On March 19th, the Columbus Community Kollel held its annual Friends of the Kollel raffle and matching campaign celebration. The event took place at Schottenstein Corporations and was graciously hosted by Jonathan and Nicole Schottenstein.

The evening’s headliner was none other than former Ohio State football coach and newly appointed Lieutenant Governor of Ohio, Jim Tressel. He joined Rabbi Hillel Kapenstein—Director of the Kollel and host of the KOLOT podcast—for a special fireside chat.

During their conversation, Coach Tressel shared insights from his legendary coaching career, offering practical lessons on leadership, teamwork, and personal growth—wisdom we can all apply to our everyday lives.
