when she married him she was 18 years old buba now she's 40 something years old already no hair no this poor M she tries to go through the crowd and see who's the rabbi heyy relax lady relaxa says no let her in your Torah and my Torah it's all hers everything is hers why only reason I'm here is because of her only reason I'm here is because of her anyone that understands this story even if you heard the story a thousand times you should hear it again why because we still fail to understand the significance of the story the significance of the story and why they succeeded for him to be of all the generations to such an extent thatu said why you give me T and give it to him give it to R he saw the future he says you can have somebody like this and the word you give me the Tor give it to him give it to R doesn't know how to read doesn't know how to write doesn't know nothing give it to him why he's going to be Riva why did ra get to marry such a guy what why each one knew their role he knew his role she knew her role and that's it and that's the thing if a if a woman understands if a woman understands that it's for her interest it's for her benefit to send and go through the hardship of not being with a husband as often as she would like but instead sending him to go learn Tor sending him to the send to go learn sending him to go learn she understands that's the that's ideal Everything Changes [Music] [Applause] [Music] do a [Music]
