Sponored by: Menachem Jacobs

Sponsored in honor of Ezra Yosef ben Shmuel Gershon and Shalom Asher ben Shmuel Gershon, my nephews and probably my favorite people, unless my current shidduch works out and I am required to change my answer. (Tefillos to that effect greatly appreciated.) I think my nephews will get a kick out of hearing their names on a podcast, just as soon as they learn to talk. I also wanted to be makir tov and say a tremendous thank you to Rabbi Orlofsky. I recently left yeshiva in Chofitz Chaim and started working full time. (I don't know if Rabbi Orlofsky knows he's told this story, but that's your old stomping grounds!) The transition was difficult for me, and the show-not-a-shiur was very convenient and a great comfort while my schedule swirled chaotically. I am well on my way to becoming a full blown crazy. Please use my real name so that maybe someone will tell my brother I sponsored this in the names of his kids, and he'll offer to split the cost with me. Menachem Mendel ben Elchonon Chaim.

Feeling Donโ€™t Care About Your Facts (Ep. 332)

Feeling Donโ€™t Care About Your Facts (Ep. 332)

Sponsor (Yehoshua Sova):

I just went through ALL 326 Shiurim at double speed the past few months- GADZOOKS! Been a follower of yours since the Platinum Platonic Relationships tape. Also had to stop running/driving like Rabbis Sharfman/Krohn to prevent any collateral damage deaths due to laughter from the show. I would love to hear the Rav's take on the following: Red Flags I have seen in my life and how YOU can learn from my mistakes. For example:- The unfortunate situations of the ex son in laws- surely there were things that you saw and how we could be protected (besides the people who withheld info). Your Daughters should find their Bashert soon and enough of the pain that they are experiencing!- Psychotic teachers/adminstrators.- Dealing with "real" crazies- not the Rabbi Orlofsky ones!- What was so dark about being a Mashgiach?- Who was someone that you looked up to as a role model and had it dashed and the signs were there for you to see the entire time?The truth is I would love to host you on my TorahAnytime channel and 24/6 channel (I am also not on Naki Radio ;-)) as a podcast interview and this sponsorship ploy I am doing now was actually suggested by you! This opener of questions I always had can be part of a continued list of pressing questions I would love to ask at a later time if the Rav would like to entertain such an idea. Wishing continued Hatzlacha with all of the VERY powerful Divrei Chizuk mixed with great pop culture references and songs! Your Talmid- Rabbi Yehoshua Sova - Miami Beach

Love To Disagree (Ep. 329)

Love To Disagree (Ep. 329)

Sponsored By: YOUR LOCAL LEVY

During Sefirah, when we focus on bein adam lโ€™chaveiro, how should we relate to different sectors within Judaismโ€”not just within Orthodoxy, but more broadly? If I believe that certain groups are making serious mistakes or are fundamentally wrong in their approach, what is my obligation? On the one hand, I understand that I should view all Jews as part of Hashemโ€™s people and relate to them with a sense of unity. On the other hand, is it acceptable to distance myself and โ€œlove from afarโ€ while still disagreeing with them? Within Orthodoxy, even with differences between groups, there is generally a shared framework of avodat Hashem. My question is mainly about relating across more distinct sectors, such as Dati Leumi/Mizrachi, Charedi, and Reform. Do I have an obligation to genuinely question my own assumptions and consider that they may be serving Hashem more correctly than I am, or can I remain committed to my own mesorah while still maintaining respect and a sense of unity? thank you kvod harav!
