It takes a comedian
Meaningful People finally publishes a meaningful podcast
I know I haven’t written much lately (although unlike others, I won’t bitch about my family to explain why) but I do want to share this great podcast:
It’s been a while since I have heard a podcast that actually had anything intelligent to say, but Dovie hits it out of the park here. His take on the shidduch crisis, tuition, and TYH is refreshing. I think he is more right than I would like to admit that it is the consumers causing the issues in the system, and not the leadership.
Also, he is legitimately funny:
I have a really cool post coming up from someone non-Jewish in Jackson about the so called Jewish invasion, so subscribe!
I want to highlight what Dovie said about Authenticity and Change. The feeling that you must be authentic to your current self prevents you from changing and growing.
I also thought he was spot on with the consumer driving the tuition cost. His example of the gym is the modox version.
The yeahivish version is no one wants their child to be the class with fresh-out-of-seminary teacher. Everyone wants well trained rabbeim and as much extra services possible.
It all cost money. And I dont believe any rebbe, teacher, principal, administrator etc is getting a cushy salary.
