From Bokworts on Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this episode, Rabbi Goldberg and co-hosts by Philip Moskowitz and Rabbi Josh Brody,

are joined by Frank Mink, a former neo-Nazi leader and member of the Ku Klux Klan,

whose life took a dramatic turn.

Frank discusses how after years of being entrenched in the world of hate,

he experienced a profound awakening that led him to announce his past,

embrace tolerance, and become a strong advocate for understanding and unity. Plus, what are Rabbi

Brody's favorite shoes? And what sports team should you root for? All this and more, Behind the Bima.

Welcome, welcome to Behind the Bima. I am Rabbi F. from Goldberg, joined by my dear friends and colleagues. Rabbi Philip Moskowitz and Rabbi Josh Brody here to take you behind the Bima. How many times do you run into people who know that they listen to something we do, but they can't quite remember the name. They're like, behind the pulpit. I love behind the pulpit. I love on the bema. The bema.

The bema. It's great. They have all kinds of names for it, which is fun. We have a great

conversation tonight. Really fascinating. Frank Mink was a neo-Nazi white supremacist in jail for

three years for violent crime, swastika tattooed on his neck, leader in that kicked out of the Klu Klutz Klan

for being too violent. It takes a lot to get kicked out of the clan, I imagine, and then discovered

that he's Jewish. And in part of a whole journey, now where's Tfilin and studies with a rabbi?

And wow, what a story. What a story. we're going to bring that to you. But first,

another interesting discovery I made while looking into this, actually something that he referenced,

and that is, did you know, Rabbi Brody, did you know that Doc Martin, the name of a shoe that

somewhere, did you know that Doc Martin was a Nazi?

And did you know that as skinhead culture emerged in Great Britain in the 70s,

adherence developed their own style wearing steel-toed work boots?

And one of the indicators that somebody's a skinhead neo-Nazi is that they wear Doc

Martens because apparently Doc Martin himself was, that's what was told out.
