Summary

Inspiration for the Nation is the weekly Jewish podcast from Living Lchaim, hosted by Yaakov Langer.

In the summer of 2019, Yossi Hecht’s life was drastically changed.
The doctors found a tumor in his spine and he needed a number of surgeries to remove it.

One of the repercussions from such invasive surgeries, is that the ability to go to the bathroom can oftentimes be affected.

With advice of his Rabbeim, he embarked on a campaign for individuals to have more concentration on the bracha of Asher Yatzar.

He saw personal wonders and has therefore made it his mission to try to inspire others to be more thankful.

Thus, using the blessing as a conduit to appreciate all of the good bestowed upon us.

Jewish tradition teaches that in every generation there are 36 people upon whose kindness and righteousness the very existence of the world depends, but whose identity no one knows - not even the 36 themselves.

Justin Hayet scours Israel to find the 36 most wonderful, interesting people doing the most wonderful, interesting things with the aim of discovering what makes Israel such a remarkable source of goodness.

Thirty-Six is a production of SoulShop and Bnai Zion.

“A wonderful and broad selection of interviewees. Justin conducts his interviews with kindness and respect and draws out those he is speaking with. After each interview, I wish I could meet Justin and his new friends.”
