Tully, Professor Joel, friends, Rabbi Kenneth Brander, friends,

it's an incredible privilege to join you with you this morning.

Being a British Chief Rabbi, you get some unusual requests.

And one of the most unusual requests I got some years ago

was, please, would I write some divray Torah

for the President of the United States, Bill Clinton.

Rabbi Manochem Genak of the O OU had written him a Dvah,

and he liked it, and he said,

could you get me some more?

And Rabbi Ginnak asked some rabbis around the world

whether we would write speeches for President Clinton.

You remember President Clinton.

Yes, guys?

William Jefferson has a wife somewhere.

Now, do you know

how good a speaker, Bill Clinton was?

He was very good indeed.

So what do you write

for a president

that will interest in?

What a president's interested in?

Leadership, right?
