As we prepare for Yom Kippur, we speak with Joseph Gitler about his son-in-law, David Schwartz HY”D—a ben Torah, law student, and IDF reservist in Handasah Kravit (combat engineering) who fell in Khan Younis on January 8, 2024 alongside his chavrusa Yakir Hexter HY”D.Joseph shares how David wove together strong learning with real-world duty, his years in Gush Etzion, his time at Reichman University law school, his gift for connecting across communities, and what it means to mourn while still choosing life and responsibility. We also hear about ongoing projects in David's memory and the weekly Divrei Torah initiative that now reaches thousands.Links⁠To join the David Schwartz Divrei Torah chat⁠⁠To watch the video from the Azkara⁠HighlightsBen Torah in the world: David's learning (Kli Yakar chavrusas, steady seder) and his drive to serve—both in the IDF and potentially in public service.Bridging worlds: Deep ties across communities (yeshiva, Chassidus, secular campus).

We're excited to reach this special milestone as we complete our first cycle of Parshios on the One Pasuk Podcast. One year ago, we took a leap of faith, clicked on record, and embarked on a journey into the unknown. We didn't know where this adventure would take us, but we knew we had Divrei Torah to present, banter to exchange, and a passion for sharing them with all of you. What started as a mere idea, has grown into something truly special and we have YOU to thank for it. Every listen, every word of feedback, every sponsorship dedication has made this a labor of love for us. וַיִּשְׁמַע יִתְרוֹ כֹהֵן מִדְיָן חֹתֵן מֹשֶׁה אֵת כׇּל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה אֱלֹהִים לְמֹשֶׁה וּלְיִשְׂרָאֵל עַמּוֹ כִּי־הוֹצִיא יְהֹוָה אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרָיִם׃ Jethro priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard all that God had done for Moses and for Israel, God's people, how יהוה had brought Israel out from Egypt.   Subscribe/Listen/Share onepasukpodcast.com

Living Emunah 2677 Our Deeds Although we may not always perceive the effects of our deeds, we can rest assured that every small action we take is immensely valuable and carries great weight in Shamayim. The way events unfold in the physical world depends on decisions first made in the spiritual realm in Shamayim. Our tefillot and mitzvot make all the difference; they have the power to alter even what has already been decreed. In Parashat Toledot, the Torah uses the word ויעתר , meaning a pitchfork, to describe tefilla. Chazal explain that just as a pitchfork overturns the grain on the threshing floor, moving it from place to place, so too the prayers of the righteous overturn the "mind" of Hashem. A man, whom we'll call Yitzchak, shared a personal story from years ago. Yitzchak had a relative, whom we'll call Reuven, who was extremely wealthy. One of Reuven's dreams was to dedicate a shul that would serve as a center for Torah and tefilla. Two congregations in Israel, each in dire need of a building, heard about Reuven's aspirations and sought his support. Both congregations were operating out of trailers and desperately needed a proper building. Representatives from each kahal approached Reuven, imploring him to choose their congregation. They promised to prominently display his name on the building as a gesture of gratitude. Reuven was unsure which kahal to support, so he sought advice from a rabbi. The rabbi suggested sending a trustworthy individual to pray in both shuls undercover to determine which one showed greater potential for growth. Reuven appreciated the suggestion and asked Yitzchak to take on this task. Yitzchak flew to Israel, planning to spend the first Shabbat with kehillah number one and the second with kehillah number two. During his visit to the first kehillah, Yitzchak observed an older congregation. There were no Divrei Torah, and the seudah shlishit lacked enthusiasm. The members were scrambling to find a speaker until they finally asked Yitzchak to say a few words. It was a very quiet and uneventful Shabbat. The following week, Yitzchak attended the second kehillah and found an overflowing crowd. Older people, younger people, avreichim, and children all prayed with fervor. Each tefilla included a fiery speech focused on themes of achdut and shalom. This kehillah exuded unity and mutual love. Yitzchak concluded that this was the kehillah for which Reuven should build a shul. Reuven was thrilled to support such a vibrant kehillah. The second kehillah was elated upon learning that they would receive a new building. When the project was completed, Reuven flew to Israel to pray in the new shul. However, that Motzaeh Shabbat, he called Yitzchak with complaints. Reuven described the congregation as primarily older people, resembling the first kehillah Yitzchak had visited. Yitzchak had no immediate explanation. The following Shabbat, Reuven went to pray in the first kehillah, only to find the lively, multi-generational community Yitzchak had initially described for the second kehillah. Confused, they investigated further and discovered what had happened. On the Shabbat Yitzchak visited the first kehillah, a Shabbaton for the younger crowd had been held at a hotel, leaving only the older members in attendance. During Yitzchak's visit to the second kehillah, it had been the yahrzeit of the rabbi's father, and the rabbi had invited his large family, including dozens of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who filled the shul. When Reuven heard this, he said, "I have no complaints. It is obvious that Hashem arranged the events to work out like this because He wanted that Kehillah to get the shul that I donated to." He wondered, however, what zechut this kehillah had to warrant such divine favor. The rabbi of the second kehillah explained: "We longed deeply for a shul. We committed to completing the entire Tehillim every day in shul with a minyan. Additionally, two members who were involved in a bitter machloket, which affected the entire kehillah, were asked to reconcile as a zechut for receiving the new building. On the Shabbat your representative visited, we emphasized achdut and shalom." Through the power of their Tehillim and efforts toward shalom, Hashem orchestrated circumstances so that one kehillah appeared nearly empty and the other overwhelmingly full, ensuring the second kehillah received the building they so desired. Our deeds are truly wondrous.
