Street Farbrengen Episode 99- Fighting “isms” is obsolete - the real war is honesty
What do you do when the farbrengen glow wears off and it’s just you… and your phone?
In this week’s Street Farbrengen, we start from a Yud Kislev fabrengen and ask a very uncomfortable question: Is there even such a thing as “inspiration” in our generation anymore — and if yes, where is it supposed to come from? We push back on the quiet assumption that the Rebbe, the mashpia, or the “fire in the room” is meant to carry us, and instead talk about becoming self-inspired: a Yid whose sense of “I am a chelek Eloka mimaal mamash” is a lived identity, not just a quote from Tanya.
We admit that people struggle with phones, porn, addictions, and lots of trauma-talk. We see it more why fighting “isms” isn’t our main battle anymore. The real war, we argue, is inside: reclaiming agency, honesty, and a stable core of self that doesn’t rise and fall with circumstances.
If you’ve ever walked out of a powerful fabrengen and thought, “So why am I still the same guy on Tuesday morning?”— join us
