[music] Welcome back to Behind the Bea. We got a great guest this episode. Y and I had the privilege of speaking to Michelle Weiss, the first Orthodox Jewish woman elected as a mayor of an American city, Cleveland Heights. And it was a great conversation. I know you're going to look forward to hearing it get Rabbi Moscow. How are you? >> I am doing great. I was actually in Cleveland this summer for the first time. And you know, it's interesting because here in BRS, we're so used to having everything in one building. You have so many different minimum eight have so many different minimum eight minyanam shop this morning, every different flavor of Judaism all under one roof. And you go to Cleveland and it's a very different experience. >> That is correct. On one block, I've been to Cleveland. It's like shu. And my experience, and no criticism of Cleveland, every community has its history and has its tremendous things to learn from. But I don't know if this was your thought, but my BRS brain went to Cleveland and was like, why don't you just put a fence around all these shooles, have one dinner, one board of directors, one budget, and consolidate so many resources.
