Do You Really Want the Truth? How to Find the Right Rebbe

Aug 10, 2026

49:27

What does it really mean to have a Rebbe? In this episode of Dialing Bnei Brak, Charlie Harary and Rabbi Moshe Levi explore why finding the right spiritual guidance starts with something much harder: being honest with yourself. They discuss how our biases and desires can shape the questions we ask, why a Rebbe isn’t there to simply validate the decisions we’ve already made, and how humility, respect, and a genuine desire for ratzon Hashem can bring greater clarity and siyata d’Shmaya into our lives.

Jul 30, 2026

What does it really mean to love Hashem? In this episode of Dialing Bnei Brak, Charlie Harary and Rabbi Moshe Levi explore a powerful idea: the truest measure of Ahavas Hashem is how deeply you care about another Jew's success. Through stories, Torah sources, and practical examples, they discuss why real love means helping others reach their full potential, overcoming jealousy, and sharing the good Hashem has given you. They also reveal how this perspective can transform the way we approach teshuvah, Elul, and our relationships with the people around us.

The Tiny Mitzvah That Brings the Geulah

Jul 21, 2026

26:24

Something as simple as saying, 'I heard this from...' doesn't seem like it could change the world. Yet Chazal teach that one who quotes a teaching in the name of the person who said it brings redemption to the world. Why? In this episode, Charlie Harary sits down with Rabbi Moshe Levi to uncover one of the most overlooked ideas in Torah. Together they explore why the Gemara is so meticulous about preserving names, how Torah is passed through an unbroken chain from Moshe Rabbeinu, and why humility is the key that allows the light of Torah to flow into the world. They discuss: Why the Gemara constantly records who said every teaching. How quoting someone by name strengthens the chain of Mesorah. What Chazal mean when they say a person's lips continue moving in the grave. Why giving credit is about far more than good manners. How this simple practice brings more Shechinah into the world. What Moshe Rabbeinu teaches us about humility and receiving Torah. How to know whether the Torah you're hearing is truly part of the Mesorah. A practical way every Jew can help bring the Geulah closer. Sometimes the smallest mitzvos carry the greatest spiritual weight. This conversation will change the way you learn Torah, share Torah, and think about the responsibility of passing it on faithfully.  This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.

The Real Reason We're Still in Galus

Jul 15, 2026

17:47

As Tisha B'Av approaches, Rabbi Moshe Levi shares a powerful perspective on the connection between the sin of the Meraglim, sinas chinam, and the path to Geulah. Charlie and Rabbi Levi explore a surprising idea: perhaps emunah doesn't create great middos—perhaps great middos create real emunah. The conversation explains why jealousy, arrogance, and self-centeredness leave less room for the Shechinah, while humility, kindness, and genuine concern for others allow Hashem's presence to fill our lives. Through practical examples—from honoring parents to overcoming envy—the episode reveals how everyday character development becomes the foundation for deeper faith. Rather than waiting for Geulah to arrive, Rabbi Levi challenges each of us to bring more Shechinah into our own lives by becoming just one percent better every day. In this episode: Why the Meraglim and sinas chinam share the same spiritual root The surprising relationship between middos and emunah How gaavah pushes the Shechinah out of our lives Why loving Hashem begins with loving His children The deeper meaning of Tisha B'Av and the Nine Days Practical ways to increase middos and strengthen your connection with Hashem How personal growth brings the world one step closer to Geulah If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone preparing for Tisha B'Av.

How to Measure Your Real Potential

Jul 10, 2026

40:25

Fear of People as a Tool for Fear of Heaven: Rabbi Levi on Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai's Final Blessing Charlie Harary dials Rabbi Moshe Levi to explore one of the most surprising teachings in the Gemara: Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai's final blessing to his students—'May your fear of Heaven be like your fear of people.' Rather than lowering the standard of fearing Hashem, Rabbi Levi reveals that this blessing provides a practical blueprint for spiritual growth. The discussion challenges listeners to look honestly at their own lives. The discipline they show for work, the sacrifices they make for success, the patience they display in public, and the effort they invest to earn the approval of others all reveal a deeper truth: they are already capable of far more than they often believe. Those moments become evidence of what they can achieve in their Avodas Hashem. Rabbi Levi explains why honest self-inspection is one of the greatest tools for growth, why accepting that we're 'not there yet' is a source of strength rather than shame, and why a true Rav challenges us instead of simply making us feel good. The conversation also reframes the yetzer hara, personal weaknesses, and even spiritual struggles as opportunities to uncover the potential Hashem has already placed within us.

Fake It Until You Become It

Jul 7, 2026

17:47

Growth doesn't always begin with inspiration. Sometimes it begins with action. During the Three Weeks, we're given a unique opportunity to become closer to Hashem—but many of us feel stuck. We want to grow, yet our emotions don't always cooperate. In this episode, Charlie shares a powerful teaching from the Ramchal and Rabbi Levi about the Torah's version of 'fake it until you make it.' When your actions move before your feelings, you're not being a hypocrite—you’re building the person you want to become. Discover: Why 'fake it until you make it' is rooted in Torah The difference between pretending for people and changing for Hashem How outward actions reshape your inner world Why humility—not perfection—is the key to spiritual growth A practical mindset to help you grow during the Three Weeks and beyond You don't have to wait until you feel ready.

The Thing Destroying Your Relationship With Hashem (And How to Overcome It)

Jul 2, 2026

18:46

The Three Weeks are often associated with mourning the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash and the dangers of sinat chinam (baseless hatred). But what if both the story of the spies and the destruction of the Temple point to something even deeper? In this episode, Charlie Harary explores a powerful teaching from Rabbi Levi that identifies gaavah (ego) as the root beneath both our fractured relationships with other people and our distance from Hashem. Rather than viewing arrogance as something obvious or extreme, this conversation uncovers the subtle ways self-focus shapes our decisions, our emotions, and our spiritual growth. Through the examples of the Meraglim, Shaul HaMelech, and the practices of Tisha B'Av, you'll discover why the Three Weeks may be the greatest opportunity of the year for lasting personal transformation. In This Episode Why the stories of the Meraglim and sinat chinam share the same root A deeper definition of gaavah beyond pride or arrogance What Shaul HaMelech teaches about the hidden nature of ego Why Tisha B'Av is designed to cultivate humility How self-focus impacts our relationships with Hashem and other people Why gaavah is considered the source of every negative middah Practical ways to begin identifying ego in everyday life during the Three Weeks This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.

Dialing Bnei Brak: The One Night That Changes the Entire Year

May 19, 2026

27:29

What is Shavuot really about? In this episode, Charlie Harary shares a powerful conversation with Rabbi Levy in Bnei Brak exploring why Leil Shavuot may be the most important night of the year. More than just learning Torah, Shavuot is about devekus, becoming attached to Hashem through Torah. The episode dives into why Shavuot is considered the “Rosh Hashanah” for Torah, how Torah impacts every area of life, and why effort and preparation matter more than perfection. Topics include:• Torah as connection, not just information• How Shavuot affects parnassah, shidduchim, refuah, and spiritual growth• The deeper meaning behind staying up all night• Why preparation itself creates connection• Practical guidance for men, women, and families This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.

Dialing Bnei Brak: Why We Feel More Insecure Than Ever

May 8, 2026

15:43

In a generation with more comfort, opportunity, wealth, and connection than ever before, why do so many people still feel insecure? This episode explores a surprising and deeply uncomfortable idea: insecurity may not actually be the opposite of gaavah. It may be a subtle form of it. Drawing from a conversation with Rabbi Levi in Bnei Brak, we unpack the difference between old school gaavah, the loud arrogance we all recognize, and the quieter version many of us struggle with today: building our identity around external validation. Careers. Status. Money. Appearance. Intelligence. Even ruchnius. Using the mashal of Jenga blocks, the episode explores what happens when we slowly replace our true identity, our neshama and connection to Hashem, with the fragile “paper towels” of social approval and comparison. Topics discussed include:• Why modern life can increase insecurity• The connection between self esteem and gaavah• How society teaches us to measure ourselves externally• The difference between purpose and identity• Why comparison quietly disconnects us from Hashem• Recognizing subtle forms of gaavah during Sefirat HaOmer• Rebuilding identity around the soul instead of validation This is not an episode about feeling smaller.It’s about remembering how much bigger we really are.

The period between Pesach and Shavuos is a workshop for the soul. Hashem gives us a 'magnifying glass' during the Omer: a rare window to see the inner midos driving our everyday choices, reactions, and patterns.
