Shlomo Horowitz grew up in Israel in the Belz community, and his life shifted after a divorce. Galit, a proud Sephardi, was married to Noam and blessed with twin girls, until tragedy struck and Noam passed away after a long illness. Both Shlomo and Galit had their lives turned upside down - but in Los Angeles, their paths crossed and they built something new together. Today, they channel their experiences into helping families facing medical crises across California.

Once, as I was giving a class about the halachot of Tishah B'Av, I mentioned the law regarding work on this day – that Halachah permits working on Tishah B'Av, but the Rabbis teach that one who does so will not see blessing from his efforts. Although work is permitted, we are warned that no blessing will result from work performed on Tishah B'Av. As I was teaching this halachah , it dawned on me that Tishah B'Av is one of two days on the Jewish calendar when working is allowed but will not bring berachah , the other being Purim. I started thinking, what do these two occasions have in common? Why specifically on these days are we advised that although working is allowed, it will not bring us blessing? The answer, I believe, is that these are the two days when we are commanded to feel the "mood" of the Jewish People. Halachah teaches משנכנס אדר מרבים בשמחה – we all increase our joy when the month of Adar begins, and משנכנס אב ממעטים בשמחה – we all decrease our joy when the month of Av begins. Purim and Tishah B'Av are days marked by a national mood. Jews across the world are happy and jovial on Purim; and Jews across the world are sad and somber on Tishah B'Av. If somebody goes to work, as though it's just a normal day, he is separating himself from the Jewish People. He's too preoccupied with his own affairs to participate in the nation's joy, or in the nation's pain. And when we separate from Am Yisrael , when we're too focused on ourselves to think about the rest of the nation, there's no berachah , there's no blessing. One of the races in the Olympics every four years is the 4 X 100 meters relay. Each nation is represented in this race by four runners, each of whom runs for 100 meters and then passes the baton onto the next runner. For decades, the United States consistently won the gold medal for this race, because it has the fastest runners. More recently, however, the U.S. has had less success – not because its runners aren't as fast, but because they haven't been able to pass the baton smoothly to the next runner. As Jews, our job is not only to "run fast," to reach the finish line ourselves, but also to "pass the baton" to the people around us. Our "race" is not only individual, but national. We need to run together. And this means that we can't just be looking out for ourselves. We need to be looking out for one another. Rabbis aren't the only ones saying this. Our bitterest enemies are saying this, too. Sapir Cohen is a young woman who was captured by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, and released 55 days later. She has since shared that at some point before she was freed, the terrorists who held her captive showed her the news reports on TV. She saw the vigils being held in "Hostage Square" in Tel-Aviv, attended by Israelis from all backgrounds, spanning the political spectrum. She noticed that this was not the same Israel as the country she lived in on October 6 th – a country that was bitterly divided. Her captor told her that the fierce in-fighting among Israelis before October 7 th encouraged them, the terrorists. They knew that when Israelis are fighting with one another, they are so much weaker and so much more vulnerable. They saw the fighting and felt confident that their attack could succeed. משנכנס אב ממעטים בשמחה . On Tishah B'Av, we mourn together – because we need to rebuild together. In order to recover from the hurban (destruction), in order to bring our final redemption, we need to "pass the baton" to one another. It's not enough for each person to decide what he needs to do personally, which mitzvot he needs to observe better, which personal improvements he needs to make. Of course this is very important. But we need to do more than that. We need to remember to "pass the baton," to look around at all our fellow Jews, no matter how different they are from us and from each other, and extend a hand. We need to run this race not alone, but as a nation, and this means reaching out to every fellow Jew in need and to feel closely bonded and connected to the entire Jewish Nation.

With Sunday approaching closer and closer and considering the predictions made all week leading up to Super Bowl LIX weekend we are now two days away from kickoff. Hearing predictions from a hand full of famed voices and players across the sports world, but joining the guys this morning happens to be an NFL player who's played recently in a Super Bowl not too long ago alongside what many may argue is the best quarterback the league has ever seen. Super Bowl champion Leonard Fournette joins the guys discussing this highly anticipated game rolling into Sunday along with special guest Maureen Carlson from the non-profit organization Rebuilding Together. Helping out constantly wherever it tends to matter, Maureen and Leonard both give their final predictions as we rolling into the final stretch to Sunday's kickoff.

Super Bowl LV Champion Leonard Fournette, former LSU and NFL RB, joined The Locker Room and talked about what it takes to beat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, the Chiefs vs Eagles matchup, his LSU Tigers and more Leonard was joined by Maureen Carlson, President & CEO of Rebuilding Together, to talk about local volunteers joining forces to host the 30th Annual Kickoff to Rebuild Event in New Orleans.

(Nehemiah 3:1-12) God has a vision for His church, and when His people receive that passion and urgency to accomplish His vision, amazing things can happen for nothing is impossible with God and His people.

The common wisdom we're taught when starting up a business is, “Solve a problem that needs solving.” But the truly exceptional success stories of our time have not followed this advice. When Coca Cola came along, nobody who was enjoying a long, cool glass of lemonade was clamoring for a sweet, syrupy, brown drink. When Uber came along people weren't fantasizing about getting into a car with a total stranger. And when Jeff Bezos started selling books online, nobody in their right mind would give their credit card number to a person they didn't know on the world wide web. At the end of the day, it wasn't Bezos' ability as a salesman that convinced people to trust Amazon, it was the invention of a piece of software called “encryption” that made it safer to give your credit card to Amazon than to a server in a restaurant. Today there are other online companies poised to capitalize on the next technological change to e-commerce. One of those is a local startup called Cucuron, an online art gallery based in New Orleans, founded by Megan Manning.  You might ask, “How many people are going to pay $2,000 for a piece of artwork based on a photo on a phone?” Maybe not a whole lot, but… When augmented reality and virtual reality become a part of our device's operating system – which they definitely will at some point – looking at a piece of art online will be exactly, in every way, like looking at a piece of art on the wall in a gallery. Whether or not Cucuron becomes the Amazon of art is unknowable. But it's building the architecture ready for the day when buying art online is as second-nature as buying the shoes, furniture, and mattresses people at one point said they would never buy online. Over 55% of e-commerce shoppers say the reason they buy online is, “home delivery.” Maybe it's the legacy of the pandemic, maybe it's the influence of Gen Z., but more of our lives these days seem to be home-centric. Very few New Orleanians know more about the many notions of “home” than Kristin Palmer. Kristin was Executive Director of an organization called Rebuilding Together. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Kristin led over 10,000 volunteers who rebuilt hurricane-damaged structures so New Orleanians could come home. In 2010 Kristin was elected to the New Orleans City Council. She represented District C which includes the French Quarter, the Marigny, Treme, Bywater and Algiers. In 2014 she founded Bargeboard, a home renovation and restoration company whose goal is to keep Old Algiers affordable and accessible through historic renovation, recycling and reuse. Bargeboard is a culmination of a lifetime of Kristin's New Orleans-centric personal and professional passions. In the 1940's, Abraham Maslow, a psychology professor, came up with a pyramid-shape explanation of human existence which has come to be known as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. On the bottom level of the pyramid are the most basic needs, including shelter – a home. At the top is something Maslow called Self Actualization, which includes creativity, like producing art. Maslow's interpretation of human existence has become a foundational teaching in understanding human motivation and behavior. But, if any place on earth was to challenge Maslow's conventional wisdom, it would be New Orleans. Here, our homes are of course vital, but an equally vital part of our lives - that makes New Orleans New Orleans - is music, beauty, and art. So, although both Megan's and Kristin's businesses – Bargeboard and Cucuron – theoretically represent the extreme poles of human existence, our lived experience here in New Orleans rates them as equally essential to our everyday lives.

Episode 166   Today on “The Building Code,” Zach and Charley are talking to Joe Christensen, founder and owner of Cardinal Crest Homes in Kansas City, Missouri. Joe got an early start in construction by working on his family farm. He then earned a degree in construction management and a minor in business management from Brigham Young University. Today, Joe works closely with clients to make their dream homes a reality. Tune in to the full episode to hear more about the importance of managing your construction team with grace and how to prioritize giving back to your community.   How do you promote positivity with your construction team? “If you can't find satisfaction in your job, you're going to quit. You're going to move on. And I've seen that happen in our industry right now. Jobs are delayed, they're over budget and they're really difficult to get done. And if your boss is also yelling at you, why would you stay? I know we're passionate about construction, but you've got to find the silver lining. So, we try really hard to celebrate the small wins and try to not sweat the small stuff and move on. Correct it, but be like, ‘Okay, it's time to move on.' We try to have a lot of fun.
