From Bokertan, Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this episode, the rabbis are joined by Jewish music sensation Nissen Black.

Nissen discusses his conversion to Judaism, talks about what life is like as a black Jew,

shares his experiences as a young rapper, and explains how he can all be on Team Hashem.

Also, the Behind the Bima curse? plus an update on BRS's upcoming event

for Israel, and a conversation about the transformative power of music. All this and more,

Behind the Bima. Good evening, Wednesday at 9 p.m. Rabbi Ephraim Gover, joined by my colleagues

and dear friends, Rabbi Philip Moskowitz and Rabbi Josh Broody, and we're here to take you behind the Bima. We are here to take you behind the Bima. We begin, as we always do, with gratitude. A big thank you to our generous sponsor for tonight, Aerevut, an agency dedicated to the core Jewish value of Chesid, Staka, Tikken Olam. Aerevut is a repeat sponsor. Our dear friends at Arevut, thank you so much for all that you do, bringing light to the world, transforming the world. You can download your 22 A Kindness a Day calendar. We'll post the link. For more recent, go to the website, Areivut.org, A-R-E-Y-V-U-T-O-R-G. A-R-E-Y-V-U-T-O-R-G.

A-R-E-Y-V-U-T-D-O-R-G.

It's as close as I get to rapping.

A-R-A-V-V-D-O-G.

Go for it.

I'm bum.

Ar-V-V-V-T-R-V-UT-R-UT-R-UT-R-UT. Thank you for your generosity. Thank you for your sponsorship. Gentlemen. A lot of people don't know that you could sponsor again. Just because you sponsored once doesn't mean it's like a one and done. That's correct. We will try to squeeze you in if you would like to sponsor. Be in touch with us and we'll let you know which week is available. And we'd love to have your support your sponsorship. Not one penny goes to any of us or our guests or any costs of running behind the Bima. It all helps support

the Torah that comes from our community. And so we thank you very much for that. Very exciting

night tonight. We have on a Jewish music superstar, really a superstar person, amazing life

story, amazingly inspiring person and very, very excited to be able to welcome on. But before that, gentlemen, how are you?

I am fantastic.

Although I will say I would have liked a better outcome after our guest last week.

So would I.

I received text directly and even one person I don't know tweeted,

blaming us for the max loss last week.
