being here tonight
Thank You Ellis I'm so impressed that
you and your wife are able to give to
Claro tonight era Pesach and especially
in such a time of era place ask the
availability to be able to help people
get ready fiance's color kavod you
should be benched thank you will
basically just jump into the questions
that have come about Pesach I just want
to know if you had any Horace or things
you wanted to point out to start with
well how could we not think about Pesach
this year and it's a very unique manner
under the environment that we live would
we live under this cloud of the covert
of the coronavirus and I think that we
should be
thinking this year Pesach as maybe the
first time in many years a remembrance
we will really feel what I felt like
that year in me tryam where Cairo had
just knock I saw with the Egyptians I
just suffered the 10 Marcus and many
times I think to myself you know the
markets are so incredibly hard to fathom
how entire country could be only getting
blood or frogs all the other markets
were going to be speaking about by the
Seder mr. shell next week and now I
think we could start to realize not just
the country but that entire world could
be afflicted by a Magatha to be
afflicted by this pandemic so we see
that it is able to be understood that
you could have some sort of a pandemic
that affects every single person in the
entire world so if there was a pandemic
that only affected the people in Egypt
that's nothing compared to what a
pandemic
that so worldwide represents but we also
know that at that time a chorus for coup
as easily as he turned on the market
turned off the markets so my thinking is
that as quickly and has how hardly and
terribly we all just woke up to a world
of this pandemic we could wake up to a
world that a chorus Parker will take
away this condemning and high - this and
the amount of least that we just began
last Thursday is the month of Yeshua
says the month of Nissim at certainly
Pesach starting as we get every day
closer to Pesach
it was the time that we celebrated and
enjoyed incredible miracles so we should
tacker
we should hopefully have beyond Mahane
wise man Isaiah just like in those days
they would tell you do a great miracles
we should enjoy great miracles
immediately and enjoy from that the
miracle of freedom and not just freedom
in this virtual sense that we should be
able to do our mitzvahs but freedom from
this terrible sore
from this terrible issue that's facing
us that we should be able to have a real
simple sentence I think your elephant I
just want to mention I'd be remiss if I
didn't think try but you'll on Siegelman
the row of Aquila stars to me my cute
garden sills will also help spearhead
and was the catalyst for making sure
that the oh you could present tonight as
well we'll jump into some of the
questions especially come up kasha
slated Lilith Seder honor available
would you be able to give us you know
people for a lot of times they're making
their first Seder I'm having done it
before what would be the sheer for each
Coast by the by the Seder of the dollar
cosa
okay excellent question and again a lot
of people and I'm sure Elif you're
getting these calls because this is a
new experience for them making their own
Seder
I just told somebody this afternoon I'm
married quite a while and the halacha
discusses that if you don't have any
children to ask you to manage Donna then
your wife should ask you to manage Donna
and I never experienced that when we
first got married with my parents to my
in-laws and Denmark so we have children
and grandchildren but it looks like this
year we're going to be able to say that
just my wife and I and my wife is going
to ask me to manage Donna and so this
year say there is going to be for all of
us or for many of us most of us a new
experience and for many of us it's going
to be the first time I'm going to be
making our own Seder and there's nothing
to be concerned about making your own
Seder is a wonderful wonderful
experience and of course like a bell of
correctly points out the first myth so
that we do as we begin to say there on
Pesach by night is the mitzvah of
kiddush and the midst of the first of
the four cups so we're supposed to drink
four cups of wine D there is a
discussion about how large the cups have
to be the minimum amount is three fluid
ounces the which is the opinion of ref
high of Rome crime law the maximum
amount is the opinion of the cousin ish
which is approximately 5 ounces where my
hell it's 3.3 ounces as the minimum size
where a motion felt that you could for
the first cup you should use a cup that
you should use for points for answers of
why also for the first three cups
whatever of demands that you're going to
use that we just identified you're using
you only have to drink half of that so
we have three ounces as the amount of
wine you need to have you only need to
drink an ounce and a half so even if
you're taking the big amount of the
Kazon issue of five ounces you only need
to do two and a half ounces besides for
the last cup of wine with there you
should drink the entire cup of wine so
again through you it's either three
point three or five for the first or for
the first cup four point four or five
for the first three crops drink half the
cup and for the landscape through the
entire cup okay so we'll get to once
we're talking about the case the
question comes up a lot and actually a
couple people just private message me as
well what's the story with wine versus
grape juice does it have to have alcohol
in it what percentage of alcohol does
have it need to have in it and people
have also said they've heard about grape
shoots being diluted and it's that
contra for dollar cosa well I guess so
wine wine versus grape juice what a
month alcohol doesn't need and is there
difference between using grape juice and
wine okay so let's respond to all of
your questions before they're great
questions and terms of the question of
wine versus grape juice
so why comes with a preference the
reason when wine comes with a preference
is because part of the reason or one of
the reasons we drink four cups of wine
by the cider is to represent that we are
showing that this is the night of
freedom this tonight that was sitting at
the seder representing that we are kings
and princes kings and princes queens and
princesses and just like kings and
queens drink wine to show the freedom to
show their loyalty it's appropriate
to drink wine if possible furthermore if
you can when it says that you have to
drink wine I'm jumping to the other
question rabbi Elif
there's no weird is there any indication
how much alcohol does wine need to have
to be considered wine so nowadays where
you have many of these wines available
with very low alcohol no one that I
discussed this question ever would said
no that there's a minimum amount of
alcohol that the wine has to have to be
considered a wine if it has alcohol in
it
its wine so if you could drink low
alcohol wine that that would be
perfectly fine
there also is a point if at all possible
to try to use red wine during the Seder
unless you prefer for taste white wine
then you could take white wine but I
usually recommend the people who prefer
the white wines they should add a drop
of red wine they should add a drop of
grape juice and then you'll have it's
red so you'll have the right color so
again a low alcohol wine is preferable
if wine is preferable low alcohol wine
is 100% wrong if however even that is an
issue for you so the purpose of the
Seder is not to be a time of difficulty
yes there's a very famous tomorrow the
Gemara says that there was a certain
Tanner who cannot drink wine he wine
affected him badly and he used to have a
headache from Pesach to Lewis from the
wine that he drank at the seder
that's probably because they didn't have
low act with a wine it may be because
this person was particularly sensitive I
don't think that's what the hell Walker
requests of us and therefore if you're
an individual who can't drink wine the
second best advice I could give you is
to mix the wine with grape juice take
grape juice and put some wine into grape
juice if even that doesn't work for you
so then the third option I
then something called must masters grape
juice but it's not the regular greatest
at the bar in the store and the job and
the glass container and the glass bottle
or the plastic bottle which is
pasteurized because once you pasteurize
grape juice that greatest can never be
why the pasteurization retards the
fermentation process so that greatest
can never be won but if you have grape
juice which is must which is more grapes
that were just whoa squeeze and we're
not pasteurized we have to use it
quickly because it's not pasteurized or
only if you want but as long as you it's
still fresh it's something that could
turn into wine
it can ferment into one since it could
ferment into wine the Gemara says cited
other Ashkelon of them
a person could squeeze a cluster of
grapes and you that for downward crisis
for the kiddush so doubt Isis without a
problem so again to his you bestest to
use one even low alcohol wine makes no
difference a little if you can't do that
mix wine and grape juice if he can't do
that
you grape juice which is must if you
can't find that when you can treat that
then drink old-fashioned raisins but
then as you asked for by Ellis there are
individuals that have an issue with
Rican grape juice particularly get this
question all often from people who are
diabetics and the grape juice comes for
a high level of sugar
so what after spending time with the
greatest manufacturers we have
determined that if you take regular
ratings we could still dilute it with a
third water and it still would be
considered full fledged breakfast it
would still be considered grape juice on
which he can make a bundle in Korea
Boston the only type of greatest we I
can't make that recommendation is the
light grape juice because the light
grape juice is already diluted so
they're diluting it further maybe
initially but if you want
you need to use break-ins and you need
to use and you need to dilute the grape
juice you may do so up to a third of
[Music]
okay thank you very much I'm just gonna
interject over here that what about have
a Matt the oh you was just been put onto
a ventilator so we'd like to dedicate
tonight's thought and the retire on
learning to the disclose of course I'm
three for three
been risk grits real oarfish lame-o as
we as we continue going about the Seder
a little bit about matzah there seems to
be some confusion out there some people
are adamant only to use machine matzah
some are adamant don't use hand matzah
what's the difference between two is
their cashiers difference what should I
be looking for well of course there are
everything when it comes to taste that
has to do with and hog everything when
we speak about basic has to do with
customs and I always tell people that
they should follow their customs because
we know we were speaking and we're going
to speak and we should speak about the
different mixtures that we perform on
the night a pace that had to Seder who
spoke about the cup of the wine already
we were going to speak about the matzah
we're going to speak about many of the
different mitzvahs that we perform at
the Seder
but the most important so that we
perform at the Seder is the middle of
the gadigal of influence of transmitting
to our children our traditions of course
from it transmitting to them the sheep
bleat even trying the story of our
exodus from Egypt it's not just that
it's really transmitting our rich
tradition of what we followed generation
after generation and that's why I always
like to believe that Pesach is such a
holiday is such a young pyth of monogamy
of traditions because nowhere is there
doubtful of info lo er the concept of
transmitting our heritage to our
children more evident than in the area
of mahogany and therefore the question
you asked about Elif is critical
what should you use for Matson matza
there were some communities that only
used hey Madison
certainly they only use hand mats at the
Seder and they only used here matzah for
the duration of the youngest on the
other hand there were communities that G
machine max what's the difference so
when you use mushy matzah there's much
there's obviously no human intervention
and whenever you have human intervention
what's the worst thing that could happen
as you baking Max's the worst thing you
can happen as a weight baking maxis is
to leave the dough on intent unattended
because any moment that the dough is
left unattended it could turn into
hummus so when you're dealing with
humans so it has to pass for one hand to
the other hand from one person to
another person
all of those delays are issues and how
lost the machine if you ever go to match
the bakery regime at some bakery it's
one continuous assembly line with no
staff in the middle on the other hand
particularly the Mets the master that we
eat by the seder where we're baking that
maxsa to fulfill the Mitzvah of eating
matter by the seder and the evening of
matzah by the Seder is a mixed with the
rice so the matter has to be made with
shame mattress Mitzvah so a human being
as they're making the maps of doing the
various activities in the banking of the
max or she go to hell not some bakery
you'll hear them announce mache Max's
Mitzvah they're doing it to fulfill the
mitzvot we're asked when you're baking
with a machine there's obviously a
machine doesn't have any feelings or any
brains and the shame at SAS Mitzvah is
only done when the person when the
operator begins the process so there
some were concerned that that isn't
considered Lache a real shame it's or
when the machine is doing the work and
the machine obviously can't have that
type of intention and that's why there
are people who even though they eat
mushy Macs are on pace
because they say it's 100% culture but
since for the Seder we want to have
matter which is the same at this mixer
many people eat here matches at the
Seder even though they don't eat the
hair matter the rest of Yonkers the
other issue that comes up is the
processing of the flower most flower
most machine maxes the flat hour that's
used for the matter is not cut the grain
is not caught with shame
Maxo it's only later when you start
making the grain into flour that's when
the all the activity is watched it
should be comics that should be used
Samantha and they're people that want
that from the earlier stage of the
preparation of the flower of the grain
for the Maxo that should be done with
Shane Mathers Mitchell and therefore the
flower that's used for ham Max's his
flower was really caught the shaft serie
it was caught with shame at saw whereas
the flower that is typically useful
machine Maksim there are exceptions it
has to be very clear on that box or
machine matzah is not caught the shame
matzah so therefore again in terms of
the lack of human intervention which
could be an advantage in the preparation
of the matzah that's an advantage the
machine Maxo comes with on the other
hand particularly with shame access
Mitzvah is much better fulfilled with
your hair Maxo and also here matzah has
the advantage that it was summer it was
prepared from the kadhi the shame Mitsos
not see so thinking about for the great
explanation between the difference
between the hand and the machine what
would be the shear that a person needs
to fulfill his kiev of both hand and or
machine so when we talk about as DM
master cuz iose and again these are not
exact science of what I'm going to tell
you
I'm going to interject before I answer
your a by Elif with a story that I tell
my children every year by the seder I'm
not sure it's going to happen this year
because of what's going on but every
year better Seder I tell my children
that I had a great great uncle
his name was probably Mancha Steinberg
he was the brother of he lived in the
West Side of Manhattan and he told me
this goes back obviously a very long
time during World War one he was his
family was from Poland from Galicia and
many of the poles Jews took refuge in
Vienna during World War one he said my
great great great grandfather was a
world-famous placing his name was the
max I've wronged of of Ron Steinberg and
during that year of World War one in
Vienna in the decider there were many
great proponent put together in Vienna
and celebrated the Seder that year
together there was my great great
grandfather the massive wrong there was
relationship angle there was Ramaiya
arid these were the greatest
placed him you don't lay hair upon him
with that generation and my uncle was a
young boy and his grandfather Seder and
he used to tell me these were the
greatest price them they're true this
for him he is farm on his farm by which
we live till this very day he said
nobody sat at the Seder with a ruler and
nobody sat at the Seder with a stopwatch
nobody acted at the Seder as if this is
some sort of a exact songs because he
says he doesn't he didn't think that
well Shem wanted from us at the Seder
when we eat the matter Hashem wants us
to think about what the matzah
represents when we eat the morrow as Joe
wants us to think about what the morrow
represents not about that I eat a
millimeter too much that I eat a
millimeter too late blue however having
said that
of course we are a nation of Halawa and
Halawa gives us moves and rules tell us
how much we shitty and symptoms we have
to eat to fulfill the mitzvot so a cause
iose of a hand Mac sir is attraction
with me a third of a maxim a cause iose
of a machine matter is approximately
between two thirds and three-quarters of
a mass so now when we eat the matter so
we all remember we actually make two
brats we make a hammer she left them in
our Oryx and we make an oculist mats and
therefore there are many points can you
suggest that we have to eat to causation
their poison let's say you don't have to
be too precise them so you could be
lenient and strict at the same time
you'll have to take a whole full fluid
of a game at Sur for each gazaís that
would mean you happy to hold two thirds
of a maxilla if you eat less than
two-thirds of a mat so it's a little
less than two thirds of rats you find in
my team at slop and when you're eating
for if you're using a Mac so I think if
you're eating a whole mats or a whole
machine matter you created the myths of
my team at Sur when it comes for Kairos
we remember that we eat tomorrow and the
mats together there again you should eat
about a third of a hand mats and about
two-thirds to three-quarters of the
machine matzah ok so what's really
pregnant
one more point laughter Kleinman there
you should be full third of the hand
matzah and at full 3/4 of the Machine
Mattson so once we're done with the
Shoreham what would be this year in
terms of Mara and then maybe a little
explanation should one be using the the
crane the white horseradish should one
be using romaine lettuce which what's
preferable and will be this year for
those so you your listeners by now will
know my first answer my first answer is
what's preferable is whatever is your
minute whatever
you custom that's what's preferable
having said that that's what preferable
now
the Mishna in Perak arab shocks him in
the sack stops awesome does less mention
a number of vegetables which can be used
tomorrow and the first is Cazares and
most explained that has irises romaine
lettuce and that's why romaine lettuce
is certainly very preferable however
when i say that romaine lettuce is
preferable it means that we have to be
very very careful that the romaine
lettuce which we know is very often
infested people tell me i don't know
what you're talking about whether
ellison
I brought romaine lettuce and I didn't
see anything if you brought romaine
lettuce not the pre-chat romaine lettuce
I didn't see anything that mean he
didn't check it properly and in Halawa
it's not a pesar halacha it's a
year-round a local cache miss holloko is
very sensitive to if a station that we
know how to eat anything that has any
worms or ants or any living creature on
it so you have to make sure that the
romaine lettuce you use is properly
clean most most high c-can't are of the
opinion that many use and we strongly
recommend that that there are some very
good romaine lettuce available that a
pre-checked were very reliable
supervision do you itself gives us Kaka
to quite a few breads so if you're going
to use romaine you that the pre-checked
error pay sucks is busy enough that you
shouldn't have to be worried about
checking romaine lettuce and a keziah
of romaine lettuce is the area that
fills about 3 inches by 5 inches that's
considered a cos iose of morale and you
have to have a cause ice of morale
fool when you do them it's immoral and
then you have to have a cos is immoral a
small coz ice is fine for that for when
you're eating Kyrie the matzo and the
morrow together but many people have the
mini as you mentioned rabbi Elif not to
use romaine lettuce they use coarse
radish now it's very important I some
reason this year particularly I'm
getting a number of calls about this
when we speak about horseradish
you know the horseradish that you buy in
the store there the prepared beets that
they perhaps we called horseradish
because they mix horseradish together
with your beets
that's not horseradish and that's not
kosher for moral it's kosher tea with
you the filter fish but it shouldn't be
used tomorrow Mara means that you have
the horseradish root that is ground into
a a perro or flakes and that's moral the
map that you should use the map that's
considered a Casillas is anywhere from
point seven fluid ounces to one point
one fluid ounces again for the Mitzvah
Maura you should probably use one point
one fluid ounces and for the Mitzvah of
Kyra you could use less okay thank you
for with regards to Mart one of the
question that came up is people are
afraid of supplying the stores perhaps
of more the conventional types the
romaine and the horseradish is there any
other types of vegetables that one could
use from are those who are not available
so I want to first say that I don't
believe that there's going to be any
shortage in either of those two types of
moral we have been in contact with the
people who are the manufacturers of what
I mentioned a moment ago the pre-check
Moreau
and they're telling us that there's
going to be plenty of the pre-check
romaine lettuce available we're also
being told that the horseradish root
there will be plenty available
and certainly is not something I'm
strongly recommending but if you can't
find the pre-checked romaine lettuce
then you could buy regular romaine
lettuce and just check it properly you
could refute it you could refer to the
oh you kosher web that gives you
directions on how to check romaine
lettuce but if neither are available the
other option that many people can use
are and dyes there are people that use
endive smaller so if you can't find the
other types I could recommend endives
and I even remember that I heard many
years ago there a baron coupler times of
round cut with our coupler certainly
they didn't have the pre-check romaine
that we enjoy nowadays there Aaron
Kotler held that the average even used
regular lettuce tomorrow so I'm not in
any way suggesting that that's what you
should do I don't think regular lettuce
is look up you could should be used look
I feel as moral but if that's what
happens that you won't be able to find
any of what's known as moral that means
the romaine lettuce or a horseradish or
the endive and if you have no other
option I guess you could use regular
lettuce okay we're gonna kind of pivot
over here from talking about the actual
food products that the Seder to in the
last you know a few minutes that we have
to make most of it
a lot of people concerned especially
with the corona virus pandemic that's
going on about medications and things
like that so is there anything that you
can recommend in terms of medications
this year for Pesach cough suppressant
sorta like that people will be able to
use ok so I want to talk about medicine
before we go into specific medicines I
want to talk about medicine in general
you know the halacha
is and this is I guess if any year we
need to speak about it this is the year
we should be speaking about it the tower
gave us mitzvahs there we should be
healthy the Torah wants us to be healthy
that's the first myths of the Torah
wants us to focus on there are very few
situations where the observance
of a mitzvah or the doing there are
various seeds once health so therefore I
get many questions about different
medicines that people have to take and
what should they do altes us I my
response very very firmly is that if you
have a chronic disease and I want to
explain what I mean when I say you have
a chronic disease it doesn't mean cancer
Sholem you're laid up in the hospital if
you're laid up in the hospital then of
course they're gonna you're just gonna
take whatever they give you but you have
a chronic disease someone responds one
has a heart condition hypertension
diabetes cancer and they have to take
medicines my recommendation to you now
my recommendation my directive to you is
take the medicine that you're supposed
to take just take it if however you are
not in such a chronic situation or even
if you are in a chronic situation but
you have an option and you can take a
medicine which is a pill that you just
swallow or you could take a medicine
which is a pill that you chew or a
liquid that you drink the best always
isn't unless it's certified so pesach
the best choice is to take something
that you just swallow could that's
something that should like you that I
feel awful you're not eating it you're
not chewing it you're just swallowing it
and that's the most preferable if
however the medicine that you need to
take is not available and that type of a
swarm and again if it's a chronic
situation to then do what you have to do
but if it's not a chronic situation it's
not available in a pill form then that's
something you may want to consider
avoiding on Pesach so going back to your
point
rabbi Ellis in this year of the corona
virus if people are being instructed to
take different medicines they're being
instructed to take course medicine our
information is that the robitussin
doesn't have any comp doesn't have any
trace in it we're not a hundred percent
sure about the comments
but again if you need to take it because
it's a chronic situation
follow the advice that I just gave you a
pill that you swallow is best next a
pill that you chew and next a liquid
that you drink so once we're talking
about the medication since like things
that go into your mouth there's been a
lot of questions about any toothpaste
mouthwash lipsticks and like what's the
story that can people use I do they need
to cross the penstock what can they use
on pacer in that regard so again my
personal feeling I shouldn't say my
personal feeling because my personal
feeling is not that important whether
belsky felt this way as well if at all
possible if you have toothpaste or
mouthwash that is kosher for Pesach and
there are more and more brands that are
manufacturing toothpastes and
mouthwashes that are kosher for basic
our recommendation is that's what you
should buy for Pesach the toothpaste is
going into your mouth the mouthwash is
going into your mouth we're so careful I
think tonight's program is a testimony
to that how we're so careful about
everything that we ingest on Pesach so
we're gonna be so careful about
everything we ingest on Pesach this
should be no difference and we should be
very careful if possible to get
toothpaste or mouthwash with a
supervision for Pesach if however they
are not available there are I have here
rabbi besan boy that he puts out every
year that he's kind enough to share with
us with his recommendations and that
quite a number of toothpastes that he
recommended that he says he's
investigated in a fine for Pesach pull
the aim products the aquifer products
the Colgate products the aura gel
products the prevalent products so those
he says he's checked they don't have
special for Pesach supervision but he
says he's checked them and they're all
unacceptable to the use for Pesach the
same when it comes to math wash he also
has some math washes that he has shed
here on page 42 that he says are
acceptable for Pesach again just to list
some of them he has the Armand Hammer
products the Listerine products scope
and oral gel as different products that
he's recommending as bath washed that
can be used on Pesach again my personal
feeling the state and this was the
opinion that we who had the privilege of
working together and learning by
hrabowski that if you could buy a
product with a kosher supervision for
Pesach that would be even more
preferable so a couple more questions
just came in right now about some of the
medications are there any prenatal
medications prenatal pills that were
recommending yes do you in conjunction
with Maxie health sir certifies the
small prenatal caps for Pesach but you
have to make sure that the container you
purchase has a sticker that says it's
come true and then another question
someone knows he mentioned taking
swallow pills when their chronic what
about song is not chronically ill but
once they swallow pills
so again if it's not a chronic situation
and it's a swallowable pill and the
doctor is recommending that you take it
there's room for leniency okay we're
just gonna go to one question about
kashering that came up over here and
then you know looks like we're almost
running out of time for this part a lot
of people it's hard to make pace talk a
lot of people especially that are in the
demographic that have tuned in tonight
are in small apartments and the like
normally we say for Ashkenazim that they
can't toss her glass is there any suarez
to say they could be lenient this year
and be able to toss her glass other was
yours of comment so again as you
correctly indicate rabbi LF people of
Ashkenazi custom don't cache the glass
to pacer far than bukai chandelier
surveys are the two leading sees that I
would recommend if you know for a fact
that your glass that people that called
me that they are special
wine glasses that they know that they
only use for wine a whole year they
don't put any other liquid nothing
happen uh from old Nazi comments so I'm
not ready to take it on my shoulders but
I could see room for some leniency what
I can recommend is if you need to use
your glass that you have your comments
to the glass and you want to use that
for Pesach what you could do is cool
nealy really soak the glasses in water
for 24 hours then change the water and
then do that again for 24 hours and then
do the third time for 24 hours and then
even people of Ashkenazi descent to do
those glasses with ice a reality wise my
personal recommendation is that don't
just too much to do before Pesach
there's no reason to change and I keep
on repeating tonight you cost them and
you could buy very nice
disposable glasses nowadays and use that
to pace us and avoid the question okay
I'm a couple similar questions that came
in are if someone usually has a water
cooler in the kitchen
can they you used that cooler on Pesach
has both a hot and cold nozzle and maybe
the similar way that a flower of Oz on a
common staple could I use that as well
so in terms of the water cooler what I
recommend is that it's the only reason
for cold that's fine but if you don't
only use it for cold especially the
spigot the pot where the water comes out
you need to be concerned and let's say I
had something hacked that was coming and
I was filling it up with from my cooler
so that spigot might have become common
stick and you should cashew it now the
oles position is that a plastic spigot
can be Tasha the Moshe Feinstein's
position was that plastic should not be
taught showed so if you could get a new
spigots a pacer that would be best if
you can't get a new stick it then just
pour over it boiling water and if you
use it to pass off
okay it looks like we're out of time
over here every elephant I want to thank
you very very much wishing you a car
culture of samac and thank you for
sharing these insights with the island
special that's here in Queens where a
lot of our making pays off for the first
time it's our pleasure LSU you deserve

together with your colleagues the Queens
and we should all whatever minute we
follow have the same goal this today sir

you know by the Seder we say the NIT
psychology military say me we all
announced that it in the trying it was
ready unbearable and we cried out when
it's ugly fight at all general tear and
say send the god of our fathers but

your friends and your frat and your
family as we sit at the Seder and we get
to that point to decide whether you're
just sitting better say there yourself
or just you and your wife or a much
limited group than other years our
special doesn't need a large audience
the Nitza at that moment of the Seder
stop close your eyes and Davin Taschen
