From Bokortem, Florida, this is Behind the Bima. On this inaugural episode of 5783,

the rabbis are joined by Rabbi David Foreman, educator and founder of alf beta.org. Rabbi Foreman

discusses how alf Betta started, shares his thoughts on the state of Jewish education, and explains his

approach to Jewish texts. Also, the philosophy behind booing professional

athletes, plus thinking about how to have better conversations, and the rabbis recap a busy

Tishre at Bokritson Synagogue. All this and more, behind the Bima. It's Wednesday evening in

9 p.m. I'm Rabbi F. Gourbertschoma, my dear friend and colleague by Joshua Brody, and we are

here to take you behind the beam.

Behind the beam is back.

After a yunt of break, the way the yunt of schedule fell out Wednesday nights. We just took a break.

We weren't taking a break. We were forced to break, but we are back. First opportunity.

We are back. And I hope that we're better than ever. I want to thank incredible sponsor for night, olivebeta.org. The truth is not the sponsor. It's our guest, or byformant is olivebeta.org. This is the biggest favor we're going to do for you. Go on olive beta.org. Sign up, subscribe. It will change your life. Rabbi Foreman is unbelievable.

The total learning, he will expand. He will blow your mind. You will be grateful. It's worth every penny.

Buy it as a gift for somebody. Take advantage of the free learning opportunities on Olive Beta or their

podcast into the verse. We'll talk more about that with Rabbi Foreman, but he's amazing. We'll talk more about in a moment, Rabbi Brody, how Rabbi Foreman changed your life. But first, Rabbi Brody, how are your holidays? Where are you now? What's going on? We are traveling the world right now. We are in the Motor City, Detroit, Detroit Rock City, Pistons. In fact, I saw a billboard. I was coming from downtown

back to wherever we are right now, the Jewish community. And there was a former guest behind

the Bima on a billboard. Really? A former, or not a former, former guest, current judge who's

running for reelection. Nice. Right. So, Nice. Right? So big deal for Richard Bernstein.

Amazing.

What brings you to the Motor City?

We are spreading Torah far and wide.

That is spreading Torah far wide.
