Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Year-End Fundraising Special: How to Finish the Year Strong with Shmuli Rothman
Q: How do I navigate the conversation with someone who pledged at the end of last year but still has not given?
Rothman says to consider the donor's history of honoring pledges. For a first-time or overdue pledge, thank them, explain that the organization is reviewing open pledges, and ask what they expect to do. If they cannot pay, request that they get in touch when able, and do not count the pledge as available cash.
Year-End Fundraising Special: How to Finish the Year Strong with Shmuli Rothman
Q: How do I approach a donor who already gave earlier this year? Should I be approaching him about year-end giving? If so, how?
Rothman suggests thanking the donor for the earlier gift, explaining the year-end effort, and asking whether they would welcome a conversation about giving again. That lets the donor share their preference without pressure and gives the fundraiser clarity.
Ep. 33 Be a Lighthouse, Not a Tugboat - With Rabbi Yossi Grossbaum
Q: If someone declines a fundraising request, how should a shliach respond?
Grossbaum says to stay, continue the conversation, and show interest in the person beyond their ability to donate. A no may reflect timing or existing commitments, and the relationship can continue with the possibility of future support.
Ep. 33 Be a Lighthouse, Not a Tugboat - With Rabbi Yossi Grossbaum
Q: What should shluchim do when they first move to a community, and what programs should they focus on?
Grossbaum recommends spending the first year getting to know people and their interests rather than immediately organizing programs. Listening and learning what suits the community helps build trust and makes later activities more effective.
Ep. 29 What Are We Here For? With Rabbi Chaim Shaul Bruk
Q: How do you balance leadership with family life and ensure you're not overwhelmed by the demands?
By setting boundaries, protecting family time (like daily dinners), delegating to trusted colleagues, and recognizing that growth comes from inner work as much as outward outreach.
