From Bokrotome, Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this episode, the rabbis are joined by historian and author Myron Sugarman.

Myron discusses his early beginnings in Newark, talks about his connection with connected people,

shares his experience as a fighter against anti-Semitism, and explains why we need modern-day Minutemen.

Also, how the rabbis spent their yeshiva week, plus how to respond to Whoopi Goldberg's recent comments about the Holocaust. And should Jewish organizations be teaching self-defense? All this and more, behind the Bima. Okay, everybody, welcome to Behind the Bima. Guess we're live. I'm really sure we were Rabbi Goldberg just went,

but I'm sure it's an emergency. You don't realize what it's like. You're a rabbi.
