From Bokriton, Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this episode, the rabbis are joined by Colonel John Spencer, chair of urban warfare studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point.

Colonel Spencer provides profound insights into the complexities of urban warfare, sharing his expertise and experiences from the battlefield.

The discussion then goes into the themes of moral clarity and warfare,

the challenges faced by Israel in its ongoing conflicts, and the broader implications for Western

military strategies. Plus all the information you need to know about Rabbi Brody's big move to Israel.

All this and more behind the Bima.

Welcome back behind the Bima as we are counting up towards Pesach.

We have yet another incredible guest to bring you this week, John Spencer, one of the outspoken

non-Jewish heroes for Israel.

I'm looking forward to get that conversation.

But first, Rabbi Josh Brody last week, we had a gala to end all gala.

We had a goodbye party. We had a unity night. We had a gala to end all gala. We had a goodbye party. We had a

unity night. We had what a, and I think it was a short dinner. What a night. It had a little

something of everything. A lot of tears, a lot of tears. Wasn't expecting that. Wasn't prepared for that.

But first of all, you put every detail of it together, which I'll

admit at first I was a little cynical about that you're doing that on your own, but by the end,

you really nailed it. And it was beautiful and heartwarming and meaningful and special as our

community is gearing up to say not goodbye, but Leitra Ote.

We've seen that before many times.

Yeah, exactly. But as you're getting ready for Aliasa, so tell us about, did the dinner meet your expectation, surpass it, come up short? What was the highlight of it for you? Can I, I'm just going to read you something that someone sent me. And I think this actually sums up the whole night. And first of all, this morning, I was, I was, I was, I was at the networking thing, because I guess you guys weren't available for the Devartara. First of all, no one tried me. I think they went right to you. No, I don't think anyone went right to me. You got to get their last licks in. Yeah. So, so they, so I was going to talk about, because I heard a great thing on Aish about what makes it the ultimate leader, Mosher Rabinu, and he said because he's humble. Leaders are readers.

Yeah, like that says because of the small elephant. I'm like, that was the Dvartar I was going to give. But then I'm like, I can't give that because you're going to all look at me and be like, yeah, you're not a humble person. So I don't want to be hypocritical, so I went to another thing.
