| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Rabbi Daniel Appen on demand. |
| 0:08.2 | The more the world changes, the more we find comfort in the things that never change. |
| 0:14.3 | This is Rabbi Daniel Abin on demand on the Blaze Radio Network. |
| 0:19.8 | Welcome everybody to the Rabbi Daniel Appen show, where I, your rabbi, reveal how the |

| 1:49.3 | I'm so happy you're tuned in. |
