On this episode, the Rabbits are joined by former U.S. Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman.

shares what qualities make for a good ambassador, and discusses what he believes to be the most effective ways to combat anti-Semitism in America.

Also, recapping Yud Teskisle at BRS and the uniting power of Torah.

All this and more, behind the Bima.

Good evening. It is Wednesday 9.9 p.m. I'm Rabbi F.

from Goldberg, joined by my dear friend and colleague Rabbi Joshua Brody, and we are here to take you

Behind the Bima. We are here to take you. Behind the Beema.

We are here to take you behind the Beba, another amazing episode, really excited, privileged, honored

to have a conversation with former ambassador David Friedman, somebody who influenced policy

and achieved enormous, enormous, game-changing shifts for Israel, the U.S.-Israel relationship and facts on the ground in Israel, like the moving of the embassy.

Really excited for that conversation.

But first, Rabbi Brody, how is your week?

Where are we finding it, Rabbi Brody, this week?

Actually, in Washington, D.C.

What brings you to Washington, D.C.?

A couple of important meetings, you know, we're meeting with people, not like David Friedman and not political meetings, but hopefully changing the world kind of meetings and the Jewish world. Of course, there was Uttes Kislev. Big, big week for all of us out there. So we're a big week. The Russia Shana of Hasid of Hasid, consider the new year of Hasid, celebrating the Yurtzite, the anniversary of the day of death of Ravdove Bear, the Magid of Mizritch, and also marking the release of the Altar Abbot from prison, time that Hasid just really began to flourish and blossom and sprout and spread around the world, and it has brought a great light, And it's not for everyone. Not everyone's into it. Not everyone has to be into it. But if you've been touched by the world of Hasidus, the warmth of Hasidz, the light of Hasidus, then it's a significant day on the calendar. And it's infectious to be around Chabadnikers who really marked that day so meaningfully we had a big

utas, Kisselaifengen. Rabbi Lipsker from Bal Harbour, who is the founder of the Shul in

Bal Harbour and started the Aleph Institute, taking care of Jews in prison and Jewish soldiers spoke.

It was a great Faberang. It was packed. I think we might we might have the largest. I said, this is 770 Montoya circle. I think we're the 770 of the south now. We had a great Fabrenen. Rabbi Dengh was there. Rabbi Edelman was there. Chabad rabbis from all over were there. And it was meaningful singing, Shlomo Simcha, the great sweet sounds of Shlomo Simcha. It was a beautiful, beautiful night.

It was really great.
