Episode Twenty One: 3rd Day Of Chanukkah, Repentance with Jack Abramoff

In this episode, Aaron “The Schmoz” Herman lights the candles for Chanukkah and then interviews Jack Abramoff and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach.
In a stunning fall from public grace, Jack Abramoff went from the halls of power and a major supporter of Jewish charities to becoming America’s most notorious lobbyist and a symbol of Washington corruption. He is now on a journey of repentance and renewal, a subject he will share with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, “America’s Rabbi” in This World’s upcoming “Renewal and Repentance — Earning Personal Redemption & Public Grace” discussion.

Episode Nineteen: 1st Day of Chanukkah, J-Care Holiday Package Delivery

In this episode, Aaron “The Schmoz” Herman attended the Shaare Zedek Medical Center Gala Event in New York City.
In celebration of Hanukkah we light the menorah together and give back to the community. We attended the Project Ezra holiday package delivery to elderly of the Lower East Side. Project Ezra is an independent, non-profit grass-roots organization serving the frail elderly on New York’s Lower East Side. We provide a variety of services to a largely homebound population. We are not a member of any Federation or umbrella organization. We do not seek or accept government funds and our existence depends on the tzedakah (justice impulse) of the community at large.

Thanks to the sacred wisdom of the Jewish […]
