In this episode of From the Inside Out with Rivkah and Eda, we sat down with Rabbi Shais Taub for a powerful Gimmel Tammuz conversation that goes far beyond memory — and deep into mission.
What does it mean to live with the Rebbe today? How do we access his guidance, clarity, and belief in us — especially for those who never met him?
This isn’t just a conversation about the Rebbe’s teachings — it’s about what happens when someone sees your soul, knows your potential, and believes in you more than you believe in yourself.
We talk about soul work, burnout, dating, divine direction, and what it looks like to keep moving forward even when you don’t feel ready. Whether you’re in a season of doubt, transition, or spiritual searching — this episode will remind you that you're not alone, and that you're already more than enough.
