But, I mean, on on the on the thing, you say that that it is on the portal consistent with the governance proclamation and OCR, and it's been part of the training.
Eric Dinowitz
1:44:46
I would like to see the training because I know you were also using a different definition of antisemitism, which many in the community have issues with.
1:44:55
And so is your training is the training public?

I mean, I can provide the information from the trainings.
1:45:03
Yes.

I those are sorts of things that also need to be publicly posted because we need to be able to to see the broad base of the Jewish community, also need need to be able to to comment on it and say, is this is this something that's actually helping?
