Charlie Harary on Let’s get real with Coach Menachem, Sunday July 19th.

Erev Tisha B’Av: The Path Out of Galus / What Does It Take to Move from Exile to Redemption?

In this episode of Let’s Get Real with Coach Menachem, Rabbi Charlie Harary explores the spiritual journey from exile to redemption in preparation for Tisha B’Av. He argues that the core obstacle to redemption is self-focus and the societal pressure of competition, which creates a barrier between individuals and HKB”H.

Charlie teaches that every person acts as a Mishkan, or a dwelling place for Hashem’s light. The path to redemption involves shifting one’s focus from the self toward serving others and channeling divine light into the world. He advocates for the 1% rule: making small, consistent efforts every day to act with kindness and move beyond self-interest. By doing so, individuals can actively participate in bringing the final redemption, rather than viewing it as a passive event.
