But before that, gentlemen, how is your week? How are you both doing?

Rabbi Mosca's big week for you.

Big Simcha, Barak Hashem, making a Bas mitzvah for my daughter, Shana, this coming weekend.

And as we know from COVID, every Simcha was always spectacular.

But now post-COVID, you appreciate every opportunity to be together with family and to celebrate a simcha.

And so despite the fact that it is going to be thunderous rains all weekend here in Florida,

we are enormously grateful to the revolution.

That's right.

We've already made plans to stay across the street of my mom so we can come to this Bahamitza.
