What a journey. Thank you Danino for this incredible ride to have this to join your distinguished lineup of presenters. I am not ready for this yet at the same time. When an opportunity comes, you grab it. This right now is the VA that's that it encapsulates uh because I this is the last one of this incredible series and this is the part I would like to share. Okay, we go to in this amazing again the which makes learning so exciting. Raenu prayed. This is already still in. And informed him what's going on by the andu pleaded immediately before Hashem. He said, "Why Hashem should your anger intensify your against your people whom you have taken out of the land of Egypt with a great with great power and a strong hand." So, Rav Risman is Ryman in Shabasa last year asked a question. It's really a fascinating question. says if you take a look at the PK it's a really fascinating approach that Mosher Rabenu took he's pleading to aesh to save and then he's reminding Hashem of the favors that Hashem did for so please save his people and you took them out of with a mighty and powerful handman gave the following example imagine Ruain does so much Shim and Shiman benefited and Ruvane is always doing kindness all types of kindness for Shim and then one day Shim comes along and does something that really upset Ruv and then there's someone Byam and he wants to make sham he goes over to Ruv and he says you know what please forgive Shiman for what he did to you forgive Shiman because you did this for him and you did that for him and you gave him this gift you gave him that gift. How is that going to pacify Ruvane? Ruvane is furious. He does so much for Shim and then Beyamin is reminding Ruain of all the he did for Shim in his plea that he should forgive him. How does that work? So we'd like to suggest something and and I share this with River Eisman and he said it's it's it's beautiful and we actually have it inside the V is inside this book and it's called appreciating emotional equity. Perhaps another way of explaining Mosha's approach reveals an essential lesson in relationships. Moshe understood that Hashem created people in a certain way and recognized all the various levels of the human psyche and relationship bonding. When someone invests deeply emotionally, financially or otherwise, that investment doesn't only benefit the recipient, it reveals an emotional attachment between the giver and the recipient. Each act of beneficence exhibits the love and affection that the giver feels for the recipient and each act of generosity actually deepens the bond. And I just if I may I'm going to share an amazing story that we actually feature here in the book. I was to work at art scroll for a number of years and I was there at the beginning of the garra project and what happened was is that mayor's ladder realized he needed to assemble a dream team of and that takes that that takes investment and he was looking for a name grant sponsor that means besides each volume being the recipient of of a generous donor but we needed a donor for the whole project makus came out that was the first maka and Then Aven volume one, volume two. Now what happened was Rier met with a family and actually they basically were almost about to sign on the dotted line. They gave a verbal approval. At the last second they backed out. Ravier, you could imagine he was very disappointed. He went to speak to R David Feinstein who he was so close with and RDavid Feinstein said no that family didn't have this. someone else will. And of course we know today that was shot and steam. But listen to the story needed in order to continue the project he need it needed a name grant. So he turned to Stillman and Zatsen and he said he said listen like what do you recommend? I would go back to the Shottenstein family, but they just sponsored Araven volume one and Aven volume two actually written uh translated by Riverman and he he sponsored Aan 1 and two. I don't feel comfortable going back to him. They just sponsored that even though they may be a great fit for the name grant. Rav R Stillman said this said they gave to you they believe in you. They will continue to give to you and sure enough and the rest is history. Want to wish everyone a good chab and again a thank you to Danino and Yomi for this incredible opportunity.
