They Built a Shul With No Rabbi. Ohr Shlomo Changed Our Lives

In this episode of None Of Your Business, Michael sits down with the founders of Ohr Shlomo for a raw and deeply honest conversation about spirituality, growth, and what it really means to build a community that changes lives. What started as a small Carlebach style minyan has evolved into something much bigger, a movement centered around music, connection, and personal transformation. The guys share how Ohr Shlomo came to life, the challenges of building a shul without a traditional structure, and why creating leaders, not followers, became the mission. The conversation goes far beyond the origin story. They dive into the power of davening through music, how Shabbos can transform your entire week, and what it looks like to grow spiritually while balancing real life, work, and responsibility. There is also an honest discussion about anger, ego, jealousy, and self awareness, and how shifting your mindset can completely change how you experience life. They also explore concepts like Hisbodedus , personal prayer and meditation, building a relationship with Hashem, and why talking to God in your own words might be one of the most powerful tools a person has. What makes Ohr Shlomo different is simple but rare. It is not built around one leader. It is built around people growing together, supporting each other, and creating something real that extends beyond the walls of a shul and into everyday life. This episode is about more than a place. It is about a mindset, a way of living, and a reminder that growth, connection, and meaning are available to anyone willing to look deeper. 00:00 Intro and meeting the Ohr Shlomo founders 01:53 Why Ohr Shlomo changed my life 06:30 How it all started 10:45 Why this minyan feels different 14:20 Personal journeys and finding spirituality 18:00 Building a community from scratch 23:00 No rabbi, creating leaders 26:00 Work, business, and staying grounded 30:00 What sparks real change 33:30 Anger, mindset, and growth 41:00 Hisbodedus and connecting to Hashem 48:30 Parenting and raising the next generation 01:00:15 Work ethic, career paths, and life direction 01:10:00 Turning passion into business 01:20:00 Success, purpose, and balance 01:30:00 Community, identity, and belonging 01:49:10 Honoring legacy and Neshama Carlebach 01:53:15 Final thoughts and future conversations 01:59:00 Closing The None of Your Business Podcast The Nations #___ Podcast Join us for unfiltered conversations, candid interviews, and honest takes on the topics no one else is talking about.
