Welcome to Spiritual Gangsters!
In this new eight part series, our host, Menachem Poznanski, sits down with eight different mental health professionals and rabbi's, and asks each of them the same set of eight questions.
Today's guest is Yaakov Klein
R’ Yaakov Klein is an author, musician, and educator devoted to sharing the inner light of Torah through his books, music, video content, and lectures. R’ Yaakov is the author of “Sparks from Berditchov” and “Sunlight of Redemption” (Feldheim). His essays and poems have been featured in print in a variety of Jewish publications including Aish Uk’s Perspectives, The Jewish Home, and Mishpacha Magazine as well as online at Chabad.org, Breslov.org, and Times of Israel. R’ Yaakov writes a weekly Torah publication, “Thank You Hashem for Shabbos Kodesh!” which is widely distributed both in print and online. His popular classes in a wide range of Chassidic and classical Jewish thought, which are housed on Soundcloud.com as well as by YUTorah.org, have been played tens of thousands of times by Jews across the globe who appreciate the depth, beauty, optimism, and relevance of the material as well as R’ Yaakov’s honest and engaging style. R’ Yaakov’s highly anticipated third book, “The Story of Our Lives”, an in-depth elucidation of Rebbe Nachman’s famous tale, The Lost Princess, will be in stores over the next few months. It will be accompanied by “The Lost Princess Principles”, a comprehensive guide for group study featuring questions for personal reflection, exploration of original Hebrew sources, guided exercises, and focused discussion points. The texts will form the basis for “The Lost Princess Initiative”, an organization devoted to spreading the life-changing messages of this story through premium social media content, events, and other projects designed to enable Jews to encounter the vibrant soul of Judaism. R’ Yaakov lives in Jerusalem with his wife, Shira, and their son, Shmuel Shmelke.
