Coach Chaim Cohen | A Miracle On The Football Field Led Me To God

In this episode, we sit down with Chaim Cohen, who shares his powerful journey from a secular upbringing to embracing Orthodox Judaism. Chaim recounts his early life in a non-Jewish neighborhood in Sharon, Massachusetts, where football became an outlet for his anger and a shield against bullying. Despite his bar mitzvah, he felt disconnected from his Jewish identity, viewing it as a burden rather than a blessing.   Chaim’s life took a dramatic turn when a seemingly ordinary football game triggered a deep reflection on his Jewish roots. His story is a testament to the transformative power of faith, as he describes the moment that propelled him to rediscover his heritage, don tefillin, and ultimately, dedicate his life to Torah study. This conversation delves into the struggles and triumphs of finding one's spiritual path and the impact of perseverance and commitment to personal growth.   Join Meaningful Minute + for exclusive content + more! https://chat.whatsapp.com/KWSjnaYDjUlDFpyyjPBpav     ►Skive   Customized Software Without The Custom Price Tag   Skive works with a variety of tools, including ClickUp, Monday.com, Smartsuite, Airtable, DocuSign, Pipedrive and more!   Book a call with Zalman here https://calendly.com/zalman-skive/30min   Reach out to Skive at info@skive.co   Join the Skive Exploring Software Tools What's App chat here    https://chat.whatsapp.com/D4L1UdOmanZFq7mOdPVmwx   ________________________________________   ►Colel Chabad Pushka App   The easiest way to give Tzedaka download the Pushka app today    https://pushka.cc/meaningful ___________________________________   ►Toveedo   The Jewish videos your kids will love all in one happy place!    Stream unlimited videos on your phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, and smart TV.    From new releases, to your favorite classics, and exclusive originals, there’s always something new to discover.   Use MM10 for 10% off     See our full library on https://toveedo.com ____________________________________________   ►Nishmat, The Jeanie SchottensteinCenter for Advanced Torah Study   New Classes Start Srptember 8th!   For full class and registration, go to    https://2ly.link/1zLOz ____________________________________________________     ►Town Appliance    Visit https://www.townappliance.com   Message Town Appliance on WhatsApp: https://bit.ly/Townappliance_whatsapp ____________________________________________________   ►🚘 Win the Tesla of your choice or $50K in the Tesla Raffle!       Limited Time: Save BIG on raffle tickets with code MPP       $25 off 2 Tickets       $500 off 15 tickets       https://ccraffle.com       Code- MPP   _____________________________________________ ►ILS Title   Infinity Title: Titles without stories.   When your real estate transaction is protected through Infinity, you get meticulous coverage, clear communication, and zero drama—title after title after title.   Visit https://Ilstitle.com   _________________________________________________ Subscribe to our Podcast    Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2WALuE2        Spotify: https://spoti.fi/39bNGnO        Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/MPPGooglePodcasts        Or wherever Podcasts are available!       Editor: Sruly Saftlas

How The Lubavitcher Rebbe Changed The World | ft. R' YY Jacobson, Rav Judah Mischel & R' Yussie Zakutinsky

We sat down with R’ Yussie Zakutinsky, Rav Judah Mischel and R’ YY Jacobson to discuss how the Lubavitcher Rebbe changed their lives and the world around them.   🔷 Did you know the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s Chiddushim and Divrei Torah fill over 200 published volumes?   Marking the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s 30th yahrzeit, many prominent Rabbonim are joining a campaign to encourage the study of the Rebbe’s Divrei Torah, but where does one begin? Click here to learn more.    Sie.org/ls   ****** The premier publisher of Chassidus Chabad in English, Sichos In English was founded in 5738 (1978) to accommodate the growing demand for English translation of the Rebbe’s frequent talks. The Rebbe welcomed this initiative and guided the translation process, at times personally editing entire talks or essays directly for the SIE publication.   Its immediate success saw it become a publisher of many classic texts of Chabad Chassidus that were otherwise out of reach from the English-speaking public. Beyond translating the language, its library of hundreds of titles provides elucidation and context, making them a go-to for anyone wishing to experience the world of Chassidus.   SIE’s mission is to present the teachings of the Chabad Rebbeim to the broadest spectrum of English readers, sharing the insights of these chassidic masters as they communicated them, without being filtered through other thought structures. Spreading the wellsprings of Chassidus outward to the furthest peripheries, both geographic and in mindset, we hope to usher in the time when “the world will be filled with the knowledge of G-d.”   Https://SIE.org/LS
