Rabbi Avram Mlotek works as a rabbi for Project Ruth which strives to make halachic conversions more accessible for folks. He created a play with his father which featured Yiddish songs written and performed during the Shoah; they recently won the 2024 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revue. They are now adapting it for concerts and TV. He had a recent book published, a children's book called Butterfly, with illustrations by Annita Soble, which tells the story of a kid who tries to outsmart the rebbe who can supposedly answer any question in the world.He has BH a couple of books coming out this year. One is a playful intro to Yiddish alphabet with New Yorker style cartoons and the other is a volume on Rebbe Nachman and mental health. There are a lot of references in this podcast - like Lesson 8 in Likutei Moharan where Rebbe Nachman writes about how much Hashem values the sighs of a Jewish person. And in Lesson 5 of the same book, Rebbe Nachman describes how each of us is responsible for the entire world. There's plenty of good Yiddish, well explained. Enjoy.
