And then October 7 happened.

How do you make it not worthwhile the whole Israeli hostages? How do you make it not worthwhile the whole Israeli hostages?

How do you make that cost so massive that it doesn't make sense anymore?

It's very simple. So, I wanted to start this off by asking how the family was because we talked last year around this time a little bit a month off so about 11 months ago is when we spoke last.

I sincerely appreciate you taking the time then

and taking the time now.

and how your sphere of friends and family are doing?

You know, it's been a heck of a year.

It's, we've been trying to have a detached sort of home, the home, you know, the kids, my youngest, it started the year at four she's now five we don't want her to be in the in the sort of

general atmosphere of the country of course you can't you can't hide it from

from them you can't hide anything from them half the dads on my street put on a uniform and went off for you know four months to war so

But we have I think managed to maintain a home that is happy, you know, sort of relaxed.

There's, you know, life is disrupted, but these are also COVID kids, you know, so they came out of COVID and then went into this year

I don't know if they know that their life is disrupted.

In other words, it's just life is kind of just something that's,

you know, very sort of topi-turvy for them.

So we've been doing that.
