    Mar 9 2025

  • Individual Enlightenment vs. Communal Obligation: Finding the Balance w/ Mendel Kalmanson
    Mar 2 2025

    Mendel Kalmanson joins Eli Nash on In Search of More to explore the balance between inner work and public service. He argues that true self-development isn’t just about personal healing but also about using that growth to contribute meaningfully to family, community, and the world.

    Reflecting on his own journey, Kalmanson discusses overcoming struggles and the role of spirituality in finding purpose. He critiques modern self-help movements for neglecting the communal aspect of growth and urges a shift from individual achievement to collective responsibility. Through stories of resilience and faith, he encourages a path where personal healing fuels a deeper commitment to helping others, ultimately creating a more meaningful and interconnected life.

  • TM vs Kosher Meditation w/ Rabbi Aryeh Siegel
    Feb 9 2025
    In this episode of the In Search of More podcast, Eli Nash interviews Rabbi Aryeh Siegel about his transformative journey from a challenging upbringing in Chicago and early educational frustrations to his deep dive into Transcendental Meditation. Rabbi Siegel reflects on his experiences as a TM teacher, critiquing the initiation process and the mystique of its mantras, and contrasts the initial allure of Eastern practices in the 1960s with the eventual disillusionment caused by their commercialization and misrepresentation.Prompted by a profound message from a spiritual authority, Rabbi Siegel shifted away from intensive meditation and renounced elements of Hindu imagery to realign with his Jewish identity. He now advocates for "kosher meditation" as a healthier alternative, emphasizing the importance of integrating meditation practices with Jewish values.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Watch Rabbi Siegel's Meditation Animations:English Version |https://youtu.be/V6NaToT6IqIHebrew Version |https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kYaDVElqro&t=27sThis animation introduces a simple technique for triggering the relaxation response discussed in the podcast. It's easy to learn, effective, beginner-friendly, and free of Avodah Zorah (Idolatrous content). Numerous scientific studies have demonstrated that this type of deep relaxation practice can significantly reduce stress and improve physical and mental well-being.I suggest watching the animation twice: first to understand the setup and then to practice the meditation.Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, regarded meditation as a valuable tool for those who feel overwhelmed by daily challenges such as workplace stress, family issues, health concerns, and financial pressures. However, he cautioned against regular meditation for those who successfully manage their work, family, and community responsibilities.We're building two websites,KosherMeditation.com andKosherCalm.org, which will offer more information about this meditation and other self-help tools for health and healing. A book on kosher meditation is almost complete. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at RabbiAryeh@KosherMeditation.com. Please share your contact details for website launch and book release updates.For more information about the halakhic challenges of Transcendental Meditation, visithttps://www.TMDeception.com-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with EliWebsite |https://bit.ly/eliyahunashInstagram |https://bit.ly/eliyahu_nashFacebook |http://bit.ly/3h3rFSrYouTube |https://youtube.com/@insearchofmore-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Subscribe to the In Search of More Podcast:www.youtube.com/@InSearchOfMore?sub_confirmation=1For booking inquiries, email: booking@insearchofmorepodcast.comJoin Our WhatsApp:https://wa.me/message/PBH5QDJQNQ5LJ1-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Follow us on social mediaFacebook |http://bit.ly/3jr9eYTInstagram |http://bit.ly/3JsvU5ITikTok |http://bit.ly/3XZ60LoTwitter |http://bit.ly/3XNgxsR
