After a two-week conflict between Israel and Palestine in the summer of 2021 led to an unprecedented spike in antisemitism, Rabbi Philip Bregman knew he had to act. He began reaching out to other racialized groups who know what it's like to feel discrimination. Eventually, he assembled a sort of Justice League of seven community leaders, including himself: Tariq Tyab of the Muslim community, Terry Yung of the Asian Buddhist community, Inderjeet Singh of the South Asian community, Jahmira Kedesha Lovemore of the Black community, retired United Church minister Gary Gaudin, and Jody Wilson-Raybould, the Indigenous leader who rose to fame as the Attorney General of Canada. The group, dubbed "The Other People", began offering their services to schools, so students could see how real people from different communities act and face challenges in person. They've visited about eight schools so far, speaking to more than 1,000 kids—mostly in Vancouver, but also as far as Salmon Arm, a five-hour drive northeast of the city. The reception hasn't always been smooth—Rabbi Bregman has faced Hitler salutes in this process—but, as he explains on today's show, it's all part of the mission of exposing biases and having open conversations. Rabbi Bregman is joined by Tayeb and his colleague Yusef Siraj, who does tech support for the group.

Welcome to Episode 76 of the No Quit Living Podcast. NQL is a personal development podcast designed to help listeners achieve their goals and desires. Through hearing the inspiring stories and tips from the greats, we will all find it easier to stay motivated. In today's episode Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Bregman defines success and talks about how to achieve it. For Rabbi Bregman, success extends far past just numbers in a bank account. To succeed, one must create a goal and a target, and hit it. Though, he is also very financially successful too, he talks about the fact that there are people who have more money than he does but that doesn't necessarily mean they are more successful. Rabbi Bregman has been broke, had his friends and family criticize his choices and decided to go against his family's dreams of him being a doctor anyways to pursue being an entrepreneur. As a man who wears many hats, he talks about how people who struggle achieving even just one thing will tell you that you can't do the many things that you may be trying to achieve. Rabbi Shlomo is a practicing lawyer, a rabbi, a speaker, a consultant, and a match maker. He is truly proof that you CAN wear many hats and do all of the things that you want to do.
