Early into my podcast, I lost track of how many times Rabbi Schacter’s name came up in conversation
Whether it’s been through his classes at YU, or his annual Yarchei Kallah seminars, or just being available for 1:1 advice...
So many of my guests have cited him as having been an invaluable

Today's episode is jam packed with actionable advice, timeless techniques, and legendary sermon lore…
We cover:
- How to grab your audience’s attention in the first 30 seconds,
- What you can do to be a more interesting speaker,
- The one thing that will make crafting your Drasha easier - and better - than anything else,
- How to command the respect of your congregation through your Drasha,
- And the one mindset that will allow you to let negative feedback roll off your back without taking it personally....
