From Bokriton, Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this episode, the rabbis are joined by Yumi Schechter, CEO of Charity Bid.

Yomi discusses what it was like to grow up as Rappershal Schechter's son,

shares how he raised $200 million during the pandemic,

and explains what celebrities can do to fight anti-Semitism.

All this and more, Behind the Bima. We are with the great, the one and only, Israel, Yisrael, Yisra, Yombe, Thank you for letting us go behind the Bima with you. We're so excited to be together. Why do you start out by telling us how you got the name Yami did that nickname begin oh my gosh did you not

have my father on why didn't you ask him that question all the things you could have asked him

that wasn't that wasn't on the top of your list didn't make the top of the list mr burrow

versus arachshulchan you know we didn't get to the yummy um my hebrew name is Yisra Mosha and i think

you had mem i don't know.

It started when I was born.

I had nothing to do with it. There's no great story behind it. I'm sorry to disappoint you. Started as far back as you remember. And who was Yisrael? Was that after the country Yisrael? Or your father's a big... No, my mother's grandfather was Yisrael. my father's grandfather was Moshe.

And that's it.

Again, you've built this kick off this behind the Vima episode with. I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why

it is an exciting question to start with because you've built this extraordinary, extraordinary

business. It's a business, but really it's the business of helping others, charity bids. You've raised $200 million, according to your website. I'm sure it's actually much more since then. Since then, you need to update your website. But you've raised hundreds of millions of dollars for worthy nonprofits in the Jewish world, the non-Jewish world. When you operate out there in the non-Jewish world or the secular Jewish world, do they wonder, like, is that your favorite food, or you like to eat, or where does yummy come from?

So it's like, you know me since I'm a kid, so you know it, but it's not a name that I lead with. And then the people who somehow find

out, they think it's cute. They think it's funny. But I will correct you, and I will check my website

also. I'm going to have people look at that. But we raised $200 million during COVID alone for charities.

So having raised over $200 million, but it's something I'm very, very proud of. Sorry? Yeah, it doesn't say COVID. It says having raised 200 million. Okay, so we have to correct it, but it's something I'm incredibly proud about that during COVID. That's what we did during COVID alone. So I'm very proud of my team for that, and we will update that accordingly. It's incredible. So, you let me tell us how did you get into

that? You're in the business of helping other businesses do their business well, which is to empower

others is an amazing thing into the tune and the numbers that you have. We went to the United

Hatzel event recently here in South Florida, a magnificent, incredible event. We know that you
