    Ep. 88 // "A Baal Teshuva's Eyes" w/ Reb Simcha Gottleib

    Reb Simcha Gottleib lives today in North Miami Beach where he practices Chinese medicine and works on different literary projects. Back in the 1960s he lived on a probiotic farm in Binghamton, NY where he and his friends sought refuge from the excesses of both the cultural standard bearers and the hippies that sought to tear them down. It was there that he met Reb Meir Abuhesera which would lead him and many of his friends to end up, of all places, in the Lubavitch community of Crown Heights. In this episode Simcha shares his fascinating journey and we discuss the gift of openness the chassidic newcomer has and the challenge of retaining it as time goes on. ____ Support this podcast at: https://www.hflpodcast.com/donate If you would like to sponsor an episode or advertise on the podcast please reach out to bentzi@yuvlamedia.com ____ This week's episode is brought to you by "This World Is A Garden," a new film and live concert production by Yuvla Media based on the Rebbe's first talk, Bosi Lgani.
