I did the Possible You course with Rabbi Yom Tov Glaser back in 2008- it was fantastic. He was also my favourite teacher when I was attending classes at Aish ha Torah in Jerusalem which I first did in 2002 after doing the Discovery course. Great interview!
I am So Glad you chose R’ YomTov . His interview for Project Inspire, showing his California Surfing, before his time in Israel, was SO Inspiring & Cool!!!!
I will be watching this episode. I know some of Rabbi Glaser’s story, thanks to The COOLEST B.T. Story on a Project Inspire DVD. (Surfer Party Dude to Chasid)
Funny, I am the same way about clothes. But I am a girl, soooooo SINUA!!! As we get to that part of [your problems with the dress code of my adherence] to Torah, I sort my silk clothing for repurposing to Sinua. I hope to be able to dress in silk for the entire Sderot, Israel summer before summer comes! The Beit Knesset is only 200 meters from my apartment, still!!! I have successful withdrawn from the use of music on Shabbat. BH!
I am a fan but was disturbed by one part of this interesting talk: At 1:12:44 Rabbi is talking about not being afraid to play 'Big'. He states that we'd 'obviously' be more concerned about making an impression on a guy (who learns but) has a Fortune 500 company - ''cause he's playing BIG' - than a guy who learns in yeshiva - all day. I hope that's not really the outlook you educate your students with. Whatever your intentions, the simple meaning of your statement came through loud and clear. A statement like this creates it's stamp on everything else you say. Many good things said in this interview, but at the end of the day, what's really important..
Someone that ‘plays big’ is a true champion, a winner and that takes serious courage and bravery and that makes a lot of people uncomfortable but that’s just reality. Peace and love to everyone
He then qualifies playing big as a direction in life. Like when Charlie Harari left the business world to play big in the world of inspiring Jews. So people who play big are people who want to make a difference in some way.
I think ppl are interpreting what he said the wrong way completely! What He means. Is hashem have each of of us a huge potential and a special gift to utilize it So when he says think big I think he means every neshma is big and don’t Care so much how u look or how ppl view you. He saying that most ppl care more about a person who’s really successful /big. What they are thinking about them. Then a someone who learns Torah all day Witch he ment by saying it’s stupid and wrong. But this the yaZer hara ! Everyone is important every Jew is unique diamond. However we live in a time where everyone is trying to network and care what myb this successful person could help them so they care more about there opinion based of self interest however the yeshiva guy who learns all day. Is learning and doesn’t care as much for the physical world so the only one who would care. Myb what the yesiva guy is thinking is someone who is in that learning world and wants to connect to the Torah scholar ! And ppl should care what the other person thinks of them to a degree by trying to live by the Torah. ואהבת לרעך כמוך anything more than that unfortunately ppl start puting more emunah on ppl.

I took Essentials -- the problem is it is one sided. The critics of the contentions are never present. Their voices are not welcome. That's the problem with religious indoctrination: it's designed to omit, suppress, and distort -- no opposing "counsel." What they call a "kangaroo court," and a "show trial." I'm smart enough to see that clearly -- but kiruv is designed to try to trick you to forget that. It's the worst thing that Judaism can do: the noble lie. they say it's kindness, but really, it's just an ethics issue.
That was darn good advice your Mom gave you.Except that people need God and especially the afterlife as a crutch.Why did 1 million children die in the final solution?You shouldn't ask questions!And anyways all the "soul" go to paradise.(Btw,through the internet I have listened to the exact same speech from every religion's rep. why it is the only true one.)
Sorry but not everyone shares your opinion. Judaism forbids murdering. Killing an animal for eating (and using its hide) is not a problem in the Jewish faith. If it’s a problem for you then I respect it. But do learn to also respect others and learn the difference between murdering and animal consumption. Thanks.
Love ya Rabbi Yom Tov
כל הכבוד לרב יום טוב

Wow this is really really interesting inspiring I'm blown away
Ron Goldman was the name you were thinking of... never forget...peace 🙏🏻

"I realized what dog spells backward, and it just ran away." [Dramatic pause] -- So great! -- @34:05
Unfortunately, YomTov just had a mountain bike accident. A full & speedy recovery & safe/successful surgery🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Any update on this?
Hilary Bloch - not sure. Facebook YomTov or his brother Sam Glaser. Thanks
BH R' Yom Tov is doing much better. Chasdei Hashem!
Meaningful People - Thank You SO Much for the good update.
I found it fascinating that he didn't reject Karlin b/c they wouldn't be meshadech with his kids...
I walked in 'The Garden.'
I got Covid-18.
I was thinking of both Aquila, and Lyre, at the time.

Very good observation. Those small passing comments matter a lot, and they're also revelatory.

Yep, I felt uncomfortable too.

Are Yekke traditions really straight out of biblical Israel? I hear that about Yemenite but not Yekke.

his favorite scripture is Esther because humans sons were hung and he loves to hang Ten

Intellectual Darkweb lol. I find many similarities between Jordan Peterson and chassidus.
Way too much murdered animal hide furniture for a Jew who who does not kill!
Pretty sure it's not real (definitely didn't feel real)
Sorry but not everyone shares your opinion. Judaism forbids murdering. Killing an animal for eating (and using its hide) is not a problem in the Jewish faith. If it’s a problem for you then I respect it. But do learn to also respect others and learn the difference between murdering and animal consumption. Thanks.
