From Bokrits-on, Florida, this is Behind the Mima.

On this episode, Rabbi Goldberg and Rabbi Brody sit down with Rabbi Daron Perez, a dedicated father,

compassionate leader, and a unifying force for the Jewish community.

Known for his steadfast role as executive chairman of the Mizrahi World Movement,
