In our ninth episode, we interview senior shluchim and baalei teshuva Rabbi Menachem and Mrs. Chava Schmidt about how they have integrated their musical and artistic backgrounds and talents into their spiritual leadership in Philadelphia. We learn about how "the Rebbe made hasidim," changing the Anash community's perspective toward baalei teshuva and the world more broadly, and how we can remain connected and inspired post-Gimmel Tammuz by reaching out to help one another in times of need. The Schmidts then share their wisdom and experience on how baalei teshuva must remain connected to their past while raising their own families and participating in our generation's task of bringing Moshiach. Finally, we hear what it was like for the Schmidts to raise three children with special needs before the emergence of Friendship Circle and other support programs.
