Episode Description

100th episode. World-class Torah educator. All your burning questions.

To mark our 100th episode, Rav Aryeh Lebowitz joins Shtark Tank for a wide-ranging Q&A on what it really means to be a Ben Torah in the workforce.

We talk about:

  • “You’re never going to be Rav Schachter… and that’s okay” – setting healthy goals in learning

  • Gadol biographies, ambition, and why you’re not supposed to be the Chafetz Chaim

  • How to grow in learning when you’re working full time and raising a family

  • Stress and guilt: when “I’m not learning enough” is healthy – and when it’s toxic

  • Who should go into chinuch and rabbanus… and who should not

  • Aliyah, parnassah, and the real math of teaching in Eretz Yisrael

  • Minyan, mincha at work, and missing davening for family

  • Phones, attention spans, and why Rav Aryeh deleted Twitter

It’s a packed, honest conversation with one of the most listened-to Torah teachers in the world – and a fitting way to celebrate 100 episodes of Shtark Tank.

If this episode helped you, the best “100th episode gift” you can give is simple: follow the show, leave a 5-star rating, and share it with one friend who’s trying to balance Torah, work, and family.
