You describe both your experience becoming a father and reaching out to your friends as they became fathers to discuss the experience.
What do you think your father would have done to avoid a heart-to-heart conversation about loneliness like the ones you write about?

Let my people go? Sounds like your average Twitter troll in my mentions, Leslie. The answer to your question is simple. The Jewish people love their jobs.
Building pyramids as Jewish people famously kill it on the manual labor front. And while I don't pay them and hold them against their will, a lot of people are trying to cancel me because I'm a boss and no one wants to work anymore. Also, Moses is a pedophile.
