Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin is an American Orthodox rabbi, writer, adjunct professor, and host of the ultra popular 1840 podcast.

We covered a lot of ground in this conversation. 

First off, we talk about a love of both of ours - the craft of comedy - and the 2 ways that the mechanics of humor relate to communicating Torah messages. 

After this - we move in to structure - Dovid blew me away - and I’m not exaggerating - with a 3 step method that he uses for every talk, every class, every presentation - and it’s based on the mechanics of how a magic trick works. 

This was by far one of the coolest things I had ever heard before - that he could take this esoteric idea - it actually got made into a book and a movie called ‘The Prestige’ - and he turned it into a templated structure that he now applies to everything he communicates to audiences everywhere. 

Then we move even deeper into the forest - where we discuss the audience/speaker relationship - how you must love them and respect them as co-creators in your presentation, but never use them to get your needs met.

And then, rounding up Act III of this episode - we discuss the boundaries of vulnerability in leadership - and how important is it for a rabbi or other leader to put on a strong front for his congregation vs revealing to them his own struggles for the sake of being relatable to the people he’s trying to help grow.

And lastly - Dovid shares his top 3 pieces of advice for new congregational leaders - to set them up for professional and personal success.

Rabbi Yechezkel Freundlich is Senior Rabbi of Congregation Beth Sholom, in Lawrence NY.

His career began in Chinuch, not in Rabbanus - so when he found himself having to prepare and deliver Drashos - it was something he sweated over. 

But he soon hit his stride as Associate Rabbi at Congregation Beth Jacob in Atlanta, GA - where he discovered the power of a good story to capture his congregants' attention and drive his message home.

Thus began his practice of curating relatable stories - literally wherever he could find them. 

In this delightful episode of the Maggid Method - we discuss:


How long should you speak for? 


What should be your goal with your speaking?

How to become sensitive to your speaking environment,


How Rabbi Fruendlich deals with the contention that perhaps his Drashos are not sophisticated enough as others,


What it’s like to succeed a Rabbi Emeritus who’s been with the Kehilla for many decades, 


And we even talk about Kiddush clubs and drinking in Shul - if, when, and how to address the issue.

Rabbi Dovid M. Cohen  served as a communal Rabbi for decades, at Congregation Shomrei Torah in Fair Lawn, NJ,  Young Israel of the West Side in Manhattan, and Congregation Ohr Torah in North Woodmere, NY.

But Rabbi Cohen is also a:

- lawyer,

- family counselor,

an author, speaker, podcaster, and an entrepreneur...

And he currently serves as Senior Relationship Officer at the Orthodox Union’s Yachad division.

But if there’s one thing that wearing all of these different hats has taught Rabbi Cohen, it’s the delicate art of balance.

In this enjoyable episode of the Maggid Method, Rabbi Cohen and I discuss: 


How and when to use candor in your presentations, without making your audience too uncomfortable...


How to present sides of an issue, without alienating a portion of your audience...


How to try your hardest, without getting down on yourself when you fail...

Rabbi Shaul Robinson is the Senior Rabbi at Lincoln Square Synagogue in New York City.

Rabbi Robinson is unique in the sense that he entered the rabbinate without a preconceived notion of how a pulpit rabbi should speak.

Rabbi Robinson’s career began on campus, as an outreach professional, where he transformed lives through his informal conversation.  

And that tone and style of speaking has always been the ideal for him, even nowadays when he has to deliver more formal presentations. 

In this informative episode of the Maggid Method, we talk about:

- The golden standard you should aim for any time you get up to speak...

- The need for authenticity in presentation...

- And the mindset that everything you need to speak about on a given Shabbos can be found in the Parsha. 

We also talk about the hazard of inadvertently alienating a portion of your congregation with your message - and how to avoid doing it.

Rabbi Jonathan Rosenblatt is a rabbi, teacher, lecturer, and counselor. 

He served for more than thirty years as the Senior Rabbi of the Riverdale Jewish Center in the Bronx, NY. 

Rabbi Rosenblatt comes from an illustrious line of rabbinic figures. His grandfather, Rabbi Samuel Rosenblatt, was founding rabbi of the Beth Tefiloh congregation in Baltimore, MD. 

And Rabbi Rosenblatt is the great-grandson of celebrated cantor Reb Yossele Rosenblatt, who taught him the importance of developing a range in his repertoire. 

In this masterclass episode of the Maggid Method, we discuss everything sermon related - including:


How to maximize your effectiveness as a rabbi - through the Drasha and the bedside…


How to develop an intuition for identifying great Drasha material…


The need for a rabbi to self-validate, instead of looking for external approval….


And the erroneous notion that any one Drasha needs to change lives.



And so much more!
