***TRIGGER WARNING - This episode contains conversations about mental health and suicide.***Avremi Gourarie is a prolific music publisher behind so much of the Jewish world's music. In this episode, we discuss with him the life of his daughter Yocheved, her struggle with an eating disorder, depression, and her heartbreaking recent death.On December 22, 2020, Avremi's daughter Yocheved took her own life. Yocheved was a kind and thoughtful person. She was a top student and was in the process of applying to Ph.D. nursing programs. Posthumously, the family learned that she was accepted at Columbia University in their DNP program and on track to becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. Unfortunately, her battle with mental illness raged, and she succumbed to it, not having fulfilled her dreams.This conversation is powerful and it gives me a lot of hope. Avremi is honest and authentic, and he doesn't hold back. The episode is intense and emotional and it's a very much-needed conversation that can be taboo in many circles. On that note, if you are struggling and/or know someone who is struggling never hesitate to reach out and check in with your friend, family, and/or neighbor.Dial the new suicide & crisis hotline at 988Thanks for tuning in to this episode with Avremi Gourarie.Connect with AvremiWebsiteInstagramFacebookYouTubeTwitterSayMazelTov is where you can request personalized videos from your favorite Jewish creators and inspiring thought leaders.

Rabbi Lazer Brody was born in Washington, D.C. in 1949. After receiving his bachelor's degree in agriculture from the University of Maryland in 1970, he moved to Israel and joined the Israel Defense Forces regular army, and served in one of the elite special-forces units. He is a decorated combat veteran of two wars and dozens of counter-insurgency and anti-terrorist missions on both sides of Israel's borders. After surviving a near-suicidal mission to Beirut during the Israel-Lebanon conflict of 1982, Brody could no longer ignore the hand of G-d in his life. He became a baal-tshuva and left his mountaintop farm to study Torah in Jerusalem. Nine years of intensive Talmudic, ethics, and legal studies, led to his rabbinical ordination in 1992. He devoted another two years of postgraduate study to personal and family counseling and subsequently spent two years as rabbi and spiritual rehabilitation director of a major Israeli prison. There, he created a highly successful program of spiritual rehabilitation for prisoners based on Tshuva. In 1996, Brody moved to Ashdod and became the understudy of the famed Melitzer Rebbe, a contemporary giant in rabbinical law and personal counseling. Today, Lazer Brody dedicates his time to Jewish Outreach, and particularly to spreading the teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslev around the globe.Committed to all of humanity, Rabbi Brody's blog posts, podcasts, and live Zoom lectures are free of charge, so that money is no barrier to the health and happiness that you yearn for.I love what Rabbi Brody is all about. I've read his work and I'm really, really excited to share with you our conversation in the following podcast. So I do hope that you too take away some points of inspiration, and how you can incorporate that into your day-to-day life so you can live with more serenity, peace, and joy.Connect with LazerFacebookLazer's PodcastTwitterSayMazelTov is where you can request personalized videos from your favorite Jewish creators and inspiring thought leaders.

After spending a decade and a half studying the depths of Torah, Kaballah, Chasidus, and Spirituality, Moshe Gersht has gifted us with a new lens on life.

In the 1890's, Aron Streit and his wife, Nettie, left Europe and came to America. In 1916, Aron opened his first matzo factory. There, on Pitt Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Aron and his first partner Rabbi Weinberger made all their matzo by hand. In 1925, Aron and one of his sons opened up a modern bakery on Rivington Street. A few years later, Aron's other son joined the business. With the family working together, the Streit matzo bakery prospered and Aron bought three adjoining buildings to handle the growing business.In 2015, after nearly 100 years making matzo on Manhattan's Lower Eastside, Streit's moved to a new and modern bakery in New York. Technology may have changed but Streit's traditions and dedication to quality have not. We want to ensure we will all be able to enjoy the same great-tasting matzo for centuries to come.Family and religious values are not the only things that have remained constant at Streit's. The matzo bakery is still a family business. Today, Aron's granddaughters and great-grandsons run the company. Streit's is the only family-owned and operated matzo company in America. While others have sold out to large corporations, we at Streit's continue our family tradition of bringing you the best matzo and kosher food products for Passover and year-round.Today I am joined by Aaron Gross (Executive Vice President) and Aron Yagoda (Executive Vice President) both direct descendants of the founders of Streit's Matzo. Both Aaron and Aron take us all on a journey on the ins and outs of creating matzo and all the incredible products that Streit's now offers.

Brandon Farbstein inspires millions of people across the globe with his universal message of living life on your own terms and building the framework for personal growth. At just 20 years old, he is a renowned empowerment speaker, Gen Z activist and author. Brandon was diagnosed with a rare form of dwarfism at the age of 2, and has turned his life experience of suffering, isolation, and victimhood into empowerment, impact and influence. After a severe battle with cyberbullying in high school, Brandon decided to share his story – to both offer hope and to enact change. Whether on tour with his recently published book Ten Feet Tall, sharing his message with students at schools across the country, or working with Fortune 100 companies like Facebook and HP, Brandon consistently delivers tools to audiences of all ages to shift perspectives and strengthen their mindset.I've come across some of Brandon's accomplishments through social media, but as fate will have it, we both ended up in the same incredible program by the Rudiment Foundation. The program at MIT seeks to bring together social influencers who work in the areas of inclusion, leadership and advocacy. We participated in a highly unique program that teaches strategies and builds an incredible network to equip participants with a new sense of community and power to make this world brighter and more inclusive. After graduating from MIT, that's right. We are actually graduates from MIT. I invited Brandon on the podcast, which leads us to this very moment, which I'm very grateful for and thankful to you for taking the time to listen and learn from my new friend, Brandon Farbstein.Connect with BrandonWebsiteFacebookTwitterDon't forget to subscribe to The Great Day PodcastAnd be sure to follow my Instagram page and Facebook page to stay up to date on everything I'm working on.I'm Meir Kay and Have A Great Day!

I am really excited to bring you to today's guests actually since the moment I picked up his book, Foreskin Lament, last summer, I was stricken by this man's way of storytelling, his personal journey. As I began to learn more about him I found out there was a lot of which I related to him. We did grew up in similar backgrounds in Orthodox homes. And though his journey and specifics are very different from mine, there was a lot that I connected with and the way he expressed his feelings and his emotions. Shalom Auslander is an American novelist and author and he has written many essays, short stories, and a few novels, most recently, Mother For Dinner. I just finished reading Mother For Dinner and it's a fantastic creative novel, a great story which has many, many layers to it. I highly recommend you reading it. Shalom's work has been described, "Dark Jewish humor, as masochistic and taboo possible."On todays shows Shalom lets us delve into his process, what inspires him, his journey, his relationship with God, and several others of his releases. Shalom is a really real and raw human being, and it's really cool to have been shares to share space with him. You can click the links below to check out several of Shalom's writing and I highly recommend you purchase one of his books.Connect with ShalomWebsiteBuy Mother For DinnerDon't forget to subscribe to The Great Day PodcastAnd be sure to follow my Instagram page and Facebook page to stay up to date on everything I'm working on.I'm Meir Kay and Have A Great Day!
