Episode: Your Rabbi Reports on the War Live From Israel
Date: 10/11/23 Length: 48:31
Daniel Lapin 0:00
Greetings, happy warriors and welcome to the Rabbi Daniel Lapin show coming to tonight from Jerusalem, where we are coming to the end of day four of the war that was launched with a brutal commerce attack on about 20 Small Israeli villages and farms and kibbutzes. Early on Saturday morning. Each night, I've been hearing the Israeli jets on bombing runs to Gaza, and returning back to prepare for their next story. And to tonight, as I speak to you from the center of Jerusalem, I do not hear any plans at all. Which leads me to suppose that we may be anticipating a very significant and large ground invasion of the Gaza area, very soon, indeed. There have been over 300,000 troops from the reserves that have been mobilized. And for a country the size of Israel, there is huge. If one one just thinks about the reality, Israel is about 7 million Jews, America is about 330 million Americans. And so it's, you know, the population, it's about a between 30 and 40 times larger. And what that means is that 300,000 American, Israeli troops mobilized, you know, is more like a 10 million America, imagine 10 million people who are busy driving buses and working in restaurants and, and driving trucks bringing food to the markets. Imagine if all of those were suddenly taken and forced to go to their military bases and not be able to do their jobs. Right, you would naturally expect the economy to roll to a standstill. And in Israel, the stress of maintaining that larger number of people on reserve duty is certainly very real indeed. Now, talking about the comparative sizes, it's important, I think, to note that about 1000 Israelis, so far unknown to have been murdered by the commerce incursion on Saturday. Now, again, that would be the equivalent of, you know, 30 to 40,000 Americans murdered in a single day. Think of 9/11, September the 11th 2001. It was about under 3000, just under 3000 People imagine. Imagine 10 times that 15 times that. And Israel was very closely connected country, people know each other. And so everybody now we know people have attended funerals of people have been killed. It's there's no getting away from it over here. It's very real, very much something that touches everybody's lives.
Daniel Lapin 3:55
And, you know, we were not aware of just how big a deal this was, because we didn't hear anything until about 9am. On Saturday morning, I was in synagogue with a friend and the sirens went off now. It hasn't sirens haven't been heard for a long time. And this is in a small town called Ephrat? Just south of Jerusalem. From my friend's balcony, you can actually see the buildings of Jerusalem over the hills, so we weren't far away. And a little while later, a soldier in uniform came by and said everyone should go home and the services everyone should go home. But it wasn't until that evening after we ended the holiday and ended the Sabbath that we began to have a sense of just what had taken place. And the shock and trauma has been palpable when you think about it, up till now the biggest pet attack. The most dangerous attack that Israel sustained was on October the sixth 1973. It was known as the Yom Kippur War, the War that was launched on the Day of Atonement. And it was a war that came very close to ending things for Israel. The first two days taken by shock and surprise, with inadequate preparations and poor intelligence, Israel was simply not ready for the onslaught of the Egyptian army across the Suez Canal in the south, and the onslaught of the Syrian army across the Golan Heights in the north. And, as I say, for for two days, things looked very very bad. The death toll was very high among Israeli soldiers. But here's the interesting thing, the civilian death toll during the Yom Kippur War that came close. I mean, it ended the career of legendary Israeli general Moshe Dayan with the eyepatch. It ended the career of Prime Minister Golda may here because it came so close and the Arab army is exalted in having come close to wiping out the shame and humiliation of the Six Day War, they nearly ended Israel. And the civilian death toll during the Yom Kippur War was zero, not a single civilian killed because part of the Israeli military doctrine is protecting civilians at all costs. So much so that the army is dedicated to fighting wars on enemy territory, not on their own. And this was why the Six Day War was fought in the Sinai desert and on the Golan Heights, but never in Israeli population centers. Israeli civilians have been protected and defended diligently and courageously by the Israel Defence Force The IDF?
Daniel Lapin 7:02
Well, this last Saturday 1000 civilians wiped out. And the specter of the Nazi holocaust against the Jews in the middle of the 20th century, still hangs hauntingly over Israel. And so the first thought that almost every Israeli voluntarily held on Saturday, when we began to recognize the colossal proportions of this attack was that the last time this many Jews had been murdered in one day would have been during World War Two during the Nazi Holocaust during the genocide of the Jews. So this, this, this resonated very emotionally and very, very intensely with people throughout Israel and paused tremendous and continues to cause tremendous upset on Sunday evening. By the end of the second day of the war, Susan Lapin and I walked to the busiest section in Jerusalem, a place that ordinarily bustled with nightlife with restaurants with stores open for hours, bright lights, activities, entertainment, a stage just a place where on any night of the week, you ordinarily would see. Probably 10,000 People gathered milling around going from restaurant to restaurant from from street display to street display. And Susan, I walked there on Sunday night, it was quite eerie. We were really creeped out to it was deserted and dark everything shut, because Israelis had just become aware of what they had suffered what had been inflicted upon them. And, and they were completely shocked into paralysis. The point part of the reason is that there were very haunting videos and images of Israelis under attack in these proximately 20 Small towns and villages calling on their phones: is the army coming to help us?
Daniel Lapin 9:36
and we were shown you could see videos online of Arab terrorists literally going from house to house setting them on fire and as the people began to be as fixated inside from the smoke they came running out and were then literally butchered some had their throats. I'm I'm not going to get to To vivid, if you don't mind it's just to blood chilling and, and, and her just unbearably horrible 40 Babies found that had been decapitated. It's torture, rape, the most unbelievable things that happen but what shocked Israel during those first two days was stupefaction, just complete bafflement and incomprehensibility at how this could have happened. Because other than the current the border between North and South Korea, there is no other more policed border in the world than the 40 or 50 miles of Gaza border fence separating Gaza from Israel. And it's watched 24/7 by multiple layers, drones and electronic surveillance and, and physical presence. It's all sets those that if anything larger than a fox moves near the fence, alerts go off. And yet, at 6:30 on Saturday morning, giant yellow bulldozers went up to the fence from the Gaza side and began tearing it apart, creating huge gaps through which poured over 1000 fully armed Islamic terrorists. A small number of them flew in overhead on motorized hang gliders and flying flying parachutes. I forget the exact term. But for the most part, they came across on motorcycles and in small pickup trucks. And they themselves said, you know, we expected to be immediately confronted by the army. Turns out they had five to six hours, extraordinarily five to six hours with before the army got there, and this is all very hard to understand, because these villages that were attacked and so mercilessly suffered massacres. It's 20 minutes by helicopter from Tel Aviv from military headquarters from a dozen military air bases and army bases. It's right there Israel's a small country. And so how is it that people were left to fend for themselves against the strained, rampaging mob of terrorists for hours? And so, obviously, this is something that's going to end up in a commission of inquiry. It'll be bigger than the Commission of Inquiry agronomic commission after the Yom Kippur War, and that one resulted in the termination of the career of General Moshe Dayan ended Golda, Prime Minister Golda Mayer's political career, because in Israel, the military is everything the military is looked up to as everything that makes Israel possible, Israel would have been overrun time and time and time again, we're not for Israel's much-heralded intelligence system and a military system. And, of course, the Yom Kippur War was a massive intelligence failure. Israel was struck by a surprise attack and a surprise attack that really looked as if it was going to achieve its end of wiping out Israel and killing off all the Jews that were living at the time in the land. And this failure that occurred on Saturday morning, October the seventh was significantly more substantial. It was a failure, hard to comprehend intelligence and military hard to comprehend, and I have no explanation for it at all. But I can tell you this, that right now, the atmosphere throughout Israel is one of unification. People are are dedicated. People are standing in the streets, throwing food and bottles of water and candy and, and hot dogs onto military transport trucks that are carrying reservists both to the southern front, near Gaza, as well as to the north, just in case of Hezbollah, decides to join their Hamas brethren and launch an attack into northern Israel from Lebanon. There have been small incidents there during the day today. And again, to remind you or We're recording this on Tuesday evening in Israel. It is actually a Tuesday morning or Tuesday lunchtime in, in the United States of America. Just to give you a sense of the timing and a word about rockets. Yes. The Gazans have been sending somewhere around about 5000 rockets into Israel since Saturday morning.
Daniel Lapin 15:30
And I should explain to you that these are unguided. They're sort of pointed in the rough general direction, and they're launched from a launcher that sends off about 12 of them at a time mounted on the back of a pickup truck. You don't want to be thinking v2 rocket and World War Two vintage or anything even more recent, a v2 rocket stood about 20 or 30 feet tall. It was a gigantic machine that was sent from occupied Europe by the Nazis into England, mostly London. Those were devastatingly destructive and considerably more accurate than what we're seeing here. Not to minimize it. But these are relatively small. They these Qassam rockets that the Gazans are sending, they stand about four, they're about four foot long, four or five feet long. They're about the diameter of a big bottle of Coca Cola, perhaps something like that. And they do carry a warhead. But it's not huge. Let me put it this way. They're not going to be doing a lot of damage against concrete apartment buildings. Most most buildings in Israel are built of concrete because there's not a whole lot of wood here, but they have plenty of concrete. And so these rockets, if they if they land on cars, they cause a fire. If they actually hit the side of a building, they do cause damage. If they land anywhere near people, they do cause death. But the main purpose of these rockets, happy warriors, is to overwhelm Israel's Iron Dome system. Israel's Iron Dome system was developed jointly by Israel and the United States, and Israel builds them. Israel has deployed 10 Iron Dome batteries and they're working on another five, they want to increase it to 15. Each battery is designed to be able to protect about 60 square miles of residential area. And here's how the system works. By the way, there are very, very expensive systems because there's a huge amount of very high-speed computing going on. Senses, eyes sense the launch of a missile from Gaza. And within milliseconds that trajectory is calculated. And a rough idea of where it is likely to land out there. It's never it, there's always several of them, because they they have multiple launchers mounted on the backs of little traps, as I said, and, and as soon as they've got the trajectory figured out. This thing is still rising in the air. Two things happen. The first thing is an alarm is sent to the siren centers of wherever the rockets are going to land. And they're remarkably accurate on this, the sirens go off and Israelis immediately stop whatever they're doing and run into their bomb shelters. And we did this on Saturday morning during the Simchat Torah service. When the sirens went off, the service immediately stopped and I was just swept along with a crowd down into the basement area where the bomb shelter was located. That's how these things work. And that's the first thing that happens once the Iron Dome has detected the trajectory of the incoming rockets. The second thing that happens is that it launches its own battery of rockets. And this is very amazing stuff.
Daniel Lapin 19:34
Imagine if you will, imagine that you're holding a rifle and somebody 100 yards away from you is going to fire a 357 Magnum revolver. Your job now is to use your rifle to fire a bullet that will hit the bullet that just exited the barrel. Have the revolver 100 yards away, you see how preposterous that sounds, I'm going to fire a rifle to hit a bullet. And yet, that's exactly what the Iron Dome system does. And we saw, we saw this happen, we heard it happen. And we watched the contrails in the sky numerous times during the course of this past Saturday, during the day. And so you'll see the contrails of the ascending rockets from Gaza. And within a short space of time seconds at the most you'll see the sound, you'll see the trails of the Iron Dome rockets ascending. And then there's a clash, you hear the thud of the explosions, as the Iron Dome, take out the rockets of the Hamas that have been sent over. And that, of course, is the main purpose, the main purpose is deplete Israel's resources. When you think about it, of course, the capacity to wage war is essentially an economic question. Every single bullet costs money, every single gun costs money, every pound of high explosive costs money. And and so how much does it cost? to harm us to fire off a custom rocket? Somewhere between 75 and $150? That's what it costs. I mean, these are pieces of pipe and there's really nothing to them. And what does it cost to fire the Iron Dome? Somewhere around $100- $200,000 every single time, you understand that this is a very, very profitable game for Hamas, because there is a limited amount of small country like Israel, right? How many Iron Dome rounds? Can they actually fire? How many do they have available? At some point? Hamas' almost limitless ability to shoot these pieces of exaggerated plumbing up into the sky, which triggers the Iron Dome system. And again, you may say, Well, why you know if these are not they're damaging, why does Israel deploy the Iron Dome system? And the answer is once again, Israel's military doctrine, which is protection of civilians at all costs, which is why as I have said already, the death toll of civilians from Saturday's attack is just more than Israelis can handle. It's just people are speechless. People are traumatized, people are shocked. And at the same time, there is a sense of, of confidence, a sense of unity, unity, and also very much a sense that we're not gonna deal right now with what went wrong. What we're going to deal with now is ending the Hamas threat once and for all. That's what Israelis feel is about to happen.
Daniel Lapin 23:14
My sense, I think is very likely that a ground action will begin in hours rather than days. The fact that I'm not hearing because of bombardment going on right now suggest to me that perhaps they're getting ready to send in a land invasion force. It seems to be in the final analysis, there's to be any hope at all of retrieving hostages, and those chances are slim at best. But if there's to be any chance at all, and if there's to be any chance of really cutting off the head of the Hamas monster. It can't all be done by air bombardment. It is going to require boots on the ground. And with the very large mobilization of reserves, it would seem that that is exactly what is planned. It would not surprise me. If by the time I awake tomorrow morning, which will be Wednesday morning in Israel and late middle of the night in the United States this action may already be underway. We shall we shall see. But Israel certainly cannot sustain a lengthy period of 300,000 reservists mobilized because the fact is that you can see when you can see that businesses are operating at reduced capacity restaurants are either closed or operating with a limited capacity. That isn't taxis are not running as frequently as they ordinarily do. because so many people are in uniform, and either at the Southern Front, or at the Northern Front. There are also people guarding the settlement area of Judea and Samaria, Judea and Samaria. There are people guarding in Jerusalem. So it is a country at war. That is clearly what is happening.
Daniel Lapin 25:25
And on a broader front, what is happening, I think is that we have to realize what kind of battle this is. I was quite astonished to watch a BBC Newscast on Sunday, I believe it was on the second day of the war. And this BBC, quote, Middle East expert said, what we have to understand is that this war is about nothing but land. And he's completely wrong. That simply is not true. Regardless of land, the determination of Arab armies to drive Israel into the ocean, the determined reluctance to accept the existence of Israel, the stated and proclaimed mission of killing off every Jew in the land of Israel. All of this is well documented. It's the idea of trading land for peace was always a non-starter and appealed to nobody, but the far-left. Idealistic, naive, woke people around the world, the idea that somehow or another, if one would only give land to the Arabs peace would come. It's laughable and Arabs themselves laughed at us. This is not about land in the slightest, and nobody had any intention of from the Arab side, the intention was to take as much land as they could and certainly not return with peace. On the Israeli side, unfortunately, there was this naive idea after the Six-Day War, again legendary general Moshe Dayan in an act of unbelievable naivety, naivete and foolishness, handed over the entire Temple Mount area to the Arabs. Excuse me, what is "losing a war" mean?
Daniel Lapin 27:37
It and as I think people who are interested, probably know a little bit about the history that this area after World War Two was governed by British mandate. And finally, even though that in 1917, Britain made the Balfour Declaration was it 17. Let me let me take the backup and I'm not 100% sure that date, but a statement that Her Majesty's Government views with faith the idea of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. But the bottom line is that Britain became weary of running this part of the world and in 1948, basically, arranged a partition plan with the United Nations in which a small sliver of land was granted to the Jewish settlement, and the bulk of the surrounding area was granted to the Arabs. This United Nations Partition Plan was accepted by the Jews, rejected by the Arabs, the Jews went ahead and declared the State of Israel in existence in May 1948. And at that very, very moment, same day, all the Arab nations contiguous to Israel declared war on Israel and invaded that really by all logical standards, that should have been the end. That's many, many, many 10s of millions of Arabs invading a small settlement of a few 100,000 Jews, not much help. Nonetheless, the war waged, and a few months later, Israel had won. And they won expanded territory. None of this was ever accepted, of course, again in 1967, Israel was under attack this the streets had been shut, Israel was embargoed, and they finally launched their attack to open the borders and to be able to resume the flow of oil to Israel and everything else they needed. And, again, territory, the Golan Heights and the the Sinai Peninsula were captured by Israel and certain parts returned. Parts of the West Bank captured by Israel. And, again, you got to remember up till that point Israel at its narrowest point was about 10 miles across, it always lived under the threat of being divided in two. It was a huge logistical and military problem, the War of 1967 solved that. And, and so you're here, here they are. And extraordinarily against all odds, Israel still survives. And people are baffled. I mean the army, the Israel Defence Force, which is always promised and delivered. And on Saturday, October the seventh 2023, The colossal failure of proportions that are terrifying the incomprehensible. But as I said, everybody is of the shared and common opinion that this will be investigated after the war is over, when everything settles down, and the danger of Hamas has been neutralized.
Daniel Lapin 31:12
It is my view and I have no evidence and no inside information on this, but knowing the players, knowing the history, and taking my cues, from certain things big and small that have been happening. It is my deep conviction that Saudi Arabia is in very close communication with Israel and has been since Saturday. It is my view that Saudi Arabia has essentially said to Israel, go for it, do what you have to do. And we will work on making sure that Iran and Syria know that if they interfere on the Northern Front, that they will be dealing with a very large problem. I don't want to go into the Shiite issue and the Sunni issue in Arab politics. Suffice it to say that Saudi Arabia is as unhappy with Iran as Israel is. And Donald Trump, President Donald Trump changed the economic and political contours of the Middle East in a way that had never been done by anybody else. He really has. And so for the last few years, Israelis have been vacationing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. And Gulf residents have been coming to Israel. There's a lot of trade and tourism between them. Saudi Arabia is somehow involved in this as well. And I have no doubt, as I said, that Saudi Arabia is sort of somehow on some level, unofficially watching Israel's back on what is going on now. It is my view that if there was going to be any serious opportunistic participation, from Syria or from Hezbollah, in the north, in Lebanon, or from Iran, my feeling is it was going to, it would have happened already. And I don't think it is happening. But I, as I say, I do think Israel is on the threshold of putting boots on the ground in Gaza, and literally decapitating Hamas, making sure that Hamas is no longer a threat to anybody, anywhere ever again. I mean, and honestly, I don't know that politically, the government in Israel can do anything less. The population, and I can't emphasize this enough, although I know I've said this repeatedly, but the population is is so utterly traumatized by what happened on Saturday, that 1000 and more terrorists, cut through the border, enter Israel attack about 20 small settlements, and inflict the worst civilian casualties the State of Israel has ever had in 75 years. I don't know that the people of Israel will tolerate anything less than the annihilation of Hamas. And so that's why between that and the size of the mobilization, it's my feeling that we are going to see Israel going into Gaza on the ground very, very soon, much sooner than later. And God bless them. This is not going to be a simple operation, it's not going to be an inexpensive operation in blood and treasure. And the the story is by no means over yet. We shall we shall see. And as far as we are concerned, we pray and and hope that all works.
Daniel Lapin 35:25
Well. You know, a lot of the statements have been incredibly silly. Some people in America, officials in America have been saying, we urge restraint -- violence never solves anything. Well, as I'm sure you as a happy warrior, know, that simply is a lie. Violence always solves something. It was explicitly violence that ended the war with Japan. It was General Curtis Lamaze firebombing of Tokyo, early in 45, followed by the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. That's what solved the problem of the war with Japan. And it was the utter obliteration of Nazi Germany that solved the problem with Germany. Churchill, Churchill said nothing but total surrender, no negotiations, we will inflict unmitigated violence on Germany until there is total and complete surrender. See, violence really does work, contrary to what people say. And, and so there is going to have to be violence inflicted on the terrorist cells in in Gaza, in order to terminate this another false doctrine that you hear a lot of is proportional response. It's, it's simply not a reality. You know, just just think about it. If, you know, if you were being assaulted by a home invader? Would you be thinking about a proportional response? After all, he hasn't killed you yet, right? He's just trying to terrify you and steal your possessions and maybe harm your family. Now, there isn't such thing as proportional response, you want an all-out devastating removal of the threat. And that's exactly what the Allies did to Japan and Germany and World War Two. It's exactly what you have to do under all circumstances. So this is a completely false doctrine, that response should be proportional. How you punch me once, I'll punch you once. No, that's not how the world really works. You know that nine out of that. So that that gives you a little bit of a picture if circumstances warrant, I will do another report from Jerusalem. But if not, then it'll be next week that you will next hear from me. And I hope that things will quieten down with complete victory on the side of civilization against barbarism for that is exactly what this conflict is really all about. Think about this, if I asked you the question, how many civilizations are there in the world?
Daniel Lapin 38:25
And the answer is very simple one. It is Western civilization. And if you don't believe me, believe the dead Africans who drown in the Mediterranean trying desperately to reach Western civilization. Speak to the millions of people from South America who have trudged through jungle and desert, to cross the Rio Grande River to enter Western civilization. Speak to the vast hordes of people who have emigrated to France and to Sweden, speak to the huge numbers of people who have emigrated to Canada. Western civilization is the only civilization there is. How many cultures are there in the world? Oh, about 5000 have varying degrees of effectiveness. And by the way, the only cultures that have proven to be durable and effective are those that practice marriage, monogamous marriage, one man married to one woman. It's kind of interesting that that's the only kind that works leading towards civilization. But civilization is nothing other than the Bible projected onto a larger political landscape. That's all it is. That is what Western civilization is all about. This is why over 97% of scientific, technological and medical advances. Of the 1000 years leading up to World War One took place in Christendom. They took place in Western civilization. Yes, it's true that the Chinese did know about gunpowder. But all they did was paint pretty pictures in the sky with it. China today, by the way, is very different story. But it was only Western civilization that had the industrial revolution. It was Western civilization that developed banking and commerce that developed the idea of a corporation. It was Western civilization that developed medicine, it was Western civilization, that began to build a role for women in society. It was Western civilization, that eschewed violence in favor of voting that replaced bullets with ballots, Western civilization created civilization. Western civilization is a biblical vision for human interaction. And it was, by the way, clear, that colonization by European powers, England, Belgium, Germany, France, was not a big, evil, horrible sin. You know, and I know that for many people, this is shocking and unendurable. But the the dogma from the left at the moment that the worst sin in the world was cloning, simply not true. Civilization was brought to parts of the world that simply did not have it. And, and these values of civilization are under assault they have been for some time. And what you're seeing taking place in Israel right now, is an ultimate battle, a titanic struggle between civilization and barbarism. That's what it is. And barbarism has always knocked on the gates of civilization. Barbarism has always tried to invade and destroy, because after having destroyed outposts of civilization, barbarism, then lives in the wrecked ruins of what they destroyed, knowing that it was still better than anything that barbarians could possibly have built for themselves. That's the truth. And that is the reality. And that's really exactly what is going on right now. It is a struggle. It's not about religion. It's not about the land. It's a struggle between barbarism and civilization. And it should give pause to think, for Americans in general to realize that the forces of barbarism have taken over the American University campus. The same is true in different parts of Europe. Barbarism, can infect people of higher education, barbarism can infect people of high IQ. And it did in Germany, no one could have been better educated or more cultured than the Germans. But Nazism represented barbarism against the civilization of England and America. That's what happened in World War Two. And this is part of God's revealed plan for humanity, that there will always be this titanic struggle between barbarism and civilization. And one has to realize barbarism is not always practiced by savages in loincloths, hurling spears. And that's not true at all barbarism can be practiced by university professors in three-piece Armani suits. barbarism can be practiced by people under all circumstances, all conditions, and civilization can be protected and is often protected by people of all races and colors. Civilization is frighteningly fragile, and it is based on the values of Judeo-Christian tradition. That's what it is. And Islam has nearly always in its fight against civilization, whether it was Islam, trying to invade Europe. and reaching the gates of Vienna in September 1683. That was civilization defending itself against attack by barbarism. The destruction of the Ottoman fleet at Lopinto. That was the final gospel of barbarianism, at that time, being defeated by the Christian forces of Europe, when Thomas Jefferson sent Lieutenant Ducada [sp] to North Africa to subdue the Barbary pirates, who had captured and imprisoned and kidnapped and held us hostage, Christians from towns all around Europe, it was again, a fight between civilization and barbarism. This is ongoing, and each and every one of us deep in our hearts have to ask ourselves, which side are we on? Are we willing to shed blood and spilled treasure in order to defend civilization? Or are we going to delight in the savagery of burning fires, as looting takes place? And we saw this right in the summer of 2020, in the United States of America, and in many occasions, since then, the forces of barbarism trying to take down the fragile and perilous civilization that the founders gave when the United States of America was established in 1776. And to this to this very day, this battle continues. We see it in heightened sharp relief in Israel right now, where Israel, a bastion of Western civilization, is defending itself against a horrific and brutal assault by the forces of the barbarians. That is the reality. Barbarians can come in every color and every clothing and in every garb, it doesn't matter. barbarianism is determined to destroy all the values that have laboriously over many, many, many years, built the beauties and tranquility of Western civilization. So, ladies and gentlemen, dear happy warriors. It is with anxiety in my heart, of course, that I speak to you this evening and present to you an unusual episode of the Rabbi Daniel Lapin show. And as I said, I hope it will be another week and another episode of the show will be posted. However, if events warranted, I will do a special between now and then. Praying for good times for everybody except for the barbarians. I am your rabbi. Wishing you a week of growth and progress with your five s with your family, with your faith, with your friendships, with your finances, and with your fitness. Indeed, the five pillars of civilized life. God bless.
