  • The Best!

    I really enjoy listening to this podcast because it makes me familiar with all of the shluchim around the world. It’s very interesting to hear about different countries and their shluchim and even in America, there are cool stories. Thank you for making this wonderful podcast!

  • Summer camps

    Dear Gary,

    What a special podcast!

    I’ve been listening for a while now, and the stories told here leave me uplifted.

    I’d like to suggest you produce an episode dedicated to Gan Israel camps worldwide. As the summer season begins, and many children go off to camp, telling the stories of the lasting positive impact going to a Chabad run Jewish camp has, would be a great topic to discuss.
