Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Auschwitz Holocaust Survivor Tova Friedman (Part 1)
Q: How did you survive being so young through the ghetto and early camps?
Survival came from being hidden, strict parental guidance, and learning to read danger through sounds, movements, and routines, along with the luck of being overlooked at crucial moments.
Auschwitz Holocaust Survivor Tova Friedman (Part 2)
Q: Tell me about the day you were taken to a gas chamber, but what happened?
Before the end, after a long walk and the shock of leaving the camp, there were moments of chaos and fear, but I would tell this through the memory of being hidden beneath a blankets and the mother who helped me survive, aiming to protect me from the worst, and to see another day.
How Jewish Wisdom Shaped America's DNA with Ari Lamm
Q: How did Jewish learning influence the founding era and American education?

The Lubavitcher Rebbe’s Radical Approach to Mental Health | Levi Shmotkin
Q: How does the book translate the Rebbe's letters into actionable guidance for modern readers?

The Lubavitcher Rebbe’s Radical Approach to Mental Health | Levi Shmotkin
Q: What is the core message of the Rebbe's approach to mental health, in a sentence or two?
