<![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">In this riveting episode, Rabbi Joey Haber sits down with Nachi Gordon for an unfiltered, thought-provoking conversation that tackles some of the most pressing—and often taboo—questions in the Jewish world today.</p> <p dir="ltr">What does it really mean to live a Torah life in a world obsessed with status? How can we tell the difference between true mitzvah and materialism? Are we setting up our youth for failure by defining success through narrow expectations—like the 3-to-5-year Kollel rule?</p> <p dir="ltr">From the Syrian and Ashkenazi community dynamics to financial pressures, lavish weddings, and the emotional toll of the shidduch process, Rabbi Haber addresses it all—with clarity, humility, and refreshing honesty.</p> <p dir="ltr">This is more than a conversation—it's a mirror for our values and a wake-up call for our assumptions.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">This episode was made possible thanks to our sponsors:</p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> ►Blooms Kosher</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Bring you the best Kosher products worldwide.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">https://bloomskosher.com</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr"> ____________________________________________________</p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /></p> <p dir="ltr">► PZ Deals -
