From Boccaratone, Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this episode, the rabbis are joined by Malcolm Holmline, Executive Vice Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.

Malcolm discusses how he got his start in activism, what keeps him grounded, and how people can make a difference today in the fight against Jew hatred.

Plus, preparing to make a bar mitzvah during the pandemic.

And the rabbis share Thanksgiving memories and what they're thankful for this year.

All this and more behind the Bima.

Wow.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and a good era of Thanksgiving to all.

It's Wednesday night 9 p.m. joined, as always, by Rabbi Philip Mosco,

turned by Josh Brody, my dear friends. And we have a very special guest tonight, very excited to bring him on.

And in this Thanksgiving week, very thankful to him for making that time to join us. But before we welcome him,

how are you gentlemen doing? Tell me about your week.

That was yours. I know. It was great. I can tell you something really special. A lot of

Simchas have been pushed off and we got a call just a few weeks ago that someone was not part

of our community, but part of the outreach world that we're working in. And they said,

you know, we're looking at having a big wedding. And every week, it just got smaller and smaller

until we said, you know what, let's just do it at the synagogue. Let's do it at BRS. So we needed a

minion. We got a minion. We got Shimmie Kamenetsky. We called out all of our friends. We made

this couple a beautiful wedding on Sunday morning. That's beautiful.

That's amazing.

Yeah.

That's fantastic.
