The Secret Within The Secret by The Chassidic Story Project with Barak Hullman

Video link to this podcast: https://youtu.be/_UjXlnOVdugIn September 2026, news broke that Hasidic Rabbis will meet with president Trump. This was revealed when the Satmar Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum stepped up to his congregation on Shabbos and pre-emptively told his community that although he accepted an invite to sit with the president, he doesn't want the teenage boys to get too into it and excited about it. In this video, I unpack, from my own personal experience, what I think motivated the speech, what I think motivates the visit, and a little context on the Hasidic community's relationship to America.To watch the full video of my maroon binders, click here:https://youtu.be/ZRhOovJLcBYSome other thoughts on politics - here about NYC mayor Mamdani:https://youtu.be/FMgh3_O13HgMy interview with Hasidic reporter Jacob Kornbluh who covers the Mamdani beathttps://youtu.be/4MPf67ftXMEA conversation with a Satmar woman (Pearl!) about the dynasty:https://youtu.be/tPiKqDCtyIo0:00 Personal reflection2:58 Rabbi's address to students8:23 Analyzing the visit11:28 Political controversy12:21 Historical context14:17 Personal intersectionsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-frieda-vizel-podcast--5824414/support.

According to Kabbalah and Hasidic teachings, Nitsavim-VaYelekh provides the power to reconnect with the source of life, which is why it is always read before Rosh Hashanah. Connecting to the Light of the Creator: Nitsavim symbolizes placing a person before His Creator, and allows for ascension to the source of life through the teachings of Moses. Mutual Responsibility: Kabbalah teaches that in this Parashah, the responsibility and accountability that a person has for himself, his environment, and the correction of the entire world are clarified.

Talya Jankovits stopped by to talk about THE VERY UNREMARKABLE LIFE OF MRS. ETTY BLOOM, in which a profoundly flawed Hasidic woman learns that there is beauty in even the most mundane of lives.

This week I have two stories for you. The first is about a brilliant young doctor who abandoned his Jewish roots for the royal courts of Europe.

Video link to this interview: https://youtu.be/vEkKjydfG3gThe Hasidic village of Kiryas Joel is an unusual community in the state of New York. It's all Hasidic, very insular. It is shaped around the Satmar Hasidic code of behavior which includes speaking Yiddish, strict gender roles, and insularity from secular society. The community is so gendered that growing up male versus growing up female are completely different experiences. I, as this channel host, have shared much about the female experience. However, there is little I know about the male experience. Through my network of people from Kiryas Joel, I recently got to know Shia Friedman - who is a rare example of someone from Kiryas Joel who is willing to talk on my channel on the record. We sat down to chat, primarily to understand his life as a male who grew up Hasidic. Obviously, Shia's story reflects only Shia's experience, but it can give us some insights just as my experience gives us some insight as well.We talk about the school day of Hasidic boys, the relationship to teachers, the expectations of learning an extreme amount, the lack of English and secular education, attitudes towards women, marriage rituals, and stepping out of the box. I think there's a lot that's covered in this brief episode, and I so look forward to your thoughts. Shia's instagram is: https://www.instagram.com/shia__friedman/My instagram is: https://www.instagram.com/friedavizel/Check out some of my other videos on Kiryas Joel:What it was like for me to grow up in Kiryas Joelhttps://youtu.be/uHu_17N9GdEMy response to the Tyler Oliviera video on Kiryas Joelhttps://youtu.be/ZlWRN4jo-CAInterview with lawyer Michael Sussman on the early years of kiryas joelhttps://youtu.be/jcz0xmkm10sInterview with Fradel Neuman who comes from Kiryas Joelhttps://youtu.be/HoTzWaF7dU8Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-frieda-vizel-podcast--5824414/support.

Video link to this episode: https://youtu.be/vUhamjWR_vAIn this video, I provide a translation and analysis of a powerful Yiddish speech by the Grand Rabbi of the Satmar Hasidic sect, Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum. He addresses what he describes as the "new Satan" threatening today's generation: Artificial Intelligence.I offer a unique context as someone who grew up in the community. I share personal stories, including a poignant encounter at my son's opsherin, to illustrate the complex relationship between Hasidic leadership, tradition, and the relentless march of technology.In this video, we explore:-The Rabbi's Warning: How AI is viewed as a "mutation" of past technological temptations like computers and smartphones.-The "Kosher Phone" Dilemma: Why even filtered devices are now seen as gateways to unsupervised access to the world.-Cultural Preservation: The community's ingenious and sometimes desperate tactics for balancing modern necessity with spiritual isolation.-A Personal Journey: I reflect on how the internet changed my own life and why I find the Rabbi's cautionary stance more logical than many might expect.Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction: My background and the significance of the speech 01:18 Personal story: Meeting Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum 08:24 The Hasidic community's "dance" with technology 11:52 The Recording Begins: The "Flaming Speech" against the new Satan 17:09 Why AI is seen as a mutating evil inclination 21:05 The history of Hasidic solutions: Filters and bans 25:22 The "woe to us" dilemma: Why the Rabbi chose to speak out 30:25 How AI chatbots are accessed via kosher phone numbers 33:50 My reflections: Is the Rabbi's warning extreme or insightful?Join the conversation: How do you think we should manage the influence of AI on children and vulnerable communities?

Listen without ads and buy DOPEYCON TICKETS ONLY ON SALE ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on Dopey! On a sprawling new episode of Dopey, Dave celebrates recovery, remembers members of the Dopey Nation who have died, and welcomes Good Baklava founder Roy Donk for an unbelievably chaotic conversation about drugs, Phish, entrepreneurship and sobriety. The episode begins with Australian Dope Maddie B celebrating one year without alcohol after years of severe alcoholism, seizures, psychosis and repeated attempts to stop. Her message about continuing to try leads into a remembrance of Annie Ellie on the anniversary of her death. Dave plays Annie's old recording about discovering Dopey while she was still using and how Dave, Chris and the Dopey Nation helped make recovery feel possible. Dave also explains Dopey Day, the annual social-media tribute honoring Chris, Todd, Annie, Brian and the other dopes the community has lost. Taylor checks in with a darkly funny voicemail about why Dopey's willingness to laugh at addiction, death and other painful subjects still matters. Dave then reads responses to the Christmas episode with Chris O'Connor's former partner Annie, including messages about grief, relapse, lost loved ones and the idea that grief never disappears—we gradually build a larger life around it. Minnesota Matt contributes the episode's first major drug story: after spending days smoking crack alone, he wakes up naked, bloodied and bruised beside a broken guitar and realizes he overdosed while playing along with the Allman Brothers. A tape recorder captured the collapse, but after listening to the evidence, he loads another crack pipe and continues smoking. California Miles then sends an update about the end of his 38-year marriage and his attempt to replace self-pity with acceptance and the Serenity Prayer. The featured guest is Roy Donk, founder of Good Baklava and the Knicks fan who became a viral presence outside Madison Square Garden. Roy recounts growing up Orthodox Jewish in New Jersey, smoking K2, stealing cologne, dropping out of high school, working bizarre Hasidic jobs and eventually discovering Phish and psychedelics. His story escalates through cocaine dealing, life in a San Diego drug house, a dog accidentally eating acid, selling drugs on Phish tour and getting arrested at Mohegan Sun after doing ketamine at the slot machines while dressed in a Phish robe. Court-ordered rehab initially fails to convince Roy that he is an addict, and he quickly returns to nitrous, cocaine, ketamine and touring. During the pandemic, he moves to Mexico and maintains a remote marketing career while using heavily. A Tulum work trip becomes a massive binge, culminating in Roy accidentally uploading uncensored photographs of the debauchery to his employer's shared drive. After losing the job, Roy walks into an English-speaking AA meeting in Mexico and begins working with a sponsor. He eventually admits that he cannot control his drug use, returns to Phish tour sober and discovers that recovery doesn't require surrendering the music or community he loves. When he needs a legal way to make money on tour, he buys three containers of grocery-store baklava and sells them at a show. That spontaneous hustle eventually becomes Good Baklava, importing unbaked baklava from Turkey and building a growing business from New Jersey. All that and more, more, more, more on a sweet phishy new dopey episode of that good old dopey show.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Light of Learning (Oxford UP, 2024) tells the story of an unexpected Hasidic revival in Poland on the eve of the Holocaust. In the aftermath of World War I, as secularism spread, Hasidic leaders rapidly reinvented themselves as educators devoted to rescuing the youth by means of world-renowned yeshivas, Bais Yaakov schools for girls and women, and eventually underground yeshiva bunkers during the Holocaust. The Light of Learning belies notions of late Hasidic decadence and decline and transforms our understanding of Polish Jewry during its final hour.

The second is about a young chassid of Rabbi Baruch of Mezhibuz who becomes convinced his own Rebbe might be even greater than the Baal Shem Tov himself.

What does it really mean to "see" God's presence in everyday life? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Yiscah Smith explore Parshat Re'eh through Moshe's opening command, "See." Drawing on the Malbim, Hasidic thought, Rabbi Alan Lew, and the prophet Amos, they examine how mitzvot become opportunities to cultivate awareness of God's presence rather than mere religious obligation, inviting us to approach Jewish life with greater consciousness, purpose, and spiritual depth.

Video link: https://youtu.be/xBBW-b4yNfwGita got married, like many Hasidic Williamsburg girls did. In an arranged match, when she was not yet twenty. Her marriage lasted until death did them part. Decades together, seven children, forty grandchildren, and about as many great-grandchildren. What does it mean for a woman of such a traditional, pious world to lose her husband, the backbone of her life and family? Gita is a story of resilience, everlasting love, and the language to express it all through food. From her shabbos morning coffee on the porch, from where she watches young families, to her choice to have peanut butter bread for shabbos lunch, to her refusal to let her kids cook for her, she remains fiercely independent, deeply traditional, and eternally devoted to her family through food. In a world where tradition is lived through food, Gita shares her family tradition of eating Rakot Crumpli: packed potatoes. A Hungarian food of sliced potatoes and eggs, with heaps of "dairy goodies" - cottage cheese, sour cream, and lots of butter. Join Gita and me for a day in her home of cooking Rakot Crumpli and learning about her life and world as a widow in the Hasidic community. About her struggles with chronic illness and how she lives life fully despite her mobility issues and need to get around with a Rollator. Her resilience and love for life is inspiring, her fashionista side is envy-inducing. Most of all, she laughs and makes you laugh. She's alone but not lonely.This is my second time with Gita. My first visit was an interview about her life story which you can watch here:https://youtu.be/2saQ0LEwZXQ~~ Filmed by me. How did I do?

This week I have two stories for you. The first is about Reb Motele of Tchernobyl and the richest miser in a village — a man who would do anything to avoid giving tzedakah.

Think you know everything about Jewish matchmaking from Fiddler on the Roof? Think again! While the beloved musical frames arranged marriage as "tradition" and romantic love as its modern antidote, scholars argue the reality was far more nuanced — and in some ways, exactly the reverse of what the show depicts. In this episode, guest scholars Naomi Seidman, Elisheva Carlebach, Shulamit Magnus, and Ayala Fader, along with host Jeremy Shere, discuss the history of Jewish matchmaking and matrimony from the early modern period to the present day. Together, they explore how marriage functioned as an economic institution in Ashkenazi Jewish communities, who the matchmakers really were, and the role love played in the process, along with a look at matchmaking in contemporary Hasidic communities, where many of the old traditions live on.

This week I have three stories for you. The first is a story Reb Shlomo heard from the Sadigerer Rebbe on a Friday night in New York — about the Jewish community in Spain in 1492 and a decision they had to make. The second is about a Jewish woman in Poland who discovers a gold necklace and the secret it holds. The third is about Reb Yitzchak of Vorki and his very unusual grocery store. If you're enjoying these Chassidic stories, please take a quick moment to buy me a coffee. https://ko-fi.com/barakhullman Thank you! I deeply appreciate your support!
