So you live half the time right here in Israel and half the time in Florida.

So I don't know that there's ever been a guest that I'm supposed to sit down with in Jerusalem

in this exact spot more than you, but I want to actually start somewhere else for just

a minute or so because you also grew up in Long Island, like basically 10 minutes from

where I grew up from.

And I thought for people that don't know your bio, could you give just sort of a one-minute

bio that'll then get us to everything else that you've done?

Sure.

So I'm for Rabbi.

I thought about becoming a rabbi.

My father had a thousand-member congregation who's a great rabbi.

When I told my son's thinking of becoming a rabbi, he cried.

He begged me not to do it.

I was going to say, here's a joy or...

No, not here's a joy.

Why would you want to do that?

It's a tough gig.

I'm going to talk to a lawyer, break somebody and don't have a thousand voices telling

you what to do.

Even though he loved his job, sent me off to Columbia University, became a lawyer, lived

basically in the area where I grew up for most of my life until I became the US ambassador

to Israel and moved here in 2017.
