Rabbi Brody, just one week ago, we had a marathon, marathon global edition of Behind the Bima four hours, 8 p.m. to midnight.

1:14.5

And the truth is that was only half of what we were going to do. Right. Next year we said, please God, if some mingsh, we'll be built, we'll be in Jerusalem. The next year, eight hours all the way. We want to thank our sponsor tonight, Real Panama Tours, the Real Panama Tours.com. Have you ever been to Panama?

1:29.6

No, but I know if I do go to Panama, I'm calling real tours. I mean, there's no one that doesn't better than real Panama tours. I was privileged. I officiated at a wedding in Panama, so I was only there for one night. I didn't really get to see much of it. But beautiful country. They say it happened on more kosher restaurants in Panama than anywhere else. And if you're going to go see it, my in-laws went this year, they loved it.

2:01.1

If you're going to go see it, my in-laws went this year, they loved it. If you're going to go see Panama called the real Panama Tours.com, the real Panama Tours. You didn't use real Panama Tours, if I remember, right? I went there. Right. You had to take like a very bumpy ride to get to the destination. Yeah, and like the edge of a cliff. It was a... So you got to use real Panama tours and then you're one of those problems. It wasn't an adventure, but it's worth checking out. It's worth checking out Panama. Anyway, last week's Global Edition, we've been getting tremendous feedback on the marathon. We had 6, 7, 8, 10. How many guests did we have? Great conversations.

2:34.9

Each one in their own right, really diverse guests, great conversations. You can find it online. You don't have to listen to all four hours in one shot. Do it incrementally. We got chapters and we list if you want to skip right to what you were up to or someone that you want to hear. There were some great conversations that happened. And I told my mother-in-law about, you know, we got Ellie Beer and Rabbi Seltsin. She's like, well, I'm not finished yet with the marathon. I'm like, well, maybe skip it and come back. I don't know. Yeah, it's interesting. Some of the, not that your mother's older, but older people in technology, they're like, you know, they figure that out. It's not so simple. When you can go back to it, how you go back to it? How do you skip? How do you skip ahead? How do you listen to a new one if you didn't finish the old one? Yeah. Simple. Right. We take for granted. Certainly for our children, I would argue to a large extent for ourselves, technology is second nature. Like it's instinctive, it's intuitive,

we figure it out. extent for ourselves, technology is second nature. Like it's instinctive,

2:52.3

it's intuitive, we figure it out. But for people for whom it's not as natural, it's a real barrier.

2:58.1
