From Bokertan, Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this episode, the rabbis are joined by Bruce Pearl, head coach of Auburn basketball.

Coach Pearl shares how his Jewish upbringing and values impact his coaching style,

talks about his passion and advocacy for Israel, and discusses why he thinks the Purim story

is more relevant than ever today.

Also, preparing to go back to the Shavas Aguddle Drosha in person, plus being more sensitive

when discussing Pesaf cleaning. All this and more, behind the Bima.

Good evening at Wednesday night 9 p.m. I'm Rabbi F. Ngoberg, joined by my dear friend,

Rabbi Joshua Brodie, and we are here to take you behind the Bima.

Behind the Bima. We are pumped up because we've got on tonight. If you don't feel like jumping out of your chair, running, working out, fighting for the Jewish people in Israel.

When you hear Coach Bruce Pearl, the guy is on fire. He is a ball of energy.

And very excited and honored to be able to welcome him and go behind the Bima with him tonight.
