    Flynn Goldstein | My Family Is Reform - I am Orthodox | Meet 16 year old Flynn Goldstein

    In this inspiring episode, we sit down with 16-year-old Flynn Goldstein, a young man whose deep connection to his Jewish heritage led him on a personal and spiritual journey from a Reform Jewish home to embracing Orthodox Judaism. Despite his family's Reform background, Flynn's commitment to his faith has grown steadily over the years, and today, he stands as an example of dedication, and respect in the face of religious differences.   Flynn shares how his passion for Judaism began at a young age, how he navigated the challenges of his evolving beliefs, and the strong support system he has from his family, including his father Doug, mother Michelle, and younger brother Charlie.    Flynn’s story is a beautiful testament to the power of family, respect, and the importance of following one's spiritual path, no matter where it leads.       Join Meaningful Minute +   https://chat.whatsapp.com/KWSjnaYDjUlDFpyyjPBpav   Thank you to our sponsors:     ►Colel Chabad Pushka App   The easiest way to give Tzedaka download the Pushka app today    https://pushka.cc/meaningful   ________________________________________ ►Town Appliance   Visit https://www.townappliance.com    Message Town Appliance on WhatsApp:    https://bit.ly/Townappliance_whatsapp __________________________________   ►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   __________________________________________   ► Dream raffle   Win a Brand-New $1,000,000 Home in Yerushalayim!

    A Day In October Part 1 | ft. Avi Kahn, Yossi Landau & Rav Shlomo Katz

    On October 7th, the world changed for many. In this special episode of the Meaningful People Podcast, we sit down with three individuals who witnessed the unthinkable on that tragic day.   Avi Kahn, an IDF soldier who fought on the front lines in Kfar Azza, shares his firsthand account of bravery, loss, and the strength required to push forward in the face of overwhelming adversity.   Yossi Landau, the southern commander of ZAKA, recounts the horrors he witnessed and the unimaginable atrocities he encountered while carrying out his sacred duty of providing dignity to the deceased.   Rav Shlomo Katz, a revered rabbi from Efrat, reflects on how he addressed his congregation during this difficult time, offering words of hope and faith on one of the holiest days of the year.   This episode is a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit and a stark reminder of the challenges faced by those who protect and uplift their communities during the darkest of times.   Stay tuned for Part 2, releasing Motzei Simchas Torah.   Thank you to Alex & Karen Publishers for helping arrange this episode.
