B”H My guest today is Rabbi David Eliezrie, author of the newly released and highly acclaimed book Undaunted: How the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe Saved Russian Jewry, Reimagined American Judaism, and Ignited a Global Jewish Renaissance. This is a fascinating conversation that will give you a much deeper appreciation for the sixth Chabad Rebbe's impact on Judaism as we know it today — from Jewish education, to communal leadership, to the very survival and rebuilding of Jewish life in America and beyond. And as you'll hear throughout this interview, many of the battles he fought were also financial. You'll hear many episodes, some of them obscure and unknown. For example, how sixth Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, went out on a financial limb to save what some might have considered “the competition” — one of the most important Torah institutions in America at the time, Yeshivas Torah Vodaath. Rabbi Eliezrie is also the author of the highly popular book The Secret of Chabad, which was recognized by the National Jewish Book Awards. He serves on the board of the Jewish Agency for Israel, has been active in global Jewish affairs for decades, and has served as a Chabad shliach in Yorba Linda, California for over thirty years. And in what felt like a special bonus for my audience, Rabbi Eliezrei also candidly shared some of his own stories of financial struggle, miraculous outcomes, fundraising, risk-taking, and bitachon along the way. You'll want to listen and internalize his life lessons. Here's Rabbi David Eliezri.

Bitachon is more than a source of comfort — it is a way of seeing the world. It allows a person to face life with clarity instead of fear, confidence instead of anxiety, and a profound awareness that every moment is guided by Hashem. But genuine bitachon does not happen automatically. It must be cultivated, strengthened, and brought into the heart. Chazal and our great Torah leaders reveal a remarkable method for doing exactly that. The Talmud Yerushalmi, the Zohar, the Maharal, and many other sources teach that regularly reciting verses of trust in Hashem has the ability to reshape the way we think and feel. The Maharal writes that these pesukim carry extraordinary power, serving as a source of blessing, protection, and spiritual strength. In this inspiring Inside ArtScroll interview, Rabbi David Sutton discusses the timeless wisdom behind his second volume of, A Daily Dose of Pesukim of Bitachon. He explains how these carefully chosen pesukim can help us deepen our emunah, strengthen our relationship with Hashem, and approach life with greater peace and confidence. Filled with practical insight, Torah wisdom, and uplifting stories, this interview offers a meaningful glimpse into the transformative power of living with bitachon.

Check out this powerful message from Rabbi David: “A Surrendered Life.” Rooted in Matthew 16:21–17:13, this sermon challenges us to lay down our own plans, take up our cross, and follow Yeshua wholeheartedly. From Peter's revelation to the Mount of Transfiguration, we're reminded that true life is found in surrender. Don't miss it—be encouraged, stretched, and drawn closer to Him

“Try Again, Please (Passover Sermon) ” is a powerful reminder that God is the God of second chances. From the story of Dov Gruner to the biblical pattern of second Passover, we see that failure is never the end of the story. Time and again, God invites His people to start fresh—rewriting the tablets, restoring worship, and calling us back to Him. As it says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, in Messiah we are made new. No matter what you've missed or where you've fallen, His grace still says: “Try again.”

Healthy cells have something important: a good membrane. They don't let everything in. Maybe that's a lesson for us, too. In this week's message from Matthew 15, we explore how Yeshua held boundaries, showed compassion, and responded to people's expectations with wisdom. Because sometimes the most spiritual prayer might be: “Lord, help me to be selectively permeable.” Check out our latest sermon from Rabbi David: “How to Be a Cell Membrane.”

Rabbi Joseph Potasnik and Reverend A.R. Bernard discussing the profound layers of Passover with guest Rabbi David Seth Kirshner. The conversation explores the holiday's inherent dual identity, balancing the joy of liberation with a sober reflection on historical and modern oppression. Kirshner emphasizes that Judaism is a religion of questions, where the ritual of inviting children to inquire at the Seder table is more important than providing absolute answers. The participants also reflect on Kirshner's recent book, which chronicles the emotional and theological struggle following the October 7th attacks, ultimately framing faith as a resilient pursuit of hope and unity amidst brokenness.

This is this episode is Part Two of “613 Books” Podcast, Producer-Host Heather Dean's guest is Rabbi David Eliezrie, the senior Chabad Shliach in Yorba Linda, California. Rabbi Eliezrie the author of Undaunted: How the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef Schneersohn saved Russian Jewry, Reimagined American Judaism, and Ignited a Global Jewish Renaissance.” “Undaunted” highlights the courage of the Rebbe during the harshest years of Soviet oppression. While most religious leaders fled as the Communists closed synagogues and schools, Schneersohn remained, risking his life to sustain Jewish life and earning a reputation as “the last man standing.” Despite torture and a death sentence, his defiance led to his release through international pressure. Using historical documents and rare archives, Rabbi Eliezrie shows how the Rebbe introduced Chabad teachings in Western Europe, empowered women, and built yeshivas to revive Chassidic life. The book also recounts his dramatic escape from Nazi Europe and his arrival in the U.S., where he famously declared, “America is Not Different,” sparking a transformation in Jewish life. It documents the deep personal relationship between the Sixth Rebbe and his successor, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. “Undaunted” emphasizes that Schneersohn's mission was driven by self-sacrifice, not martyrdom. Even in exile, he led Jewish resistance and laid the groundwork for Jewish revival worldwide, inspiring generations of Chabad leaders to persevere under oppression.

Sponge, Funnel, Strainer, or Sieve? Which kitchen tool will help you live? God is faithful, a patient planter, and loyal Are you rocky, thorny, or fruitful soil? In Matthew 13, Yeshua invites us into the classroom of the Kingdom—where learning isn't passive, and growth takes intention, patience, and discernment. This week at Tikvat Israel, we'll explore how parables, kitchen tools, and soil all point to the same question: will we simply notice the lesson, or will we bear fruit thirty, sixty, and even one hundred fold? Check it out in this week's sermon from Rabbi David on the New Covenant Parsha (Matthew 13): What Kind of Student, Soil, and Kitchen Tool are You?

In this episode, we sit down with Rabbi David Wein (Tikvat Israel, Richmond VA) for a full Messianic Judaism 101 conversation.We cover: • The meaning of Messiah / Yeshua / “Body of Messiah” • Torah vs Tanakh vs Talmud (and what those actually mean) • Why language matters when talking to Jewish people about faith • The best and worst ways Christians try to share Jesus with Jews • A thoughtful response to the objection: “The God of the Old Testament is a moral monster” • And yes—Isaiah 53: what it says, what it means, and why it becomes a flashpointThis is a respectful, practical conversation designed to help you understand the Jewish context of the Bible and communicate the gospel with humility, clarity, and wisdom.Follow Men's AllianceInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mensalliancetribe/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mensalliancetribeTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mensalliancetribeWebsite - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/Explore Battlefield Coaching today and find yourself a Coach with experience overcoming a battle you are currently facing - https://battlefieldcoaching.comOrder the Book - Answer With Truth: The Ambassador's Field Manual for Leading Your Family Spiritually - https://amzn.to/3BmnuKV

What if Shabbat isn't just “not working”?  What if it's about healing and wholeness?  Learning to stop striving, because you're not a solo ox--there's a stronger ox connected to you! In Matthew 11–12, Yeshua doesn't just teach about rest--he is that rest, and challenges how the religious leaders understood it. “Come to me, all who are weary and broken, and you will find rest for your souls.” Check out our latest sermon from Rabbi David along with some glimpses of the real-time survey from our community about Shabbat!

A king sends his humble son to teach the people the heart behind the law — love, forgiveness, restoration, and compassion. Some welcome him. Others think they already understand everything. In Matthew 9, Yeshua calls a tax collector, eats with sinners, and challenges the religious: “Go and learn what this means — I desire mercy, not sacrifice.” Messiah comes not to affirm what we know, but to teach us what we've missed. He calls the outsiders, confronts the insiders, and invites all of us to follow, to unlearn if necessary, and to become teachable again. Because the kingdom of God isn't built on experts — it's built on learners.
