Episode 8 - "Fundraising, Burnout, and big vision" with Rabbi Dov Yona Korn
Update: 2025-07-10
Description
In this fascinating interview, Rabbi Dov Yonah Korn—The Rebbe's Shliach to the Bowery—shares his raw journey building a $10M Chabad House, sustaining a $2.5M+ annual budget, and navigating the emotional toll of nonstop fundraising.
He talks about alumni giving, capital vs. annual asks, and the mindset shift needed to raise major gifts.
Beyond the strategy, Rabbi Korn reflects on burnout, resilience, and how the Rebbe’s teachings on Moshiach consciousness can help a Shliach stay centered, ambitious, and spiritually alive—even under intense pressure. A powerful conversation on fundraising, Emunah, and staying whole.
