Today’s daf is sponsored by Rabbi Art Gould in loving memory of Art’s mother Shirley, Sarah bat Avraham v’Ziche Reicha on her 9th yahrzeit. “She was a life-long learner, a striver, she sewed and made mosaics. Once her three children were old enough, she went back to school, earned a master’s degree, created a new career doing social work and counseling, and published four books on raising a family. She lives on in the tallitot and quilts she made. Today's daf is sponsored by Deborah Aschheim Weiss is loving memory of Elsie Muller on her 30th yahrtzeit. "Elsie was a family friend, 50 years my senior. She had no children of her own, so she adopted my family as hers. We were close friends and we confided in each other. She devoted her retirement to Jewish causes and would be very proud of her adopted children and grandchildren in Israel and USA." Today's daf is sponsored by Tina Lamm in loving memory of her mother, Peppy Senders, Pesha Rivka bat Gershon HaCohen and Bina, on her yahrzeit. "It has been 21 years, and my mother's wisdom, kindness and patience are still my North Star." Today's daf is sponsored by the Shuster family in loving memory of Ozer's mother Devora bat Yisroel. "May her devotion to Torah and mitzvot be a merit to the entire Jewish people." A rebellious son will only be convicted if he steals money from his father and eats in the domain of others, as only in that situation will it be likely that the son continue to act in this way. Why? Rabbi Yosi son of Rabbi Yehuda rules that he must steal from both parents. Since the wife does not generally own her own property, two explanations are brought to understand his opinion. Both parents have to agree to bring the son to the court. Rabbi Yehuda adds that if the mother is not worthy for the father, the son cannot be convicted. The Gemara establishes the meaning of his statement - they must have the same voice, height, and look alike. This is derived from the verse in the Torah, Devarim 21:20 "he doesn't listen to our voice." The braita that says that a rebellious son never existed, nor will it ever exist, presumably accords with the opinion of Rabbi Yehuda, as it is impossible to find a couple who are identical in appearance, voice, and height. Rabbi Shimon also agrees that a rebellious son never happened and never will. Rabbi Yonatan disagrees and says he sat on his grave. There is a similar debate about an ir hanidachat, a city that all worship idols, and a leprous house. The Mishna also excludes any case where one of the parents is lame, mute, blind, etc. as the parents will be unable to complete the process as defined in the Torah. Can we infer from here that when the Torah describes how a process is supposed to happen, it must be done exactly in that way? After the son steals and eats meat and wine in a large quantity, the parents bring the son to a court of three judges and he is flogged. If he continues in his ways, he is brought to a court of twenty-three and judged to be stoned. The obligation to flog is derived by means of a gezeira shava from the word "v'yisru" by the one who slanders his wife (Devarim 22:18)  to that same word in the rebellious son (Devarim 21:18) and from "ben" to "ben" (Devarim 25:2) in the verse regarding lashes. If the son is brought to court but then runs away and by the time they catch him, he is no longer within the age range of one who can be killed for being a rebellious child, can he be executed? It depends on whether he was convicted before he ran away. Rabbi Chanina rules that a ben Noah who curses God and then converts is not convicted as the laws for judging him and the death penalty have changed.  Four sources, including the two parts of our Mishna, regarding a rebellious son who aged out before the ruling/execution, are brought to prove or disprove this ruling, but all comparisons are rejected. A rebellious son is killed because of the concern for where these actions will lead him in the future.

In this week's episode of the AmiSights Podcast, Ami has the pleasure of interviewing co-host Lynn Ozer, President of MultiFunding and fondly referred to as the "SBA Queen." Tune in as Lynn shares her journey to MultiFunding, which began about three and a half years ago, leading her to a role where she could support the incredible group of lenders that Ami assembled and connect with the entrepreneurs who turn to MultiFunding for guidance. “They always say when a door closes, a window opens,” she said. “Well, this was the best window I ever walked through and found myself in a position to be of assistance to the group of incredible lenders that Ami had put together, and also to be able to meet the world of entrepreneurs that come to MultiFunding for information.” Today's episode dives into the differences between corporate and small business management layers and decision-making, highlighting how, in corporate America, rising in the ranks often means getting further from the actual product being delivered. We'll also discuss the need for better systems to monitor and track how SBA lenders treat clients facing challenges.

Birkot Ha-Shahar - "Ozer Yisrael Bi-Gevurah" by Rabbi Avi Harari

The Old Testament is littered with “OMG Moments” – moments where one of God's names is discovered, or proclaimed, or exclaimed. These moments are meant to do so much more than just provide us with another title for God. Instead, they reveal to us a facet of God's character. And when God's character is rightly understood it can serve as a refuge for the oppressed and a stronghold in times of trouble. So, join us at Faith Covenant Church this summer as we explore together God's names and in doing so experience our own “OMG Moments”.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְקוָק, אֱלֹקינוּ וֵֽאלֹקי אֲבוֹתֵֽינוּ, אֱלֹקי אַבְרָהָם, אֱלֹקייִצְחָק, וֵֽאלֹקי יַעֲקֹב. הָקל הַגָּדוֹל הַגִּבּוֹר וְהַנּוֹרָא, אֵל עֶלְיוֹן,גּוֹמֵל חֲסָדִים טוֹבִים, קוֹנֵה הַכֹּל, וְזוֹכֵר חַסְדֵּי אָבוֹת, וּמֵבִיאגוֹאֵל לִבְנֵי בְנֵיהֶם לְמַֽעַן שְׁמוֹ בְּאַֽהֲבָה:Love 13 Echad One and Names 13+13 = 26 Havaya Colors מֶֽלֶךְ עוֹזֵר וּמוֹשִֽׁיעַ וּמָגֵן: Instead of paraphrasing Rabbi Kaplan, I thought it importantto quote him directly as this is such an incredible lesson, I doubt there is asingle person who would not benefit tremendously, He writes: The first paragraph in the Amidah concludes withfour words that are designated to bring Hashem closer to the worshiper. These fourwords are 'Melech - King, Ozer - Helper, Moshia - Rescuer, and Magen -Shield,' Whereas in the first part of this paragraph we relate toHashem in a general manner, here we develop our personal relationship with Him.These four words are the key to the entire Amidah. If one says them correctly,one is left in a perfect spiritual space for the rest of the service. Even ifone has said the first parts of this paragraph without proper concentration, ifthese four words are said properly, they will bring the worshiper to such acloseness to Hashem that the rest of the Amidah will be perfect. Let us look atthese four words in detail. The first word is 'King' (Melekh). We begin bylooking at Hashem as our king and at our relationship to Him as that of asubject to a king. A king is far away, in his capital city, in his palace. Ifyou want something from the king, you must send him a formal request, and itgoes through his staff, his ministers, his secretary. Then, if you are lucky,after a few months you may get a reply. Therefore, when we address Hashem asKing, we see Him as majestic but distant. Help is available from him, but notclosely available. In the next word, we address Hashem as 'Helper'(Ozer). Now we see him as much closer than a king. A 'helper' issomeone whom we can readily approach. He is a friend whom we know we can always call on and who always will make himself available.Therefore, when we call Hashem 'Helper,' we realize that we can callon Him at any time and He will be there for us. This is a relationship much closer than that to a king. In saying this word, we arebeginning the process through which we draw closer to Hashem. Third, weaddress Hashem as 'Rescuer' (Moshia). Again, a rescuer is much closerthan a helper. A rescuer is someone who is available to save you when you aredrowning in a river; he is right there to jump in and pull you out. A helpermay have the best intentions in the world, but if he is not close to you at alltimes, he cannot save you when you are in danger. Therefore, when we speak toHashem as our 'Rescuer,' we see Him as being available whenever weneed Him, ready to rescue us in an instant. We recognize that Hashem is alwaysclose enough to help us, even when we are in imminent danger. Thus, therelationship of Rescuer is much closer than that of Helper. This word brings usyet a step closer to Hashem. Finally, we speak to Hashem as our 'Shield'(Magen). A shield is even closer than a rescuer. A shield can help even when anarrow is flying at me and there is nothing else that can stop it. When the arrowis flying, there is no time for even the rescuer to intercept it. The shieldmust be there in place—right in front of me. Thus, when I address Hashem as my'Shield,' I can feel Him right in front of me. Hashem is all aroundme, surrounding me like a suit of divine armor. I am totally aware of Hashem'sprotective power, surrounding me on all sides. I feel that I am being protectedby Hashem, so that nothing in the world can harm me. Thus, in the four words 'Melech - King, Ozer -Helper, Moshia - Rescuer, and Magen - Shield,' we become more and moreaware of Hashem's closeness. First we see Him as a benevolent but distant king,then as a willing helper, then as a nearby rescuer, and finally, as an immanentshield. In these four words, we make the transition from viewing Hashem as aremote transcendental force to seeing Him as a protector who is closer than theair around us. The one person who reached the level where he couldconstantly see Hashem as his shield was Abraham. Hashem had told him, 'Donot fear, Abram, I am a shield to you' (Gen. 15:1). From that time on,Abraham had a constant perception of Hashem as his shield. He was always awareof Hashem being very close to him, surrounding him and protecting him on a mostimmanent and direct level…. Of all the levels of relationship to Hashem, thelevel of shield is the closest. Here we see Hashem close enough to us to stop evena flying bullet. This was the level attained by Abraham, and at this point inthe Amidah, we aspire to it. Even unaware of the danger and oblivious to even callout for help, Hashem is there protecting us. יֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוּדָ֗המַה־נֹּאמַר֙ לַֽאדֹנִ֔י מַה־נְּדַבֵּ֖ר וּמַה־נִּצְטַדָּ֑ק הָאֱלֹקים מָצָא֙אֶת־עֲוֺ֣ן עֲבָדֶ֔יךָ הִנֶּ֤נּוּ עֲבָדִים֙ לַֽאדֹנִ֔י גַּם־אֲנַ֕חְנוּ גַּ֛םאֲשֶׁר־נִמְצָ֥א הַגָּבִ֖יעַ בְּיָדֽוֹ׃ According to ourview Yehudah reasoned with Joseph as long as he felt that they were all beingpunished for something they had done in the past. When he realised thatinnocent Benjamin was being singled out for punishment whereas they, the guiltyones, were allowed to go free, he realised that he did not confront divinejudgment in the person of Joseph, but that Joseph was a capricious ruler whohad framed Benjamin for reasons of his own. There was therefore no cause forthe brothers to submit to what they had previously considered as divineretribution. The word אליו mayhave been inserted in order to deflect an accusation against Yehudah who hadpreviously offered that all the brothers including Benjamin would be slaves toJoseph whereas now he wanted Benjamin released. How could he dare reversehimself? The Torah therefore explains that the word אליו refers to Joseph whowanted to keep only Benjamin.

DivineShield of Protection Thisweek we read the portion of Balak. Balak, the king of Moab, summons the prophetBiaam to curse the people of Israel. Three times, from three different vantagepoints, Bilaam attempts to pronounce his curses; each time, blessings issueforth instead. Bilaam also prophesies on the end of the days and the coming ofMashiach. Fromthe eser zechirot 10remembrances Hashem'sfoiling of Balak and Bilaam's plot against our ancestors, so that we may knowHis righteousness– Clearly, we must remember G-d's loving-kindness and goodness; how He protectsus from our enemies' plots minute by minute, even without our awareness. Balakand Bilaam circled the Camp of Israel, looking for a way to carry out theirevil plot, while the Nation of Israel did not even know the great danger thatit was facing. RabbiAbittan in a class on Bitachon (Trust in G-d) once taught us that this week'sportion is unique in that it lacks any witnesses from Benai Yisrael. We wereall ostensibly oblivious of the menace we faced nor the extent of divineprotection we enjoyed in those moments. None of us were present to recordthe events as they unfolded and the only reason that we discovered whathappened was because Hashem had Moshe include the story in the Torah. SeeBaba Batra where we are told Moses wrote his book (the Torah) and the portionof Bilaam. Theperasha we read this week is a lesson and reminder to have faith and trust inHashem. And that Hashem is there to help and assist even when we are unawareand don't ask. It could be for this alone that the rabbis would suggest addingit to our daily prayers. It's a way to remember always that not only are we notalone, but Hashem is taking care of us always. I think the rabbi's favoritesefer was chovot HaLevavot, Duties of the Heart and the chapter on trust wasone he told us to review again and again. Yearsago when I read Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan's book on Jewish meditation, I walked awaywith one key idea incorporated in my daily Amidah which in some wayincorporates this reminder. At least I know that 4 words in my Amidah each dayhave some bit of kavanah, thought and intent. Insteadof paraphrasing Rabbi Kaplan, I thought it important to quote him directly asthis is such an incredible lesson, I doubt there is a single person who wouldnot benefit tremendously, ( See link to his book). Hewrites: The first paragraph in the Amidah concludes with four words that aredesignated to bring Hashem closer to the worshiper. These fourwords are 'Melech - King, Ozer - Helper, Moshia - Rescuer, and Magen -Shield,' Whereasin the first part of this paragraph we relate to Hashem in a general manner,here we develop our personal relationship with Him. Thesefour words are the key to the entire Amidah. If one says them correctly, one isleft in a perfect spiritual space for the rest of the service. Even if one hassaid the first parts of this paragraph without proper concentration, if thesefour words are said properly, they will bring the worshiper to such a closenessto Hashem that the rest of the Amidah will be perfect. Letus look at these four words in detail. Thefirst word is 'King' (Melekh). We begin by looking at Hashem as ourking and at our relationship to Him as that of a subject to a king. A king isfar away, in his capital city, in his palace. If you want something from theking, you must send him a formal request, and it goes through his staff, hisministers, his secretary. Then, if you are lucky, after a few months you mayget a reply. Therefore, when we address Hashem as King, we see Him as majesticbut distant. Help is available fromhim, but not closely available. Inthe next word, we address Hashem as 'Helper' (Ozer). Now we see himas much closer than a king. A 'helper' is someone whom we can readilyapproach. He is a friend whom we know we can alwayscall on and who always will make himself available. Therefore, when we callHashem 'Helper,' we realize that we can call on Him at any time andHe will be there for us. This is a relationship muchcloser than that to a king. In saying this word, we are beginning the processthrough which we draw closer to Hashem. Third,we address Hashem as 'Rescuer' (Moshia). Again, a rescuer is muchcloser than a helper. A rescuer is someone who is available to save you whenyou are drowning in a river; he is right thereto jump in and pull you out. A helper may have the best intentions in theworld, but if he is not close to you at all times, he cannot save you when youare in danger. Therefore, when we speakto Hashem as our 'Rescuer,' we see Him as being available whenever weneed Him, ready to rescue us in an instant. We recognize that Hashem is alwaysclose enough to help us, even when weare in imminent danger. Thus, the relationship of Rescuer is much closer thanthat of Helper. This word brings us yet a step closer to Hashem. Finally,we speak to Hashem as our 'Shield' (Magen). A shield is even closerthan a rescuer. A shield can help even when an arrow is flying at me and thereis nothing else that can stop it. When the arrowis flying, there is no time for even the rescuer to intercept it. The shieldmust be there in place—right in front of me. Thus, when I address Hashem as my'Shield,' I can feel Him right in front ofme. Hashem is all around me, surrounding me like a suit of divine armor. I amtotally aware of Hashem's protective power, surrounding me on all sides. I feelthat I am being protected by Hashem, so that nothingin the world can harm me. Thus,in the four words 'Melech - King, Ozer - Helper, Moshia - Rescuer, andMagen - Shield,' we become more and more aware of Hashem's closeness.First we see Him as a benevolent but distant king, then as a willing helper,then as a nearby rescuer, and finally, as an immanent shield. In these fourwords, we make the transition from viewing Hashem as a remote transcendentalforce to seeing Him as a protector whois closer than the air around us. Theone person who reached the level where he could constantly see Hashem as hisshield was Abraham. Hashem had told him, 'Do not fear, Abram, I am ashield to you' (Gen. 15:1). From that time on, Abraham had a constantperception of Hashem as his shield. He was always aware of Hashem being veryclose to him, surrounding him and protecting him on a most immanent and directlevel…. Of all the levels of relationship to Hashem, the level of shield is theclosest. Here we see Hashem close enough to us to stop even a flying bullet.This was the level attained by Abraham, and at this point in the Amidah, weaspire to it. Evenunaware of the danger and oblivious to even call out for help, Hashem is thereprotecting us. Thetheme of protecting us even when we are unaware that we see in this week'sportion begins in last week's portion which we discussed in our Sunday morningclass. After the passing of Aaron and victory against Amalekites disguised asCanaanites, we complain about our food, claiming that we are'disgusted' by the manna. The verse states וַיְשַׁלַּח ה 'בָּעָם אֵתהַנְּחָשִׁים הַשְּׂרָפִים Manywrongly translate the verse as Hashem sends serpents into the Israeliteencampment. Butthere is a difference between VaYishlach which we see a number of other timesin the portion and this word which is actually, VaYehShallach. One means tosend and the second one means to release or unleash as Rabbi Yosef Bitton sobeautifully explains. Thisverse teaches us that Hashem “released” and “unleashed” these snakes. Our Sagesexplained that in the desert Bore Olam protected us from our enemies and the naturalelements, the dangerous climate, the desert animals, the sand storms, with the“‘anane kabod”, a virtual cloud, like a “firewall.” Divine punishment then,does not consist in Hashem “sending” the poisonous snakes, but rather inHashem's “suspending” His special protection, and thus the poisonous snakes actaccording to their nature and instinct. Theproper translation helps us to understand that Hashem constantly protectsIsrael, and not only in the desert.… Israel –the Prophets and the Sages said–islike a little lamb among the nations, surrounded by enemies who want to destroyus. Israel is protected by Bore Olam through an invisible Divine firewall that“keeps our enemies away”, thwarting their plans, deflecting their missiles,confusing their ideas, etc. Thishelps to answer Mark Twains question: He has made a marvelous fight in thisworld, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. Hecould be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian,and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded todream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vastnoise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torchhigh for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or havevanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was,exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, noslowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. Allthings are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What isthe secret of his immortality? OurDivine protection is the secret! Whenour behavior is not correct, somehow the Divine firewall is deactivated. Andwhen HaShem “suspends” His special protection, the enemies of Israel do theirthing.… This idea is mentioned in a very explicit way in Debarim 31:18, ואנכיהסתר אסתיר פני ביום ההוא: when the Jewishpeople abandon their covenant with Hashem, the most severe punishment Israelmight get is that Hashem “hides His presence”, that is, “suspends His specialprotection” from us. Abeautiful aspect of this idea of VAYEH -SHAL-LACH, is what we can learn fromthis verse indirectly about the way the Creator protects us, as a nation andalso as individuals, without us even realizing it. ThePerasha continues with this idea in the 6th aliyah, as we journey on, makingour way towards the eastern bank of the Jordan River. Encrypted in this sectionis a great miracle which occurred when we passed through the Arnon valley. Tallcliffs rose from both sides of this narrow valley, and in the clefts of thesecliffs the Emorites, armed with arrows and rocks, were waiting to ambush us.Miraculously, the mountains moved towards each other, crushing the guerrillaforces. This section ends with a song of praise for the well which sustained usthroughout our desert stay — and whose now-bloodied waters made us aware of thegreat miracle which G‑d wrought on our behalf. Ibelieve these ideas expressed as we are about to enter the land are soimportant. They are meant to give us strength as we leave the miraculous worldof the clouds, the maan and the well along with the leadership of Moses behind. Weare about to embark on a new chapter. This new time will see us needing to dothings, planting our fields, defending our cities, growing wealthier and stronger. As aconsequence of success we gradually begin to believe that I am responsible formy own success and my own defense. As the Torah warns, we will say Kochi VeOsemYadi …. To overcome this danger, we must remember that the revealed miracles ofthe dessert will not disappear. They will simply be replaced by hiddenmiracles. Therevealed protection of the holy clouds encircling us will be replaced by ahidden protection, and the latter in both cases may be more important than theformer, because the latter requires faith and a realization that Hashem istaking care of us even when we don't know and we can't ask. Themessage of this portion is a message of faith. We are never alone. We are as achild in the womb or on his father's shoulders. There is a secret to ourimmortality and that is, Hashem is truly our Magen – our shield. Let'sremind ourselves of this each day and in reminding ourselves, we willappreciate and be blessed to always be protected.

Smarter than SMART: How therapists can improve goal-setting with clients Curt and Katie chat about setting goals. We look at why goals are important to therapists, SMART goals (what they are, what works and what doesn't), and how to move beyond SMART goals to more robust goal setting and behavior design. This is a continuing education podcourse. Transcripts for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode we talk about how to strengthen your goal-setting skills Many therapists learn SMART Goals and objectives as the primary tools for creating treatment plans. Oftentimes, goal setting can be a check box for insurance or a frustrating activity that doesn't seem to support clinical progress. We dig deeper into how to make SMART goals better (SMARTer goals?), and we uncover and address the limitations of SMART goals. The current research on how to move past SMART goals to more effective and strategic planning for change also helps to make our clients dig deeper into the process of achieving their goals. We also explore additional goal-setting models to inform and create a more robust goal setting strategy…and we do it all with a demonstration on how to put it into action! Why is goal-setting important to therapists? Therapeutic benefit Ethical responsibility Ability to achieve goals What are SMART Goals? Do they work? A goal-setting style that leads to concrete behavioral goals Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Timebound There are challenges that do not lead to goal attainment The benefits of effort or progress goals versus outcome goals May need to add steps to create a more robust plan How can you improve SMART goals? “Even though it's a lot easier for clinicians to have goals that will span a number of treatment plan periods, it's actually not effective for our clients.” – Katie Vernoy, LMFT Using the Grip on Life model Understanding the challenge and making sure that the SMART goal addressed the challenge Digging deeper into the elements of SMART goals Identifying the barriers to following through with goals set Finding life skills that help to reach the goal Exploring values, planning, attention Looking at what is actually more motivating Is motivation sufficient to make the goal happen? “[Make] sure that you're testing your own assumptions, because we want to meet the client where they are, in their timeframe of making the change. Because if we push them too hard, it becomes not realistic, or it doesn't become attuned to them.” – Katie Vernoy, LMFT What is the key difference between setting goals and behavior design? Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg Motivation is fickle Finding the smallest behavior change that can move you toward the goal Create a habit, put it into something you're already doing, and celebrate the accomplishment Our Generous Sponsor for this episode of the Modern Therapist's Survival Guide: Thrizer Thrizer is a new modern billing platform for therapists that was built on the belief that therapy should be accessible AND clinicians should earn what they are worth. Their platform automatically gets clients reimbursed by their insurance after every session. Just by billing your clients through Thrizer, you can potentially save them hundreds every month, with no extra work on your end. Every time you bill a client through Thrizer, an insurance claim is automatically generated and sent directly to the client's insurance. From there, Thrizer provides concierge support to ensure clients get their reimbursement quickly, directly into their bank account. By eliminating reimbursement by check, confusion around benefits, and obscurity with reimbursement status, they allow your clients to focus on what actually matters rather than worrying about their money. It is very quick to get set up and it works great in completement with EHR systems. Their team is super helpful and responsive, and the founder is actually a long-time therapy client who grew frustrated with his reimbursement times The best part is you don't need to give up your rate. They charge a standard 3% payment processing fee! Thrizer lets you become more accessible while remaining in complete control of your practice. A better experience for your clients during therapy means higher retention. Money won't be the reason they quit on therapy. Sign up using bit.ly/moderntherapists if you want to test Thrizer completely risk free! Sign up for Thrizer with code 'moderntherapists' for 1 month of no credit card fees or payment processing fees! That's right - you will get one month of no payment processing fees, meaning you earn 100% of your cash rate during that time.   Receive Continuing Education for this Episode of the Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Hey modern therapists, we're so excited to offer the opportunity for 1 unit of continuing education for this podcast episode – Therapy Reimagined is bringing you the Modern Therapist Learning Community!  Once you've listened to this episode, to get CE credit you just need to go to moderntherapistcommunity.com/podcourse, register for your free profile, purchase this course, pass the post-test, and complete the evaluation!

An eighth-generation descendant of the Bnei Yissascher, Rabbi Ozer Yosef Babad is the Rav of Khal Bnei Yissascher, a vibrant shul and community center in Toms River. Leaning into his turbulent Jewish journey throughout his teenage years, Rabbi Ozer channels his entrepreneurial spirit into helping others recalibrate their own tumultuous paths. He started running a yeshiva, a nightly drop-in center, a summer camp, and other projects to create a welcoming and inspiring space for people struggling to find one. After recognizing a need to provide help for a broader population, Rabbi Babad established Nevonim, an organization that offers 1:1 guidance to help young adults obtain the help they need to reclaim their lives, with the help of top professionals in the mental health field and case workers in recovery.
