As described in the previous episode, I was BH the winner of the first ever Chassidus Applied essay contest, winning $10,000 with my essay entitled Getting Past Depression by Getting Past Yourself, based on a maamar of the Mitteler Rebbe.

This episode is the recording of 22-year-old me presenting the essay at the JLI Sinai Scholars Symposium at the University of Pennsylvania that year.
