From Bokoratown, Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this episode, the rabbis are joined by special guest Congressman Jared Moskowitz,

U.S. representative for Florida's 23rd Congressional District.

Congressman Moskowitz opens up about his unwavering support for Israel, even when it means breaking party lines.

He reflects on his family's Holocaust legacy, his Jewish identity, and the deep

moral clarity that drives his advocacy for the Jewish people. With a combination of honesty,

humor, and urgency, he shares what it's like to be a pro-Israel voice in Congress at a time when

anti-Semitism is on the rise across college campuses and within political discourse. Plus, an inside

look at the complexities of navigating bipartisanship in Washington,

why social media is a double-edged sword, and what it means to be Jewish in public life today.

All this and more, behind the Bima.

Welcome back behind the Bima, joined by my dear friends and colleagues.

no because oh you know what this is news. I wasn't allowed to start on May 10th, which would have been 100 days because it was Avigal's birthday. But now it's May 13th. So I guess that's 97 days. It's official. I don't even understand what you just said. But okay, but you're allowed to start packing now. Yeah, because it wasn't allowed to steal her thunder. It's her birthday, and I can't start a hundred-day countdown on her birthday, so. Got it. That sounds good. For those who don't know, Bookerton Synagogue, the most pro-Israel shul in the diaspora, is three of our senior staff members are making Aliyadh this summer.

The Brodies, the Bornstein's, and the Gold Grabs are fulfilling the Jewish dream and bringing the talents to Israel and represents a huge transition and turnover for us.

But one that we're happy to have if it means that our senior staff are contributing to the Jewish future by moving to

Israel. So it's exciting, exciting, a little stressful time here, but exciting there. And we are in

only admiration and awe of our beloved. But we know you're going to be back, Rabbi Brody, a lot.

I'll be seeing you. Yeah, you won't, you're going to be back by Brody a lot. I'll be seeing you.

Yeah, you won't.
