Episode 6 - "Torah, Hiskashrus, and Crashing Parties" with Rabbi Ovadia Goldman
What happens when a young couple moves to a city with barely a minyan, no promises of support, and a whole lot of determination? In this episode, Rabbi Ovadia Goldman shares the remarkable and often hilarious story of building Chabad of Oklahoma City from the ground up.
With warmth, wit, and an unmistakably real style, Rabbi Goldman takes us through crashing fundraisers uninvited, calling strangers on their birthdays, and turning quiet Torah study into the foundation for deep friendships and major support. All the while, he weaves in a powerful reminder of the centrality of hiskashrus to the Rebbe — not as a slogan, but as a living reality that guided every step.
“You’re not just raising money — you’re delivering the Rebbe to the city.”
It’s raw, relatable, and deeply encouraging — especially for any shliach building in smaller communities or navigating the early years of fundraising.
