From Boko Atome, Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this episode, the rabbis are joined by Sirley Besser, author of Jewish biographies in Svaren,

and contributing editor at Mishbacher magazine.

Surly discusses how he got started as a writer, explains how he handles imperfections of Gdollum

when writing biographies, and shares how he handles feedback and criticism on social media.

Also, what do the rabbis find more stressful, getting rid for Pesach or the Yomim No Ryan,

an update on the Myers-Leonard story, and a recap of the rally to free a local laguna.

All this and more behind the Bima.

Good evening and welcome. It's Wednesday night 9 p.m.

I'm your host, Rabbi F. Gauberg, joined by my dear friends and colleagues are by Philip Mosco, by Josh Brody. And we're here to take you behind the Bima. That is correct. We're here to go behind the Bima. We've got a very exciting show for you. A dear friend Sruly Besser, and it promises to be a fascinating exchange of ideas. Sruly is not afraid to lay it out and to defend his positions and to talk about uncomfortable topics.

Though we're going to talk about inspirational topics because behind the Bima is not a controversial show.

We don't thrive on controversy. We thrive on inspiration. We've got some follow-ups for you on the Aguna situation. We've got a follow-up on Myers-Leonard. We've got a lot to talk about tonight. But first, our sponsors, want to thank our dear sponsors. The Mueller family, our dear friends, the Mueller's, who's sponsored in the commemoration of David's new book. David is a prolific author. He's written now several books,

our dear friend David Mueller.

And his new book is called Growing Up with Houdini.

His father was a big supporter of the magic industry.

We had an illusionist on a few weeks ago.

Since then, we are...

Aspiring allusions.

Aspiring allusionists ourselves,

watching YouTube videos. When I say some of us, I don't mean me.

But David is legit and David's family are legit and he is a great new book that tells the story of growing up with Houdini.

And I've looked through it, I've read parts of it, and it's really a wonderful story, and I highly recommend it.
