Ep. 23. A Fundraising Muscle Called Bitul — with Rabbi Mendy Levertov
In this episode of Wisdom from the Field, I sit down with Rabbi Mendy Levertov, shliach of Chabad Young Professionals (CYP) in Austin, Texas.
We explore what it really takes to build a YJP community from scratch — from early uncertainty and financial pressure, to steady growth, to purchasing a permanent building.
Mendy shares openly about:
But at the center of our conversation is one core idea:
Fundraising is a muscle — and that muscle is called bittul.
We dive into the deeper reality of fundraising as “mon” — the daily dependence on Hashem’s bracha.
This conversation touches on:
• The bitul of asking without ego
• The bitul of receiving without deflecting
• The stress of building a mosad — and learning to embrace it
• The power of speaking to mentors, friends, and coaches instead of trying to figure it all out alone
If you’re building, fundraising, stretching, doubting, or growing — this episode will speak directly to you.
Because sometimes the biggest growth doesn’t come from better strategy.
It comes from building the muscle.
