Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture, it's the Wallboulders show and we are going to jump right in because we've got a really power-packed program for you.

This is going to be Rabbi Daniel Lappin speaking at the Pro Family Legislators Conference,

the whole presentation in just one show today, but we're pack it in so here we go here's

Rabbi Daniel Lappin at the Pro Family Legislators Conference.

On November the 5th 2009 United States Army 2009.

United States Army Major Nidal Malik Hassan

murdered 13 people on the Fort Hood base.

I think it's important to draw a line forward from that event to October the 7th, 2003 and perhaps just as important to draw a line

back from that event perhaps all the way to October the 7th, that's right, same date in the year

157171 when Christian forces inflicted a final defeat on the Muslim fleet

in the Gulf of LaPanto between Italy and Greece.

Now, Seby else that appears to be completely disconnected and I can't tell you how much I would have

loved to have actually been with you all there in person as I've been many many times in the past

on November during November for this special conference because I was uplifted by being among you all. I was uplifted by your dedication and

uplifted by your willingness to stand tall, walk brave, and sometimes to stand alone.

And each and every one of you that I've met at these conferences

has managed to instill in me a growth of courage and fortitude and vision.

And so being with you today remote, I know you're there, but it's not the same

as mingling among you shaking your hands, looking at you in the eyes and drawing off some of your

determination and courage. So thank you all for what you're doing and thank you for allowing

me to be with you at least in this reduced medium

which is certainly from my point of view better than nothing and I hope yours as well.
