ABOUT THIS EPISODE In this special episode, the tables are turned: Rabbi Yerachmiel Garfield’s son Chaim sits in the interviewer’s chair once again to talk with his father about his new books. Building on the success of When They Were Young, the ArtScroll collection of stories from the childhoods of great Torah personalities, Rabbi Garfield talks about WhenThey Were Young 2, the research behind it, and why stories of gedolim as children can shape how our own children see themselves.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE Magen Yeladim Child Safety Institute is a 501(c)3 charitable organization founded in 2013 by ⁠Debbie Fox, LCSW⁠, to meet the need for culturally sensitive child abuse prevention materials in the Orthodox Jewish community in Los Angeles and around the world. Ms. Fox first developed MY Child Safety Institute’s ⁠Safety Kid child abuse prevention program⁠ in 2006 for the Aleinu Family Resource Center (Aleinu) of Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles (JFSLA) in response to a series of heinous incidents of child abuse that occurred in LA’s Orthodox Jewish community around that time. Over the years, the need for child abuse prevention education programs became increasingly apparent as not only more accounts of abuse emerged but an increasing number of Jewish communities in the United States and around the world inquired about and requested the culturally appropriate and sensitive Safety Kid programs for their communities.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE In this episode, we have the privilege of hearing from Ori Shriqui, the Team Captain, Nate Kovo, the Head of Mechanics, Ofer Bar-on, the Head of CAD (Computer Assist Design), Kenny Green, a dedicated Parent Volunteer, and Rabbi Lior Chakotai, the Menahel of AMIT Modiin High School for Boys. Together, they make up the Trigon 5990 team that competed in an international robotics competition in Houston, Texas. Despite the fierce competition, the Trigon 5990 team remained true to their values and beliefs. When the final stage of the competition fell on Shabbos, they chose not to compromise their observance of the day of rest. Instead, they wrote a letter explaining their decision and handed it to the announcer. To their surprise, students from all over the world stood up and applauded their decision. The announcer then addressed the crowd and said, "Thank you for the reminder that there are other things outside the world of robotics that are also important." This inspiring story of commitment and dedication to one's values will leave you feeling empowered and motivated to stay true to your own beliefs, no matter the circumstances.
