From Bokortoam, Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this episode, the rabbis are joined by Elliot Steinmetz, head coach of the Yeshiva University Maccabees, and one of the team stars, Ryan Terrell.

Elliot and Ryan discuss how Judaism informs and impacts their basketball roles, talk about some of the challenges the team faces on and off the court, share how they see Hashem's hand in their lives,

and explain how they use their positions to try to help others in the Jewish community.

Also, breaking down the difference between Kiddesh Hashem and Jewish pride.

And Rabbi Brody sets the record straight on a classic Yeshiva League basketball game.

All this and more behind Behind the Bima.

Good evening. It is Wednesday night 9 p.m. I'm Rabbi F.

From Goldberg joined by my dear friends Rabbi Philip Moskowitz and Rabbi Josh Brody.

And we're here to take you...

Behind the Bima.

Behind the Bima. Not sure what that was about there, Rabbi Brody, but we are here to go behind the Bima.

We got a super exciting episode tonight, some very, very high-profile guests, very exciting.

On the eve of their biggest game of the year, we'll talk about why it's their biggest game

of the year, but the coach of the YU Max Elliott-Stein Mets and a star player,

someone who people say is the best player in all Division III,

could have played Division I.

And that is Ryan Terrell.

Very excited to welcome them on shortly.

But first, we always begin with an attitude of gratitude.

A big thank you to our sponsors.
