    It Almost Went Wrong…" From last Minute Backup - to Center Stage | Chaim Brown - ShmueliCast Ep. 64

    This week we sat down for a real uplifting, high-energy episode with Chaim Brown — well-known actor and singer — for an open, honest conversation about his journey on both the music and acting side.We spoke about how his singing started back in his teenage years in Yeshiva, and how music became one of his first ways to express emotion and connect to people.From there we got into his acting career — what makes someone a great actor, what it really means to step into a role, and why he believes real acting isn’t about acting at all… it’s about vulnerability. Being able to open yourself up and give something real.He shared a wild story about how he once came into a production as a last-minute backup after an actor dropped out — with barely any time to prepare — and how that unexpected situation ended up turning into him becoming the main actor on stage.We also spoke about the emotional contrast between singing at heartwarming chuppahs and performing in deep acting scenes — and why acting is the place where he feels he gives the most of himself emotionally.A real, down-to-earth conversation about talent, opportunity, and how sometimes the moments you didn’t plan… end up putting you exactly where you’re meant to be."And as always feel free to share your feedback, we’d love to hear your thoughts and comments.

    ShmueliCast Ep. 62: Is Jewish Music Entering a New Era? | Tzvi Blumenfeld

    "In this week’s episode, we sit down for a natural, open conversation with Tzvi Blumenfeld — a legend in the heimish music industry and one of the most respected bandleaders in Jewish music. As the leader of Freilich, Tzvi has played a major role in shaping the sound of weddings and large-scale Jewish events.We cover a wide range of topics, including the major shift we’ve seen over the last few years in Jewish music — moving from long, complex, and heavily arranged tracks to shorter, lighter, and more accessible songs, often built around clear messages that people connect to. Tzvi shares his perspective on why this shift is happening and where he sees Jewish music heading. He also breaks down the real process of preparing a full music band for weddings and major events, shares practical tips for beginners entering the industry, and explains the key differences between Chassidish and Litvish weddings.Along the way, we get into the behind-the-scenes realities and some of the lesser-known secrets of the industry — from working with different types of musicians and singers to what really happens offstage. Tzvi also shares interesting stories from his career and explains how he handles situations when things go wrong, both live and in production.""And as always feel free to share your feedback💌, we’d love to hear your thoughts and comments.

    ShmueliCast Ep. 61: Is Therapy an endless Cycle? Mind behind the Heart | Dr. Yossi Twersky

    This week on ShmueliCast🎙️, we sit down with Dr. Yossi Twersky — psychiatrist and mental health expert — for a calm, grounded conversation about mental health, therapy, and how people actually deal with inner struggles today.We speak honestly about the growing focus on mental health and the doubts many people have about whether today’s approaches truly address real human needs. We discuss how previous generations handled emotional challenges without the systems and language used today, and what has shifted in the way people understand themselves and their struggles.Dr. Twersky also shares about his upbringing as a Rebbishe Einikel, and how that background shaped his perspective on life, responsibility, and emotional strength. From there, we explore why so many people today struggle internally, what may have contributed to this shift, and how trauma has shaped the Jewish experience across generations.We also speak openly about trauma — where it comes from, how it affects a person long-term, and whether someone can truly heal or only learn how to live with it. The conversation touches on the rise in suicide, why this has become more present in modern times, and what may be missing in how people are taught to face life’s difficulties."And as always feel free to share your feedback💌, we’d love to hear your thoughts and comments.

    "In this week's episode we sit down with Chaim Ekstein, who brings over 25 years of experience in the financial world.We discuss the human challenges people face, why so many stay stuck in the same habits, how the comfort zone holds them back, and what it takes to start moving toward the kind of life they actually want to live.From there, we talk about whether an employee can be successful in our community, what that looks like in real life, and how it compares to building a business or choosing a more independent path.We also cover Chaim’s new financial course, the ideas behind it, and the common reasons people struggle to take control of their finances.Another part of the conversation focuses on investing — including Bitcoin vs. the S&P 500 — and how to think about long-term planning, risk, and practical financial growth.Overall, it’s a grounded discussion about money, direction, and the everyday obstacles that shape how people grow and make progress.""And as always feel free to share your feedback, we’d love to hear your thoughts and comments.
