All together now.

00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:05.320
Ready Nishma.

00:00:05.330 --> 00:00:07.320
We will do and we will hear.

00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:12.759
That was what the Jewish people screamed out at Harini all together in unison.

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:23.160
Now it always kind of bothered me, you know when you're playing rock, paper, scissors, or maybe I'm giving away my move, you kind of delay a second to see what the other person's gonna do.

00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:25.079
Rock paper says, or shoot, and you're like, ah.

00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:27.760
And you wait a millisecond, you see their move and then you make your move.

00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:32.079
Was there not maybe a child there or someone that was kind of on edge?

00:00:32.081 --> 00:00:32.880
Should I say this?

00:00:32.881 --> 00:00:33.880
Should I commit to all this?

00:00:33.881 --> 00:00:39.679
And then, you know, kind of[inaudible][inaudible] You know[inaudible] your test.

00:00:41.490 --> 00:00:46.759
It was all people together with total unification and amalgamation, all as one unit.

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:54.560
Rahi tells us ish with one body, one ish, and one heart.

00:00:55.060 --> 00:00:59.240
Now I heard an[inaudible] given by the[inaudible] down in Norfolk, Virginia.

00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:08.000

00:01:08.409 --> 00:01:28.959
He said over from Rev, David Cohen, the great Shiva in Hevron, who said over from Rezko, Isaac Chave, the great elucidate of the Vilna GOs Torah, that there is a de[inaudible]. It is not only [inaudible] we cannot have unity by just becoming one unit, one body.

00:01:59.670 --> 00:02:03.920
Unless you really become one unit.

00:02:04.370 --> 00:02:08.120
We know that a house divided against, against itself cannot stand.

00:02:08.490 --> 00:02:14.319
In order for us to become a unit, we must also merge our goals.

00:02:14.620 --> 00:02:30.919
And as they said at Hasina[inaudible] all together, unification, we will do and we will hear, we are servants of[inaudible] Let us join together as one body with one goal.

00:02:30.969 --> 00:02:31.800
So we have total.
