  • For the mind and the heart

    Honest, engaging, and no punches pulled. Bentzi interviews an incredibly wide range of Lubavitchers and asks hard questions while also being incredibly respectful of what the Rebbe, chassidus, shlichus, Gimmel Tamuz, and the future of Lubavitch means. The only podcast that I feel is for “us.”
