From Boccerotome, Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this episode, it's the season two premiere.

On the first episode of this season, the rabbis are joined by Judge Al Hellerstein,

longtime federal judge at the Southern District of New York.

Judge Hellerstein discusses his Judaism's influence on his jurisprudence,

shares some memorable cases and experiences

from his time on the bench, and reflects on the recent passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Also, the rabbis discuss their takeaways from a most unusual Rosh Hashanah.

What does the future hold for big shul's and all shul's, and how the rabbis draw inspiration from ordinary people in the community.

All this and more, behind the beema.

Good evening, everybody.

I'm Rabbi Effron Goberg, joined it with my dear colleagues and friends.

Rabbi Philip Moskowitz and Rabbi Josh Brody.

It's Wednesday night, 9 p.m., and we are here to take you behind the beema.

How come every Wednesday night does a pause,

and I'm unsure whether you know that that's your cue for your line.

That's every conversation we ever have.

That's pretty much true.

This is season two, episode one, which I think represents overall our 24th episode.

At first we called the coffee talk.

It wasn't called behind the Bima when we first started.

So, you know, Rabbi Brody, you get a pass for the first few episodes.
