I'm a big fan.
All right.
And then we gotâwe didn't get an email about this, but I sent you a clip from the Pit Crew podcast.
We did get some emails from people for whom the Tree of Life sequence in last week's episode really worked for them.
Absolutely.
Felt really important for them.
And I think you and I agreed at the time thatâ
You know, we didn't at all object to this being a plot line.
We just had some questions about how exactly it was deployed.
But a piece of information that we didn't have that this Pit Crew podcast segment that I saw got into was the fact that Dr. Robbie himself is likely, though it's not confirmedâ
named for Dr. Jerry Rabinowitz, who was one of the victims in the Tree of Life shooting.
And this is a quote from a CNN article about that.
When gunfire erupted, Rabinowitz was not in the basement where the congregation was gathered, but outside the room, his nephew said, quote, why?
Because when he heard shots,
He ran outside to try and see if anyone was hurt and needed a doctor.
That was Uncle Jerry.
That's just what he did.
If there was a message his uncle would want everyone to take from the tragedy, Ostrand said it would be a message of love, unity, and of the strength and resilience of the Jewish people.
So this idea that Dr. Rabi in the first place is an homage to this beloved member of the medical community who was part of this horrific event that happened in Pittsburgh.
Right.
