I wanted to bring Shimi Adar on because behind all the dancing, energy, and positivity is someone with a lot of depth.In this conversation, we talk about peer pressure, self-confidence, kindness, and what it means to stop living for everyone else and start becoming the person Hashem created you to be.Shimi shares stories from her own teen years, the struggles she faced trying to fit in, and the lessons she wishes someone had told her when she was younger.I hope every person listening walks away feeling a little more confident, a little more understood, and a little more excited to be exactly who they are.Support the show

We challenge the need to be the hero of a good outcome and ask what success looks like when the goal is bigger than our name. Using Rabbeinu Bechaya on Mishlei and Parsha Naso, we learn how simcha becomes real when we celebrate God's will being done, even through someone else.  • the difference between wanting the yeshiva funded and wanting to fund it  • defining success as the accomplishment rather than our accomplishment  • how Rabbeinu Bechaya frames a parsha through a single guiding verse  • why “simcha” is a specific joy tied to Hashem and wisdom  • “asos mishpat” as joy in the phenomenon of justice  • learning to be happy when a friend does the mitzvah better  • the story that tests whether we can celebrate Torah we did not build  • simcha as a mitzvah that completes avodah  • why the Leviim sing and what it trains in us  • the 30 to 50 window as a lesson in using strength well  Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!------------------Check out our other Torah Podcasts and content!SUBSCRIBE to The Motivation Congregation Podcast for daily motivational Mussar!Listen on Spotify or 24six!Find all Torah talks and listen to featured episodes on our website, themotivationcongregation.orgQuestions or Comments?

Reb Simcha Gottleib lives today in North Miami Beach where he practices Chinese medicine and works on different literary projects.Back in the 1960s he lived on a probiotic farm in Binghamton, NY where he and his friends sought refuge from the excesses of both the cultural standard bearers and the hippies that sought to tear them down.It was there that he met Reb Meir Abuhesera which would lead him and many of his friends to end up, of all places, in the Lubavitch community of Crown Heights.In this episode Simcha shares his fascinating journey and we discuss the gift of openness the chassidic newcomer has and the challenge of retaining it as time goes on.____Support this podcast at: https://www.hflpodcast.com/donateIf you would like to sponsor an episode or advertise on the podcast please reach out to bentzi@yuvlamedia.com____This week's episode is brought to you by "This World Is A Garden," a new film and live concert production by Yuvla Media based on the Rebbe's first talk, Bosi Lgani.Combining beautiful cinematography with a live performance by a string quartet, this production is a meditation on hope and holding on to a vision even as time passes by.Now you can bring this groundbreaking experience of Bosi Lgani to your community.For more info please visit: ⁠https://www.yuvlamedia.com/thisworldisagarden____Homesick for Lubavitch is a project of Yuvla Media.Bentzi Avtzon is a filmmaker who specializes in telling the stories of thoughtful and heartfelt organizations.Business inquiries only: hello@yuvlamedia.comConnect with BentziWebsite | ⁠https://www.yuvlamedia.com

What happens when Torah, growth, and mental health start pulling against each other instead of working together?In this episode of Shtark Tank, Yaakov Wolff speaks with Dr. Dan Jacobson — psychologist, musmach, co-author of Flipping Out, and author of Light in the Darkness — about stress, anxiety, yeshiva pressure, and the long-term impact they can have on our Avodat Hashem.To recieve a free copy of Light in the Darkness, about kedusha in today's world, email dan.jacobson.psyd@gmail.comThey discuss the difference between healthy pressure and unhealthy stress, why anxiety seems to be rising in today's world, and how formative yeshiva experiences can shape a person's relationship with learning for years afterward. They also talk about balancing Torah, work, and family life, navigating Pesach pressure in a healthier way, and approaching struggles in kedusha with more honesty and less shame.This is a thoughtful and practical conversation about serving Hashem with more clarity, more balance, and more simcha. What We DiscussedDr. Jacobson's path into psychology and his interest in the intersection of Torah and mental healthThe difference between stress and anxietyWhy some pressure is necessary, but too much can become destructiveHow yeshiva culture can sometimes create unhealthy stress around learning and growthThe long-term effect of yeshiva experiences on a person's relationship with TorahWhat to do if learning has become tied up with guilt or pressureBalancing competing values like learning, marriage, parenting, and responsibilityHow to reduce stress around Pesach prep and focus more on meaningOCD, halachic uncertainty, and the importance of clear guidanceWhy so many men struggle silently in areas of kedushaWhat Dr. Jacobson hoped to add with his booklet Light in the Darkness Key TakeawaysStress and anxiety are not exactly the same thing. Stress is often tied to present pressure, while anxiety is more future-oriented.Some pressure is part of growth. The goal is not zero stress, but healthy stress in the right dose.Yeshiva can be deeply formative, for good and for bad. If Torah became associated with guilt or pressure, that needs to be rethought.A working person should try to build a relationship with learning that includes pleasure, connection, and simcha — not just obligation.Many struggles become worse when there is too much doubt, especially for people with OCD tendencies.Pesach can become overwhelming when people lose sight of what is halacha and what is chumra, habit, or family expectation.In struggles around kedusha, shame and secrecy often make things worse. Honest, psychologically grounded guidance helps. Notable Lines / Ideas“If the prime emotion that someone has with regard to their learning is a negative emotion, that has to be checked.”“You want there to be simcha and pleasure and joy and connection with your learning.”“We build our strength and resilience by encountering and learning how to handle some difficulty.”“The holiday of freedom can feel enslaving if we lose sight of meaning.”Chapters00:00 Intro05:20 Stress and Anxiety, in Yeshiva and beyond28:12 Balancing learning, marriage, parenting, and other real responsibilities32:15 Pesach pressure: cleaning, OCD, chumros, and staying sane38:52 Light in the Darkness: what Dr. Jacobson wanted to add to the kedusha conversation45:48 Rapid fireAbout the GuestDr. Dan Jacobson is a psychologist and musmach who has spent years thinking and writing about the intersection of mental health, yeshiva life, and Avodat Hashem. He is the co-author of Flipping Out and the author of Light in the Darkness, a booklet addressing struggles in kedusha with psychological depth and Torah sensitivity.

As the war in Iran goes into its third week, the Gulf States are still seeing attacks, the US and Israel continue to pound IRGC forces, and unfortunately Israel continues to see missiles landing.

True simcha is achieved through gladdening others, particularly those who need the extra support.

In this shiur, delivered to the Chizuk Mission, Rav Burg explains how on the one hand we can only experience Simcha in a state of completion and on the other hand our world is fundamentally fragmented.

In this eye opening class we break down the fundamentals of the truth of Happiness. using the wonderful book "What the Angels taught You" we explore traversing levels of Happiness beginning from the elusive happiness that society deems we need going up the ladder of faith to belief and knowledge. We unravel the mystery of simcha and how we can attain it in the simplest of ways.
