I am divorced for a few years.dont agree with you.i still think that divorce is a stigma in the frum world.over the years i have heard disgusting insensitive remarks from men and women.reached out to so many rabbanim and private people.very little support from anyone.only rabbi z.wallerstein would listen and try to help me while at the end of his life.word has it that rabbi gissinger of lakewood also cared.others have no desire to support and help.this all has been very painful for me.i am older and ill today.i look and rely just on hashem nowadays.leah from lakewood.
Resiliant! Enjoyed it! Gitta, please don't let little kids come too close to the food processor. My son stuck his hand down the chute and sliced his finger tip while helping me make the cole slaw for shabbos.
I think you should consider making this a standard practice to bring your wife on when you have female guests. Your content is impactful and reaches people worldwide. However, it's a bit odd when you have a female guest dolled up with a full face of makeup and hair done as if she's headed to her own wedding, sitting a three feet away, locking eyes and shmoozing for an hour one-on-one with each other. It's a setup that feels off and that also may present dangerous impression for how frum men and women should be interacting with each other. I would think your typical mainstream rav nowadays would not recommend this. Being honest I don't think this is a frequent issue-most of your episodes are completely kosher. But, I think you should keep this in mind moving forward and either bring your wife along or maybe introduce a female host for these episodes. Discussing personal topics like dating struggles (like you did a few episodes ago) one-on-one with women just doesn't sit right. I'm all in for the topics you cover with women; they're crucial for the women in our community and should be spoken about. I just think you should rethink how you conduct these interviews. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the well-thought out feedback. Oh we wish she'd be available all of the time. Every interview is conducted under the guidelines and umbrella of our typical mainstream Rabbanim. We don't think this public platform is the best place to have this conversation and happy to have it offline. Will try to address a few points: 1) 95% of the time there are others in the room with us (spouses of guests, Lchaim staff) or in our studio walking in and out). 2) Keep in mind this isn't a private conversation, we literally have 3 cameras and a few microphones recording everything. 3) This isn't actually a one-on-one conversation, at least that's how we look at it. It's a guest getting a platform and the host is there to represent the thousands of people at home. Lastly, keep in mind, the goal of this is to help people reach their full potential. If your Rav watches/listens and decides that this will bring you further from growing closer to Hashem - we understand and respect your decision to not watch (it'll make us sad, but our mission is to ensure everyone is following Das Torah the right way). There have been episodes that never happened or we had to stop because our Rabbanim suggested we take a different approach. And just to reiterate, we appreciate your feedback very much. Really. 🙌
@@LivingLchaim Appreciate the reply. All valid points you are making. All I can say is that it may be beneficial to also think about how it appears from the viewers perspectives. Your points are valid that there are other staff in the room, cameras watching you, etc. but the viewers are not seeing this perspective and therefore it gives off a different impression. Bottom line is since I left my comment there have been 20 thumbs up on it, so it seems that many people are sharing the same sentiment. (in contrast only 5 people left thumbs up to comments that are disagreeing me) Anyways, I didn't mean to start a big deal here. Just keep up the good work you are doing!
I really appreciate that you brought your wife on it gives a whole new dynamic to the interview I love it between RU-vid please bring her on and this stuff is amazing keep up the great work especially in this episode❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Love it has a little bit of everything it’s funny it’s entertaining but also very inspiring and I really appreciate that I also appreciate how Chani kept it so real!
