Good evening. It is Wednesday night 9 p.m. I am Rabbi Ephraim Gould. We're joined by my colleague and dear friend Roy Philip Moskowitz, and we're here to take you behind the Bima. You might notice that tonight there are only two of us. Where is our third host? Where is the great, the inimitable, the one and only at Rabbi Josh Brody?

So the answer is that we're having on a Harvard professor, and Rabbi Brody was a little bit

intimidated and nervous. It couldn't even show to have this professor from Harvard, but I'm just

joking. That is not where he is. Rabbi Brody is in the Holy Land. He's back leading yet

another men's trip to Eritzisera to Israel. He is part of momentum and building the momentum of the

Jewish people and trying to help inspire Jews of all backgrounds. He's in Israel. It is the middle of the

night. It's an interesting thing because many less dedicated people woke up in the middle

of the night to be on behind the Bima. But Robert Brody needs his sleep. No, in all fairness, he was

going to come on, but he's in the middle of a desert now with no lights or Wi-Fi reception.

Correct. He said no Wi-Fi, no generator, no power outlet.

They're in like a tent in the desert.

And so even the great Rabbi Brody is back.

But it's an opportunity for us, a little chavrusa, a little one-on-one.

And we do have a very special night tonight.

First of all, let us thank our generous sponsors of tonight's episode, our dear friends,

Naomi and Zfeynachman. Naomi Nachman is world renown, chef, cookbook author, influencer online, and a good friend of my wife,

and a good friend of our community. So we always love to taste her food and learn from her and be inspired

to find her great accent and her joy for life. And Svinachman is a really

great example of someone who's a business person, but very dedicated to learning Torah, teaching

Torah and sharing Torah. He is coming out with a book with a beautiful safer. I had the privilege of

seeing in advance, really, really wonderful contribution based on classes that he gives and looking

forward to coming out. So big, big thank you to Naomi and Sveenachman for the generosity,
