Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of Behind the Bima. Behind the Bima episode

8. My name is Rabbi Ehr From Goldberg, honor to host you,

and I am accompanied by our incredible panelists, Rabbi Philip Moskowitz, Rabbi Josh Brody.

It's Wednesday night, 9 o'clock. That can only mean one thing, and that is, we are going where,

gentlemen? Behind the Bima. That's right. We're're going behind the bema we've got an incredible

night planned for you tonight breaking news this might be the biggest night ever we've got breaking

news we've got special guests we've got fascinating task force updates we've got um raffle we've got

surprise guests who may join us tonight it's an incredible lineup but let's begin by making a lechayem to life. We're here. We're healthy. We're happy. And things seem like they're getting better, even though we're not yet there by a long stretch. Everyone has to continue to be careful. And so to everyone, to our listeners, and to my dear colleagues and friends, we say lechaym, Le Chaim, Le Lechaym. Wait, we're leaving out a big part of Lechreikin. Hold on, hold on. Hey, goberg's had some big news today that I want to make a Lechaym about. We did? What happened? I didn't hear. Mazel tov Rabbi Ephraiminochev and Goberg on the engagement of their daughter, Atara Mazeltau! I heard that rumor. I heard that rumor. Lechaym, Lechaym, to my daughter Atara. I love my Atara. She's a sweetheart. And Kalev Minsky, my new son, is just, he's golden. He's outstanding. It's incredible. His parents, who are now my new brother and sister, Bruce and Jill Thank you for giving Kaleaf to us and to the world. What a special boy. And super exciting. The only thing I could say is I wish it for everyone. We should have simchas. We'll get into later. We don't have a lot of time now. Maybe the complications of trying to have a simcha during coronavirus and those are only compounded when you're a community leader and the eyes are upon you and you paint the target on your chest you have to figure out how do you enroll it how do you announce it not only how you can do everything right for yourself for your safety for your well-being how you can be an example it's not easy not easy whatever few hairs were left on my head are now gone but again i take that problem any day of the of the week. It's such a brahah. And for that, we're so grateful to the Almighty. Thank you. Lechayim, Lechaym, to everybody. I am, lechaym. That's number one. One second. Is it true that when you met the future Machatanum that they said, one second, you're Rabbi Goldberg from behind the beam? I'm not going to say whether they asked for an autograph or not about Behind the Bima. I can't say that here on the air. But I will say it was more exciting than any sheer I give or any article I've written is when they heard that we are in fact the team that is behind the Bima. So it's great. Tell us a little bit about him. What's Khaliv like?

Tell us.

I haven't met him.

Caliw's a great guy.

Let's come back to him later because we've got a lot to cover tonight.

Not that I would want to dismiss him or diminish him. He is everything. Today is his day. It's Atara's day. and we're going to come back to that.

It's super, super exciting.

But we've got a lot to cover.
