"In this week’s episode, we sit down for a raw, honest conversation with Sruly Green — a voice that has taken over a new generation in recent years.While some see his style as untraditional, others connect to it deeply — a reflection of how music evolves with each generation.We talk about his journey, the years of creating and releasing music before stepping fully into the spotlight, and what changed along the way.Sruly shares how he sometimes misses those earlier days — when music came straight from passion, without needing to fit a style or expectation.We also explore where music is heading, and whether AI will ever be able to truly capture a composer’s voice.A real conversation about creativity, growth, and staying true to your sound."

"In this episode, we sit down with Momo Teitelbaum — not the typical guy you meet every day.We start off with his move from the city to Lakewood, and that naturally opens up a bigger conversation about what people are really chasing — the pace of city life, the constant complaints, and how different environments shape the way people think.From there, the conversation moves into the music world — not just on the surface, but what it actually looks like behind it. What singers are really earning, how the business works, and how it compares to a regular, full-time path.We go deeper into the video side of things as well — the behind-the-scenes reality of productions, what makes something actually work, and the kind of thinking that goes into creating music videos that people connect to.Later on, we touch on DJ music and how it found its place, along with the different reactions around it — and how all of this ties back into the way the industry has been shifting.It’s a laid-back conversation with a lot of energy — moving between real-life topics, industry insights, and moments that are just fun to listen to.""And as always feel free to share your feedback, we’d love to hear your thoughts and comments.

This week on ShmueliCast, we sat down for a direct, open conversation with Yanky Fliegman, Fire Commissioner of the Monsey Fire Department.We began by speaking about his personal experience being present in Washington, D.C. on January 6th. Yanky shared what it was like to be there in real time — the atmosphere, the emotions, and how the day unfolded from his vantage point. Hearing the experience from someone who was physically there offers a different perspective — one that sheds light on details and impressions people may not have been exposed to until now, including how he recalls President Trump’s speech as it was delivered live, in the moment.From there, we transitioned into his role as Fire Commissioner — the responsibility it carries and the realities of serving the community.We also addressed some of the ongoing discussions surrounding fire response efforts in the area, including the dynamics between different volunteer groups. The topic was handled thoughtfully, allowing concerns and viewpoints to be expressed without taking sides or placing judgment.As always, ShmueliCast is about sitting down, hearing people out, and giving our audience the space to listen and form their own understanding."And as always feel free to share your feedback, we’d love to hear your thoughts and comments.

In this week’s episode, we sit down for a meaningful and inspiring conversation with Zalmen Leib Eisenberger, who opens up about losing his mother at just 16 years old — and how that pain ultimately became a mission of hope.Zalmen Leib shares how one dream kept him going through it all: becoming an actor. We talk about his journey in the acting world, the challenges along the way, and what it really takes to stay focused when life hits hard.We also discuss his volunteering with Mekimi, and how he turned both his time and talent into something bigger — bringing joy to kids in the hospital and creating moments of light where they matter most.To close, we get into something everyone needs to hear: what to say (and what not to say) when visiting someone for Nichum Aveilim, including a powerful story that puts it all into perspective.A real conversation about grief, purpose, hope, and the impact of simply showing up for others.

"In this week’s episode, we sit down for a natural, open conversation with Tzvi Blumenfeld — a legend in the heimish music industry and one of the most respected bandleaders in Jewish music. As the leader of Freilich, Tzvi has played a major role in shaping the sound of weddings and large-scale Jewish events.We cover a wide range of topics, including the major shift we’ve seen over the last few years in Jewish music — moving from long, complex, and heavily arranged tracks to shorter, lighter, and more accessible songs, often built around clear messages that people connect to. Tzvi shares his perspective on why this shift is happening and where he sees Jewish music heading. He also breaks down the real process of preparing a full music band for weddings and major events, shares practical tips for beginners entering the industry, and explains the key differences between Chassidish and Litvish weddings.Along the way, we get into the behind-the-scenes realities and some of the lesser-known secrets of the industry — from working with different types of musicians and singers to what really happens offstage. Tzvi also shares interesting stories from his career and explains how he handles situations when things go wrong, both live and in production.""And as always feel free to share your feedback💌, we’d love to hear your thoughts and comments.

From organizing COVID testing in yeshivas to opening The Yingerman — one of the most popular weekly Jewish magazines — and plenty in between, Moshe Gottlieb’s journey as a young entrepreneur is anything but typical.It began with finding and buying a camp for his yeshiva when it was desperately needed, and soon after, a unique sukkah business offering year-round storage and setup services. From there, Moshe threw himself into new challenges — working tirelessly around the clock to arrange COVID testing for yeshivas and kollelim across the community, only to later discover that the entire operation had been part of a scam. But instead of stopping there, he kept moving forward — learning, adapting, and building again.Between those ventures came many more creative ideas, each one shaping his understanding of business, people, and persistence. In this episode, Moshe shares the hard-earned lessons of starting young — the naivety, the risks, and the reality of what it truly takes to succeed.🎧 Listen and enjoy another deep and inspiring conversation — only on ShmueliCast."And as always feel free to share your feedback, we’d love to hear your thoughts and comments.
