Inspiration for the Nation with Yaakov Langer

I love talking to people. I especially love understanding what inspires people, what their biggest failures are, which story defines them best and what their favorite mitzvah is (and a lot more questions).
 
Here's a bit more context on what this podcast is and how I'm thrilled to take interviews to the next level.
 
Let's be curious together and really get to know some of the most amazing people in the world.
 
Lchaim.

What is "Inspiration for the Nation"?

Rabbi Daniel Kalish is probably one of the most experienced Rabbis with teenagers today. He learned in Yeshiva of Far Rockaway and then at the Mir, Yerushalayim. He came back to help start Yeshiva Ateres Shmuel of Waterbury and is currently the Menahel of the Mesivta of Waterbury. Rabbi Kalish has gained acclaim for his wonderful shmoozen that awaken, inspire and encourage people to reach their potential as an Eved Hashem.
 
We discuss raising children, tapping into our true abilities, the difference in generations and Rabbi Kalish's new approach to emotional nuance.

Saul Blinkoff: The Orthodox Jew at Disney, Dreamworks & Netflix

Lipa is one of the most talented artists in the Jewish world. His brilliant lyrics and unique style led him to a quick rise to fame.
 
But Lipa was still figuring out who he was.
 
Schmeltzer's music has both gained popularity due to the fusion of traditional Chasidic music and lyrics with contemporary music styles. His performance range includes "hard-driving rock tunes, jazzy shuffles, pseudo-rap numbers, solemn prayers, klezmer dances and jokey skits, accompanied by a nine-piece band and a troupe of actors". He writes lyrics in English, Hebrew, and Yiddish.
 
Lipa has been going through a journey. After "leaving" his community and going to college, he has returned with a new look at life, his music and himself.
 
Aside for being an incredible artist he is a deeply intelligent and honest person.

Rabbi YY Jacobson: Keys to a Happy Life (LIVE Show)

Rabbi Zecharia Wallerstein ZTL was the founder of Ohr Yitzchak, Ateres Naava Seminary for Girls, and Ohr Naava Women's Institute in Brooklyn, NY.
 
Ohr Naava is a unique program designed for women ages 17 through 120 who are interested in furthering their Torah experience. The program, which was under the leadership of Rabbi Wallerstein, started out as a Wednesday evening class in a small classroom known as a "Chabura." It brought together girls who had just returned from studying in Israel, college students who needed a weekly moment of inspiration, and most of all, Jews of different backgrounds with one common goal, to grow and change.
 
The signature of Ohr Naava is to provide a multitude of programs, absolutely free of charge, for women wishing to make the time to grow, change and further their Torah knowledge.
 
While Ohr Naava’s staff is ensuring that all programming remains in place, it was Rabbi Wallerstein who fundraised its multi-million dollar budget each year. His passing leaves us with the communal responsibility to ensure that Ohr Naava remains solvent, perpetuating the legacy of a man who saw the potential in each girl, treating everyone like a daughter.

Ben Shapiro: The Orthodox Jew with a Conservative View

Rosie Heilbrun was always told her red hair was a curse, but she never believed it. She often dreamed what it would look like under a white veil with the man of her dreams by her side. However, her life takes a harrowing turn in 1944 when she is forced out of her home and sent to the most gruesome of places: Auschwitz.
 
Upon arrival, Rosie’s head is shaved and along with the loss of her beautiful hair, she loses the life she once cherished. Among the chaos and surrounded by hopelessness, Rosie realizes the only thing the Nazis cannot take away from her is the fierce redhead resilience in her spirit. When all of her friends conclude they are going to heaven from Auschwitz, she remains determined to get home. She summons all of her courage, through death camps and death marches to do just that.
 
Her granddaughter, Nechama Birnbaum knew the world needed to know her grandmother's story. Her book "The Redhead of Auschwitz" is about the intricacies of Jewish culture that still exist today and the tender experiences that are universal to all humanity: family, coming of age, and first love. It is a story that celebrates believing in yourself no matter the odds. This is a story about the little redheaded girl who thought she could, and so she did.
 
Unfortunately, shortly after this interview, Rosie passed away. It is with great sadness but also honor, that we have the opportunity to release an interview with her to help perpetuate her legacy.
