0:00.0	Since I was a kid, I kind of realized that we did a lot of things different from people around us.
0:05.0	And to name a few, first of all, the first thing when we got up was going straight to the sink and wash our hands.
0:12.0	That's not a very common practice when I see how my mom worked in the kitchen,
0:17.0	and she had a very special way of salt and meat.

1:24.6	why wheels to lease is the place to go for your next car, how PZ deals is
1:28.4	becoming the number one Jewish app, and how Bipin just leveled up their business and likely
