It's a very beautiful story of Levi Isaac of Berditchev, who is this, you know, mad, profound man.

realized beyond realized.

And here's the paradox.

He puts God on trial.

He actually holds a trial, literally holds a trial to, this is a prayer as protest, right?

To kind of try God for the widow whose son disappeared, right?

So he's this very dramatic figure and he's also madly in love with God, right?

So, Levi Isaac tells a story of one of his students that comes to him, right, and says, you know, I can never complete a blessing, right?

And, right, I can never complete a blessing.

And he says, why can't you complete a blessing?

He says, the student, and Levi Isaac was thrilled with the student.

He says, because I say, blessed are you.

You.

You, you, you, and I faint in ecstasy.

And I just say you, right?

And I said to Ken, the student didn't faint in ecstasy because of a dogma.

He fainted in ecstasy from the direct experience of you.

So that second person.

And at that moment, we understood it together.

We had a shared realization together.
