I was afraid to go out in the street because  there would be people who would hit me.  My major job is to raise these children  into human beings. That's a job. That's a major job in itself! Secular Jews... they don't understand. They think   we don't like them. They have  their own version of Judaism.  The internet is here to stay. We have  to work with it. It's the opposite of   insularity. It opens up the whole world  to us in ways that we really don't want.  Oh, people feel sorry for us! "We're stuck  in the Dark Ages". If they would only know.  I want to know? How good it is! Hello and welcome. My name is Freda Vizel   and I host a YouTube channel where I explore  Hasidic Jewish life. Some of my most popular   videos have been a series of videos with Pearl,  A Satmar Hasidic woman who took us into her home,   who shared with us many of the Customs, who shared  about her son who left the fold, and so much more.  I posted on my YouTube channel a  request for you to ask your questions,   and I'll be asking some of them to Pearl today. Thank you so much for agreeing to do this again. You're so welcome.  What do you think of all the questions we got? Uh, very, very fascinating. Very, very fascinating  questions. And let's see if we can answer them.  We got a lot. We're not gonna  be able to answer all of them.  Okay. So I did want to say that a lot of   the questions got answers on YouTube. Right.  So maybe people can check out the thread  - the original thread - there is a lot of   really interesting conversation. Yeah, you did tell me. Yes, yes. Okay but then we're gonna get to a number of  questions which we've organized in categories. So the very first category is  going to be on the subject of   women and motherhood in Satmar Hasidism. So the first question that someone asked is: "Are women looked down in Judaism? Are   they considered less than men?" It's such an interesting question.  Let me ask you Frieda: What's  the holiest place in Judaism?  The synagogue? No.  The home? The home. The Jewish Home.   The holiest place in Judaism is the Jewish Home.  And who's at the center of the Jewish Home?  The mother. The mother. The mother because her role...   every morning we say in our morning prayers "Al titash Torahs imachu", do not forget the Torah   of your mother. So the mother is the one who is  imparting the words of the Torah to her children.  And she has such an important role  in raising God-fearing, moral...   in turning this child into a human  being that is a completed human being,   a human being that has higher values that has...  and she's doing this first by modeling this...  by modeling in the home By modeling this behavior   and together with her husband - obviously - but  she's the center of the home. So really, there's   no way the word 'looked down upon'... it doesn't  even exist in our imagination! In our lexicon! And   then, which society has a husband coming home from  synagogue every Friday night - the husband and the   men folk... the boys, the children... I mean the  children that come home from shul [synagogue] and   sings an Ode to this woman "Eyshis Chayil" which means woman a "woman of valor." But   the whole song is about this woman. So which  society sings an Ode to a woman every single week?  Which society has as part  of the marriage contract,   which we have the kesiba -- the kesiba is the  Jewish marriage contract that outlines the   rights and responsibilities of the groom  in relation to the bride. To emphasize   how important this document is in Jewish  tradition -- it is read aloud at the wedding   ceremony in front of all the guests. Which is the marriage contract...  It is the marriage country. And it has to be  signed by two witnesses who are not related to   either the bride of the groom. And the marriage  contract lists only the obligations of the   husband to the wife. What he has to do, what  he has to give her, including conjugal rights.   Which society has that? So you call this  a woman that's looked down upon?! I think   this is a woman that's put on a pedestal! You  can't be put on a higher pedestal than this. Okay, let me ask you a related  question we got on the same subject:  Since you are a very learned  woman, someone asked...  I'm not such a learned woman. I'm a housewife  For Heaven's Sake, I am not a learned woman! Okay, since you have so much  insight, let's put it this way...  Someone is asking what your perspective  is on women in leadership positions,   for instance, officiating ceremonies? Let me answer like this: what does the Torah say   about it? It's not what I think about it. It has  nothing to do with what I think. Toirah or Torah   here is using the broad sense that Orthodox Jews  use the term to include both the Written and Oral   law. the Written Law is the entire Hebrew Bible  and the Oral Law is the Corpus of laws passed   down orally. Oral Law is considered part of God's  revelation to Moses at Mount Sinai. Additionally,   rabbinic commentaries of and on the interpretation  of both oral and written law are also considered   part of sacred oral tradition, so they are also  part of the Torah. And so, the word Torah in the   way that Pearl uses it refers to the entire  body of Jewish laws and customs. It refers   to all the books in the bookcase behind her,  not just to the contents of the Torah Scrolls. I like to say I think what the Torah wants me  to think. What does the Torah say about it? The   Torah has roles for women and roles for men. The  roles for men are the ones who do the ceremonial   things. We do the other things. We do other  things, but not, and like I said last time,   we don't envy each other's roles. We're  happy with the roles that we have.  There are though instances where women take  on leadership positions, right... there are--  Like what, like being a  principal in the girls' school?  Yeah. So does that make you feel like there is  more, maybe, qualities... is that something of a   source of pride for you... that women can in  their sphere take on leadership positions?  If the Torah says it's okay, I'm  fine. I mean, no argument, that....   What's the argument? Be a leadership. Wherever we're allowed to be in leadership,   wherever we can have leadership  positions... perfectly okay.  But we don't want the leadership positions  that men have. And they don't want what   we have. We stay in our own camps. What do you think when the New York   Times will tell a story of a woman from The  Hasidic Community who achieved leadership   positions as a celebration of this community? For  instance, I remember a story of a woman who has   a lot of children -- maybe eight children  maybe 12 children -- and she's a doctor.  Yeah, well, it's doable. But for some people.  But for the general majority of people,   it's not something that's doable. And if she finds  satisfaction in that field and she can do both,   kudos to her. And she's not  gonna have too many imitators.  Because what we, I mean the ones who have the  right way of thinking, are gonna think, is:  my major job, my major position, is to  raise these children into human beings   that are trustworthy. That are... That's a job. That's a major job in itself.  I am happy that I am in this position where I can  turn those children into that kind of people...   In other words, my satisfaction lies with  the job that I'm supposed to be doing,   which is raising children, raising Jewish  children to be Shomrei Torah U'mitzvas   [observant of the Torah and Mitzvahs] To be respectable people respected people. Okay, do Hasidic women celebrate Mother's Day? We  posted the video asking people for questions on   Mother's Day so we got quite a few people asking  if you and Hasidic women celebrate Mother's Day. Every day. Every day. And you know, we  don't only celebrate Mother's Day every   day. We celebrate Father's day every day.  We celebrate grandparents day every day.   Older sister day every day. Older brother  day every day. This is an everyday thing. We're sometimes so mad when we hear about  Mother's Day. Is that when you remember   that you have a mother? I mean, for the,  you know, the secular public... Every day   is Mother's Day. Every day is Father's Day. So  it's like, don't you understand that yourself?   It's not relegated to a day. It's all the time. It's a way to make money by making one day by...  Maybe. Maybe it's commercialized, yes. Yeah, it's a financial scheme. Would you say respect for the elders is more  prevalent in this world than in the secular world?  It's more prevalent in any world that   understands the Ten Commandments. Let's put  it this way: any world, any society that has   something to do with the Ten Commandments, it's  going to be more prevalent. It's so central. On that note but related: what happens if a  woman can't have children? She can't be a mother,   she can't raise all these children  which seems to be so central. What   happens in the community to a woman like that? We're very big on assisted  reproduction. Very big on it.  All sorts of assisted reproduction? No, no, the Rabbis looked into this, and they   came up with certain assisted reproduction that  are permissible and certain ones that are not.  We have organizations that help  couples who can't afford it,   you know go through the procedure with with  help from these organizations. And people   contribute to this. Like Boina Oilem [A  charity organization] where people will   give money to the charity to help people,  to help women who can't get pregnant,   to fund their IVF treatments? Exactly, exactly. Is there not a philosophy of: God made  you struggle with getting pregnant so your   role in life is to not have children? Therefore, God showed us that he sent   an organization for us. God is in charge of the  organization too. Hashem gave the Chuchma [wisdom]   to like for instance IVF... IVF came out about   maybe 30- 35 years ago. And what a blessing it  was! That Hashem gave the knowledge to doctors   on how to assist this kind of reproduction. There there are people who see maybe   the marvels of science as at odds with  religious belief. Do you get what I'm saying?  So I want to tell you that science, in the  end, is going to prove religious beliefs.  It's a scientific fact that  you cannot destroy matter.   And it's a scientific fact  that you cannot create matter.   So whatever God created, you cannot uncreate. And  whatever Hashem did not create, you can't create.  But if you really want scientific  proof, it could prove religion.  I see. Science can be used to prove religion. Yes, it could. If she can't have children or vice versa,  and one of the couple is able... one half of   the couple is able to have children.  Would they generally get divorced? The obligation in the Torah is for a man  to have children. It's not upon a woman.   The obligation is upon a man. So a man... this  could only happen after 10 years [of marriage]. If   the man needs to fulfill that obligation and he  is able, and he wants to divorce the woman, that's   what happens. He will divorce the woman so that  he can fulfill the Mitzvah with another woman.   But sometimes couples can't do  that because they are so connected   that they simply can't do that, so  you know... they stay like that. Even though one of them could potentially have   children? Especially the man -- he  doesn't HAVE TO... he doesn't HAVE   TO get divorced if he doesn't...? He doesn't have to get divorced.   He's encouraged to get divorced and the Torah  accepts such a divorce. The grounds... the   Torah accepts the ground... the grounds are  valid for a divorce. But he doesn't have to. We were talking about infertility. Could it  be that there are women who don't want to have   children? Who don't want to be mothers? That's  not what they want to spend their lives doing?  I personally don't know a single solitary  person like that. I can't even imagine it.  Maybe they don't want to say it because  there is social pressure, stigma.  I wouldn't know. But I  can't imagine it. It just...   It's... it's... it's... across every  society, women want to have children.   Every single society in the world, except maybe  in modern society, people decide not to have   children for whatever reason. I have the greatest on them.  You pity them. I pity them because they don't know what they're   missing. They don't know what they're missing.  The joy that a child brings into your life   is unimaginable. Unless you know it...  Unless you actually experience it... A lot of people love children, are  involved with children or in some role,   very intimately involved in the lives of  children without themselves being mothers   and who think children There's no comparison. No comparison. Okay, the next question is a little different.  Also on the subject of women but not on family.   On head shaving. We talked about head shaving  in the other video and people are absolutely   enamored and quite unsatisfied with where we  left the conversation. One of the questions   I have here -- someone asked how long your  hair is now. That's how the question came in. But in general, we got a  lot of questions about why   the head shaving. Why covering  the head then with fake hair? So really we're supposed to cover our heads  not with the wig but with a kerchief. That's   that's preferred... But not everybody can  do that, because they miss their hair,   okay, so we wear a wig. It's not  a substitute for hair exactly,   but it's a substitute for going  with completely just the kerchief. Would you say... someone asked: isn't  it strange, this person was saying,   I don't mean to be critical, but  isn't it strange that you should   cover your head with fake hair? You might  as well just not cover your head and...? Yeah, it is it is strange. That's right, it is  strange, it is strange. And it's a little bit   phony... the're phoniness in our part, because  really we're supposed to have covered. With   nothing, no hair, but just with a nice kerchief.  But not everybody can do it, okay. So the rabbis   agreed: wear a wig. It's a loophole sort of. Yeah, yeah. What about the head shaving, you still  want to talk about the head shaving?   Because I feel like we really didn't  put that discussion to rest. People are   so bothered... every time I opened YouTube I see  comments where people say: Why in the world would   women shave off their God-given Glory? Who is bothered?  Strangers. Who strangers?  Strangers on the internet, you know of it is. Fine strangers don't grow up like the way we   grow up, of course they're bothered. Let them  keep their hair. But we, who grow up knowing   that a woman shaves her hair, they see their  mothers, they see their aunts, they see their   older siblings, it's not a question. It's not a... It's not a big deal. What would you say to people saying men  are just once again telling women...   By the way... just a minute...  our men shave their hair too.  I see... They have beautiful locks... So we have beautiful sheitels [wigs]  The men shave their hair too and wear a head  covering, okay. It's not... it's not like the   men decided: you women... They don't have long  hair either. They don't have the kind of hair   that they could also have, or that sometimes  you remember in the 60s and 70s,   all the men were wearing long hair... Even  today I see them in ponytails, I see them...  Yes, I'm sorry, so go ahead,o what were  you saying? Men decide for women? Yeah,   men tell women you have to shave your head,  and women, you know, women are once again...?  The Torah is set up in such a way that  the rabbis are the ones who tell us,   who explain what the Torah wants from us.  And yes, we are a male-oriented society.   No apologies. We have alpha males. -Really?  The males are all Alphas. Yes, we are a society that   is divided along male and female, and the male is  Alpha. We look up to males. We look up to rabbis,   look up to fathers, we look up to teachers,  we look up to... I mean male teachers. We do.  But it's just like there's a king and a  queen. They don't have the same roles.  -But the queen is second? Yes.  -And that doesn't bother you? I told you, I'm very happy with   that role. No, because this is... Look. Our  creator created us and knows what's best for us.   Okay. He knows that for society to function  properly, for a home to function properly,   there is the head of the household, and the  next... it's like the king and the Queen.   The mother is looked up to also. But the mother with the children   look up to the father. And that's the healthiest  for... psychologically the healthiest for a home.   Now I know that there are women that say no, we  are even. We do the same thing. We're... There's   no such division... That we're even. You can  be even. You could try, yeah. I mean try it,   do it. But really... you'll be happiest  if you have your husband to look up to.   All these big women, these big knacker  women, you know, who want to be even?  I've never heard one of them say that they don't  want their husband to protect them. Or that or   that they don't want their husband to look  out for them. It's in the nature of a woman.   That she wants to look up to her  husband. They can fight their nature.   They can say we're even. They could say  he's even less than me - I'm more, you know.  It's not to our... It's not  to the benefit of humankind.  As an aside to that, this is the  second time we do a video and you   use the word "knacker" and you leave  me in a bind because it is really hard   to translate the word knacker. A big macher, how do you say...  A big macher is a big doer? Yeah, a big... a big bigshot.  The word knacker is literally to knock, right? Someone who makes a lot of noise. I don't know. We're not working on Yiddish   Okay. Then I'm going to move on. I'm going to move  on to the category on insularity. I have quite   a few questions people wanted to know. And the  very first question someone asked, I don't know   who, they might be me, about your opinion  about the internet. Is it okay? Is it not okay? Well, you know - Do you know the definition  of insularity? It's to close yourself off.   So the internet is here to stay. We have to work  with it. It's a fact of life. You can't do business   today without it almost. It's a fact of life. And it's it's a very scary thing to us because   it's the opposite of insularity. It  opens up the whole world to us. In ways that   we really don't want. So we have things  that help us. We put filters on our internet   so it protects us. It gives us some insularity.  So that we could stay protected from outside Society.  What is the fear from outside society? Can you... can you articulate why it's important...?   It's not a fear. It's not a fear. It's our mandate. It's...  first of all our mandate is to be a nation apart. Hashem wants the Jews to be a nation apart. There's so many things that we can't do that   society does... it sort of forces us to  be a nation apart even if we would like to   be part of the Nations, you know.   The Shabbes that we have. The Nations do not have   Shabbes. It forces us to be apart  And all the Mitzvahs that we have. It's not for the other nations. The  nations of the world have seven mitzvahs. "Seven Mitzvahs of the Children of Noah" Yeah [verse] The world  has seven mitzvahs that they have to keep. We have 613. These days we don't have 613  because we don't have to Bais Hamikdosh (temple)   anymore and a lot of those mitzvahs pertain  to the Bais Hamikdosh. And we are in gollus (exile) But really a Jew has 613 versus seven  so Hashem wants us to be a nation apart. And he gave us a goal, a goal in life. He gave us a mission. Which is to keep his 613...? Our mission is to teach the world that there is a God   who created the world, who runs the world, who is  in charge of the world. Who is... you know... in every   instant it... There's God all over. It's not like just... That's why I don't think Judaism is a religion. Then what is it? It's a way of life. it's not like  we are Jews and we have a religion called Judaism   It affects every minute of our life. Every aspect of life is... every aspect and   every minute is affected by being  Jews. And being Shomrei Torah umitzvahs (observant of the Torah and Mitzvahs) Everything. Everything -- the way we tie our  shoes. The way we get up in the morning. There isn't an aspect... There isn't this a time  that we are not interacting with our   so-called religion. We're being Jews, but we don't... We don't have a religion. We are Jews. So okay --  On that note... people were asking a lot if  you are allowed to have friends outside of   the Hasidic community. So nowhere does it tell us "do not have friends outside of the of the..." You talk about Hasidim now or Jewish...? Outside of... the people who live a very different way of life. It doesn't explicitly tell us that. In  other words: if I had a friend that was   a Christian, that wouldn't be a  sin on my part. It wouldn't be a sin. But I'm not going to look for it. Insularity means exactly that: being insular.   We talk all the time. We talk maybe  once a week, right? Hopefully twice.   Is that a problem for your insularity? Because  I'm not religious. I can em... Are you kidding me! What are you talking about, you're a Yid (Jew)! How could you say that! Oh. I see, I see, I see. Cause there are... You know it's interesting... I told you secular Jews, they don't understand... they think we don't like them. They think  we don't like them. They don't   understand how pained we are to see them the way  they are. Maybe that's... And if I ever meet anybody   and I... and they tell me that they're a Jew... I have instant love for that person, you know. But   they don't understand it. A lot of secular Jews  feel like Hasidim don't consider them Jewish, and that Hasidim... It's not that we don't... you can't consider them not Jewish if they're Jews. You know. If they're by your definition   anyone whose mother is Jewish is Jewish. It's not my definition. It's the Torah's definition.   The Torah says if your mother... all secular  Jews today had in the three-four generations Shomrei Torah Umitzvah Jews. (religious Jews) As... They are descendants from Shmrei Torah Umitzvah Jews. You know, everybody who says "I'm a Jew", even if he's secular, is descendant for about   three-four generations back their grandparents were Shomrei Torah Umitzvahs Jews. What if they don't want you to  feel sorry for them though? They can't tell what to do. I know they don't want me to feel sorry  for them. What if they find it condescending? What if they get hurt? I'm not going to tell  them. You're not gonna tell them? I'm not going   to tell them. I'm just gonna feel-- In your heart... A Jew! A Jew! It's like... an instant   instant, instant... like... I met my long-lost sister  or brother, you know. I see. I see what you're saying. On the note of walls. Are you allowed to read secular books? Do I read secular   books today? Yes. I read every single book on the  Holocaust that anybody has ever written. And my   goal is to read every single one of them. so I do. What about a young girl today; what kind   of stories, novels, fables would she be exposed to?  Go into any Orthodox Jewish bookstore and you'll   have enough to keep you throughout your teenage  years. Enough to satisfy you all   your teenage years. On every single  subject: novels. Not romance stories. Absolutely not, no.   Why not? Because the boy-girl  relationship is not... we don't... it's not talked about. It's not talked about, not read  about. Until you know... until you're, you know, getting   ready for marriage. And then we talk about  it. Then it's predicated on marriage. Not the arranged match, I didn't say the  arranged... I didn't say the arrangements match. After reviewing the footage it clicked in my  head. Arranged in heaven... No, arranged by. Arranged   in heaven but set up by parents. Everything  is set up in heaven. Everything. Except   except you know the moral... the moral  choices. Does that give you greater calmness in life, to believe everything  is set up in heaven? You can't imagine. You can't imagine. It's  it's like a different world.  and you know it's amazing; you talk  to... I talked to not only people my age.   I talked to younger people. Because of all  the Yiddish Publications, the    Jewish Publications that come out in English  that keep reinforcing this idea. You talk to   young women: everybody knows Hashem runs the  world in the most minutest, greatest detail. So even though we want let's say, people  want... people have a right to want, it's okay   It's okay to want. It doesn't work out: this was  what Hashem wanted for me, so everybody is like   living in a world where: yes we want. There are  certain things we hope for. Certain things we   dream of certain. Things... but we know that it's  only dependent on what Hashem really wants. Luckily we have a Hashem who's very good to us, okay? And he created the world so that he could   give. That was the purpose of the creation. So he  can give to us. So we get so much from him that   it's mind-boggling... but you have to train the  mind to understand that every breath that you take,   that every swallow, that every thing  that your eye sees, is a gift from Hashem. That everything... that in other words: we are constantly getting good things.   It's not just when you get a big nice thing.  It's not just me when we win the lottery.   It's just when you wake up in the morning, and  your eyes open and you stand up on your two   feet, and that's what we say - we're supposed to say  this is the minute our eyes open: we say Modeh Ani [prayer] You know, we say thank you Hashem for giving us  back our souls after we slept. After we slept   which is 1/60th of death. Sleep is 1/60th of death.  And now we got our souls back. So we thank Hashem   every... in other words: a Jewish is constantly  supposed to say 'thank you'.  If he doesn't say it verbally, you have to have it in mind. The word Yehuda, Jude, comes from Yehudah. It means to thank Hashem. That's why Leah [from the Bible] named her fourth son Yehudah. Because when she had the fourth son   she was grateful... she was very grateful. So Judaism  requires us to be grateful. And you know it makes   a person so happy. If you think that  you're grateful for everything, for the way your   body works, for the food that we get, for the light... For the beautiful houses that we have. For the flush   toilets that we have. For the tile bathrooms. It  keeps you in a constant state of happiness. I   never had anything but indoor plumbing but I am so...  I sometimes think about it. I think, imagine   people having, not having indoor plumbing. They  would have outhouses. Imagine how lucky we are. To have this beautiful indoor plumbing that we  have. Yeah. We're richer than Kings were once upon   a time. Yeah, in terms of comforts in life.  So this is the... this is the the shoresh (root) of the word Jew. To be grateful. It's a beautiful thing to be grateful, but you know   it's very hard. Because if you have a hundred  things to be grateful for and one thing that   bothers you, then that can be so overpowering over  everything else. It depends how you train your mind.   Someone said: As a child growing up, did you ever  fear the large secular world outside your Hasidic Community? Were you sheltered growing up as to anti-Semitism or were you aware at a young age? You better believe I was aware. When I was  growing up in the 1950s in Williamsburg when I was young six, seven, eight, nine, ten  I was afraid to go out on the street. Because   there would be people who would hit me. Kids who  would hit me. They would beat me up. Wow it's so safe   now outside. Yeah but don't forget this was  the 1950s. So there was a lot of racism. The blacks   were very looked down upon, the Jews were looked down  upon. Do you find... do you ever worry nowadays while   walking the streets that you'll get attacked as a  Jewish woman? No no no no. Do the children worry, you think?   No. No, we live in such a... we live as a sort  of a ghetto. We hardly hardly hardly have none...    The children are not exposed to non-jewish  Children. Yeah it's really very... a ghetto of our own making. It does happen in  Williamsburg too... the men are walking to shul   on Friday night and someone runs up to them and  attacks them unprovoked. I'll tell you something   I don't think it's anti-Semitism. I think  it's just juvenile delinquents. But it's not   necessarily out of a certain conviction towards...  a hatred towards... no. I have another question: Do you go... does your family go on excursions, for  instance would you go to the beach, would you leave   the community to go to museums, historical sites? We wouldn't go to the beach because of the... the nudity. I mean not actual  nudity, but what we consider nudity. The mixture of men and women... We would never  go to the beach, that's a big No-No. When we go to historical sites... we do go yes. We  go to any local historical sites is a   big draw. We'll go to like interesting... we go a lot to New Hampshire because of the beauty   of the place, the natural beauty. People go to Niagara Falls. People go to Lake   George, which is, you know, closer to us. We'll go to  the local parks that we have here. Museums? Museums is a little iffy. There is a lot of talk about things that happen 35 million years ago.   Which contradicts which the Torah says. It only  happened five thousand, seven hundred something   years ago, so you can't take a child and say: you know, this happens seven million years ago   when we tell our children the Torah says that the  world was created Five Thousand Seven... I don't even   know exactly... 5,700-something years ago. That clashes with our beliefs. So we don't take   our children to something that clashes with our  beliefs. I remember we would go on school trips to Liberty Science Center, which would be... it wouldn't have exhibits of   Neanderthals, it would have gravity... Yeah, right,  science. Like more like science. Yeah science,   but contemporary technology science. Yeah, exactly. So yeah, we get around.   Do you like to travel? Do I like to travel? I'm fascinated by museums. I love museums. I love natural wonders. It's mammish (really) like getting oxygen, you   know. To see the wonders  of Hashem, of the world? Fascinating.  Do I like to travel? No, I don't like to travel. You  and me are home bodies? I'm a home body. I like   to stick to base. Me too, me too. Thank you so much for watching this Q&A segment with Pearl. This is   not all there is: check back for another video  where we'll be asking, and answering, many more   of your questions. In the meantime, I want to extend  my heartfelt gratitude to Pearl, who so graciously   opened up and shared with me, with all of you, with  this channel, her wisdom, her Insight, her heartfelt   faith. It has been so meaningful to me, it has  been such a joy, and I really appreciated all   of you being open to listening and sharing your  thoughts in the comments. I'll see you around. Bye.
