Welcome back to another episode of the Meaningful People Podcast. We sit down in this episode with the one and only Rabbi Ephraim Goldberg, the Rav of RBS. What's RBS stand for? Ramat Beit Shemesh. It does. It does stand for that. What else does it stand for? I know I know Boca's Is Boca in there? I think I messed up the initials. Did you? Boca Raton BRS maybe? Boca Raton Synagogue. Synagogue. Yeah, that makes more That makes way more sense. So, he's not from Ramat Beit Shemesh, but he is the Rav of Boca Raton Synagogue, one of the youngest, fastest growing Jewish communities in the entire world. Yeah, and uh it's easy to see why he's such a popular person. Uh but more than that, I I've heard a little about him just from online. He's all over the internet, whether it's shiurim, videos, Zoom, articles. He's everywhere. As Yaakov put it after our our conversation with Rabbi Ephraim Afraim. Yeah. What did you think? I thought Afraim was the name. Oh, you thought his name was like Chaskie and he went with Ephraim? There's very few Ephraims in the world, but if you think about it, there's Shmuel, Samuel, Avram, Abraham, Yitzchak, Isaac, and Ephraim, Ephraim. It's just that one didn't really catch on widely, but it did for my parents. But I'm grateful because the last name Goldberg, like Rabbi Goldberg, you can't get more cliche than that in the whole world. So, at least Ephraim gives me some character. Right. It It makes you stand out a little. A little bit. So, the name Ephraim, to me to me it sounds maybe a little on on the modern side. What did you have more of a modern like
