- 2:46SPEAKER_00: Did you know foxes are part of the dog family, and there are more than 35 species of foxes.
- 2:54SPEAKER_00: They're most active at dawn and dusk, which means they are carpuscular animals.
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: They have excellent hearing, and they can hear animals that are even miles underground.
- 3:07SPEAKER_00: A fox's bushy tail helps it with balance, staying warm, and even communicating with other foxes.
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: And in our fox story with Rabbi Akiva, the people with him were crying.
- 3:21SPEAKER_00: They were so upset.
- 3:23SPEAKER_00: How could a place that was so holy, how could that become filled with wild animals?
- 3:29SPEAKER_00: And Rabbi Akiva instead was laughing, and he explained to them, just like it's written that the holy temple will be destroyed, and that came true, I am confident that it will also come true that soon there will be peaceful and beautiful times ahead.
- 3:44SPEAKER_00: And the other people with him said, Akiva, you have comforted us.
