Ep. 16: From Rapper To Rabbi

In Episode 16 of Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier, Lamplighters Reporter/Producer Gary Waleik presents the story of Rabbi Motti & Rochel Flikshtein. A hug from a Chabad emissary helped Motti overcome his troubled youth. Flikshtein, a rapper, and his wife Rochel, a former Hip-Hop dance instructor, now help youths in the Wilmington, Delaware area connect with Yiddishkeit. 

Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier is producing a series of moving, beautifully produced, sound-rich and often surprising stories of Chabad Shluchim and the people they inspire in every corner of the world.
