From Bokertan, Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this episode, Rabbi Goldberg and Rabbi Brody are joined by Rabbi Chaim Wolfson,

co-Rash Yeshiva of Yeshivat Ha Hezder, Yurukha.

Rabbi Wolfson shares the brave and emotional journey of his yeshiva over the past year and a half,

focusing on the sacrifices made by students on the front lines defending Israel.

He discusses the shift from traditional

Torah study to providing spiritual support for students in combat and the vital role of faith

and education during these challenging times. Also, the complexities of the recent ceasefire,

the ongoing support from the global Jewish community, and the profound impact of keeping the Torah flame burning amidst adversity. All this and more behind the Bima.

We're joined Behind the Bima with Ravchaim Wulfson, Rosh Hashidhavah of the Yashivat Hezder in Yurukham.

not that it's a competition that anybody wants to win but it paid a very very heavy price with the

loss of just extraordinary outstanding tell me dim so thank you for what you've done to to lead them

Thank you for this invitation and for this opportunity.

And I agree we had a very complicated year.

such a tragic, but both heroic events we've been through.
