Riding for Chesed With Uri Kirschner

Michael and Ushy sit down with real estate attorney and community trailblazer Uri Kirschner to uncover the stories behind the suit. From 30 years in law to launching grassroots chesed projects, Uri has mastered the art of doing good—quietly, but with massive impact. Uri shares the story of how a simple conversation sparked the now-famous 100 Ride, a cycling fundraiser that has raised hundreds of thousands for local families in need. He also opens up about his roots in Washington Heights, the rich traditions of the Yekke community, and why carrying on that legacy through chesed, humility, and action is what truly matters. From wild real estate closings (including one while hooked to an IV!) to running boutique second-hand clothing shops out of his home, Uri's life is packed with meaning, motion, and mitzvos. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll probably want to do more good after listening. 00:00 Opening Debate: Taking Sides 00:21 Podcast Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:53 Getting to Know Uri Kirschner 01:15 Yekke Community and Traditions 16:18 Uri's Professional Background 31:48 The Hundred Ride: Origin and Purpose 35:29 Inclusive Sports for Girls 35:52 The Hundred Ride: A Community Effort 36:50 Challenges and Successes of The Hundred Ride 38:13 The Briss Rabbi and Other Riders 38:45 Biking Events and Personal Stories 42:51 The Importance of Chesed and Tzedakah 44:58 Involvement in Hatzalah and Other Organizations 48:23 The Cemetery Business 54:32 Per Yechiel: Repurposing Tefillin 01:02:22 Encouraging Skills and Careers 01:07:57 Final Thoughts and Reflections To donate or learn more about the 100 Ride, please visit: https://www.the100ride.com Sponsored by GEM Enrollments Personalized, employee benefits enrollment solutions tailored to your business and employees - all at no cost!
