We have dead, we have alive, and we have something in between. The Yotzei min haklal hayo, it went out of the category of alive, with a klal mesulei basar, but it's not in the category of dead. It's nisht hayin nisht hu. I have a shaat for this. For boys I have a shaat. I met a VIP driver from Guy who went to Yeshivas Chofetz Chaim. I looked at him, I said this guy is a great candidate for [music] the daf. I look at him and said, "You went to Yeshiva?" "Yeah." "You learn Torah?" "No." "Right? It hurts you that you don't learn?" Says, "Yeah, every day [music] it hurts me." So what's the problem? You don't know how to learn and where to learn, right? Yeah. I was I was telling them really fast. I was doing the bridge version of my my sale. Nothing but the daf. Very good. Very good. Beautiful. Beautiful. Then I'm learning this sugia and I'm thinking to myself, here's a guy that's breathing, [music] but he's not alive. He's breathing and he's not alive. He knows something's missing. He's married and he feels bad about it. Then he works the whole day and he he knows I I I need to learn some Torah, but I tried this and that was terrible. I tried this thing and it was bad. The Yeshiva failed. All day but I I want to learn, but I DON'T KNOW HOW. HERE. Here's the eitzah. So it's our job to go around and bring more of these people back to Torah. They're everywhere. I bumped into 20 of them on one trip. 20. Sitting there and convincing one after another. Some you're matzliach, some you're not. Some they'll come in a in a few months or a few years. They'll [music] hear from more people. We've got to go get these people. Why? Because they're breathing and they're not alive.
