What does it really mean to live on purpose? And can ancient Jewish wisdom help anyone, regardless of background, live with greater clarity, direction, and meaning?

In this inspiring episode of the Bridge Builders Forum Podcast, Ryan Lambert sits down with Rabbi Mendel Kalmenson, author of On Purpose: Practical Wisdom for Designing a Life of Purpose. 

Drawing from the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, one of the most influential Jewish leaders of the 20th century, Rabbi Kalmenson shares how timeless Jewish ideas can guide all people, Jewish, Christian, or otherwise, toward a more focused and meaningful life.

Together, they explore:

Why the Rebbe believed every person has a unique and irreplaceable role in the world

How Jewish wisdom views the soul and its mission

What it means to participate in the “ongoing process of creation”

How to overcome the traps that distract us from our purpose

Why struggle can actually be a path to deeper meaning

And what each of us can do, right now, to live with greater intention in the year ahead

Whether you're entering the Jewish New Year of 5786 or simply seeking renewed purpose in your life, this conversation offers practical insight and spiritual encouragement for the journey.
