If you had to sum up an Ishmas in one
emoji, what would it be?
>> [clears throat]
>> All right, we're here today with Rabbi
Weinberger, the one and the only, the
CEO of Nishmas HaTorah, the one who
started it all, the man behind the
I think a very standard interview
question would be, you know, walk us
through a typical day in Yeshiva.
We don't really care about that. Give us
an atypical day. What's the craziest
thing that could happen here?
Every day.
Every day is a crazy day. All right.
>> I think I think ultimately when you when
you walk in with your prepared script,
that's not ever was for today's for
good, but it definitely not doesn't work
for today. And you just put your neshama
out there.
It talks to other neshamas. I love it. I
love it. Yeah, we don't like prepared
scripts. That's 100% true.
Um I just wanted to ask you a question.
Um what is special about Nishmas
HaTorah?
Is that an emphasis on the ha? Help a
bachur have so much potential. They are
here really truly to become real benei
Torah. Let's do a shot of the guys
learning in the Beis Medrash now.
We're here with Rabbi Fink. Rabbi Fink.
Rabbi Fink, what would you say is the
secret to your success and [music] what
makes you, as the other rabbaim have
told me, the best rabbi in Yeshiva? Wow.
Um I appreciate the A little honey for
us.
>> [music]
>> I think it's just really really caring
about each bachur. Loving them for who
they are.
>> Let's let's not do AI generated answers.
Let's do real answers here. That's real.
If you just say it,
then it doesn't mean [music] anything,
but if you feel it, then it does
something. Do you ever see like let's
say a ninth grader comes in and you're
like, I hope he doesn't last till my
shiur.
Only if the guy's like a real nerd. We
don't judge any other person. We don't
know what someone else is going through.
So, if you
>> What if you know he's not going through
anything? Like you know he's good. He's
just annoying. You don't know. Each
person comes along [music] with their
set of challenges and you appreciate
them for who they are. And I love a boy
who's an underdog who maybe in another
Yeshiva wouldn't have been accepted and
we could go ahead and build him and make
him great. I [music] I I love that. So,
we're here with Rabbi Olanski whose
official title is
Nosi You know, I'm joking. Menahel.
Menahel. If you had to sum up an Ishmas
in one emoji, what would it be?
Your face, you know, the covering the
face one. I don't know which one that
is. Monkey covering the face. All right.
What would it take for a boy to be
kicked [music] out of this place?
Cholov stam. Oh, cholov stam is the Is
that a good thing or a bad thing?
>> the kicker.
Yeah. Yeah, if you eat cholov stam,
you're out. All right, we're here with
Rabbi Fogel whose official title is the
Mashgiach. In my days, it was a lot of
yelling. Is there any of that? Right, so
that's not my job. What I like to do,
what I feel my position in the Yeshiva
is to build the boys up and to let them
know what they're all about, you know,
their strengths and their possibilities
and how amazing they are. That's
actually my job. It's a great job.
What's the worst thing you ever caught a
boy doing? Wow.
