From our very first episode, writing has been a steady theme here at Shtark Tank. Over the past two episodes, we got amazing feedback about the banker who wrote world-famous sefarim and Abie Rotenberg, who not only composed legendary music but also published sefarim—on top of his day job.

This week, we’re continuing that thread and talking about writing divrei Torah. But before we get into it, we’re excited to announce the launch of our new website: shtarktank.org! It features writing by Bnei Torah in the workforce—real, thoughtful Torah from people balancing work and avodas Hashem. Head over there and drop your email so you don’t miss a post.

This week we’re joined by Reuven Kirschner—a systems implementor at a tech company with a ton going on beyond his 9-to-5. He recently published a sefer called Groovin’ to the Torah, and he’s one of the founding members of the growing community in Karmei Gat. We talk about motivation, time management and more.

You can check Reuven out on LinkedIn, and don't forget to check out his podcast, Career Canvas.
