Ep. 38: Growing Jewish Souls In The American Heartland

In Episode 38 of Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier, reporter/producer Gary Waleik presents the story of Rabbi Zalman and Rebbetzin Nechama Tiechtel, Chabad emissaries to The University of Kansas in Lawrence. The Tiechtels’ energy and non-judgmental approach have helped thousands of Jewish students deal with the pressures of campus life, including Charles Goldberg, a freshman rapper with a yearning for a spiritual home. 

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.
