Summary

In this minisode of the 18Forty Podcast, we reflect upon a year beyond words (and numbers).

At every stop of the process in the wild journey that has been 18Forty, we’ve been motivated by our fantastic community members who have pushed us to ask deeper questions, to be more honest with ourselves, and to think more sharply and profoundly about what it means to be a Jew today.

We’ve grown with you and for you, and we’re so thankful to be able to provide everything we can for you all. More than anything, organic growth inspires us—people finding out about 18Forty from a friend who can’t stop thinking about a recent interview they listened to, articles and podcasts shared in Whatsapp groups and discussed around Shabbos tables across the world, with feedback streaming in from every corner of the Jewish world.

To another year of more growth, curiosity, and asking better questions—for everything, thank you!

0:00.0	Hi friends, a few months ago we advertised the birth of a new community in Israel.
0:05.4	Eden Bait Shemesh, a community tailored made for all those of us in need of a five-year plan,
0:12.7	and let's face it, we are living in a time when every single one of us should be drafting the five-year plan for our futures in Israel.
0:20.5	Our own listeners from within the 1840 community have purchased in Eden, an opportunity which
0:26.4	they will longingly watch unfold into a reality, a shul, and a community.
0:32.1	I am so proud that the leaders behind Aden are none other than Rabbi Benny and Khani Krohn. I know them personally because they are the rabbi and Rebitten of my own
0:42.4	personal community and they are the ones leading this new development community. And I know for my own life that
0:49.6	their stewardship, their leadership is you know this is going to be a welcoming, joyous, incredible
0:55.7	community where everyone is going to be able to feel comfortable and build a home.
1:00.2	On June 29th, Eden will be hosting a webinar to speak in detail about the vision for this project.

1:20.2	to find out more. Hi friends. Every year at the end of the year, we try to reflect on the year of 1840 and build support from our listening community.
1:45.9	That's, of course, you.
1:47.0	If you remember last year, the imagery that we used and often continued to use is a car spinning
1:53.8	out of control.
1:54.7	If you've ever, God forbid, been in a situation or even seen a situation where a car begins
1:59.6	to spin and skid on the road, our first
2:02.6	reaction usually is to take the steering wheel and turn in the other direction, move away from
2:08.4	where the momentum of the spinning is going. And of course, sadly, that will only make the car
2:13.7	spin even more wildly and you'll lose control of the actual wheels. What you need to do instead,
