Free Will doesn't exist... or does it? Afterall, all of our decisions are impacted by the decisions right before... right? Philosophy may not be your strong suit but surely we simply come into existence and act on our needs and what's around us. It's nice to feel like we make decisions but surely we're just animals like the rest of the living organisms on this Earth, thus we have no free will.... right? Rabbi M.Z. Dubov has much more to say on this! Free will does exist even with G-d in the picture! Dubov highlights the part conscience and a freed mindset play in the understanding of our place in the universe. Chaz Volk, host of Bad Jew and someone who once believed there was no free will, takes a deep dive into Jewish philosophy. 00:00 Introduction 06:19 Paradigm shift 08:36 Discovering Jewish tradition 12:06 Realized free will concerns 13:54 Free will exists if a higher consciousness exists 18:28 Debate over free will among believers and atheists 23:46 Determinism vs. free will in Jewish philosophy 27:28 Einstein theory 29:00 Decisions result from inputs. 34:23 Universe is not synonymous with God. 36:58 Humans are thoughts in God's infinite consciousness 40:14 Deterministic existence nullifies genuine human experience 42:34 Universal love, independence, image of God 46:49 Realize you are a soul, not a body 49:39 Survival vs. Lifestyle 52:15 Conclusion About Rabbi M.Z. Dubov:  Born in Minsk, Belarus, MZ grew up in Brooklyn in an immigrant family which fled the USSR due to antisemitism. He attended public school until enrolling in the Boston College Carroll School of Management, from which he graduated with a B.S. in Operations & Business Consulting. During his time at BC, he became heavily involved in Israeli Advocacy, co-founding “Eagles for Israel.” While running diplomatic and cultural events, MZ met Rabbi Chananel Weiner, a student of Rabbi Noach Weinberg zt”l (the founder of Aish). Rabbi Weiner opened MZ's eyes to the depth and beauty of his Jewish roots. After graduation and before jumping into the corporate world, MZ came to Aish to learn more and decided to stay, having found his calling in life. With seven years of Torah study under his belt, MZ received Rabbinical ordination from Rabbi Nachum Barowski and Rabbi Avigdor Nebenzahl. He acts as the Director of the FoundAISHons program, in which he teaches daily and serves as a mentor to students past and present. Rabbi MZ enjoys playing basketball, hiking, taking joyrides, listening to music, and teaching his kids about this wonderful world in which we live. He and his wife often host for Shabbat in their home in French Hill, Jerusalem. Connect with M.Z.

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of The Chai on Life Podcast. I'm Alex Segal, and today we are speaking with Jordana Baruchov Greenfield, the Associate Director of Mentorship for Olami and a well-known Torah influencer who posts inspirational messages on Instagram and through her own podcast, Drink It In.Not only does Jordana inspire and motivate her 6 children and grandchildren she also inspires thousands through her social media and speaking engagements.I met Jordana when I was working with Olami and was immediately blown away by how confident and excited she was about life. She was just one of those people who had such a bubbly personality, such a simchas hachayim that I instantly admired.That all being said, it's surprising to learn more about Jordana's backstory and the trauma she went through for years in two unhealthy marriages, plus an incident in childhood. You really would never be able to guess it upfront.In our conversation, it was really interesting to see Jordana more wholly — to understand what she went through and how that contributes to how she is today and also who she is in spite of it all.Right now, we're in a difficult time period on the Jewish calendar, as we've discussed, and also in the world. It's easy to get really down and feel pretty hopeless. Jordana's story will get you out of that.If you want to learn more from Jordana, find her on Instagram @Drinkitin_jordana.

Hi everyone! Welcome back to The Chai on Life Podcast. I’m Alex Segal and today, we’re talking all about Israel. If you’re a Jew right now, Israel has constantly been on your mind since October 7th (and probably for awhile before that too!) Those of us outside of Israel are experiencing violent protests from those who seem like they will stop at nothing to terrorize the Jews. When we’re living in such scary times, we’re reminded even more how badly we need Israel. We think of the Holocaust, of all those souls that weren’t able to leave or didn’t have a place to go. As we continue to navigate the stressful climate we’re in, thinking about Israel and its significance is an important one. So today, I have my friend Izzy Sakhaie on the podcast to speak about all of the questions and points of inner conflict we may all be thinking about. In this episode, we cover: -How she became religious and got more deeply connected to Israel -How her career trajectory evolved along with her Israel journey -How she decided to make aliyah and the process of doing so -What it’s actually like living in Israel -How Izzy dealt with the challenges of life in Israel and how she took advantage of the positive aspects -Why she decided to move back to America when the war broke out -Tools she uses to connect to Hashem in her everyday life now -What we can all pray for when we’re feeling stuck -What those of us outside of Israel right now may need to be doing -How she is connecting to her soul’s mission and what we can all learn from that It was an amazing, inspiring conversation that I hope you can take something from. Izzy’s Bio: Izzy is a New York native who officially made aliyah in December of 2020. Although she returned to America right after the war began, one of her personal passions is shedding light on Israel through her documentary series “My Israel Narrative.” This project aims to unpack the myriad questions our current reality is presenting. Izzy focuses on unpacking two major ideas: “What is home?” and “What is Israel to me, on both a personal and collective level?” With Hashem’s help, this project will hopefully bring to light some real answers in what's certainly a confusing and challenging time for many. In addition, Izzy manages Olami’s Zero Tolerance Campaign. Zero Tolerance is a national, student-run initiative helping to create a campus culture of zero tolerance for antisemitism. Their goal is to transform the culture on campus from one of intimidation, resignation, and apathy to one of zero tolerance to antisemitism and all forms of discrimination. Izzy also seeks to capture the beauty of Israel through her photography (25% of proceeds go to causes supporting Israel). Follow “My Israel Narrative” on Instagram, YouTube and Spotify. Learn more from Izzy at myisraelnarrative.com.

Jackie Glasser joins Raquel Betesh to discuss fear of commitment in relationships, its impact on men and women, and the challenges of dating with this fear. They emphasize the importance of recognizing and addressing this fear and subconscious issues in dating and relationships in order to build healthy and fulfilling relationships. They also discuss the role of self-acceptance and letting go of the need to control or manipulate situations, and instead, trusting in Hashem's plan for spiritual growth. Jackie Glasser: For 15  years I was stuck. I did the dating hamster wheel over and over again.  I was burned out, dejected and felt completely hopeless. Until I decided enough was enough. At that point I had 20 years of experience from psychology, leadership development, Jewish spirituality, meditation, hypnosis, somatic psychotherapy and bodywork. I decided to channel all my knowledge and expertise into helping myself date, tap into my subconscious beliefs, accept with curiosity and break through.  And it made all the difference!. Today I am happily married thank God and learned so much along the way about how our internal world literally influences our external world. We are co- creators with God and when we own that, it is transformative. I have designed a specific process to facilitate and teach you how to get out of your own way and be a bigger vessel to receive your husband.  These focus around the top five things women need to date and marry easily including but not limited to  How to  1.⁠ ⁠Gain clarity  2.⁠ ⁠Feel your worth  3.⁠ ⁠Trust yourself with one of the biggest decisions of your life   4.  Date authentically without fear and truly be open to meeting your husband As a former Today Show psychologist in Australia, Director of Leadership Development for a global non profit Olami which is in 320 locations I have spent decades teaching and creating programs. My goal is to bring tangible results that not only serve you in the present, but also give you the tools to gain self-mastery with a higher EQ (emotional intelligence) and SQ (spiritual intelligence) that will help you in all areas of your life in the future.  I believe, that no one should remain stuck and alone and that you can have the life you deeply desire. It would be an honor to help you get there. *Jackie lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two daughters.

Welcome back to the second season of the Sit With Snit podcast. This season is focussed explicitly on sitting with singlehood; how to live a meaningful life while still searching for your life partner. We process ideas and topics by engaging in thought-provoking conversations with different speakers.   For our sixth episode, I am so excited to officially introduce the first male to make it on the Sit With Snit podcast. He is a legend and doesn't need an introduction. I think that if you know him, and you know him, well, then that's all there is to it. And for those of you who do not have the honor of knowing Rabbi Jack Cohen yet, I will tell you a little thing or two about him. You might know him from his days working at Meor Manhattan, now known as Olami, Manhattan, or even before that on UPenn's campus with MEOR, or maybe you happen to be one of the millions of Venezuelans who are related to him here in Miami. Rabbi Jack is currently the Director of Jewish Education and Community Engagement at Hebrew Academy (RASG) in Miami. He is passionate about being involved as an educator and mentor in people's lives directly, together with community building, but is also interested in exploring technological or otherwise avenues for making Jewish wisdom accessible to many more people.  Either way,  our guest is near and dear to my heart; I am very blessed to call him a Rabbi, mentor, spiritual practitioner, and step-cousin. We're still working on all the many labels, and you'll hear me allude to them on the podcast, and I milk it, I milk it. I knew I wanted Rabbi Jack on this podcast from day one because he was one of the people who pushed me to launch this season. He kept saying, "Hannita, you have to do it! Like give me a time and day, and let's make it happen." And sometimes we need that, you know, push to get things going. And I wouldn't be here right now speaking to all of you without him. So first and foremost, Chodesh Tov! Welcome to the month of Shevat, and I hope the energy of Shevat gives you the biggest hug, and so does this podcast. . Without further ado, are you ready to sit with us? Feel free to reach out and DM me on Instagram and show your love by liking this episode and sharing it with friends. And as always, it's all lessons and blessings. ✨

Is Torah relevant as we go into the new year (not the Jewish new year, just the regular new year)? Afterall, this text was written over 3,000 years ago! How can something so literally ancient be applied to a world with social media, vaccines, gender studies, technology, and more? Rabbi Benzion Klatzko explains the world that we face today from the Jewish perspective. This fascinating dialogue brings about many questions and probably warrants for a 2-part episode. About Rabbi Klatzko: Rabbi Klatzko attended Telshe Yeshiva in Cleveland and received his rabbinic ordination from Mir Yeshiva in Brooklyn, New York from Rabbi Shmuel Berenbaum, ZTL. Rabbi Klatzko accepted an offer to serve as Rabbi of the 14th ave Agudath Israel of Brooklyn, New York. After seven years of serving, he began a three year stint as the Rabbi of Shaarey Tzedek Congregation in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. In 1999 saw the Klatzko family move to California so that he could accept the position of Campus Rabbi at UCLA, the first of hundreds of Olami rabbis who would work and live on campus. As a hands-on and loveable ambassador for the Jewish faith, he reconnected literally thousands of young Jewish men and women to their heritage. He also made an impressive splash in the broader Jewish community, earning the moniker “The Hollywood Rabbi.” Some of Hollywood's biggest stars and producers became regulars at his popular monthly class on Jewish thought. Beyond transforming lives at UCLA through JAM, Rabbi Klatzko's activities touched-off a revolution that profoundly changed the landscape of North American Jewry. Almost overnight, dozens of young rabbis throughout the country moved their families to campuses with high Jewish populations in an effort to reach out to the unaffiliated and curious. To this day, hundreds of young rabbis seek out Rabbi Klatzko's sagacious advice in an effort to glean some of his wisdom and experience. He currently serves as a Senior Director for Olami and in that capacity oversees and trains Jewish educators throughout North America. Rabbi Klatzko also founded the highly impactful “Akiva Trip” franchise with trips to Israel, Poland and New York Stateside. A person of indefatigable energy, Rabbi Klatzko is also a successful author (The Kuntrus / Moznaim Publications), noted public speaker, music producer, and Mohel. In 2010, Rabbi Benzion Klatzko founded the website Shabbat.com to facilitate shabbos and shidduch connections across the globe. Today, Shabbat.com is the largest Jewish Social Network in the world. Endorsed by the gedolim and active in 220 countries, 10,000 people a week take advantage of the Shabbat.com service. He is also the founder of many other projects to increase Jewish awareness and observance including the organizations Hisoriri (Hisoriri.com), Chazkeinu (Chazkeinu.org), Havdalah.com, Hashem.com, Illuminatethe World.com, LiveJudaism.com, WhyMarryJewish.com, OdYavo.org, and others. Rabbi Klatzko, his wife Shani, and their 11 children currently live in Monsey, New York, where hosting 70 or more people for Shabbos in the norm. He is proud to be counted among Rabbi Klatzko is one of Olami's “founding fathers” with 2 decades of service to campus outreach and Jewish life.

Vladne poteze v šolstvu sprožajo ostre odzive. Torbe in nahrbtniki so v tihi opomin danes stali pred več šolami v statističnih regijah, kjer so vzgojno-izobraževalni zavodi znova zaprti. Po vsej državi se več kot tri mesece šolajo na daljavo tudi učenci višjih razredov in dijaki. Predvsem tisti v zadnjih letnikih in bodoči maturanti ostajajo v veliki negotovosti glede prihodnosti, tudi zato, ker še ni potrjen razpis za vpis v visokošolske zavode.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE Rabbi Ben Zion Klatzko began his career as a 21-year-old Brooklyn rabbi. After suffering the tragic, untimely death of his younger brother Gavriel, a 28-year-old outreach rabbi in South Africa with a remarkable young footprint, Rabbi Ben Zion determined to do more, and moved with his growing family to Los Angeles to launch educational programs at UCLA. That venture soon expanded to USC and other So-Cal campuses, and ultimately to his role as North American Senior Manager for Olami, which brought him back to New York to oversee campus programs around the country. In the interview, Rabbi Klatzko describes the legendary Shabbat table his family has since established, welcoming 60-100 Jews of all stripes every week...even posting tents in their backyard to accommodate the crowds! Ultimately this led to his creation of Shabbat.com, a premier Jewish social network, connecting host families with prospective Shabbat guests, as well as matching singles and offering a global Jewish community to its members. Rabbi Klatzko shares his passion and future dreams in this wide-ranging conversation. And he freely shares his contact information so that anyone - not just world-famous scientists like the one he describes meeting - can get in touch. -------------------- ABOUT THIS PODCAST Jews You Should Know introduces the broader community to interesting and inspiring Jewish men and women making a difference in our world.
