#166: Behind the Bima - Rabbi Judah Mischel

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Parsha Perspectives - Rabbi Efrem Goldberg’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

From Boca Raton, Florida, this is Behind the Bima. On this episode, Rabbi Goldberg is joined by Rav Judah Mischel, a passionate advocate for unity and resilience within the Jewish community. Rav Judah is executive director of Camp HASC, the Hebrew Academy for Special Children. He's also the Mashpia of OU-NCSY, founder of Sulam Yaakov, and the author of Va'Derech, Along the Path of Chuvah. Known for his inspiring perspectives and heartfelt storytelling, he addresses the current challenges facing the Jewish world, reflects on personal experiences and broader communal narratives, and emphasizes the potential for growth and transformation even during times of crisis. Plus, the election of 2024, apolitical, of course. All this and more behind the Bima. Welcome behind the Bima, gentlemen. It's been way too long. I'm Rabbi Goldberg with my dear friends and colleagues, Rabbi Philip Moskowitz and Rabbi Joshua Brody. We've had some Behind the Bimas we were privileged to record solo at the Debreu studio in Modi'in, but the three of us haven't been together since before Sukkot, so it is great to be back together again. A lot's gone on since then. Beautiful Yom Tov season. Our construction is really exploding. We've changed the whole flow of the parking lot as we put in a new parking lot, making room for our expansion, our major expansion. We're super exciting. And there was a a little election. A little election took place since we were last together. And while we are an apolitical show, a 501c3, any thoughts, reactions to not only the election and its and its results, but to the world since then? Yeah, I'll just say I'm happy it's over.
