Good evening, I'm Rabbi Ephrae F.mm Goldberg, joined by my absolute favorite co-host.

It's in Yeh Kovir, and we are here to take you behind the Bima.

Yechavid, welcome back.

Thank you. It's wonderful to be back.

So happy that you're here.

Seven DeVri Tveritore, each parasha, a lesson for every day of the week. You can get it at your local bookstore. You can order online. All the proceeds are going to daily giving, which is incredible. so Mitzvah Guerreras, Mitzvah leads to another Mitzvah. With a lot of gratitude to Dahlia,

check it out, get a hold of it.

It will enhance.

It will enrich your life. I read a story recently. Husband and wife were at the airport. And this of course has nothing to do with us. Just an interesting story to bring up where the wife said, I'm going to get a coffee. said, you'll never be back in time. And she said, I need my coffee. He said, you'll never be back in time.

And she said, I have to go get a coffee. And he said, if you're not back, I'm going. And the Starbucks was in another terminal or another area that she took a big risk because she assumed she could go and come back and she couldn't imagine that she wouldn't make it back in dime. And the husband,

Taka, got on the plane. She wasn't back, took off and left his wife behind. That was the story. That was the article. Any thoughts? Any, any, any, any lessons. Yeah, well, there's more backgrounds, that story, that she had done that before and made them miss a flight. And so it wasn't like this was the first time. And he kind of said, like, I can't keep doing this and missing flights. So this time he put his foot down and got on a plane. I agree. I mean, I think I agree with him. I know you think that I'm going to take the white side because you don't have to be the first person at the airport, and I'm not always so early and on time. But in this case, when she had to go to a Starbucks in a different terminal, that's a little bit, that's a little bit excessive. But some might say. Boarding. No, not smart. Some might say through thickness, through thin, through this, through that. If she misses the flight, you miss the flight.

Maybe you'll never talk to her again. You'll be furious. You'll be angry. You'll be frustrated. But, you know, what kind of husband gets on a plan without his wife? Or was he justified? You know, are there times that it's okay to you take that risk? You're taking that risk. I'm not late or missing. I don't know where they were going, a vacation, a wedding, a business trip.

I don't know.
