From Bokortzong Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this episode, the rabbis are joined by the Hanjala and the Kolo Younger Light from the Yeshiva of South Florida. Rush Yashiva Rabbi Yonni Levin shares his vision for the Yeshiva. Rav Rav Rolfal Stoll explains what he is looking to accomplish in his role as Moshiyah. The Menahel, Rav Simcha Shabtai, talks about how the yeshiva got started and describes a typical day at the yeshiva.

Rosh Kola, Rav YitzRozfeld and Rosh-Basifter of Yaakov Steinmetz talk about what makes the ishiva environment special and what Talmudem can expect, and the members of the Kolel talk about their path to the Shiva of South Florida and about their experience being a part of its exciting launch. All this and more, Behind the Bima. Good evening. I'm Rabbi Eferm. My dear friend and colleague, Rabbi Josh Brody. It's Wednesday night at 9 p.m. And we are here to take you behind the Bima. Behind the Bima for a very special edition of Behind the Bima. A meet the Yeshiva of South Florida edition. Normally we have one guest. We have some incredible guests, by the way. I haven't even filled you in lined up in the coming weeks. This is not one guest. This is an opportunity. One of the greatest newest things to hit Klau, Israel, to hit the Jewish world is the Yeshiva of South Florida. And tonight's an opportunity for those who don't live in Boka, not in South Florida, who have not had the privilege of connecting with the ishiva to get to meet the people behind the ishiva, learn a little bit about the ishiva and be inspired by this incredible new energy, this incredible new movement of Torah. And we're going to welcome in that leadership one by one little by little

it's going to be an incredible incredible night but first by brodie how are you what a night

first of all it's great to be back on a full live show not to say that most of them are not live

I'm sure many of them are live but sometimes we tape take you never know what's going to happen

you never know this is a full hour we're going to maybe more we are going to happen. You never know. This is a full hour. Maybe more.

We are going to be hanging out together. So I'm very, very excited about tonight. Tonight is actually a meaningful night on the Jewish calendar. Many people don't know or observe. I'd be surprised you don't know, Rabbi Brody, now that you are a born-again a Shabbatniker. But tonight is the night of Hey Tevez, which is also known as Didiedan Knatzach, because on Hey Tevis, the fifth of Tevez, a major victory. Didan Natzach means we won. And there was an announcement of we won. What did they win? It wasn't the Super Bowl. It wasn't the World Series. What did Qabat? What did the Rebbe announce that they had won? Are you familiar with this story? No. I was actually running with someone in the oil tonight, just for the record. Really? 1985. A good as Hasid al-Habad, the Qabad library, noticed that rare books and manuscripts were starting to go missing. And at the same time they were missing from their library, which the free of the Rikerebe, the last rabbi had bought from Europe, an incredible amount, tens of thousands of Sfarum and rare manuscripts.

At the same time they went missing, all of a sudden, collectors and sellers of rare books began to say there were suspicious things coming onto the market.

Just a coincidence.

Just a coincidence.

Just a coincidence.

In 1985, there weren't, as ubiquitous as today, you know, surveillance security cameras everywhere, but they had cameras. And they found actually a grandson of the Freedekar Rebbe, not obviously from the Rebbe, a grandson of the Freedekar Rebbe was stealing books from the Agudas Hasid al-Shabaabad library and putting them up for sale.

And he claimed, look, I'm a grandson of the Friedic Rabbah. They come to me. They belong to me. They're my books. I inherited. They're my books. I'm entitled to them. And it was a major source of distress for the Reba. And they tried to take it to a Dint Torah. And it ultimately went to court and the trial lasted for 23 days and the Rebitten, Chaya Mushka, the Labavitcher Rebiz Rebiz, the Friedrich Rebba's daughter, testified in court something that became iconic words. She famously said, I think they, they, the Svharam, belonged to the Khashidim, because my father belonged to the Khashidim. Wow. You can't claim they were his so they go to the grandson.

They belong to Hasidim because my father belonged to the Hasidim,

which apparently influenced the judge in his decision,

23-day trial. I won't say who the lawyer of the grandson was.

I have to be a former guest on Behind the Vima.

Possibly as a former guest on Behind the Bima, the lawyer for the losing side.

And on January 6th, 1987, the judge issued the ruling that it belonged to all of the

Babbage, and they pronounced, Didan Natsach means victory is ours, and there was was incredible joy and you don't need much of an excuse but Hey Tevez became a date and an excuse to celebrate to get together and the beginning of a new Minhaeg. You know what the minag is? Chabad and Hey Tevez the night that the Svaram were returned were restored to Kabad. I have no idea. I'm just wondering like does everyone everyone just take out a safer and just... The minigists to buy a farm. Oh, it is to buy a farm. So here's my question to you, and we'll ask this question to our guests of Yeshiva of South Florida. Rabbi Brody, what's the most recent safer that you purchased? It's a good question. I purchased eight of them.

I purchased eight volumes of the Kitzer in different editions. Just to, we gave them out. We gave them out to the people that are part of the new shear that we've begun. Now that you were in love with the kids are teaching Kitzer every day before. Yeah. Well, I got to hand it over to Dr. Oppenheimer. I'm saying like this week, I think he did, you know, four out of the five nights so far.
