Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 14 - No Guts, No Glory: Rabbi Chaim Hanoka on Rejection, Resilience, and Showing up for each other.
Q: Has your approach to fundraising evolved over the years?
He explains that there is no one-size-fits-all method; personal style and relationships matter more than any single system, and he emphasizes the importance of making 'kalim' (opportunities) for Abishter to work through and the value of coaching and mentorship.
Episode 14 - No Guts, No Glory: Rabbi Chaim Hanoka on Rejection, Resilience, and Showing up for each other.
Q: To start, can you bring us into your world? What does Chabad of Pasadena look like today?
Chaim describes Pasadena as a growing center with multiple outreach opportunities, including Hebrew school, camp, and a mikveh project; the community evolved from a storefront to a full-fledged building with a focus on family involvement and sustainable fundraising.
Episode 7 - "Following Hashem into the desert" with Rabbi Dovie Shapiro
Q: What were the early years like financially, and how did you survive in a small town?
The early years were challenging; the family relied on around $60,000 raised from friends and family to cover basics, and over time local giving grew to roughly 75-80% of funds, with outside support remaining important. The key was steady relationship-building and learning when to ask for money.
Episode 11 - "Straightforward Fundraising & The Rebbe’s Vision" — with Rabbi Sholom Duchman
Q: What role does the Rebbe's guidance play in fundraising decisions?
The Rebbe guided almost every step; his feedback was meticulous, and being aligned with his vision—through bemedis and practical steps—shapes how we operate and persuade donors.
Episode 11 - "Straightforward Fundraising & The Rebbe’s Vision" — with Rabbi Sholom Duchman
Q: How do you approach donors and structure your pitch to maximize engagement?
I present three projects on the table, be very direct about the opportunity, and convey a clear vision; if someone says no, it's not a failure but a response to be learned from and moved past.
