Imu shares his journey of how he went from being the Director of the Maccabeats and Producer for Mayim Bialik's successful YouTube channel to his current position. Imu also talks about how Rabbi David Fohrman's tireless work ethic and innovative approach to learning TaNaKh changed his own approach to Torah study. He highlights specific lessons that stand out to him, and how they've impacted his personal growth and development. We share our opinions on what is lacking in Yeshiva educations and discuss what can be done to improve it. As a coach, Imu helps individuals navigate various challenges in their personal and professional lives, such as business relationships, marriage struggles, stress and anxiety, productivity, and management. He shares how he uses the Enneagram to determine what motivates and drives us as individuals, and how it can help us better understand and collaborate with others. It was amazing to get to know one of the other voices behind AlpehBeta.org, which our listeners know by now is our go-to Torah content for the entire family.

Madlik Podcast – Torah Thoughts on Judaism From a Post-Orthodox Jew

Join Geoffrey Stern and Rabbi Adam Mintz recorded on Clubhouse on March 9th 2023. The Torah commands the Priests to wash their hands and feet before conducting the Temple service. The Rabbis command hand washing upon waking, before prayer, before eating and on multiple other opportunities. When I studied in the Yeshiva, I had a bowl and cup of water under my bed so that I could wash my hands before my feet touched the floor.  If you've been to an Orthodox wedding or a rest room in Israel you've likely seen a washing cup with two handles.  What's with all the washing you say.  I say, watch your mouth and….. Wash your hands! Sefaria Source Sheet: https://www.sefaria.org/sheets/472460  Transcript on episode web page: https://madlik.com/2023/03/08/wash-your-hands/

Daily Emunah Podcast - Daily Emunah By Rabbi David Ashear

The pasuk says in Daniel, ומצדיקי הרבים ככוכבים לעולם ועד -People who work on behalf of the masses are like eternal shining stars. The Mishna in Pirkei Avot says, "People who are מזכה הרבים get extra help from Hashem in being protected from sin.” Our holy sefarim speak so highly of people who dedicate their time and efforts to helping others. In fact, the Shulhan Aruch (O.C. 93) writes, "If someone is involved in צרכי רבים, he is even exempt from tefila if it interferes." Because helping the rabbim is so valuable, the yetzer hara tries every which way to stop a person from doing it. One of the most difficult tasks is when a person invests his time l'shem shamayim to help an organization or Yeshiva, but does not see any fruit from his labor. Sometimes, he'll even get shamed or insulted in the process. One of the most difficult things to do, when working for the masses, is raising funds. And when people get rejected or insulted it leads them to want to give up. They say to themselves, "Why do I need this? I'm not accomplishing that much, anyway. And all I get is complaints and insults." That person has to know his rewards are coming from Hashem, and He appreciates every last effort that we make. We get paid for the effort, not for the results. And when the efforts are harder to make, that just means the rewards are greater. We may not see exactly what we are accomplishing, but if a person is working l'shem shamayim, his efforts will definitely at some point bear fruit. We could learn a great lesson from the following story which took place some years back. A man who we'll call Reuven said he was learning one day with his chavruta in kollel. After he finished, a handicapped man was waiting to speak to him. The man said he saw a sign that Reuven had posted asking if someone wanted to learn chavruta with a friend of his. This man said he was in the process of getting divorced after a very short marriage and was going through a very difficult time in his life. He felt stranded and was desperately looking for a chavruta. Reuven saw that this man did not have the learning skills that the people in his kollel had and knew it would be difficult to find him someone to learn with, but he took down his number and said he would get back to him. Reuven then put up another sign asking if anyone would be interested in learning with someone that needed help, and he offered to pay a large sum per hour for doing it. Somebody responded and Reuven set him up with that handicapped man. At that time, Reuven had no idea how he was going to pay for the chavruta being that he himself could not afford it. He started making phone calls to people he knew to see if they would be interested in sponsoring some of the money, but very quickly he became frustrated with the amounts that people were responding with. One incident in particular stood out, in which a friend of his gave him a $5 bill and then asked for $1 change. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. He stopped asking after that. The time quickly passed and being that the month was up, it was time for him to pay. He called the chavruta to speak about payment and find out how much he owed him. The chavruta said he felt like he was doing such a big chesed that he didn't even want to take payment for it. But being that he had one expense he needed to take care of, he told Reuven an extremely reduced price of just $320 for the entire month. Reuven went to check exactly how much he collected and saw the amount came to $321. Then, he remembered he owed his friend $1 change! The lesson he learned was; when a person works for Hashem, Hashem helps, but it may not be in the way that he expected it to come. When we are involved in community service, we're working for Hashem. Every single effort we make will get paid. And even if we don't see the results we're hoping for, we should continue putting in the efforts knowing that Hashem will take care of that as well.
