• 00:02 Today on Zola Levitt Presents
• 00:03 How technology can be used
• 00:05 for evil or good.
• 00:06 Stay tuned.
• 00:31 ISAIAH 61:3 "I will console those who mourn in Zion,"
• 00:35 ISAIAH 61:3 "to give them beauty for ashes,"
• 00:38 ISAIAH 61:3 "the oil of joy for mourning,"

• 00:59 Shalom, Havarim
• 01:00 Welcome Friends to our program.
• 01:02 I'm Myles Weiss.
• 01:03 And I'm Katharine Weiss
• 01:04 and we want to welcome you
• 01:06 to our series, Beauty for Ashes.
• 01:08 We've been doing this series
• 01:09 taking you from the Holocaust,
• 01:11 the horrors of the Holocaust
• 01:13 to the hope, which is the modern State of Israel,
• 01:16 to the beauty that God has made.
• 01:18 Yeah, you know its' funny that
• 01:19 in the headlines today we hear that
• 01:21 Israel is the problem in the Middle East.
• 01:22 Really, if you look at it objectively,
• 01:24 Israel is the answer
• 01:26 it is the hope
• 01:27 to the Middle East.
• 01:28 Its democratic, its technologically advanced.
• 01:30 They produce medical breakthroughs.
• 01:32 There's just all this wonder that
• 01:33 comes from this little country
• 01:35 and is a blessing to the surrounding nations.
• 01:37 Plus they let women drive.
• 01:39 [Myles laughs]
• 01:40 That's true.
• 01:41 And in fact that's one of the answers
• 01:43 is that having equality in that democratic society
• 01:46 produces all these good things,
• 01:48 all these breakthroughs.
• 01:49 And we are about to see in this program
• 01:51 the horror of how technology can be used
• 01:53 by the most civilized society of it's day.
• 01:56 Germany, for incredible evil,
• 01:59 factory killing of human beings,
• 02:02 and conversely how technology can be used
• 02:06 to make everyone's life better,
• 02:08 which is what we see in Israel today.
• 02:09 Right.
• 02:10 So let's go now and hear from Myles.
• 02:19 In 1940, Auschwitz started as a place
• 02:21 for Polish political prisoners.
• 02:23 The area became known as Auschwitz one,
• 02:26 the camp to incarcerate or concentrate prisoners.
• 02:29 To the West, Auschwitz two (or Birkenau) was
• 02:33 specifically designed to be a killing camp or
• 02:35 extermination center.
• 02:38 To the East, Auschwitz three (Monowitz) was a
• 02:41 forced-labor camp and there were dozens of
• 02:44 smaller "sub camps" nearby.
• 02:46 Here in Birkenau, we see the remains of crematorium
• 02:50 number two and number three which were destroyed.
• 02:54 In January 1945 the retreating Nazis destroyed them.
• 02:58 From 1943 through November 1944, these
• 03:02 crematoria were designed to burn at least 1400
• 03:06 perhaps even 2000 corpses per day...
• 03:10 each.
• 03:13 For the sake of efficiency, the Nazis used
• 03:15 deception to keep their victims calm during this process.
• 03:19 The trains stopped at the platform
• 03:21 where the selection process occurred.
• 03:24 Those who were "not fit to work", the vast majority,
• 03:28 were led into the two huge buildings
• 03:31 adjacent to the platform.
• 03:33 Signs about registration and accommodations were posted in many languages,
• 03:38 so the people calmly took their clothes off in the changing room
• 03:41 before moving on to the next room
• 03:43 where they believed they were going to get a shower.
• 03:54 An ambulance drove up and delivered a container that
• 03:57 was actually hydrogen cyanide gas used to
• 04:00 murder everyone in the shower room.
• 04:03 A half an hour after the screaming stopped,
• 04:06 Jewish prisoners were forced to
• 04:09 transfer the corpses upstairs to the furnaces
• 04:11 for cremation.
• 04:15 The ashes from the crematoria were used for fertilizer.
• 04:20 When the Nazis had no more ground
• 04:22 they dumped them into nearby ponds.
• 04:25 Two survivors of this process were
• 04:28 ten year old Eva Mozes
• 04:30 and her twin sister Miriam,
• 04:32 who arrived in Birkenau in March 1944.
• 04:35 Because they were twins, they were used for
• 04:38 medical experimentation.
• 04:42 Miriam and I decided
• 04:44 we might as well go to the latrine.
• 04:46 [Anytime] I tried something new
• 04:50 it got worse than before.
• 04:52 And there on the filthy barrack floor
• 04:56 there's the corpses of 3 children.
• 04:59 I had never seen anybody dead before.
• 05:02 But that was clear to me that in this place
• 05:06 children were dying.
• 05:08 So this is when I made my first silent pledge
• 05:11 that I will do anything and everything within my power
• 05:15 to make sure that Miriam and I
• 05:18 shall not end up on that filthy latrine floor.
• 05:22 And from the moment I left the latrine
• 05:25 I never let any doubt or fear enter my mind.
• 05:29 I had almost like an image
• 05:32 and I have no idea how that developed,
• 05:36 how Miriam and I might look the day
• 05:38 we walked out of this camp alive.
• 05:41 And that was the image of survival,
• 05:44 2 little girls holding hands
• 05:47 walking out of this camp alive.
• 05:51 It was always the way they filmed it
• 05:54 but the filming - I had nothing to do with it.
• 05:58 Summer came and went,
• 06:00 winter came
• 06:02 and we did not get any new clothes.
• 06:05 There was no winter clothes.
• 06:08 My shoes were filled with holes
• 06:10 and so was my dress.
• 06:13 I have no idea and I tried to understand it
• 06:17 how did we survive on those cold winter days?
• 06:22 But that's the way it was.
• 06:25 After roll call we would go back to the barracks
• 06:29 for Dr. Mengele's daily inspection.
• 06:32 He would come in every morning
• 06:35 with an entourage of 8 people
• 06:38 and he would count us.
• 06:40 He wanted to know how many guinea pigs he had today.
• 06:43 The way Mengele detested us,
• 06:49 we were not human beings.
• 06:54 We were some object or subject or purpose to his experiments
• 07:01 but he never ever looked at us as human beings.
• 07:05 And you could sense his detest
• 07:09 and the way he was acting towards us,
• 07:11 never looking us in the eyes,
• 07:14 always [looking] away.
• 07:17 Cause somehow [if] he looked into my eyes
• 07:19 that was honoring me.
• 07:22 The way he behaved he looked evil.
• 07:27 But at first glance
• 07:30 Mengele looked very kind and very angelic.
• 07:34 [Accept] when he started yelling.
• 07:37 And he yelled a lot at the supervisors.
• 07:42 So what I sensed in him
• 07:48 was that with his experiments
• 07:51 he was hoping to create
• 07:56 something unique.
• 07:58 But he was not interested in the people who
• 08:01 were going to create that unique thing.
• 08:04 He was only interested in that experiment itself as
• 08:08 that related to what he was trying to accomplish.
• 08:12 So if you had guinea pigs or rabbits or rats
• 08:19 that will be the same thing for him.
• 08:21 He had no feelings that these were human beings.
• 08:26 This is the number that they engraved into me,
• 08:32 dot by dot burned into my flesh and skin.
• 08:37 It means that they wanted to reduce me to just that number,
• 08:43 but they could never do that.
• 08:51 Six months in Auschwitz.
• 08:53 Almost nobody could make six months in Auschwitz
• 08:57 Myles - In January 1943, Noah Kleiger arrived at
• 09:01 Auschwitz three, the forced-labor camp.
• 09:05 Nobody had the slightest idea where we were.
• 09:09 We stood there.
• 09:10 The women were separated from the men immediately.
• 09:14 Then 3 German SS officers
• 09:19 approached our group.
• 09:22 We were about 900 men and 700 women.
• 09:26 They approached the 900 men.
• 09:28 The women had disappeared somewhere.
• 09:30 He said, you're going to a camp that is 12 kilometers from here
• 09:35 and we don't have enough trucks to take all of you.
• 09:40 So only the ones, we don't feel so well or a little sick,
• 09:46 or too old who cannot undertake 12 kilometers to march,
• 09:51 they went on the trucks, the others will march.
• 09:55 They were going straight into the gas chamber.
• 09:58 WOW
• 10:00 Almost nobody could make 6 months in Auschwitz because
• 10:03 he was not meant to make 6 months in Auschwitz.
• 10:06 He was meant to work...
• 10:08 or die
• 10:10 ...until more or less he was already dead.
• 10:13 And there was transports [that] arrived every day.
• 10:16 So they didn't need you any more.
• 10:19 So they selected the ones who looked like skeletons.
• 10:24 And most of us looked like skeletons.
• 10:27 They were sent to the gas chamber.
• 10:30 And there were transports
• 10:32 with new people with new forces.
• 10:34 They needed workers.
• 10:36 They didn't need skeletons.
• 10:38 So one day in Auschwitz was
• 10:41 already too much for a normal person.
• 10:44 What kept you going?
• 10:47 First, people want to live,
• 10:51 everyone wants to live,
• 10:54 but not everyone makes it of course.
• 10:58 And the second thing was
• 11:00 if you made it for a certain time in the camp
• 11:04 you already got some acquaintances.
• 11:07 So a little help - a little kindness.
• 11:09 Sure - but you had to be a few months there
• 11:12 before you knew people.
• 11:16 You survived Auschwitz
• 11:19 only thanks to miracles.
• 11:22 If you had no miracles you did not survive Auschwitz.
• 11:25 No one survives Auschwitz without miracles.
• 11:29 And for me, if there is a God
• 11:33 Then God was - how should I say?
• 11:35 He took care of me
• 11:37 because he sent one miracle after the other.
• 11:42 Otherwise I would not have made it.
• 11:50 Noah was such an inspiration to me.
• 11:52 He was a man that said,
• 11:54 "If there was a God or if there was miracles"
• 11:57 Well we're here to tell you that there is a God.
• 11:59 And He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
• 12:02 There's also a devil that
• 12:04 seeks to wipe out the people of God
• 12:06 or to divide the people of God.
• 12:08 So we have to discern what we are fighting.
• 12:11 Really, and we see that division
• 12:13 is trying to come between the people of The Book.
• 12:15 The enemy has always tried to wipe out the Jewish people
• 12:17 and now also Christians for the last 2,000 years.
• 12:20 Currently, especially there is an attempt
• 12:23 to wipe out Christians
• 12:24 because they are grafted-in to the
• 12:26 Commonwealth of Israel.
• 12:28 We stand with the people of Israel.
• 12:30 There's no perfect Country.
• 12:32 Israel - you may not agree with them
• 12:33 politically on everything.
• 12:35 We don't agree with America politically on everything.
• 12:37 However, we have determined because of the Scripture
• 12:40 to stand with Israel
• 12:41 and to stand with the future
• 12:43 that God has for the Jewish people and
• 12:45 for those grafted-in to the Commonwealth of Israel.
• 12:48 Well - when we return we take you to Israel
• 12:51 so you can see this modern miracle for yourself.
• 12:55 Our resource this week,
• 12:57 The Messianic Roots Lapel Pin.

• 14:21 Myles and I would love
• 14:23 you to join us on one of our tours.
• 14:24 You know, it is not just a journey.
• 14:26 It is a spiritual acceleration
• 14:29 You literally experience the Word
• 14:32 like you never experienced before.
• 14:33 It comes alive.
• 14:35 It does.
• 14:35 You're going to see ancient sites but your
• 14:38 also going to experience the
• 14:38 modern miracle of Israel.
• 14:40 Well - let's go to Rosh Pina
• 14:41 It's a town on the upper Galilee
• 14:43 that was founded under the patronage of Baron Rothschild,
• 14:46 one of the first agricultural settlements
• 14:48 that's also today an art colony.
• 14:50 Let's go there now.
• 15:00 We're here in Rosh Pina
• 15:02 in the beautiful Galilee area.
• 15:03 Rosh Pina means
• 15:05 "Cornerstone"
• 15:06 And it comes from
• 15:07 Psalm 118:22
• 15:11 It's a Messianic Prophesy speaking about the
• 15:13 establishing of the State of Israel
• 15:15 and the looking for the coming of Messiah.
• 15:17 It's poignant that it would
• 15:19 be the first place that
• 15:21 there was a Hebrew school.
• 15:22 There's so many firsts
• 15:23 that happened at Rosa Pina.
• 15:25 Myles, this is where they also
• 15:27 fought and understand
• 15:29 how they fight malaria.
• 15:31 Yes, Professor Meir
• 15:32 had a Botany Center here.
• 15:34 He was working on Malaria.
• 15:35 It was one of the places that
• 15:37 was instrumental in the wiping out of malaria which
• 15:39 as you may know was a threat to
• 15:41 the re-establishing of the State of Israel.
• 15:43 They couldn't have done it without help.
• 15:45 It was Baron Rothschild who helped them.
• 15:47 He invested at lot of funds into this area.
• 15:50 And Rosh Pina has become a beautiful
• 15:52 place of art galleries.
• 15:54 Artists live here.
• 15:55 It's a wonderful example of the
• 15:58 re-establishing of God's grace to the Jewish people.
• 16:02 Not only the saving of the people and
• 16:04 planting them in the Land
• 16:06 but now restoring also that which was tried
• 16:09 to be taken by the enemy of their souls
• 16:11 by restoring the arts as well.
• 16:13 Well, the arts were restored,
• 16:15 the language restored,
• 16:16 that the people themselves have been restored.
• 16:19 It's been said that the Jewish people through
• 16:21 the Grace of God are the Light of God
• 16:23 because God caused them to be a Light to the nations and
• 16:25 have taken curses and made them into blessings.
• 16:28 Even the malaria was like a curse on the Land and
• 16:32 the Arabs thought that they couldn't
• 16:34 do anything with the Land.
• 16:36 So it was there that they allowed the Land to be sold.
• 16:38 And it was through the ingenuity of the Jewish mind
• 16:41 and I believe the Light of God coming upon them
• 16:44 to show them how to rehabilitate the Land.
• 16:48 They restored the Land,
• 16:49 they revived the Land.
• 16:51 And we remember in Ezekiel that
• 16:53 God prophesies over the Land of Israel.
• 16:56 And you see that once the Jews come back
• 16:59 and they marry the Land,
• 17:01 the Land begins to bear fruit.
• 17:04 This is where in 1906, the botanist
• 17:07 Aaron Aaronson found the wild Emmer.
• 17:11 That is the mother of all wheat.
• 17:13 This is known as the breadbasket of the world.
• 17:15 And it was here that the fore bearer, the ancestor
• 17:19 of all the current wheat in the world was found.
• 17:22 And it was right here at Rosh Pina where
• 17:24 Aaron Aaronson did his work.
• 17:25 In 1906 the mother of all wheat was found.
• 17:28 And it's here that there's so many beginnings,
• 17:30 so many pillars,
• 17:31 so many first things happened here.
• 17:34 Rosh Pina, the head of the corner,
• 17:36 the cornerstone and a place of
• 17:38 beginnings for the new State of Israel.
• 17:48 We are here overlooking Rosh Pina.
• 17:50 It is the head of the corner, the cornerstone
• 17:53 and one of the earliest settlements in all Israel.
• 17:56 It's a beautiful community.
• 17:58 But we remember the history of this land.
• 18:00 It had its history Myles.
• 18:02 I mean it was uprooted.
• 18:04 The Jewish people were uprooted.
• 18:06 But we're telling the story of the
• 18:07 re gathering of the people of the Land.
• 18:09 They paid 10 times the amount of the Land.
• 18:12 I don't think people understand that.
• 18:13 You need to know that when this Land was
• 18:16 restored to the Jewish people
• 18:17 it wasn't just given by >>the international community.
• 18:20 The Jewish people paid 10 times the value of the Land at that time.
• 18:24 But what we're seeing in the story of the Rosh Pina
• 18:26 and the story of the restoration in general
• 18:29 is that the headlines today
• 18:31 are catching up to the Bible.
• 18:33 In fact, for over 100 yrs we've been seeing that,
• 18:35 going back to the time of Theodore Herzl
• 18:37 who had this vision for a Jewish state.
• 18:40 He said, when he saw the trial of Alfred Dreyfus,
• 18:43 a French soldier who was being tried unfairly
• 18:47 and being accused of treason,
• 18:49 Herzl said, we are no longer safe in Europe.
• 18:51 Right, anti-Semitism was on the rise and
• 18:53 it wasn't a safe place for the Jewish people.
• 18:56 And so they knew that they needed to come home.
• 18:58 They knew that God was calling them home.
• 19:00 With Theodore Herzl, he was trying to get to the heads of State.
• 19:04 And he couldn't get there on his own.
• 19:06 What happened was that God put him together with a
• 19:09 Christian Pastor named Hechler and
• 19:11 the two of them together were able to get an
• 19:13 audience with the heads of State in Europe order
• 19:17 to see that beginning of what would become
• 19:21 the Balfour Declaration,
• 19:22 the San Remo injunction,
• 19:24 all these ways of beginning to move forward the idea
• 19:27 the Jews need to come home.
• 19:30 Because we have said for centuries,
• 19:34 [Speaking Hebrew]
• 19:43 And we saw this worldwide movement.
• 19:46 The "Jewish National Fund" began and
• 19:47 there were millions of small donations.
• 19:50 Children from all around the world
• 19:52 and small groups from everywhere
• 19:54 gathering these blue cans,
• 19:56 "blue boxes" they were called,
• 19:58 with change in them
• 19:59 in order to begin to purchase the Land back.
• 20:02 It was something that we....
• 20:03 It's hard to believe today,
• 20:05 but in 1919 King Faisal,
• 20:07 one of the leaders of the Arab world
• 20:09 actually said, "we look upon the restoration of"
• 20:13 "the Jewish people to this land with deep sympathy"
• 20:16 "and we look that way on the Zionist movement."
• 20:18 "We welcome the Jews home."
• 20:20 It is hard to believe today.
• 20:22 He also said, we look forward
• 20:24 for them helping us and us helping them.
• 20:26 Of course, that was short-lived
• 20:28 because of the pressure
• 20:30 the Arab tribalism puts on the kings.
• 20:34 And we see that, even with the King of Jordan.
• 20:36 But God is faithful to see and to watch over His people,
• 20:41 even in the face of a demonic or a dark spirit coming against them.
• 20:46 He planted them in this land it says in Amos,
• 20:50 and He will never again uproot them.
• 20:52 We are looking forward, not only to the natural restoration of the land,
• 20:56 the beauty of the Land being restored,
• 20:58 the incredible innovation that has
• 21:01 led to Israel becoming a start up nation,
• 21:04 but we are also looking forward spiritually to
• 21:07 the pure water of the Spirit being shed
• 21:10 on the people of this Land.
• 21:12 And we look forward together,
• 21:14 Jews and Christians, looking forward to the coming of the Messiah.
• 21:17 And the day is getting close.
• 21:24 Katharine - Modern Israel has become a leader
• 21:27 in computer and cyber technology.
• 21:29 Besides Tel Aviv, it is surprising to know
• 21:32 that much of this innovation is now focused
• 21:35 in the Negev desert in southern Israel.
• 21:41 So for many years, Beersheva was known
• 21:44 for its low tech industry.
• 21:46 What we are really doing here
• 21:48 is changing reality,
• 21:50 and bringing in multinational
• 21:51 technology companies from
• 21:53 all around the world
• 21:55 here to Beersheva.
• 21:56 It wasn't easy but we are now doing very well
• 21:59 and we have many leading companies such as: EMC,
• 22:02 Oracle, Deutsch Telecom, Lockheed Martin,
• 22:05 IBM are coming in now,
• 22:07 WIX, JVP Cyber labs and many more
• 22:10 And the connection with the IDF,
• 22:13 explain that because I think in the West,
• 22:15 we don't understand how important it is
• 22:18 to marshal the strength of young soldiers when
• 22:21 they come out of the army.
• 22:23 They know things.
• 22:24 Somehow, Israel has that down, understands that.
• 22:27 So in Israel it is mandatory to do a
• 22:30 national service, as you know.
• 22:33 And some go to the combat units,
• 22:35 but some go to the technology units inside the IDF.
• 22:39 You find yourself at the age of 18 with
• 22:42 real responsibility defending the ones you love.
• 22:45 You know, it takes you to places and it grows
• 22:50 a knowledge base here in Israel in technology related fields,
• 22:55 especially in cyber domain and others.
• 22:58 And, I think this is one of the key engines,
• 23:02 main engines of the Israeli technology scene,
• 23:05 here in Beersheva.
• 23:08 And the IDF is relocating its technology units here adjacent to the park.
• 23:12 And about 5,000 technology experts are going to be right here
• 23:15 next to the technology campus, exchanging ideas
• 23:20 between the companies and the different units.
• 23:23 And we heard this morning that our Israeli producer
• 23:26 took a train from Tel Aviv to here in 50 minutes and
• 23:29 I think that's the beginning of a new -
• 23:31 there's going to be increase in that too.
• 23:32 That's right.
• 23:34 So the train is developing all the time and
• 23:36 today there are 2 trains every hour
• 23:39 and there are going to be 4 trains every hour as we go.
• 23:43 There's a new bridge connecting from the
• 23:45 train station right here to this building.
• 23:48 It was developed a month and a half ago with huge investments
• 23:51 which is going to have
• 23:53 hundreds of people crossing daily.
• 23:55 And this is where we're aiming.
• 23:57 This project will eventually have
• 23:59 about 10,000 employees here in the park,
• 24:01 15 to 20 buildings.
• 24:03 Today we have 1500 employees
• 24:05 so we have a long way to go
• 24:07 but it's a good beginning.
• 24:08 So like everything in Israel it begins with a vision.
• 24:10 That's right.
• 24:11 And it's coming to reality.
• 24:13 That's right.
• 24:14 So I can say that not many believed
• 24:17 that vision when we started
• 24:18 but I think as we go people are seeing
• 24:21 that this is a real thing coming through
• 24:23 and joining us and helping us
• 24:26 to further push this vision into reality.
• 24:28 WOW
• 24:29 I would say that all of us feel
• 24:31 a very special feeling about what we do here.
• 24:34 And it's not just living our lives
• 24:36 but doing something for all the generations
• 24:39 and realizing their dreams.
• 24:42 It's positive, the vision for the future and
• 24:46 giving these gifts to our children and grandchildren.
• 24:49 It's just the heartbeat of this Country.
• 24:52 That's right, we are very positive people
• 24:54 and we aim to develop and further explore
• 24:59 in to ways that we can build this Country.
• 25:02 And this park is one of the ways that we do that.
• 25:05 It's a beautiful example.
• 25:07 Thank you very much.
• 25:08 Thank you for coming.
• 25:17 WOW, the process of restoration and innovation
• 25:21 is happening at the same time in Israel.
• 25:24 You know, Noah said that when they came back to the Land
• 25:27 it was minus.
• 25:28 I mean, and look at how far God has brought them.
• 25:32 It wasn't even like - it was minus.
• 25:34 They were infested with malaria and
• 25:36 they had so much to fight against.
• 25:38 And yet, God's hand was on them coming home,
• 25:41 it was on His people,
• 25:42 He breathed breath into them,
• 25:44 the whole prophesy of Ezekiel is
• 25:46 coming to pass before our eyes,
• 25:49 and we're seeing the desert bloom!
• 25:52 Not just with flowers but with technology!
• 25:54 Exactly.
• 25:55 I was just looking at
• 25:56 Isaiah 35
• 25:57 how the desert will bloom
• 25:59 and it's not just figs and olives.
• 26:00 But this brain trust is now in the Negev.
• 26:03 And hearing from Mr. Swebner, he ended by saying,
• 26:05 that we're a positive people.
• 26:08 In the face of all the adversity,
• 26:10 being surrounded by nations that want to wipe you out,
• 26:12 there are positive people.
• 26:14 You know, Israel is No. 1 in the world per capita
• 26:17 in research and design.
• 26:19 Who's No. 2? The United States.
• 26:21 So, we have something to learn from Israel.
• 26:24 One of the connections we need to learn is
• 26:25 the power the military veterans that we have,
• 26:28 the strength that they bring to the private sector.
• 26:31 When they come back from their service
• 26:33 sometimes they're confronted with,
• 26:36 well, have you ever had a real job?
• 26:37 Well, they've just been in charge of
• 26:38 millions of dollars in technical equipment
• 26:40 and maybe moving people and personnel and material everywhere.
• 26:43 The Israeli's understand this
• 26:45 and they are marshaling the power of the veterans
• 26:48 in order to take them into the private sector
• 26:50 that's part of the innovation that we see.
• 26:53 You know, it's been said that Israel is not just a nation,
• 26:56 it's a state of mind.
• 26:58 And I think that this positive Light to the world
• 27:00 is always what God has intended.
• 27:03 And remember Hatikva - Hope,
• 27:06 That God is the God of all hope.
• 27:09 And in the face of all evil, or the evil one
• 27:13 we can stand in hope.
• 27:14 Yes, and we always like to end our program
• 27:17 by reminding you,
• 27:18 Sha'a'lu' Shalom Yerushalayim
