00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000
And… start our… start our official minion here. Records in the club.

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:11.000
Alright. I'm taking my Talit here, and I invite you to do the same.

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:20.000
If you've got one, to wrap it around your… shoulders to come into a little tent of intention.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:29.000
Wrap yourself in light. And the warm embrace of thousands of years of tradition.

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:42.000
This morning… Take a few deep breaths, sitting up a little bit straighter, or… You know, standing a little bit straighter, whatever position you're in, so that you can take a full, deep breath.

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:50.000
There are a few.

00:00:50.000 --> 00:01:00.000
Feeling grateful for the morning, grateful for being alive today. Grateful for the gift of breath.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:09.000
Let me say the blessing for putting on a tallit by Rujata mitzvotav.

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:20.000
That's it, sit. I mean…

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:28.000
Alright. And, uh, I had… I had a niggun in my head that I felt like, well, if it's in my head, then maybe I'll put it in your heads, too.

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:34.000
Um, and so this is just, like. I feel like it's a gentle waking up nigun.

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:39.000
Um, this is called Ramzornegun. I actually have no idea for what purpose.

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:44.000
Rabbi Deb Sachs Mintz wrote this nigun, whether mourning fits into that.

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:50.000
Schema, or whether she wrote it for a different time of day. Nonetheless, we're gonna use it for morning and waking up here.

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:58.000
So… take the next few moments to just enjoy, let all the sounds begin to wake up, you know, the different.

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:06.000
Dendrites and synapses in your brain, and. Think about the intention you're setting for your day as you're here in Minion this morning.

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:22.000
We'll come back together.

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:35.000
Feel free, as you have an intention for your day, to drop it in the chat.

00:02:35.000 --> 00:03:05.000
One nayo.

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:48.000
Holiday! On Mayo.

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:55.000
Horona!

00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:25.000
One night on!

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:35.000
Oh, wait, that's a totally different one. Oh, and this is where we're going now, but actually, I'm gonna pull off the screen share…

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:42.000
See, I gave you Rabbi Deb Sachs so you could hear it, and so pretty, but now you can join me and sing.

00:05:42.000 --> 00:06:01.000
Io. Now we're gonna try and experiment here.

00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:13.000
Never done this before… We're gonna see how it goes…

00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:40.000
Vic, I am a Danny.

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:49.000
Oh, Danny.

00:06:49.000 --> 00:07:08.000
Let's go on, Shahazzartabi.

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:14.000
Border, honey.

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:21.000
This guy I'm older, honey.

00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:40.000
Vicayamoda. Lift the MLFI.

00:07:40.000 --> 00:08:05.000
So the last time we gathered here, the last time I gathered with you, we talked about metaphors for God, alternative euphemisms, other words, you know, if you don't want to say the word God because it's somehow not expressive enough, or expansive enough, or deep enough, or descriptive enough. So then, you know, other words we say, and we had words like source, and love, and then there are two different words here.

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:15.000
Common Jewish euphemism, king, and then Ruach. I also, you know, also a powerful Jewish euphemism, spirit.

00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:22.000
Um, and Melech, you know, we see throughout Jewish liturgy as a way of.

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:27.000
Referring to God as, like, above and beyond all earthly power.

00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:32.000
Right? Um, and then Ruach is, you know, we see it in the book of Genesis, right away.

00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:38.000
You know, the Ruach Elohim mirachefat al-Pune Amayim, the Spirit of God.

00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:43.000
Like, fluttering gently over the waters, it's a much more gentle, kind of imminent.

00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:56.000
Um, presence, you know, much less about, um. Kind of hierarchical power, like, top-down, higher than all… higher than all vertical powers, and more, like, uh, expansive.

00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:07.000
Horizontally, you know? Like, infusing. All people and things, and… just sort of curious, you know, waking up this morning, today.

00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:12.000
Is there a particular… Is there a particular version of God, like.

00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:18.000
God is all these things, right? You know, a teacher of mine once said, you know, when you find yourself.

00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:25.000
Arguing with a concept of God. You know, rather than saying, God's not that, why not just say.

00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:33.000
God's also that. And also, you know, all of the other things that you want to posit, rather than making God smaller, why not make God bigger?

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:44.000
Um, but I'm wondering… which version of a higher power, or a bigger power, a more expansive, embracing, you know, like, which version of this.

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:56.000
Feels most potent to you today? You know, um… Ah, your child's name is Ruach, so you lean into that one, that's beautiful.

00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:12.000
Um, the interpretation of Ruach, feeling the energy and connectivity. Mmm… Yeah. Others, feel free to unmute, you can put it in the chat, or you can unmute. Oh, have I? Yeah, that's another beautiful one.

00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:18.000
It's just, you know what's interesting, Lori, is the reason why I didn't put that one as an option, as I was, you know, making.

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:25.000
As I was asking, was just because, yeah, we talked about a lot of these differences. Macomb, yes, Place of All.

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:30.000
I was actually interested in, like, um, juxtaposing these two versions, like.

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:37.000
The sort of vertical hierarchy and the sort of expansive horizontal. I kind of wanted to, like, juxtapose these two.

00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:58.000
Um, not because they're the only two, but because they're, uh, they invite us into different versions of, like, I don't know, where's my… Where's my heart leaning this morning? Um… I think I might have mentioned… I think I might have mentioned at some point, you know, in the, um, Song of the Sea, there is a line that says, Adonai Ish Milchama.

00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:04.000
Um, you all know what I'm talking about, now I'm gonna zoom forward, I'm gonna zoom forward to OZ Vazim Ratya.

00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:11.000
Um. Right, right here.

00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:17.000
And this, uh, shows up in a couple places. One of them is in Exodus 15.

00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:28.000
In the Song of the Sea. Moses leads the Jewish people, Moses, Miriam, Aaron, they lead the Jewish people across the sea, they're so scared, they get to the other side, they're relieved, they sing.

00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:35.000
And so they sing this alphabetical song. Um… And every line in the song is a song of praise to God.

00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:51.000
This is one of those lines. So this is one of the places this appears, and then the other one is in Psalms. Um… Anyway, um… Every one of the lines in, you know what, it's just, you know, now that I'm riffing off of this.

00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:54.000
Now I'm gonna… I'm gonna have to pull it up on Safaria.

00:11:54.000 --> 00:12:01.000
Um, to show you. Tanakh? Sure, why not? We'll find it in Tanakh, we'll go into Genesis.

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:09.000
We'll go into Genesis 15. And we'll look at it. We'll look at it for a second. Boom.

00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:16.000
Right? So you can see this in context. Then Moses and the Israelites sang their song to God.

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:27.000
They said, I will sing, for God has triumphed gloriously. Horse and driver, he hurled into the sea.

00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:33.000
God is my strength and my might. God is becoming my deliverance, which, of course.

00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:42.000
In what context is Zemer? Strength. I thought that was song. We usually translate it as my song and my might, or something like that. But anyway.

00:12:42.000 --> 00:13:00.000
That's where this shows up. And then, out of night, Ish Milchama, Adonai Shemo. God. God the Warrior. God is his name, but… The work Ishmil Chamad, does anybody want to translate that more directly?

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:01.000
Man of War.

00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:02.000
Amount of war.

00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:24.000
Man of War! So, you know what? It, like, it hits… it, uh, it triggers multiple buttons for a person who's, you know, an egalitarian feminist and doesn't like seeing God-rendered so explicitly, you know, in masculine language, because we know, of course, Jewish tradition does not think of God as a literal man. Um, that's, like, the whole Second Commandment is not.

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:29.000
Turning God into a graven image of a person, because God is not a person, God is.

00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:38.000
Far beyond that. We don't, you know, not ascribing gender or a body or whatever, so what are you doing here, Tora, saying God as an ish, and then milchamah of war?

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:44.000
Ugh, you know, we don't like that, because it's violent, and because, like, war involves death and killing, and.

00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:50.000
And more crimes, and other things that we know very well, and why would we want God to be associated with that?

00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:56.000
Ew! Anyway, and then it goes on, right? Like, line by line by line, um… This is also, by the way, where we find Mi Chamocha.

00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:59.000
Wait, but…

00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:08.000
I just want to show people Micha Mocha Bailey Maronai, who is like you among the celestials, who is like you among the gods that are worshipped? Anyway, it goes, it goes verse by verse. Wait, somebody was gonna say something.

00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.000
What were you gonna say? Miriam. Or… yeah? Yeah.

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:19.000
It… Lucy, it seems to me that. You know, God has clearly referred to with different genders.

00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:25.000
In the Torah, and… To me, that speaks to the fact that we are all.

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:30.000
Um, I don't know what the kids call it these days. We are all gender fluid in certain ways.

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:31.000
Yes.

00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:37.000
And so that… I don't… I have no problem with Man of War, because I feel like a man of war sometimes.

00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:38.000
Like, I have that…

00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:43.000
Girl, that's… yes! Yes! Thank you. I was setting up a straw person for you to knock down, and you just went in for it like a pinata.

00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:47.000
Oh, good. I…

00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:57.000
No, that's exactly right, Miriam. I just… what I wanted to do there was… was… is exactly… like, I'm so glad you said that.

00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:06.000
I love that you said sometimes I feel like a man of war. Like, there are times when you need to fight for someone or something, when you become a goddamn warrior.

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:14.000
That's right. Um, absolutely. And so what I was thinking about, I was thinking about a particular, um, a time in rabbinical school.

00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:26.000
When, like, the first time as a student, as a feminist, as somebody who doesn't like war, or violence, or anything like that, you know, so, like, I'm a little bit painting a caricature of.

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:31.000
The person who reads this literally and is mad about it. Ugh, God, why is this in our Torah?

00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:36.000
And somebody who was going through cancer treatment said, I pray this every single morning.

00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:42.000
Praying that God fights the cells, like, fights the cancer cells in my body, like a goddamn warrior, you know?

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:55.000
And, like, that that's what the chemo is doing, right? And then it was interesting, because there was somebody else nearby who said, you know, it's interesting, I've also been through cancer treatment, and I took a much more gentle approach with myself, you know? But, like.

00:15:55.000 --> 00:16:08.000
Okay, right, whatever works. Um, whatever works, and obviously, like. All of this is metaphor. All of this is poetry. Um, and to the extent that we need to harness that energy, like, warrior energy.

00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:12.000
It's here for us, um, and it's here for us, like.

00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:19.000
First thing when we wake up in the morning, even when we're saying Moda'ani. Um, was there one other person who wanted to say something?

00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:25.000
Before we go on. Okay. Alright.

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:28.000
Great. I'm so, I'm so glad we had that little moment there. Okay.

00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:29.000
Um, I wanna…

00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:34.000
Just to follow through, sometimes conflict is good, it just depends how you.

00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:37.000
Conduct yourself, right? Which is what you're saying.

00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:48.000
Thank you, Irene. Always, always wise words. Um, as I'm scrolling right past, um, these blessings leading into the Shema.

00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:57.000
Before we… before we go into the Shema. Um, I… I actually want to just put out a plug for this.

00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:02.000
Shabbat morning. This coming Shabbat morning is the last one, if you're in the city of Chicago.

00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:10.000
Um, that we're doing a learning in the Park. And the learning I'm going to do is going to be about this prayer.

00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:14.000
Um, the theme of learning in the park this month has been.

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:22.000
Going deep into the prayers in the Sidur, rather than looking at outside texts, and rather than bringing in a bunch of outside texts, like, really spending time.

00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.000
Going word by word and trying to understand, like, what's happening here.

00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:33.000
And, as you know, I love this prayer, um, and I often read it word by word by word as we daven it.

00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:40.000
So, um, I'll just put that out as a plug right now, and anyone who's in Chicago, I hope you'll join us on Shabbat morning.

00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:49.000
To study it. Um… Alright. I apologize for the sound of a landline ringing in the background.

00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:58.000
We got a landline, and now it's the most annoying thing. It's like, it's like a pet that barks every couple of hours.

00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:05.000
Um, like, nobody, nobody knows this number. Why, who's calling? Like, what… what… stop harassing me, Comcast.

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:11.000
Okay, um…

00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:23.000
I should have the phone near me so I could just turn it off, but it's on the other side of the room, so I apologize for that sound, and uh… We'll just use it as an object for meditation and letting go.

00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:29.000
Alright, grabbing all the four corners of Artsit Seat.

00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:39.000
Holding them together. Taking a moment to just observe the places where we feel fragmented, where we feel kind of discombobulated, dysregulated.

00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:45.000
Taking a moment to just hold all of those places with a lot of love, a lot of compassion.

00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:53.000
Just to notice. And then if you can, metaphorically, you know, or literally with your hands in all of your.

00:18:53.000 --> 00:19:04.000
Tallied strings. Hold them together. Ahava.

00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:09.000
Blessed are you, the one who loves us. With love.

00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:24.000
Alright, let's say these words together. Shimmer… Yisrael.

00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:30.000
I don't know why…

00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:36.000
Hello, Heno.

00:19:36.000 --> 00:20:06.000
I do not… Eh, uh… and…

00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:31.000
Ovihishara. And you will love with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your might!

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:35.000
Carry these words which I speak to you today on your heart.

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:41.000
Teach them to your kids, speak of them when you're in your home, when you walk along the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:48.000
You will bind them as signs upon your hand when your hands act in the world, they will act influenced by the love that they are carrying.

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:54.000
They shall be symbols between your eyes, you shall see the world through the lens of the love that you are carrying.

00:20:54.000 --> 00:21:00.000
You will write them on the doorposts of your house. And on your gates.

00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:05.000
They will protect you when you come and go from your place of dwelling.

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:16.000
Alright. Um, as we move into a prayer for healing, I want to turn it over to Ann Merle for a moment, who's got a little teaching for us.

00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:22.000
And Merle, you gotta unmute. And Merle. Yes.

00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:28.000
I get so… I get so flustered. Okay, we just… We just mentioned hands.

00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:35.000
And I want… you all to feel your hands.

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:46.000
Just take a moment. We use our hands. For tools, but as we have just seen, our hands are spiritual.

00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:52.000
Tools as well. We grab our seat-seit. We hold our heart.

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.000
So I'd like you to put your hands on your heart.

00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:10.000
And take first just notice your breath. Because our breath is what… is how we were formed by the divine presence. We read about that in Genesis, and we'll read about it again at the high holidays.

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:20.000
We are formed through breath. And our breath is where… Our chesed, our loving-kindness.

00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:31.000
Our self-healing capacities live. And so what I'd like us to do is feel first our self-healing capacities.

00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:36.000
By feeling our breath. Feeling our heart.

00:22:36.000 --> 00:23:00.000
Into our hands. And then, so many people mentioned in the chat about moms recovering, and… So many people in the world need our prayers for healing, so… What if we first began with activating our own self-healing capacity? And here's… and we are such a powerful group.

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:06.000
How, if we do this. Take your hands and put them up to the screen.

00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:12.000
Even if you're… even if your view is turned off, this will still work.

00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:19.000
I can feel something. In my hands. We're communicating with each other.

00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:32.000
And we're sending these healing energies out into the world. We have that ability. All of us who've gathered here in this Minion are such a powerful presence.

00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:42.000
So, yeah, just try that for a moment. And as we continue, as Lizzie leads us through the prayers for healing.

00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:57.000
Let's keep our hands up just during this moment, and then Lizzie will tell us when we can take them down, and… I mean, you, you know, type in whoever you need to, and then bring your hands back up and feel the energy that we're sending to each other.

00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:09.000
To ourselves, and out into the world. Go Lizzie.

00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:15.000
This is so… this is so powerful, because I'm telling you, I… I actually really feel… I feel… I feel a little something.

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:17.000
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:19.000
And I, you know, connection to all of you. Something more, something floating through the universe, all that intention connecting across time and space.

00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:28.000
Mm-hmm.

00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:31.000
The only annoying thing is Zoom thinks that I'm raising my hand to speak.

00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:37.000
Stop thinking I'm raising my hand, I'm not! I'm sending blessings across the universe!

00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:43.000
Alright, so keep your hands up. I'm seeing all of these names here, every single one of them, every single person on.

00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:52.000
All of your lists, Roberta and Meredith and Prudy and Roberta and Jasper and Susanna, and Sherry, and Lori, and Jed.

00:24:52.000 --> 00:25:08.000
And Sarah, Miriam, Glenn, Jessica… Hiya, Carla, Michael, Blair, everybody with all of the various people, Lexi, that you're thinking about this morning. And so, as you put your hands up.

00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:19.000
Um, I wanted to… I wanted to use… the priestly blessing, actually, as our… as our, uh, healing prayer this morning.

00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:26.000
Um, and… Because this wasn't part of my plan necessarily, but now that it is.

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:31.000
I just had to quickly find it wherever I could find it, so forgive me that it's not the most artful.

00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:36.000
Version of the priestly blessing one can find on the internet, but I wanted you to be able to see it.

00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:43.000
In both Hebrew and transliteration. So keep those hands up.

00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:48.000
And… I'm gonna… I'm gonna sing a version of this that I learned in Jerusalem.

00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:59.000
Um, about 20-something years ago. From a musician named Mikhail ben-David.

00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:22.000
I don't I.

00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:26.000
I am alive.

00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:42.000
From your screen, you can join me.

00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:57.000
Yeah, I don't pan out. In the sky.

00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:12.000
Shallow. May the Lord bless you and guard you, and keep you safe.

00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:20.000
May the Lord shine her face unto you. And be gracious to you, may she turn her face up to you.

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:25.000
And grant you peace.

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:30.000
Rafou a shaleman. El Na Rafanala.

00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:40.000
Mishabera. Me the one who blessed our ancestors, bless everyone whose name was mentioned here today.

00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:51.000
Bless everyone who's struggling with recovery and staying sober. Every person in Gaza who is starving.

00:27:51.000 --> 00:28:00.000
And who is afraid… May this war end.

00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:05.000
Meva Hutis and whoever it is that continues to send missiles, stop sending them.

00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:12.000
So that Israelis aren't scared, so that they don't feel that they… need to continue to be in war with their neighbors.

00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:18.000
May the hostages who are held in Gaza, may they come home alive, may they reunite with their families.

00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:24.000
May everyone who is struggling with a chronic illness feel a sense of peace and relief.

00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:30.000
Confidence in their community. May everyone who is healthy have compassion.

00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:36.000
And love, and connection, and offer support, and all of the ways that we can.

00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:45.000
To everyone who is struggling, and in this country. May those leaders acting from a place of fear and greed.

00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:50.000
May they be moved. By whatever tradition moves them to compassion.

00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:56.000
To think about using the abundance of this nation to support everyone.

00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:01.000
Including the most vulnerable.

00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:09.000
Alright, we're gonna sing one last time together.

00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:26.000
The Yishmerecha. Yeah, era donnae Panama.

00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:29.000
In the sun.

00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:43.000
Via shamelessa.

00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:44.000
I mean…

00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:52.000
Amen. Thank you, Lizzie, and everybody, if you haven't already, just bring your hands back to your heart, and bring all that healing energy.

00:29:52.000 --> 00:30:01.000
Into your own body. And then, let's keep this with us for the rest of the day. Thank you all.

00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:07.000
I'm main, I'm main, I'm main. Thank you, Admiral.

00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:16.000
Beautiful. All right. Well, here it is, 8.33, I want to make sure we say Kadish Yatom.

00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:20.000
For everybody who's here this morning. To honor and remember somebody.

00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:30.000
With Kaddish, so, um. That's, yeah, turn to that, and if there's anybody whose name you want to say this morning who you're remembering.

00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:06.000
Or maybe not like to, but feel called to. Okay. Here we go.

00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:14.000
Um, I can lead.

00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:21.000
