The talmud teaches that if a person destroys one life, it is as if they have destroyed an entire world. And if a person saves one life, it is as if theyve saved an entire world. What an extraordinary honor to be with us as we honor four righteous individuals whose courage is measured in the lives they saved. One child. O one refugee. One comrade at a time. And who, in so doing, helped save our world. I deliver a lot of speeches. Very rarely am i so humbled by the eloquence that has preceded me. Not just in words, but in the acts that we commemorate today. To my dear friend, steven spielberg, thanks for your moving and generous words. You spoke of the importance of finding your voice and using it for good, and i know that your work, whether a masterpiece by schindlers list or the stories that you have so persistently preserved through the Shoah Foundation is deeply personal.

Groups inside syria from these three countries. I mentioned a lot of it is money being raised through social media, charities. A lot of times its kind of a complex situation where you have money thats being raised, allegedly or essentially for human train operations and then gets used for military purposes. So i think having a president chairing this Security Council meeting tomorrow, it will up the pressure on these countries to cut off the flow of money and funding to the Islamic State. And if you dont get in line, you know, you could potentially get targeted yourself. Not military but sanctions have always been a tool used is used to try to force countries banks, individuals not to provide money to terrorist organizations.

So, i main focus now is making sure that we raise funds for scholarship, for grants, and making sure that we bring your kids and my kids also to a Great Institution that prepares them for a lifelong learning, lifelong job and lifelong citizenship in a great country. Provost, here is a tweet from one of our viewers, lauren, who says Virtual Schools will be one tenth the cost. Well, Virtual Schools are great for people who are very interested in that. But i believe sincerely in the residential experience for students.

If you stay in your bedroom, thats very difficult, very, very difficult to produce what i call a whole citizen. We believe we produce Online Education for people who are desirable of that
