Yishai Fleisher Show: Drinking Quarantini

[Music] [Applause] [Music] all right folks Wallace McLeish I place your show broadcasting live from Judea from my little room of quarantine that's right I'm drinking quarantine ease because I'm in quarantine because I was at the CPAC AIPAC conference and at CPAC I came in contact with somebody who had the dreaded corona virus but I am okay 100% no problem and it seems like zero people that came in contact with that person have gotten the illness have been infected but be that as it may for a safety precaution I've been in quarantine and I'm done in just a few days on Shabbat and that's actually not so weird because there's quite a few people who are in quarantine in Israel and probably where you are as well so it's it's something that's happening it's part of our world and for a long discussion on quarantine and those issues in the coronavirus and a lot of humor please stay tuned for the second half of the show with maka Fleischer who does brave the situation and joins me for the show she is not in quarantine if you're wondering the family is not in quarantine since I am first circle and without symptoms they are second circle without symptoms and therefore not in quarantine so she joins me for the second half please join me it's a lot of fun I could tell you it just recorded it it was just like really good fun so you'll enjoy it and we'll try to keep this a half short especially since we don't have our beloved rabbi Mike Feuer with us today and that's okay it's obvious he's not with me here in quarantine be that as it may we have an amazing Torah portion yes I wish that Reverend Mike would be with us here because it's one of the most dramatic one of the most important Torah portions that that are that exist all the torah is important all the Torah's holy all the tour is God's Word but in terms of our small human comprehension this one this one is something that is it's it's one of those Torah portions that I wait for eagerly throughout the year and just kind of like prepare to get to because it's ki Tisa it's it's it's one of the big ones and it's really when God is going to show himself face to face to man and to his great servant our great leader and rabbi rabbi Moses Robina will share a banal and I will share a banal Halawa Shalom and the Torah portion ki Tisa which is in the thirtieth chapter of the book of Exodus Schmoe Pitta glamoured and it starts off it starts off kind of normally enough for the last two portions we did with true ma we did with cassava we did we dealt with the vestments and the vessels the furnishings and the clothes of the tabernacle but now we're gonna we're gonna actually learn why there is a tabernacle that's gonna come in this Torah portion and if I didn't say before this is the Torah portion of Moses glowing face versus the golden calf both are going to be a mask of sorts right the mask is the fraudulence of the golden calf and the other mask is when Moses truth light shining from his face needs to be covered up with a kind of cloth in order not to show that that that awesome in and somewhat scary power but the Torah portion begins like the other Torah portions the last two ones it talks about the vessels and the vestments so we're going to talk about the mockolate Sita shekel which is the half shekel that everybody has to donate for the tabernacle and it's also a way of counting a census so there's the mock let's eat the shekel the half shekel which every person gives a half which in itself is a beautiful concept like when you want to be counted when you want to be part of something you give a half that says a lot right imagine if every one of your identity cards your driver's license would be a half right let's show you this I'm just a half I am half of something I'm not fully something I am fully me but me is not fully anything without society without my husband or wife without my relationship with God without my relationship with my children I'm not a full thing so when I say me I don't mean the big me because there is no big me only God is a full one me but the rest of us were halves and that's what the signal of the mahanta shekel is which is a beautiful thought then we have the key or which is the Laver and that is the hand washing and feet washing a big basin of water made out of copper that sits in the tabernacle that prepares the priests for their work because they need to purify themselves then we have two more even mystical ideas which as one is the anointing oil which is made up of different spices and put together with oil and that that is a a sanctifying oil when used when you schmear and of course that's a very Jewish word you have to Schmeer you have to know how to schmear and the if you schmear the old chemin Abhishek on the the anointing oil well that thing becomes sanctified so the whole tabernacle is going to go through the schmear process including the the core name themselves and then finally we're going to deal with the turret which is the incense and the incense is this there's a special incense altar which is on the inner courtyard right before the Holy of Holies and and that incense is is is very finely finely refined - chopped and then when you put a piece of coal in there it goes big smokestack of amazing incense spreads out and the kumara famously says that that all of Jerusalem would would have the scent of the Qatar when there was a temple in Jerusalem just just to kind of also make a quick background announcement which is the tabernacle is the predecessor of the Temple in Jerusalem the tabernacle is the roving way to serve God I call it the Diaspora Jew the the the the tabernacle Myshkin jewelry when Jews are on Route traveling and then when we're at home base he kind of grows and becomes the temple and that's an only one place which is in Yerushalayim if you're wondering in Jewish history I think that we're exactly in the period where we have a tabernacle right when Joshua came in and there was a tabernacle that was the place that that that that not yet had the temple been established in Jerusalem so it's like we're in the land but it's not fully established yet that's that's how I think of ourselves in Jewish history and then we're gonna we're gonna have something that ties it all in we've had two-and-a-half Torah portions that spoke about vessels and vestments vessels and vestments investments okay but but who's gonna make all that who's gonna make it happen and there's gonna be a dude and his name is bit salah el ben or even a [ __ ] and this patel el he is the grandson ostensibly the grandson of [ __ ] who is the son of california and who in the traditions of the Jewish people was actually murdered in this Torah portion later in this Torah portion by the Jewish people or by at least the erev rav the the mixed multitude as they yearned to have a golden calf and came [ __ ] and tried to stop him [ __ ] was really Aaron's helper and together they were the backup team for Moses remember that the two people that held the hands up of Moses when he was when there was a battle with the AMA Amalekites and Joshua was battling and Moses hands were up Moses his hands got tired who held those those hands up it was Aaron and hor so hor is along with Aaron and everything but when the Jewish people come up and say we want a golden calf or tried to stop them or tries to stop the those that mixed multitude that that you're in for a golden calf and they murdered him and the major says that it was Aaron in the and they show it in the verses Aaron saw that he had been slain and he understood that a he was next if he would not agree to create a golden calf be that the Jewish people would deserve unmitigated punishment if they would also murder the high priest Aaron and so and so he goes along with our plot trying to slow them down and and [ __ ] murdered later on in this very torah portion this is not written in the full text meaning so you won't be able to see it directly in the text but that is the Jewish tradition and they find clues for that in the text the most important clue is that [ __ ] disappears from the Bible he was an important player before him and suddenly he's totally gone and those other verses that basically show that he is that he had been slain and slaughtered and what's so amazing and this is to me even a bigger clue that God's justice is eternal is that in the places that we are introduced to bits ll who's the grandson of core now let's not worry right now about the chronology because there's a chronological problem in the age of bits although but there are ways to solve that notwithstanding the chronological issue with the Torah tells us is that when we're introduced to bits ll it says a karate Vashem it's a little bit holy but some that have been already been whole see I have called the name of bits Allah and again later on in the Torah when we meet but so I see here I have brought forth this guy and I have chosen him why does it say that why not just say and I have chosen what is this business of C and it's recurring when it comes to only specifically to bits ll and my contention is that God is telling us a big message here which is my servants my beloved servants I watch out for them i watch out for all souls and I watch out for justice you murdered my beloved Corps but he is not forgotten in bits ll is his grandson and I have chosen him to show you that though the other one was killed I'll kiddush Hashem was killed for the sanctification of God's name don't think that I am blind to that don't think that I'm that see that in fact I have called the name of bets ll been already been [ __ ] I have chosen his grandson to be the one who does what exactly what hora wanna do which is to sanctify God it's a stop you from doing idolatry it is his grandson that is going to fulfill that through the creation of the tabernacle and so that's a very powerful proof to the to the idea that [ __ ] was murdered and then his great-grandson his grandson which was the great-grandson of Colette Vanunu is going to be a he's going to be honored scene respected and he's going to fulfill the mission of his grandfather and that God does not forget and then after we are introduced to bits ll we're introduced to the Sabbath once again let me find my place here so the Sabbath is is once again detailed and the Sabbath in in this in this particular rendition of it this this iteration of the Sabbath commandment has some very beautiful thoughts here and I wanted to kind of just stay there on one verse two verses 31 16 and we say this on Shabbat the shadow benissa of an a side of the Shabbat lesotho the Shabbat adora template or lamb that shield the children of Israel kept the Sabbath to keep the Sabbath to work the Sabbath as it were for generations and eternal and eternal covenant Sabbath is an eternal covenant strangely enough right the day of rest is a covenantal thing Baney listen to these words bany vain Benes it is between me and the children of israel and notice by the way no other peoples have really kept the Sabbath beanie even been a sale all Tila Alam between me and the children of Israel it is an internal sign it is a eternal oh it is like is like it's a sign but basically like something that other people see it's a it's a it's a covenant I'll sign it's like a plaque art if you will it's just says it says like this is between me and the Jews of the Jews are keeping Sabbath there's a God in this world why says the verse he Shh a meme Asajj shemitah' sure my invertebrates for six days God created the heavens and the earth who vo mushy Shevat in the seventh day he rested Verena fish and was this is making up an English word here in sold his soul was but rest's rested and recovered recuperated Rashi says of course God doesn't need recuperation but he writes this in order for us to understand the message of the day that if God who certainly doesn't need to recuperate then we need to recuperate so it's interesting is Sabbath good for you well one could make a simple argument that it's good for you it's good for the family it's good for two - to unplug it's good - to rest your minds go to re-energize and yet and yet this thing that's good for you is also unique to the Jewish people's the Jewish people's relationship with God and it is also so we learned that it's unique we learned that it's good for you and it's also a sign of God's presence in this world so that's that's very interesting because you would think that it wouldn't need necessarily to be good for you but there's something about the Sabbath which is Vanina fash and I think I submit to you that maybe the answer is that the Shabbat is one of the ways one of the few ways in which the Jewish people remain eternal that is our linkage with God to stay eternal is to recuperate relax but also replug in to what the master of the world is really all about - his Torah to the family to pass those ideas and feelings on to the next generation so the Sabbath is yes a sign yes between choosin and God only but it's also a way to perpetuate the two former things to perpetuate the Jewish people so that they will be a sign so that they will be a proof for for God in this world so beautiful words in this very dramatic store portion which we're going to get to the drama in a second Vanina Fache Vienna fudge now next thought which is I think very important do you remember I've said this maybe a few times but I want to kind of highlight it again I I don't believe even though though there are Mitra Xin let's say that my personal take is that Moses did not have a stutter it really doesn't say in the Torah textually that he had a stutter what it says is that he was heavy of speech and heavy of tongue or he had an uncut kind of a rough mouth or rough tongue and I think the meaning of that is is that he spoke very bluntly he was a very blunt speaker a heavy speaker and come down heavy on people and so he says to God earlier on he says to him listen don't send me to the Jews because I'm a straight talker I don't I don't know how to be diplomatic I don't know how to be easygoing with people I I in some ways I'm offensive because of my bluntness so god system okay I'm gonna send you the diplomat and I don't I don't mean that in any lightweight but somebody who can speak to people somebody who can modify their they're nervous and there's somebody that a person who knows how to speak to a people in in their ways in in a certain kind of softness and kindness get people help people come around and that's Aaron Aaron is the diplomat and we know that that even a rabbis tell us that that Aaron was willing to bend truth he was willing to bend truth in order to bring peace between peoples this is a diplomat okay this is a person who's whose strength is in finding common ground easing the tensions etc even though of course yearning for truth but willing to to ease it so that so that it's not too harsh and it can be accepted and that is my explanation for what happened at the golden calf because the golden can of basically you had a separation between these two characteristic traits Moses goes up to the mountain and therefore he is going to be with God with ultimate penultimate truth he's up there with God as opposed to Aaron who's going to be with the people who have human demands in in and those human demands without the balance of ultimate truth can lead to a distortion and that's what happened with the Golden Calf they demanded something distorted in an errand instead of cracking down hard on him as as his nature was somewhat trying to be soft with them in order to mollify them get them to a better place past time until Moses arrives but the separation between Aaron and Moses at that moment is what led to this collapse truth is in one place diplomacy's in another place and and because those two things aren't hybridized aren't too mixed then catastrophe ensues so the great the great weight of the Torah tell the Torah has an amazing word and I again I love the star portion guys folks I really do and it's it says at the end of Moses time on the mountain of Sinai at Mount Sinai God gave me ten emoticons okay Carlotto the debating Toba house c9 when he finished speaking some in heresy night God gave him one she's nailed holt two tablets she never Hotel it dude two tablets of witnessing look hot Evan they are they are stone tablets get ovum they're written bets bottle game in the hand of God with a finger of God however so this is a very high moment maybe if you think about it the highest moments right this is the highest moment there is what is the time moment that man is with God and God dictates the law right sit on two tablets to bring down to the people and incredibly the next the next phrases and that's the word I wanted to focus on via Haram the nation saw key bullsh Michela that mean ahah that Moses was delayed to come down from the mountain now this word bow shesh means he was embarrassed to come down to the mountain he was in a potentially loftier level than coming down to the people and that's the way the people perceived it they perceived it says that they perceived that Moses was too lofty to come down to them and they're having non lofty thoughts at this moment non lofty let's make a big party the parents are gone let's make a house party an animal party and and and of course Moses is up there sure he's with God he's you know he's in the Shiva of the heavens but down here on earth we've got we've got carnal urges and come on the Rashi says Bosh Esch is the word Bosh which has came six the sixth hour had arrived and they miscalculated when he was about supposed to return did it understand that there was yet another 24 hours at least that he was supposed to arrive and they they miscalculated the misunderstood what when he told them he would arrive and also the devil the the the dark energy of this world to show them an image of Moses on his deathbed riding high in the sky which is another way of saying that because they had a yearning well as I said before a carnal urge then their mind allowed them to see a dead Moses he's not coming down he's in the heavens with God and we're down here and so therefore they gathered around Aaron and they say to him we don't know what happened with this Moses that took us out of Egypt at least they admit that and he says and they Satan when one second I lost it here for a second I'm all alone here so I don't have a rubber mic to talk and to find the place of the meantime they say - they say - Aaron Combe get up I said I know Elohim make for us - God I'm sure you'll find a note that will walk before us because we don't know what happened for Moses so make for us an idolatry make for us tonight our tree so so Aaron tries to slow him down he says you know give me your wives and children's gold the nose rings and earrings he thought that would slow them down but they got it quick enough and it be an Anna Moulton God was created how was it created well Aaron when Moses asks him what happened later on Aaron is gonna say to him we threw in this gold and out came out this this golden calf and that's not a lie because there were people the mentor says an amazing Midrash that when Moses was down in Egypt at the Nile and he wanted to bring up the body of Joseph who was buried below the Nile he had a metal I think it was silver a kind of plate that had the word in it a less Shore arise bull which was bull was kind of the the accolade nickname of of Joseph and indeed when he thrown through that in Joseph's bones rose up from from underneath the Nile but somebody had that metal bar and threw it into the fire which said you know arise a bull and out came of this golden calf it's an interesting it's it's an interesting it's an interesting thought that that this you know the the power of Aaron and the power of moat of excuse me of Joseph would be used as an idolatry in any case they they rose up the next morning this thing was created they rose up to party and they began to jest and then and then suddenly back screen the camera shifts back to to Moses in the mountain God says to him go down because you're because this nation that you brought up from Egypt has to come to licentiousness and they have left very quickly the pathway which I which I prescribed for them they've created an avodah Zarah an idolatry and they said these are your gods Israel which took you out of Egypt so God God basically says hey you know while you're up here talking truth with me your people have gone down to the lowest debasement lowest the basement and so you got to get back down there and God says to him got system before he goes down there actually actually I take that back he doesn't say go back down there he says you know what got system I've seen this this nation and it is a stiff-necked nation now leave me I said don't don't trouble me about this don't bug me and let my anger flare upon them and I'll make you into a great nation ana Moses begins the process of trying to apologize and to and to appease God and to help them to argue make great arguments for why the Jewish people should remain alive and he says what why would you be angry at your nation as in you know your nation you know who they are and you took them out of the great hand why should you allow the Egyptians to say that he that God wanted to just to kill his nation up on the mountains return from your anger and so argument number one is argument number one is I think you took them out as in your God you know who they are so what are you so upset about since you obviously knew who you're dealing with that's why human number one that's a personal like god that's between you it's it's Val Val it's like between God and God it's like come on you know who you're dealing with so that's number one and number two is on the public face why would you allow Egypt to make you look bad and to say you were incapable that would be shameful for God and three remember the [ __ ] Levitan Leeteuk Lisa Levada remember for Abraham Isaac and Israel your servants which you swore to them shouldn't bother him Bob right with this that we read this on fast days and and it's it's to commemorate that the God was very angry and then he returned from his anger you swore to Abraham Isaac and Jacob so one is you know who you're dealing with and two is you're gonna look bad in the face of Egypt and three you made an oath to Abraham Isaac and Jacob to bring their children out of Egypt and you made an oath of them so God God basically says now why did I list those arguments the reason I listed those arguments is because Rebbe Nachman says something that's so great he goes because when you talk to God make good arguments make it could make a case for yourself argue your case or for the nation or for other things make a good case learn from from Moses that it's important to articulate a good case and and God says you know at that point God is venomous Jim he decides not to destroy his nation he he he he pulls back from that anger of destruction against the Jewish people and it says he he pulled back from the anger that the badness that he wanted to do to his nation the nation returns to be I'm Oh because because it's a few phrases before the end he says to Moses your nation as in your your folks you are people now it's back to being in his his nation thank God that God kind of takes us back to be his nation Moses goes down the mountain he's got the two the two tablets of the Ten Commandments and and we learned more about the Ten Commandments on this point just before they get destroyed we learned that they're indeed written from this side and to this from both sides equally all the way through how could that be possible how could the letters be the same on both sides and that's one of the the kind of miraculous elements and these the the the tablets themselves were a work of God and the writing was the writing of God and it was it was engraved on to the onto these tablets are say just say not not the root but rather rather say root like whoever follows this has great freedom has Liberty but in any case these that these were the special first tablets but God himself made and and they're going down the mountain and what happens is is that he sees when Moses sees the the eggless have and the dancing the the Golden Calf and the dancing Moses was angry and he threw from his hands these two tablets and he broke them at the foot of the mountain and you know like and what you know can you imagine and but we have we have this dichotomy of angry Moses comes down and then later on it's gonna be like lit up Moses so he comes down off the mountain any-any sees this this golden calf he burns it he chops it into into fine pieces like small into dust and he puts it on the water and he makes the Jews drink from it and ostensibly those Jews that drink from it are going to die but they are going to have to kind of take this the serum of truth and those who in raschi explains those who those who took part in it we're going to die from this water he questions Aaron and he sees that the situation is really bad and himself Rashi tells us later on he's going to be saved because God wanted to kill him as well but he did God does kill two of his children later on we learned that the to his two children that died Nadav and Avihu according to one Rashi is the result of the of the idolatry that was created with Aaron's help but we have to be so careful you know because I would never want to say bad speech about Aaron who is one of the greatest greatest leaders that that ever lived and and and beloved by the nation of Israel but the Torah does not mince words he had a hand in in the in the of course he didn't want it but he had a hand in the creation of the of the golden calf and you know what though I've said so much and yet what's interesting is that that the the most dramatic part is just yet to come and Moses goes back up to the mountain and and he says he says but yes chef Moshe Oh show me he spoke back with God and he said you know the nation to the great sin and he says if you're not gonna if you're not going to - to overcome your anger if you're not going to carry their sin then destroy me erase me from this book which you have written could there be anything more dramatic than Moses saying to God erased me from the book which you have written first thing that that this is a proof that there is a Torah like the Torah tells you yes God was writing a book and that Moses knew that he was a star in this book says he raced me from this book which we have written just just I phrased just let's think about that Mahaney not please erase me from the book we see focaccia kofta first and God is an author he's a creator of the world he's also an author he erased me from this book I don't want it isn't he doesn't even by the way he doesn't have the hutzpah to say erase your book just erase me from your book I don't want I don't want any part of your book or I don't deserve any part in your book and God says to him he who sent to me I'm going to erase from my book interesting right like the greatest thing the greatest evil is that is the the greatest punishment is that you're erased from God's book think about that and then he says to him God says to him some bad news you know what he says he says you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna fulfill all that I promised but I'm gonna do it through agency I'm gonna do it through an emissary and a messenger it's not gonna be me the real me I'll get it done but it will be just how should we say without feeling perfunctory I'm going to I'm gonna send my angel and he's gonna get it all done and we'll keep going but it won't be the real me take take the nation take the nation up to the land of Israel to the land that I promised I'll send my Israel he'll destroy the nation's but I shall not go up amongst you for you're a stiff neck Ignatian you the nation in you and you're gonna get destroyed along the way and when the nation heard this bad thing fish mama thought that when the nation heard this bad thing but it's not the real you would think right you would think it's like you know what good deal not too much God just you know let's let's let's have a normal human thing here bring us to the land we're indigenous we've got rights international law rights and all that we don't need too much God when when that's the message the Jewish people are incredibly heartbroken heartbroken the Jewish people say no no no we we want the real the real gun we know we've secretly replaced God with this angel in in the mornings coffee you know we've we've we've we've kind of you know we've we've lightened it up it's now decaf it's now decaf God what's wrong with that decaf God take the options not so bad but the Jewish people are heartbroken or heartbroken once again they're called the Stefon egged people and also God then demands them to take off these crowns that they were given at Mount Sinai because they're walking around with these these kind of angelic crowns that's this you don't take those off you don't deserve them that's that's an embarrassing moment and they indeed take off these these kind of these these light crowns that they're wearing and and then it says it says that explains how Moses had set his tent apart and it says that that God would speak a God would speak to Moses face to face as he would speak with a person as a person would speaks to another person and Moses will excuse me and Joshua never left his side which is an interesting aside here which is like at this very moment we're taught that there is somebody in the wings one could make an argument my friend Alex Trainmen made an argument to me and explained that based on teachings of another rabbi that that really the the golden calf is the is the essential sin and from that essential scent came other sins including the ones of the the great other sin of the of the of the spies who rejected the lands of Israel and it all became it won't went down from here so immediately we're told there's a Joshua right at this at the center of the golden calf we learned there's a Joshua and if even if Moses can't bring him into the land Joshua will and then there is then the store portion takes on the the very mystical very hidden language of the talk that God has with Moses and and Moses says to him you know you have known me by name you told me to bring up this nation this is the cut this is if you want if you'd like this is the conversation that a continuation of the conversation that they had initially at Mount Sinai initially before Moses becomes Moses the Redeemer when God says I'm going to send you the other so Moses is like look we we had an understanding here we talked on this very mountain like you promised you said to me go down and get them like like why would you send me down here only to be disappointed on this whole thing you kind of first saw it and Moses says if you're if you're face the real you isn't going to walk with us don't bring us up from here and the only way that that is there's only one proof that we actually found favor in your eyes and you wanted this whole stories that the real you the real you has Shem you God is gonna come up with us but let the climb honor that you walk with us and we'll be a nation unlike all other nations Vanna foligno any vamp hunt and and me and the nation will be unlike Mikola I mash up now unlike all other nations that on the face of the earth it so Moses then says to him show me your glory one of the most powerful verses has five words Vaio manna how to a Mina at Khalifa Moses says show me please your glory as in tell me what this is all about tell me the real real story tell me why tell me who you are tell me what what are your why do you why did you why do you do what you do well like why did you create this world why did you create this nation why'd you create this story what is this all for and God answers him this is I'll pass all my goodness before you and I'm gonna call the name on the name of God I'm gonna you're gonna hear the true name of God but you shall not be able to see my face because nobody can see my face and live the human cannot see my face and live because because if you see my true face you will be basically subsumed back into me I did something I separated a bit of me out into this world in order to create you human beings and this story if I show you my full glory you will not live not in the sense that you're gonna die but you're just gonna be subsumed right back into into into the world before creation so what I'm gonna do since God as there's there's this cave and I'm going to put you in this cave and then I'm gonna kind of block my hand I'm gonna put my hands in front of this cave until I pass and when I pass I'm gonna reveal it and you're gonna see my back what does that all mean this is the makings of the Zohar this is the makings of the arteries others the makings of the grind the baal shem tov these are the makings of of a kind of truth which it's as the text itself says to understand these things itself is is to see the face of God and that is not exactly something that is that is easy and in that we're given to but it's definitely the stuff right like when you read the stuff and I hope you do read it we're in chapter 34 of the book of Exodus I'm a Dalit bucket Issa so you know it's important to read these words and to try to feel something trying to understand something try to let this the this energy radiates out to you so God says to him make two new new new new tablets and don't let the Jewish people come up and he indeed did make two new Ten Commandments - two new plates tablets Shem stood there as he told them he would and he passes his whole glory before us but not by ikana shem passed his glory next to Moses or before him when he was in that cave and he called out Hashem Hashem everything on earth except I have a because of it man has a lot of famous everyone fish Africa table in the kid Finnick a lawyer and I kept okay I wanna vote I believe I'll never name I shoulda she believed me and he he passes in front of him and he reads out this formula this formula is the 13 attributes of God's mercy so revelation of what God is is the revelation of God's mercy we use this phrase we say this phrase did I tell you in Judaism when you get a chance to say this phrase and we say it it's a very powerful phrase and it's kind of the real name of God that he revealed himself to Moses this is a God of mercy his mercy towards his love towards those who love him no success a lot of him to thousands who who are his lovers but but not to those who are his haters and Moses hurried and he fell to the ground and he frustrated and again he says you must walk amongst us because we are stiff-necked people this is a recurring theme the stuff nekkid miss and you will and please we ask you to forgive to our sins and our iniquities and to bring us to the promised land bring us to the to the to the land of Nahal our and our inheritance and then God goes on in and after this very very private interchange between Moses and God it becomes yet again a national discourse and the national discourse is I'm gonna come up to the land you got a kick out the bad guys the seven nations don't make a deal with them do not cut a deal with the seven nations by the way by the way in parentheses this week the the the joint Arab list made their demands to join the government and what was their demand that Jews don't go up to the Temple Mount I mean could you could you could you please be more biblical than demanding of the Jews not to go to the Temple Mount that is just that it's just the height of like of like the seven nations I'm not equating the Arab parties with the seven nations but because I'm not calling for for any kind of vigilante action at all I'm not saying that at all but it is interesting isn't it that there one demand this don't serve God on the Temple Mount right that's what that's what the joint Arab parties want to make sure don't serve God on the Temple Mount and then he says and keep the three festival holidays come to Jerusalem three times a year and do not come empty-handed six days you have to work and on the seventh day you have to not work but others say that this is a reference to the seventh year fallow and then it talks about the the the three holiday cycle right and then it says it says like this says it says three things why what what am I gonna promise you Peola we should go Amy Panetta I will I will kick out the nation's from before you or you will inherit their lands and I will I will I will kind of move them out from before you so I'll do one oh well he's craving for neck I'll get rid of the Gentiles from before you to their half the end of Alexa I will widen out your borders three Vellamo each at that second and nobody's gonna be is gonna learn for your land nobody's gonna cover at your land when biologically law to finish em okay so much money but Shana all you have to do is come up to Jerusalem three times a year you come up to Jerusalem three times a year and all those problems now think about that our borders have only shrunken people are coveting our land all over the place and and and the Gentiles instead of being kind of kicked off the land those who hate us are in some sense there's an there's a infestation of of haters of Israel these avi these this Arab joint list there are many Arabs who are not like that there are many Druze that are not like that but there's an element of jihadism and the great greatest way to prove it is Gaza look what happened there right we our borders shrink and instead this hating group took over and they've made war against us so God says I'll do three things I'll get rid of those Gentiles I'll widen out your borders and nobody's gonna cover your land but all I want you to do is come three times a year to Jerusalem honor me show me off I think this is this is something that needs to be read you know we need to read this all the time we need to remember these things and he says finally he reminds people he reminds the Jews of Passover the Shevat the Sukkot and then he finally says and do not cook a kid in its mother's milk we spoke about that a few weeks ago and Moses was up on the mountain learning these things for 40 days and 40 nights he did not eat and he did not drink and he wrote on the on these two tablets these tablets of Covenant these ten things and when Moses came down on the mountain there was something different about him this time that he didn't have the first time only in a second time did he come down and his face was the skin of his face was glowing because God has spoken to him face to face and Aaron and the children of his are when they saw Moses they feared him it was scary sight and he called to them Moses call to them they came closer to them Aaron and all the heads of the tribes and then the rest of the Jewish people and God come and Moses commanded them what what God commanded him and then from then on Moses had to cover his face he had to put on his face a mask a poram mask where God's face was where Moses his face could not be seen except for those times when he would actually be teaching the Torah then that light would be there and and the whole nation of people would see the face of Moses cuz it glowed and then after he would stop teaching them he would and when it became down to just being Moses and and not just the godly emissary at that moment he would have to cover his face and that's such a sign for what God has himself God God reveals himself at times but the rest of time he covers himself but if you want the real God you got to know that he's amongst you though he's covered up though he's covered up his face is covered the real God is amongst you that's of the deal that's the deal that was made that's the end of the pork to our portion of ki Tisa I think one of the most powerful tour portions that there are and I have such a great merit to speak to you about it today from my quarantine little room here in Judea Israel close close to your sh limeira kodesh between your alignment i've run two holy cities come and visit us here don't let

Malcolm flesh a maka welcome to the show hi what what flavor do you think is the quarantine e or put in the quarantine or in G type of flavor orange with a little triple sec with a little orange juice and a little it's just like like do you just rub a little bit of rubbing alcohol around the the rim that's right no salt wait what do you call that that red stuff look it's a it's a red from enough remove what's the code like it's a red type of a red alcohol yeah like a red apple a fireball no that you add to the fireball be nice doping that's that's a cool that's cool right so let's shift it orange juice orange juice and fireball no that's or just triple sec fireball that's disgusting not fireball you know that honey pepper stuff honey amber not honey peppered the honey whiskey that honey oh the Tennessee yeah the Tennessee honey ball Tennessee honey Tennessee honey with triple sec in orange juice that's a drink I just made up called the called the called the quarantine and you have to wear rubber gloves when you're drinking it yeah yep well Malka is as its as its well known by the time people listen to this it'll be probably day 13 for me of quarantine which is which is really not quarantine just just to make it clear what happened was is that I was not in quarantine for like a week here in Israel since I came home well not a week I came home on Monday in a next Sunday I found out that one of the people at the conference that I was at that you shook hands with and I shook hands with and and was friendly with got sick turns out that nobody the good news is that's the bad news the good news is that we pray for his full and speedy recovery 100% I know him he's a really sweet man nice and loving Jew that's right Sourav wash lemma to him but but that being said that the good news is that nobody that was exposed to him has gotten sick that is definitely a miracle that is a because he's a very social guy this corona virus is a virus for nice people you know you've said it to a few people I don't think people understand exactly what you mean what you mean is that that if you're nice yeah if you're like hey and you're like out there and you're traveling and you're seeing things and you're meeting people you're shaking hands you're hugging that's like those are the people who are getting the sickness yeah not the people who are like in the basement playing video games every day oh man this sickness this thing now I don't know where you live for example my good friend Moshe Herman who lives in Idaho is like hey he's like nothing nothing's happening here because Idaho I don't know if I don't know is not the social capital the world himself says it's the Styx's he lives out in the sticks any session right and he said to me first thing big Mazel Tov to him yes hello my baby gift don't worry we didn't forget you two beautiful twins just wonderful we're wonderful pictures thank you so much but there are other places like here Israel that it's hit and hitting we have now here in Israel 100 people sick but like it's jumping up fast and Israel is a tiny country right so in a social kind a very very social country that's what I was gonna say it feels like what that means is that Israel is very lacks about its coronavirus enforcement which is not true Israel's one of the harshest countries want to come I mean harsha's well let's say strict one of the strictest countries when it comes to coronavirus activism for example yesterday Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a bunch of health officials got together for a press conference and announced that they had been seriously considering shuttering all the schools all the schools but decided against shuttering the schools but but did decide that they are going to prohibit all meetings of a hundred people or more you're not allowed basically except for like the grocery store you're still allowed to go to the grocery store where I guess there's probably more than a hundred people yeah but aside from that you're not supposed to do anything that has and that is that has such an effect you know now is the time between Purim and PASOK is very big wedding season here in Israel at the time everyone likes to get married before Pesa I why because then you move as a couple into a new apartment that is already clean for Pesa totally serious people like to move and be like okay listen we'll just like forego this whole Pesach cleaning by getting married like a week or two before passaging and then we don't have to clean our apartment right but but you have to add to that which is a young husband is not used to taking orders from a young wife and well she like sort of like lets him and easy I'm saying like like he's not used to that and that could cause you know tension right and and just basic cleaning can cause can cause certain tensions not like if you're a tribe where where have you noticed any tensions I I don't here's what I'm saying what I'm saying is at my have you noticed some tension somewhere anyone and my advanced husbanding stage where I have where I am a veteran husband then yeah then that period and it's in its atmosphere is ready well known to me and I'm ready prepared for dealing with it although although I must say that not as ready as I used to be because for the past few years you and I have been going to a hotel right since I was like the scouring residents that type of thing and you were the host s and and now this year that's not happening not just because of Corona but because just didn't work out just didn't work out this year which is which is ironic it's sort of a weird little miracle because basically they would probably be canceling on us anyway right my guess is that most people I'm curious I would like to hear I wonder if we have any listeners who were planning on coming for Pesa yes who are either still coming for Pesa or are not still coming for pestle yeah I'm curious to hear if you're one of our listeners who had a Pesach plan right we're curious to hear what are you doing with your Pesach plan I heard that ruff can have Sookie says that everyone who has a plan to come to Israel should come and should not cancel their trip to Israel even if you have to be in be viewed even if you have to be in isolation for the whole trip because let's just say the word isolation in Hebrew is bedewed from the word both dead but that means like alone or lonely alone alone and and but if you're in but we've changed that word to be dude be the bee dude okay I'm in be dude and one of the jokes that I may need over social media was a picture that I wrote hey man as in Haman come on I'm in B dude okay because this poor him I was in in course Lots yeah yeah I saw watts yeah that's a word that we made up and also quarantine E which is a word I did not make up but we should that should be real the quarantine you should be real quarantine is the drink you drink in quarantine no but there has to be a recipe and it has to go around the world and people have to have quarantine II parties of like five people only okay it's kind of like vitamin C in a vitamin yes I'm Soren so then so then why are you going sideways with the fireball just be like no you need no cuz then you need inner you need a you need something to burn out the oil maybe a little passion fruit I think that has that has vitamin C as well what about a little drip of Corona beer interesting yeah you got a three go through it a little bit of beer alright listeners we need a recipe for the quarantine e many of you are mixologists then please reply back with a good recipe for the corrent for the corona virus quarantine e 2020 cocktail of the decade or hashtag sir mix-a-lot okay hashtag quarantine e is just great yeah hashtag quarantine e great i just want to say that the thing about about Kron is that it is serious and seriously and people are suffering and so on the one hand like I'm not joking when I say you know take take all the orders I'm taking the orders seriously we got gel we got Alko gel every min our happy room right every room is outcomes using one of these like when when people come over he uses one of these like expensive masks yeah so on the one hand take it very seriously and let's stay healthy and let's help other people stay healthy and on the other hand like a little bit of humor well that's how Jews get by right we're famous for our humor us too is hashtag Corona humor is a hashtag I found today and I like it and and then they're a blessing for the czar yeah maybe yeah because how we that's how we roll well the Jews like when we face a tough situation like Boker Tov we we face tough situation all the time do you make little jokes yeah I just I just want to say that there is past Korona there is also other life other news I don't even know what you're talking about so that's exactly my point like today I posted on Twitter a a picture of the almond trees here in Israel flowering and it was such a beautiful photo of just like fields of olive trees flowering and it's just like comment excuse me almond trees flowering and the trees are what gives you the allergy know the almond trees are flowering I think everything gives me allergies now but in any case so beautiful you'll probably notice if you're on social media and you're friends with Israelis who have little kids you probably noticed at some point pictures of your friends kids with some aalam almond blossoms yeah because it's so beautiful that everyone wants to take their kids outside to take pictures yes so and I just I just want to kind of like be like there are other things there are other things it doesn't feel like there's other things that's because you haven't been out a lot okay that's not true he shy it's really look we watched the news every once in a while we plug in our special news box and we watch the news on television here in our house and we watch the news last night was there something else on the news there was nothing else there was one thing there was one thing the effort to form a government right a central government with the aid of the joint Arab list and this shocking shocking demand of the joint Arab list to stop all visitation of Jews on the Temple Mount that is what they want well they want two things they want to stop visitation of Jews on the Temple Mount and they want to cancel out the right of return right I love it and what's unbelievable to me is that they're people in the party you're like okay well think about that yeah like they may even say no but the fact that they would be like we hear you now let's think about it it's just like you guys are non grata you are persona non grata it's like why don't you just go ahead and be jointless then so in that sense look like no one in this country is like oh good a fourth election like it's almost it's sort of insane it's like it's it's not of this world they thought that we would have to go to a fourth election although I did look it up each eye and it turns out that this is not the first time that this has happened on planet Earth there are other governments that have taken like a year two years to form like long times until they could figure it out not that I'm proud of this I think that we need to countries are there I think Italy was one I can't remember I you know gonna say Italy and that is true yet but can I just say Italy is a very portal entry Italy is a beautiful country I myself peple they used they were like the founders of government almost over there that's the story but the Romans also were famous for for solid government but you know what Italy today like the Romans were also famous fighters right aliens are not okay Italians that they make a beautiful things you know they make a beautiful pizza back to the real topic back to the they're very sick over there so it's so sad and somebody I was looking on social media wait I just wanna but it was like why does Italy have such a high death rate yeah and they're like because we have a lot of people who live long they have a long life span there so they have a lot more elderly people that's also true and by the way by the way Italy has a long life span because of their lifestyle you know the diet very calm very beautiful everything's like life is good yeah life is good in Italy but they're not known for their great governance now and I'd like to choose are not known for their great governance either I guess you're right I guess you're right we're so wonderful and we have lots of wonderful qualities but being really like solid governors is I can see us being like Italy and so in a lot of ways you know what now that you think of now that you guys we're just the like more Middle East tense for it like we moved over a knotch plus plus a little bit more you know a thematic yeah with that little Jew brain added you know I had never been to Italy and I hope we're not going there Sam I hope I have the merit to see it one day I hear that Rome is is a place that's that's valuable to visit and and when I go to places like that it really reflects back to me on Israel and and really the Israel of the temple period I'd love to kind of meet it through through meeting like through meeting and a Rome and understanding that but I guess that's neither here nor there since I'm not going in your office you're staying on a mattress on the floor I've remembered a lot of songs that have something to do with like loneliness you know I remember that Phil Collins song it's just another day from you and me you and me and me and you in paradise you and me or me and you I remember and then I remember that one and then I remembered the the Simon Garfunkel song I have my books and my poetry to protect me and then I remembered there's an Israeli song which is officially my private room yeah my private room which is all about like this guy's stuck in his private room and it's so so old kenta so I wanted to make like a collage if and previous radio stations work where I was at that's what we would do immediately we put all like no like like a playlist playlist and we'd be like no not a play that's like a little collage montage of like 30 seconds of like different songs about you know kind of a medley and then you'd be like and then you'd be like and then we finish off with you know if you're stuck in coronavirus enjoy Israel national radio that's what you know everybody that's what we would do I'd be like Ben and this was been press key where I've been working with for many years and and that this our beautiful radio station the Land of Israel calm but when we were working at the first radio station I'd be like Ben we got a situation we got tons of people in in quarantine they're all in there so let's make it let's make a tight little medley 30 seconds or 1 minute medley of all the different no 30 seconds of all the different like songs about 20 alone and then be like Israel national radio with you in quarantine quarantine that's funny yeah that's all we do we had we had a lot of those I wanted to ask people also to write in if they're in quarantine in America certainly right interfere in a quarantine well we'll shout out to you as you're in your lonely lonely lonely I'm on a whatsapp group of I believe that there's all what's up group already of Ellie's in quarantine that is too funny also I saw a beautiful video on Purim of of these like Habad both Graham reading Magilla in on someone's like porch yeah and then the camera turns and you could see that the family is on the other side of the door like inside the house in their quarantine and Habad god bless him and not just Chabad but Habad went around to all different houses this year reading Magilla outside of the front doors of people who could not hear it which was so beautiful you sure you also got to hear a special Magilla reading this year yes i was enjoying the internet of version of Magilla I heard a fabulous internet version live stream live stream live stream however much the rabbi's you know there's a whole holocron that came out about how to conduct yourself on Purim for those people who are in quarantine this year yeah and the rabbi's the revenue to release well the the rabbi's of Israel whose chief revin the Chief Rabbinate thank you the Chief Rabbinate of Israel came out with a whole series of Jewish law about what to do and one of the laws was like no you are not gonna go here Magilla right which is a very big deal right in public so they said what can you do like public you can either hear a a live stream of Magilla or you can read from your kosher cloth if you have a megillah' at home you can read it and then even basically said if you can't do either of those things then just read it out of your book right read them Magilla out of the book and that's the best you can do but like you're not allowed to possibly endanger anybody through your hearing of the Megillah that's right so you shy it was an extra treat for us because we heard you played it nice and loud the Megillah and we heard the Megillah uh like all through the house twice yes and it was very good reading it was an internet it happens to be I want to make it clear though I had a kosher scroll laughs here at home that you bought me for my 40th yeah first day which was really not so long ago so everybody calmed down and and heard it but while reading it to myself from a kosher scroll so I heard it there is such a pleasure of looking at a megillah' scroll and hearing or reading the document itself you really feel like you just got the letter from Mordecai himself for Mordecai and Esther they like wrote it and sent it to you and you're one of the people who received it there's this whole like thing in the Megillah which is like the runners went out with the message in their pouches and they're out there and they're they're giving it to every land and their language and every person in their way I love I love those you know you know Cole I'm you know convolutional all that business I love that business and and when you get when you have a kosher scroll it's like a Persian runner just like brought you just brought you the scroll the info right and you're reading it so I really enjoy that so that was one of the best gifts I've ever got my whole entire life Malcolm well you're welcome you have you gave it to me and I and I and I do recommend that it is a cost but but if you Minoo a lot of people have a lot of cool Judaica in the house maybe one of those silver Etro things I don't have one of them you know a shofar is always nice to have but I do say that having your own Magilla is a pleasure that I also I'm a little bit more Eastern European than you each I yes so I also think to myself if you have a megillah' that's like a good year Russia it's like when you die then your kids are like I have my father's Magilla I tell you Micah I tell you I tell you're a real you're like a real throwback mummy you're like I don't know you're like yeah you're looking at Eastern European you got you got that stuff that you brought with you from from from 2000 years and now planted in the soil of Zion play on and and and you're doing a great mummy thanks so much oh so what I wanted to say before is that we I was interested in hearing for people in quarantine in the United States but there's not that many people in quarantine in the United I just noticed now now it's interesting right because because you and I we live a life in which we kind of bridge the Israeli life and me I'll say American life but really the english-speaking life but really the American life right you and I we're not Australians Australians were not British we're not South African so it's really like the American experience and it has been to Australia twice yeah which is cool I would love to Allah I love you know that I love England I would love to go to Australia Australia a place worth going to once you yeah so when we all get back on planes maybe welcome maybe there'll be cheap tickets and we'll go Australia yeah but the the American we have just to make this public service announcement the group of the AJ I yeah the iji the Australian Jewish Association associate I can't say it Australian Jewish Association who are awesome so awesome kicked off and they're friends with us on Twitter they're our friends they are here out of like a group of I don't remember 35 are here they made it oh wow wow wow I'm gonna turn FS you're gonna have a mini tour and we're gonna be gonna be out of quarantine and time to take them to Hebron yes and on Sunday you and I have dinner so excited to founder of the eye shadow restaurant at a restaurant posit people are less yep we're gonna eat fat awesomeness and yeah we're I'm asking gloves you'll be fine probably and I just wanna say brave the brave members of the iji and they like rerouted their thing they were supposed to stop in through South Korea or something through through so we're supposed to make a stopover which I hate over I here's a very interesting place so I would like to go there to be shy look after this was all done the first like week after everyone is like being okay there's gonna be cheap flights everywhere no they're gonna get expensive no the first thing they're gonna do is be cheap one then they're gonna get it okay because they're gonna want people to get back on the plane first people are you make I don't know if I want to play so they're gonna be like if you look now I'm subscribed to dance deals on Twitter it's one of those things where it shows you like deals that are happening on the internet especially Amazon so it's like a trip from right now from Chicago to no from New York City to Chicago is $37 and also that's like it and you're likely to get the three seats thing yeah yeah it's like practically first-class for $37 just don't just don't touch anything I don't like it when you see those pictures of the Chinese like pointing a temperature gun at your head yeah that's a little unsettling I wish they would I wish it wouldn't look like a gun as much and I like it though it's like this is serious bang bang that's right but yeah I noticed that that Donald Trump excuse me I'm still getting over my cold from last week a little uh-huh I noticed that Donald Trump the President of the United States has finally like done a big thing about coronavirus there was a lot of like debate inside the United States as to whether we're supposed to be like really nonchalant this is gonna be fine it's not a big deal and that seemed to be the tack the Trump was taking for a long time and everyone's like dude the whole world is totally waking out and you're not waking out at all and then now he is placed like a flight ban on most of Europe and like foreign nationals are like not supposed to come it's sort of like the Israeli model right now which is which is Israel's model is like foreigners are not supposed to arrive here right but Israelis can still kind of on whatever flight they can get and then they have to go into two weeks of quarantines so Americans I don't think they have to go in I'm not sure but I don't think they have to go into two weeks of quarantine or any kind of quarantine once they get back yeah but I a little bit because Israel has been like so intense about coronavirus and also because we really we are social Jews are flying all over here there and people are coming in all the time congregated me deal with people a lot yeah so so we have these like hundred cases now which seems kind of disproportionate for a country that only has 8 million people right but really it's it's kind of a testament to how hard Israel is trying to prevent the corona virus from spreading and we've had some like there was a story on the news there was something tonight about a guy who worked at the airport and he had the horrible flu and his wife was like beating down the door of the hospital begging them just given the corona virus virus test and they were like no and then he ended up having corona virus he'd been all over the hospital he'd been all over the place and like so that was like such an unnecessary risk but that one story like also got out all over the country I think that it will change the protocol protocol is a very big thing yeah when it comes to this corona virus all right mark listen I've I've I've exhausted the corona virus yeah need to discuss yeah I feel I feel like first thing let's bless everybody with Brut yes total health and mash em mash em give us total health but also III want to say I believe that there's a moment here a moment this is an article I'm trying to write here a moment of reflection our world as it's been going has been upended right the speed of which and we're lucky that it hasn't been upended more and we need to really pray to God that it won't be waiting tomorrow wait yes but I'm trying to say something here which is there's the time here to reflect about everything for example about the nature of globalization how quickly it's all going the pace of our life like my pace of my life personally has slowed down tremendously in the past few days because of this quarantine and it's just like where is it all going what is the pace of life all taking us like what is this globalized world what is its purpose where is it going why is it happening why or in a religious way why is God making it that we've become globalized what's the let's have a thought moment here for a second let's think about it let's be like what is this really all about moreover you know the internet and all that connectivity like what's it all for there was another thought that I had about about thinking about it Oh thinking about the Israeli government like like maybe is we're quarantined a little bit let's just think a little bit about the nature of the State of Israel how it's working maybe our government system needs a reformation now maybe we need geographic representation maybe we need services Rebeck talked about last week voting only if you've served the state maybe we need to just take a pause and think and then and then I want to think about the air parties like why do you want to stop shoes from going to the Temple Mount that's wackadoodle and and why aren't you more loyal imagine if there was a party that wanted to stop Muslims from going in the temple yeah what would what kind of outcry with that I like that I'm gonna tweet that I'm gonna tweet that I know here's my answer you know I mean let's stop Arabs going from the Temple Mount how does that sound I like that very much that's a great that's a great meme you didn't I mean let's let's just and i just trying to say that given the moment of coronavirus it's a great moment to just do a deep think famously the head of Microsoft Bill Gates Bill Gates or the founder of Microsoft he takes like a week off a year to read he like detox us from connectivity and takes off like a week to read that's nice and to think the big thoughts that's what he says he says like it's time to think the big thoughts that's all I think about Kron it's like him everything that we've known like our life has just been so turned upside down so let's like take this time to like consider write PS maybe not coincidentally this week is the Torah portion of ki Tisa which is I think certainly can be named amongst the most dramatic moments in text in in in dramatic biblical moments the moment where where the the sin of the golden calf Moses come in close to Shem begging him to keep going with the Jewish people this back and forth the revealing of God's face even more to Moses Moses coming down the mountain with his face glowing let's take time to like get mystical think deep thoughts one of my favorite meditations is to try to imagine what it looked like to see Moses coming down off that mountain with his face glowing just imagine that you know and that's my point my point is like let's not just be in yet another like very fast-paced I mean like I'm psycho um I got chronic chronic karna like okay there's a message here I don't know what the message is by the way it's not a coincidence that the word Kuroda means Crown covet right which covered means like honor right but like but like carrion in here yeah but like I just I'm just trying to recommend to everybody be like use this moments use this moment to like look into your own life look at the pace of your life your relationships with other people look inside yourself how are you treating yourself your mind your own body how are you treating your time how are you treating your money how are you treating God how much time do you give God I'll never forget that I I have a friend who suffered a pretty intense bout of cancer of the tongue and when he came through that horrible horrible disease that he faced in which a big chunk of his tongue was cut out and all kinds of stuff like that he dedicated the rest of his life to learning Torah and and I was always like uh-huh you know there's person who like saw it saw the end and was like okay I'm coming back to life but I'm gonna dedicate my life to Tory and I'm just trying to say let's let's use this moment for some deep global introspection right you know introspection and it's being forced it's been forced upon us it's not like I'm like say I'm not saying everybody take a week off and consider the whole something is telling us think about things

plague you know like like you know we have to there's two popes around today not that this matters but it was funny to me like like there's two popes and a plague right that's what it was like in the 14th century and like all I'm saying is there's a plague out there it's time to to just have a think out of what life where life is leading us where it's going what how it could be a little bit better
