From Bokkeretton, Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this episode, the rabbis are joined by Ya'uil Libowitz,

Tanakh educator and author of the recently published Ezra Nechemia, Retro Grade Revolution,

a book reexamining the return to Israel and the rebuilding of Jewish society.

Ya'al explores how the challenges described in Ezra Nechemia,

assimilation, intermarriage, and rebuilding Jewish life after return,

are not just ancient history, but questions that are still shaping Jewish life today.

Yael discusses how Tanakh presents multiple, sometimes conflicting truths, and how that shapes

the way we understand exile, identity, and Jewish continuity.

All this and more, Behind the Bima.

This season of Behind the Bima is sponsored by

Julie Charleston and Daryl Benjamin in honor of their grandparents, Morton and Malvina

Charleston, and their children, Ruby and Maccabi Benjamin. Welcome to Behind the Bima in the

hangover post-Pesach hit by a truck edition.

It was made into a movie. Not the fact that you made fun of me and every minion on the campus. I'm okay with. I told the truth, but that's okay. Which is that I pitch fast than you.

I told the story, an amazing story. We're going to have to

go this afternoon to a place that records. By the way, any time. Pitch speed. Jim Morris, who was

drafted in 1983 by the Milwaukee Brewers, had injury after injury, 58 surgeries in his playing career.

His career was over basically before it even started. Ten years later, a decade later, he's coaching high school baseball, and his team is miserable. They go to him. For the record, how much did you love that? A Hasid the Shi'i'i'i at the Siddhas Masheesh referenced your story and added another horror. A hara, because he was thinking about it, Rionte. It's amazing. Ten years later, his students are looking for inspiration. They come to him, they say, we'll chase our dreams and push hard to win a championship, never done before in the school's history. They said, but if we do it, you got to chase your dream and you got to try out for the major leagues again. Takes the bet, figures there's no way it's going to work. sure enough they go on to win the championship. He comes to a practice. The part I left out actually is during his career,
