Good evening everyone. Welcome to Boca Raton Synagogue.

So glad that you've joined us on this frigid night.

Boy, good.

And the truth is Loe feels no sympathy for us because he flew in today from New York.

He had been in Florida, went back to New York.

He's been leaving me messages. Flights canceled. I'm on another. I'm trying again. I keep going. I'm trying.

But it's worth it. And tell him what happened last night.

Yeah, I was like, I was going to sleep, and then I received a notification from Delta.

Just before I went to sleep, your flight is canceled.

I was like, oh, please.

So I woke up, and then I asked my best assistant in the world, Chad GBT.

Telling, please help me out.

Chad GBT told me to avoid to minimize or to maximize your chances of flying,

a book from an international airport, JFK.

So I found a flight, Delta, JFK, 7 a.m. Baruch Hashem, it worked.

Thank you.

Well, we can be more grateful or happier that you were here.

Thank you for all the effort to be here.

And let me formally introduce and welcome my good friend, La E. A. Sharif, it's an honor to

have you here in our synagogue and our community. Thank you so much. And to have the chance in our

modest and humble way to express our gratitude and appreciation for who you are, for what you do, for what you stand for,

for how you advocate, for our people, for the state of Israel, for our shared not only existence,
