you my higher. >> So, I mean, these are parallel stories. But, they really go on and on. I want to share and again, this is going to be a midrash. You have to decide what you want to do with midrashim. I actually you know, live with somebody in the morning this today, you know, we were struggling a very, very bright person. Um, but he was struggling not this midrash, but I'm going to share this midrash with you and I want you to take it. So, we [snorts] know the story of Moshe Rabbeinu being placed in the in the in the Nile River, right? That that really defines Moshe Rabbeinu. Coming out of the water she drew There's a midrash written by the Vilna Gaon's son that tells us the story of Yehoshua's birth. And what's really interesting is the midrash starts with Yehoshua's name. So, Yehoshua is Yehoshua ben Nun. What does Nun mean in Aramaic? Nun in Aramaic? Muscle, Nun is fish. And so, what does the midrash tell us? That Yehoshua after his birth was also placed in a basket in the river. Now, I want you to see the midrash with me and you tell me how we learn midrashim and how we teach midrashim. I want you to see the midrash together. Rav Palom, Av shel Yehoshua. Anyone read? It'll just be easier for me, you know, if I have your feedback. Av shel Yehoshua. Yehoshua's father Dar b'Yerushalayim lived in Yerushalayim. Ve'isha Karah, his wife is Nakarah. Va'yeitzei u'mispel anoch Yisrael v'yeitzei u'mispel. The husband and wife davened facing one another. V'karasa u'miskana bocha. When she became pregnant, there was tremendous angst. The husband began crying and she said, "Why? I'm pregnant. You know, we've waited for years for this. We haven't had a child for years and I'm finally pregnant. And he tells her, I had a terrible dream, okay? They told him maybe in a vision, maybe in a dream as a navua. The child who was born is going to chop off his father's head. The child will kill his father, okay? When he gave birth she gave birth to a child you know he was a boy. She took a little basket and she smeared it with with pitch and with tar and but toss him she placed the child into the river. Now, this is the beginning of the midrash will continue. What's curious about the midrash? What's the starting point? Of Yeshua. So this is a midrash of the Vilna Gaon's son collected from some source so it's a very authoritative source. So the mid- what? Right, but I'm just saying these are Right, but I'm just saying what but the Vilna Gaon's son was was a very very wise man, right? He knew that Yeshua's parents didn't live in Yerushalayim, right? And he What? Well, two pieces there. And the back. It's good maybe. It's maybe good. God in his wisdom has, you know, there's there's wisdom here. So what was the writer of the midrash thinking? What was he telling us? He knew that Yeshua's parents didn't live in Yerushalayim, probably knew that there's no river outside Yerushalayim. Um, The answer is the Midrash itself. Right. And and then the Midrash sort of brings together so many figures. It talks about um um davening nocha hishtay, that sort of evokes Rif Geniyatskhak. There's um And it goes on and on and on and on and on. So again, what is what is the author of this Midrash trying to do? Is he trying to tell us something that happened? >> He tells bunch of stories there. >> But but what why is he doing this? Right? Again, there's there's a message here. There's a motive. What is the motive? The motive is simply to sort of create a connection between Moshe and Yehoshua. Known as an uncommon name, it evokes Is Is this really what happened? But again, if you want to say this is what really would happened, then Yehoshua's parents lived in Yishulayim. And the story becomes even odder because um what happens just to know what Yehoshua's life story um Yehoshua was put in a basket in the river. He floated on the river. He's adopted by some by the non-Jewish king. He becomes an executioner for the king. Kills his father. Um he is hired to execute his father. And the rule of thumb then is when you executed somebody when you when you were the executioner, you ended up I think there's there's a term for it, maybe a Roman term. You ended up um acquiring the person's entire estate. He acquired the person's house and wife. And his mother his um deceased father's wife, he had killed his father, became his property and he attempted to be with her. And when he tried being with her, the smell of Kalamita um whole of the entire bed became full of milk. And he thought that his mother is a witch. This And his mother then told him, "I'm I'm your mother." And this is the story. Now again, it's the oddest of stories. You have to decide why you what you want to do with it. But I I think you you'll you'll that the author of this Midrash is trying to accomplish something. Is it conveying fact? And it it's really not a nice story about Yeshua. He kills his father. He almost has relations with his mother. Seems like his mother knew what was good What? Right. So, it's But then what's the point? If you write a book of fiction that's interesting, you'll read it, right? So, you'll write a a novel, but why is the author writing this? Unless it it was the way that people wrote things. They wanted to inspire people. They wanted to create connections. They were very, very determined to create a connection between Moshe and Yeshua. Well, here we have the curious name Nun, fish, let's create a story about Yeshua being in a river. Oh, there That's That's also built in. Um there's there's Yona cuz he's swallowed by a fish. There's a lot I mean, I just I So, >> I don't think it's said as historical. It's got a Right. >> Absolutely. Right. So, what So, but they want if it's secrets that we can't figure out ourselves, then there's no point to it, right? So, also Right. Right. Right. So, maybe they want us to extract ideas, and maybe the idea they want us to extract is that Yeshua life parallel Moshe's in many, many ways. And here we're doing this. Now, Yeshua's it's not Moshe wasn't his only inspiration, all of us, right? All of us live our own lives, but all of us live our lives within the context of parents and teachers and mentors and role models because we're formed by many, many people. So, when I'm living my life, I'm also living my father's life. I'm living my grandfather's life. I'm living I'm living the lives of all the people who impacted me, who formed me because they're all part of my life. So, this might be just saying, you know, there's a lot about Yeshua that evokes Moshe. So, let's add a Moshe component. Um maybe there's also um components of Yeshua that evoke Yitzchak, maybe, because we we create a Yitzchak connection. We can explore what about your four books. Um Yitzchak Yitzchak is very low-key. You're sure maybe I'm just exploring this with And there's something very sure that evokes Yona. Yona is very reluctant to engage in this mission. You're sure also Chazak u'Matz. We bring all of these figures together. It's just a beautiful way of saying Yo- Yoshua carries characteristics from all these people. >> A lot of people are reluctant to go on a mission. That's pretty common. >> I think Yona is >> Yeshaya is reluctant to go on a mission. >> True. True. I >> reluctant to go on a mission. >> Right. I think Yona Yona I I wonder if it's Yona the most reluctant I would think. Um I mean he runs away from Hakadosh Baruchu. >> Yeshaya is reluctant to go on a mission and the same with Moshe. >> Right. Right. But Yona flees, right? So um >> Yeshaya is written in that order. >> So maybe you know maybe they're references here to Yeshaya that you know maybe within the the context. But but they're references they're carefully chosen. If you respect me as you know again and again I I respect it as much as you you as you would respect a well-written article. If there's a well-written article in whichever newspaper, you would think the author put time and effort in. So respect it at least as much and more. What? >> It was written in the Torah. >> Right. Right. So there is you know we're we're we're paralleling um Yona, we're paralleling Yitzchak, we're paralleling Moshe because there are pieces of all of these figures that you see in Yoshua's life. Um the he he he reminds us of them. Now they didn't all precede him. Yona succeeded him. But but there are pieces of all of these people in Yoshua and maybe that's what this measure is trying to tell us. But this is just the beginning of the parallels. Let's continue. Um and some of this again I I I don't have absolute clarity. We'll develop this together. Look at source 10. L'chaim u'Min Yishvanus. Um um The Kohen Midian had seven daughters. They go to the well and of course they're assaulted there and Moshe protects them and he marries Zipporah. Now, it's a little bit curious because Mosha is our leader, but he's marrying outside our community. She joins our community, but still, you know, he's marrying her in her community. And there's really no indication there that she joined our community at that point in time. There are actually strong indications that she did not join, right? >> There's no indication that she ever did, right? >> What? >> indication that Zipporah ever joined. >> So, there's actually an interesting even caspy There's actually this with you and me see together. There are those who say, again, it's a re-shown. It's a little bit out of the box, but it actually is the simple reading of the text. We we have this discussion about Yeshua, about Mosha Bayno having a relationship, marrying at Cushite's at the end of just recently, end of our spell. And who is this Cushite? So, we're accustomed to Rashi that it's Zipporah. It's a little bit curious why is she named as Zipporah and why is Zipporah Cushite? What's black about her? So, the even caspy tells you that Zipporah mart about Zipporah left him. Um there was a divorce, and he married someone instead of Zipporah. And the truth is, it's actually the simplest reading of the pasukim. Yisro comes to join Mosha Bayno. It's really hard. He's coming from a different world. He's at a mature stage of life. And Mosha tells him, "No, we are not going to walk on." We just read this, right? And there's no more applying the Torah. We don't know who what Yisro did. We're assuming this person is Yisro. He's called Yisro, but is he Yisro? Is that But maybe it's maybe that's Yisro. But one reading is is that Yisro went back home. It was just too difficult. He might have remained a monotheist. He might have absorbed our ideas. And if he went back home, what did Zipporah do? >> Did Zipporah leave? >> [clears throat] >> There's Could be. Because what's curious is Mosha has two children. We read about their births. >> him or did he leave >> She left her husband. >> Right. Right. So, initially she stayed behind, right? Moshe goes to join with Mitzrayim. She's coming and again what we read actually means that is that Aaron sees her coming and says, "Why bring her? It's so difficult. People are being abused. They're slaves." So, Moshe says, "Yes, it's good. Let us stay." But she she seemed to She joined him at Har Sinai. Did she join before Kabbalah or after Kabbalah? We can debate that also, but with the passage it's explicit that um it's Zipporah and the two boys that come with, but did they stay part of Moshe's life? Now, what's really interesting is is that they're never mentioned. Never mentioned. And not only are they not mentioned, there's a deliberate attempt to show you that they're not part of Moshe or Aaron's life. I want to read you to lead you and you must have noticed this, okay? 15, okay? >> [snorts] >> Um look at 15. Um page two. Moshe and Aaron as Moshe and Aaron. These are the children of Aaron and The Moshe and Aaron. And these are the children of Aaron. What do you do with this? Um The passage deliberately tells you these are Moshe and Aaron's children. And then we don't mention Moshe's children. We only mention Aaron's children. What what is the passage telling us? So, we'll say cuz I'll tell you well, Aaron's children are Moshe's children because I'm a loving then you know, um uh uh um um then or after Torah it's a kilo you know, it's a birth for sure, but that doesn't explain why Moshe's children aren't mentioned. Unless they they are wrong. But >> [clears throat] >> But the passage is explicit in saying these are Moshe's children. So, it's almost as if we're trying to highlight. So, you could say maybe they weren't all together. They They just didn't That would be one answer, but another a thought-provoking answer working with this even Caspi Menachem, if Yeshua went back and Tziporah married the bow, Tziporah did not stay part of his life, then perhaps the children also. Now, why is this so? So, Moshe may not have had his children. What does that remind you of? So, what do we say about Yeshua? Yeshua didn't have children or sons that um Yeshua in the story of the Meraglim this week Yeshua doesn't assert himself. Caleb does. In the end, Yeshua does, but initially um Caleb asserts himself. Yeshua does not assert himself. Why doesn't Yeshua assert himself? So, maybe he's lower key than Caleb. Maybe he's viewed as Moshe's protege, so therefore he's partial to Moshe. That's really not such a strong answer because Caleb is also partial. Caleb is Moshe's brother-in-law. Right? Maybe he's But, he's probably not so young. He's Moshe's Maybe. For sure. If Caleb is That's a good answer. I actually didn't think of that. If Caleb is Miriam's husband, he's quite likely Miriam is Moshe's older sister, um maybe 7 years old. That's how we have it. So, Caleb is very mature man. Um so, it could be um seniority. Um could be Yeshua is is so But, what Chazal say is Yeshua You don't want to say something if it's not going to be productive. When something is important, you want the most productive person to make the point. Yeshua was, they say, a bar mitzvah age. He didn't have sons, which means his boys wouldn't be fighting in a war. And if your boys aren't fighting in a war, and anyone who entered Israel was going to fight a war. How do you conquer land? By fighting a war. So, who were you to speak? So, Yeshua, not that his his kids were evading their responsibility. No one would evade the responsibility. But, um but, um he just didn't have sons, and that made him There was less skin in the game. And because of that, he was quite he was a bark tea. So, and that also creates a certain parallel of Motormayno, whose children just aren't there. Okay? Now again, did they go back with Tziporah? Could that's the simplest reading. So, there was a matter of about a great grandson who was a problem for the community, right? Who who Um Right, which is taken out. But but there's a strong but even if Moshe's sons went back with Yisro, where did they go? So, they went back to Midian. But what happened to Midian? So, there's that story with um with Yisro going back to Dos No Shelly Yirecho, settling there in Yisroel. How did he come to Yisroel? So, the truth is it makes a lot of sense. Midian is an area right adjacent south sorry, the desert south of Yisroel. They went a little north and there's talk about when um we talk about Yael. Yael is living in the area of the Kayni. That's one of the names for Yisro. So, Yisro might have maintained some type of Jewish identity. Tziporah and the boys may have maintained some type of Jewish identity and they may have gone back to Midian, which bordered Yisroel and they might have connected with Yisroel. It's actually a wonderful I share this with you. I'm I'm going to send you the article that I'm going to send you as well about um I don't remember who wrote it. But there's a lot of interesting discussion about how when Yehoshua entered Yisroel, there were some areas where you had to fight and there were some areas where there was no fighting. He seemed to be able to enter without fighting. Why would some areas welcome him? So, the supposition and my idea I I don't remember the the authors of the idea, but a few is that there were communities in Yisroel that were proto-Jewish communities and that was the discussion we had Menachem where and you you might have wondered about this yourself. I don't know that you've heard good answers. Jacob had how many sons? 12. How many daughters? So we only know of Dinah. But he had no other daughters? Could be no other daughters. So there are midrashim that they had 12 daughters and 24 daughters and they all married his sons, right? How many granddaughters did he have when he went down to Egypt? Only Serah is mentioned. Right. So he had no granddaughters and no daughters. There were no girls possible, right? So there's a Netziv. Then the Netziv says he also had two girls. But but um when they went there to Israel when they went down to Mitzrayim, the men defined the family. The woman did not. Well, okay. So they they're not listed because they didn't define the family. But did none of them marry? So again, there's a midrash about the shvatim all marrying their sisters and but another midrash says no, they didn't do that. That's very odd, very strange. They married Canaanite girls or they married girls who weren't Canaanite or they came from a different world. So what happened to all of Jacob's granddaughters and daughters? Who did they marry? Canaanite, right? Seems so odd. Or maybe it's And maybe if Canaanite were odd, so they married, you know, other um nations that weren't Canaanite. But what happened to them? So the Netziv says they went down to Egypt. But others would say in a world that is patriarchal where a woman marries her family, she may have remained behind in the old world because a woman stayed with her husband. If they remained behind in the old world, they might have created proto-Jewish communities that remained in Israel even when we went down to Mitzrayim. And when we went back to Israel, we reintegrated with them. >> years later. >> They maintained their identity. That's not so odd. And then suddenly there's a whole world of midrash that you may have heard about Bnei Ephraim who left Egypt early. Do you remember these madrasim? Where are these madrasim coming from? Maybe they were um I think maybe the author is is Yoel ben Nun, I don't remember. I mean the proto-Jewish Oh, he's good. Oh, all right. No, I was just So, just type proto-Jewish communities um and you'll see. Now, why am I sharing this with you? I don't even know how I got involved. Oh, so if Yisro went back and we do have in the world of Midrash, Yisro was Qeni who maintained some type of Jewish identity. Well, how is he maintaining some type of Jewish identity? There were some proto-Jewish communities because Yaakov was such a powerful figure. His sons married women and brought them into the fold. His daughters married out of the community, but the family was strong. They were like Chabad houses in Israel. All right. Right. I is. Yeah. Now, that would be the most controversial thing we said here. So, suddenly there's another connection between Yisro and Moshe. Yit um between Yehoshua and Moshe. Yehoshua is a barren here, there are no sons. And because of that he's silent when um when, you know, he can't count to them right away because people say, "Well, you're not afraid cuz your sons aren't going to fight in war." And Moshe's sons are just not part of the equation, they're not part of the picture. No matter what happened to them, it's just curious. Let's continue. Um let's get back to um Yisro's wife um Moshe's wife. He marries Tzipora. Who does um Yehoshua marry? Right? Why? What are we basing this on? What motivates us? Doesn't say that in the pasuk, right? Doesn't say anything in the Torah. And the truth is the idea of uh of Yehoshua marrying Rachav is so uncomfortable. Rachav, the pasuk tells you is a zona. And it's really hard not to translate it to zona to mean a a >> [snorts] >> So, there were some of the shidduchim Right. And mocheres mizonos, pundakois. And there are those who say that. Um but the Torah used the word zona for a woman who has bad relationships. Now, could be by the time Yoshua is the language is a little different. But I mean, she has a house um at the edge of the city. Why do they take refuge in her house? A prostitute's house? A place where men can go and they're not, you know, and and sort of be a little bit anonymous. That's what it's about. >> the secrets. She hears the >> She hears the >> She hears the secrets as as a But but this is all something that would be more of a, you know, a zona. Um of pundakois. And the Gemaras are so um uncomfortable that she was mizonos for years and she was and and Yoshua marries her. So, could be. But it's a it's a little bit Yoshua is an old man. He's for sure 60, right? Chazal say it was 100. So, the whole thing is curious. But if we're trying to match Yoshua with Moshe Rabbeinu, Moshe marries out of the faith. He marries the daughter of an oved avodah zara. Yoshua marries out of faith. Brings the woman in as Moshe did, marries a woman who was a zona. You got Znos, you got avodah zara, and both of our leaders are bringing them in. So, if we're trying to create parallel figures, it ties in beautifully. Parallel in um in Kriat Yam Suf. Parallel in being recognized. Parallel in terms of being put in a basket in the river. Parallel in terms of not having sons or losing relationship with their sons. Parallel in terms of the women they marry. We have both married women who are just a little bit outside the box. Each with an unsavory past. Different types of unsavory pasts. Avodah Zara and Znos are both really unsavory pasts. And parallel midos. Moshe's defining idea is is that he's on of me colada. Very hard to translate the word on of. I I I don't translation is is an inexact science, right? But let's try to translate it together. on of >> It's humble. >> Humble, right? [snorts] Do we discuss this also? I don't know. So let's work with the first two letters. What are other words like I and N? What? >> E and N. >> E and N, what is E and N? >> It has different meanings. >> It has different meanings, but they would all relate. So affliction, what is also E and N in terms of what else? E and N is a poor person. E and N, what else? >> That's the right word. >> When a woman's relationship with a man, right? So in many people's minds E and N is is rape when a man, you know, violates, but it's certainly not only that. Share exists only. E and N means a woman's relationship with a man in a positive way or a negative way is E and N. So you have E and N, a poor person, afflict, a woman's relationship with a man, and what is E >> He's trying to tell you something. The more you get poor. >> Well, we'll we'll get a little further, but what is its probably most common use? Vayan la nos, what does that mean? So what is what what is the common denominator between all of them? I and N. It means when you >> pass through >> Pass through or I think subservient or open, being receptive. You have to answer. A woman in a relationship with a man is is the receptive one. It's not um the man is the more active party, right? That's the nature of the relationship, right? Um in terms of being afflicted, being being without. It [snorts] doesn't necessarily A and N being without. I I think they all interconnect. So what does on of really mean? You know, we translate humble, um but we you know, translation is always an inexact science. On of me colada means humble, right? But but maybe it just means not needing motion gives space to other people. Subservient? Um, it's like a humble might be the right word, might be the closest word. But, I think just have a sort of a deeper view, I think connecting with all of these and at the end they humble might be the right word. But, what is what is what is Joshua's basic defining characteristic? What do we know about Joshua? At the when Joshua is being pointed, what is he told by Mike from I know? Khazak v'amatz. What is he told in safe Joshua when he enters out to Israel? Khazak v'amatz. When do we see Joshua being it becoming excited, becoming forceful? What is the one incident where Joshua becomes forceful? When? Eldad and Medad, right? There are these two navi'im who are snob Machna. There are two people who are asserting themselves and attempting to replace Moshe in in in Jewish it's is that Moshe is going to die and you're to Well, they were two Right, and he didn't want cuz that was taking away from Moshe Rabbeinu. So, Joshua is is very, you know, is also an anav. So, you have you have these parallels that play themselves out again and again and again between Moshe Rabbeinu and Joshua. What are we trying to do here? What are Hazal trying to do? They're trying to paint a picture Right. And and right and maybe they're really trying to tell us what leadership skills are. It means giving room to other people. It means I would venture to say if you want to travel through this, a leader and this I think this is an important idea. Again, our community does not really think this way now. You know, Moshe is deliberately placed as far outside normal the normative Jewish community as imaginable. Adopted by a non-Jewish princess. Raised in the house of a non-Jewish princess. Interfacing maybe with the Jewish community for a while, but then having to flee to Midian with his non-Jewish name, right? We discussed his name. His name is a non-Jewish name, marrying the daughter of a non-Jewish priest. That's what Hakadosh Baruchu wanted. But why don't you choose a a Yeshiva boy from the community? Why are you One more time? So it always comes from right, but here it's so um David is you know there are seeds of sin that you know where the purpose is good, but here it's about being outside the community. Um correct pick correct lashon hara on the righteous one instead of you speak our language. He was he was so long he does he's outside our community. And maybe I would just offer an idea here that it's a personal reading. Really reflects personal sentiment. I mean if to be a good leader you need to take other ideas. If you know your community, your community knows your community. What are you adding to the community? Your community knows your community. So if you come back with the same of Ki VaYega that well, we know this, right? You're going to go ahead and be an effective leader you need to have ideas from other systems. Otherwise what what are you adding to the community? Right. And we're doing the same to Yehoshua, placing him outside the community. Again, he's he's the next generation. So he grows up in the community. But with with coming to Eretz Yisrael, Moshe needs to interface with Egypt. So we connect them with people, whether it's Pharaoh's daughter or whether it's Midian who may have been underneath Egypt's tutelage. Um enter Eretz Yisrael, we'll need to enter into that Canaan. So we'll inter- connect Yehoshua with the Canaanite leader, a woman who understood the world, Dafka, because that will allow us to interface with the community. But the function in the world Right.
