From Bokurton, Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this episode, the rabbis are joined by Jewish music superstar Avram Fried.

Avram talks about his history with various chasidic sets, shares some highlights from his storied career,

and explains the power of connecting with a niggum.

Also, the shul goes on a relief mission to New Orleans.

What speech makes the rabbis most nervous?

And a special guest who's celebrating her bat mitzvah this week?

All this and more, behind the Bima.

Good evening, 9 p.m. Wednesday night.

We are fit out of practice, but nevertheless, we're here to take you.

Behind the Bima.

We are here to take you behind the Bima.

Gentlemen, rabbis, dear friends, countrymen, it is so exciting to be back together again.

Let's begin, as we always do with gratitude and thanking our sponsor for this evening's

episode, our dear friend Julie Ehrlich, the event planner and designer of FC events and productions. She's a class act, a real talent, and she's helped the shul in enormous ways. We have several of event planners in the shul that we're blessed to work with. Most recently on the high holidays, she helped us secure the tents that we had and more, and Julie can help take care of all your needs. So you can call our 786-391904. If you're making a Simche in Florida, if you live here, if you're making a destination event in Florida, be in touch with Julie Ehrlich of FC events and production. 7863951904. Thank you so much to the Ehrlichs for their support. Rabbis, how are you this fine evening? What could be bad? We're back. It's behind the Bima. Yontov's over. It's been a nice hiatus, but it's also nice to get back. This has been such a part of our weekly ritual and tradition. So I've missed it dearly. And it's nice to be back together, hanging out with good friends. Robbie Moskis has been keeping really busy.

He's been flying and he's been doing things and making a difference in the world.

He has been, no question about it.

We have the posters hanging to prove it.

Not all of our listeners know where Rabbi Brody is baiting me to go, but Arishul, very proudly, ran a mission to New Orleans last week in partnership with the OU and the NCSY in an organization called NCHAMA.

And it was really spectacular.

I know you were saying it somewhat facetiously, but it was really an amazing...

That's because facetiously, someone wasn't there. But it was really an amazing... That's because facetiously, someone wasn't there.
