And it can be through a teaching.

It can be through a prayer experience.

It can be through rituals.

Totally meaning making is my job.

Yeah, I mean, it is interesting how much I take for granted people's familiarity with like just the general contours of the Torah or the Bible.

You know, just the other day I was just like, oh, that's going to story of like the binding of Isaac.

And someone's like, what's that?

I'm like, you don't know the story where like Abraham was commanded by God to like sacrifice his only child, you know?

And they're like, no, I've never heard that story before.

I'm like, right.

Yeah.

I live in this, like, little bubble.

Like, of course, The Binding of Isaac.

Oh, the Binding of Isaac.

I don't know if this is the question behind your question, but it's the question that I'm hearing is, why am I returning to the Torah as this book of wisdom?

The traditional answer to that question is, the Torah was written by God.

Right.

And so like, if you want to, you know, and like a kind of the way it's often talked about in Jewish tradition is it's like, it's like a blueprint for the world and like a sort of instruction manual for how to live your life.

And there are parts of the Torah that are very much instructions like eat this, don't eat this, wear this, don't wear this.

So that that stuff's kind of clear if you believe in it.
