Is Torah Not Enough Anymore? | Rav Nissan Kaplan | Behind the Bima #198

Description

Is access to Torah enough to change a person? On this episode of Behind the Bima, Rav Nissan Kaplan joins Rabbi Goldberg to discuss why access to Torah isn’t enough to help a student grow. In a generation where information is everywhere, the challenge isn’t learning… it’s becoming. Rav Kaplan lays out what actually makes the difference: consistency, structure, and a real relationship with a Rebbi. He also shares how he builds talmidim, what he looks for in students, and how to think about growth in a world that pushes for instant results. Rav Kaplan speaks as well about loss, tefillah, and how to move forward when life doesn’t go as planned… with a perspective that is both honest and deeply grounded. This season of Behind the Bima is sponsored by Julie Charlestein & Darryl Benjamin in honor of their grandparents, Morton & Malvina Charlestein, and their children, Ruby and Maccabi Benjamin. 🆕 New episodes release Tuesdays at 6:00 AM EST 🔔 Subscribe to @rabbiefremgoldberg you never miss an episode of Behind the Bima === CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Intro 0:25 - Banter 9:37 - Rav Nissan Kaplan Interview === Also available on Apple and Spotify: 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/behind-the-bima/id1513477929 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0hhhCkfDDy9ppIOnASBvjQ
