| 0:50.8 | Gentlemen, another week, it's hard to believe another week has passed. And here we are together again behind the Bima, so excited to spend the night with you. And we have a fantastic special guest tonight. Very excited, timely. Could comment about Simcha, could comment about the Simchas during Corona, could comment about getting ready for Yom No Rahm and being about Tfila. We have the one and only Simchaliner coming on tonight. Very, very excited. But until then, let's make a lechayem. Who would like to make the lechaym tonight? One second. I guess I will make the lechaym. Brody is trying to get the film. Brody is blast. I'm not even on the thing. He's not been on Facebook. Look at this. I'm Lechheim. I'm going to make Lechheimm, Brobe. Brody's trying to get the film. Brody black. I'm not even on the thing. |

I'm going to make Lechheim good health to happiness, to Lechheim to all the many, many, thousands of volunteers across the United States are helping shoals and schools open and get ready, people who are largely nameless and faceless, but without whom we would all be lost.

Barakata adun, I will an al-a-olam. Amen. |

| 2:17.6 | morning email pointing out to one title on the eight-page full-color hub copy mail. Whoa, whoa, |
| 2:22.7 | what's going on over here? Brody. Brody, turn your phone or sound or feedback off. |

| 2:53.8 | And now. Then there are two. And Brody's back. There he is. So let me try that again. Thank you for ruining our podcast, Rabbi Brody. So this individual tweeted, why yes, I do appreciate the early morning email, pointing out the one typo in the eight page full color hard copy mail to every member of the congregation, high holiday guy. I'm so glad you noticed, which pretty much summarizes the way. |
