Ever walk out of a great shiur or powerful davening totally on fire… and by 11:30 AM you’re scrolling, annoyed at people, and can’t even remember what you decided that morning?

That’s where this week’s Street Farbrengen starts.

Reuven puts a raw question on the table with Zakaria:

“How come I learn every morning that the mind is supposed to direct the heart… and then, in real life, I forget to even use my mind?”

From there, the conversation goes deep and very real:

• The to-do lists and lofty decisions that somehow evaporate between Shacharis and lunchtime
• Whether our davening is an “escape pod” or actually meant to bridge into the days sales calls and disappointments
• And the bigger question: am I the same ‘me’ when I’m learning Chassidus as when I’m stuck in traffic or dealing with a delayed deal?

Is the problem that we don’t know enough, don’t daven deep enough, or is it something more subtle about identity and default programming?

Hit play on this episode if you’ve ever wondered why your Chassidus feels crystal clear at 7:30 AM… and like a distant dream by the time real life shows up.
