Welcome back to Behind the Bima, Rabbi Firm Gur, joined by my dear friends and colleagues. Rabbi Philip

Moskowitz, Rabbi Joshua Brody. Gentlemen, rabbis, how are you? Elul. Elul. That's the answer.

Here, that's the answer. Wow. That's a new greeting. How are you? Ell. That's it just

kind of sums it up. That's such an interesting answer, because when I say, how are you el el that's it just that kind of sums it up that's such an interesting answer

because when i say how are you and your answer is ellel it's elol and therefore love in the air

ell therefore fear in the air ell change in the air el o like i got to pay for school and pay for the

membership and pay for seats in the air.

So even when you say what's going on, your answer is ELL, what does that mean?

What does that?

If you would have asked me yesterday, it would have been a little bit better.

You know, sometimes you're on a high and sometimes you slip and you're just, okay, pick up the pieces and you move forward. Rats of a show. It'sats of the great day. I had that this morning. I saw a guy coming to Shull, who I think it's the first time I've ever seen him come into Shull for a daily minion. And he was like a celebrity because everyone was so shocked to see him there. And the only thing he kept on saying, it's Ell. I said, like, what are you doing here?

He's like, it's Elel. Got out my game. So, you know, I gave him a big pat on the back. I was proud of him. I thought it was a great way to mark the occasion. That's nice. What does it mean for you, Elo? What are the feelings? You hear that word. Is it on the calendar? I mean, as rabbis, what's interesting is that in addition to what everyone else processes,

we're also thinking like seating, jerushas, Shabashuva, chazana meetings.
