0:05.9	The more the world changes, the more we find comfort in the things that never change.
0:11.6	This is Rabbi Daniel Appen on demand, on the Blaze Radio Network.
0:17.2	Welcome to the Rabbi Daniel Appen Show, where I, your rabbi, reveal how the world
0:23.6	really works. Thank you for being part of the show. And thank you for all that you do to tell other people about the show. You're doing a great job. Thanks so much. And here we are talking today about, well, the things that
