Rabbi's Ephraim Goldberg, Philip Moskowitz, and Josh Brody from Bochrotone Synagogue

schmooze about contemporary issues. Every week features an unscripted, lively discussion, special guests

at a behind-the-scenes look at leading a large and dynamic Jewish community. Welcome to Behind the Beam Up.

On this episode, the rabbis are joined by Nocham Siegel, creator and host of the longtime radio show, J.M. in the AM.

Nacham shares stories called from his 36 years in Jewish radio, discusses the evolution of his program,

and reflects on the past, present,

and future of Jewish music. Also, the rabbis flex about the unity in the Bok-Wertone Jewish community,

plus a discussion about taking down statues versus preserving history. And how does Rabbi Bode's

mother come up this week? All this and more behind the Bima.

Good evening, and welcome to episode 14. I'm

Rabbi F.M. Goldberg, your host, together with our panelists, Rabbi Philip Moskowitz and Rabbi Josh

Brody. And as always, we are here to take you behind the Bima. Behind the Bima, gentlemen,

it is so good to be together again. I really look forward to Wednesday nights now. Like, right in the middle of the week, what's a hump day for so many? For me, it's an exciting day. We're going to hang out with you and have some great conversation and welcome guests. We've got a great guest coming on tonight. I'm really pumped about our guest, who's been a hero, an icon in the Jewish world for a long time. Very excited to bring him on. He's the king of Jewish radio. And he's watching us right now on Facebook right now. He's the king of Jewish radio. He's more than the king of Jewish radio. I mean, it might be our first conversation with him, but he's really the king now of Jewish podcasts because it's no longer a radio show. We'll talk to that about that much more. But before he comes on, first tell me,

boys, what's going on in your life? How are you both doing?

By Brody, how are you doing? I'm doing great. We got a big program coming up. Our annual Jewish

Unity today is going to be taking place Tuesday night. And this corona thought it would shut us down. But we're still here program than we've ever done. We'll get to unit day in one moment. Let's just begin by thinking, acknowledging our sponsors every week. We got dear friends who step up and sponsor. They're amazing. And this one's exciting because Jeremy Pappas, Yitz Novak, two guys that we've worked with in their roles at APEC. Here's the amazing part.

Neither of them live in Bocertone. Neither of them attend Bokertan synagogue. They're dear friends. We work together. They're great guys. And they've been enjoying behind the Bima and they've been enjoying the classes, the articles. And they asked me to make this point. They said, you know, you don't have to live in Boka to connect with and be part of and want to support BRS and what we're doing.

So we really want to thank them for sponsoring tonight for making that point and setting that example. We welcome other people to come on board with Bochertone Synagogue with our brand and who we are, our vision, where we're going. And a huge thank you, Jeremy Yitz. Thanks for all you do in your roles and your organizations. And thanks for your friendship and sponsorship tonight.

That's so nice. That's amazing. That's a great way to begin a show. Yeah, they're good guys. They're really good guys. They made a real statement by doing that. So let's start with Unity Day. Let's make a Lechaym's Unity Day because we're about to enter the three weeks. This coming week, we're going to have a fast day.

Hopefully we'll be in Yushalai, I'm the Gula.

Please, God, we won't have to mourn this year.

We'll celebrate redemption. because we're about to enter the three weeks. This coming week, we're going to have a fast day. Hopefully we'll be in Yushalayim, the Ghaula.
