I had the honour of hosting Rabbi Yitzchak Kay and Rabbi Moshe Cohen for the latest episode of the Shmüel Podcast.We explored the meaning of Moshiach—a central topic in Yiddishkeit, and one that holds particular prominence in Lubavitch Chassidus.Rabbi Kay is a chaplain in several hospitals here in Manchester and has been a very influential figure in my life over the past few years, as we’ve learned Tanya and Chassidus together.I learnt a lot from this conversation, and I hope you will too. May it deepen your connection to, and yearning for, Moshiach.Enjoy!Shmuel Bollag

I had the great privilege of hosting Harav Yitzhok Avigdor Stern, a deeply respected and beloved figure in our kehilla. As Rosh Yeshiva of כתר התלמיד, I was eager to explore how he creates such a warm and uplifting environment.I hope you enjoy. Shmuel Bollag
