Episode 46: Rabbi Yossi Mintz

---

News is made and distributed faster than ever. Often,  unfortunately, the news cycle is also more negative than ever. In the  midst of this, how can we choose to focus on the positive and bring more  light into the world? My guest today, Rabbi Yossi Mintz, has been able  to do it and has advice for how we can do it as well. Rabbi Yossi is a  renowned communal leader and spiritual guide. In 1995, he established  the Jewish Community Center of the South Bay that has reached the entire  landscape of diverse cultures providing everything from counseling and  financial help for people in need to teaching leadership and  volunteerism for those who are more fortunate.

A unique place in  his heart has always belonged to children with special needs which led  him to establish the Friendship Foundation, an organization that  provides for over 1,800 children with special needs and their families  while involving the entire community.

Join us in today’s episode  to learn more about his journey and why he believes that every human  being has their own special needs.

Memorable Quotes:

"I  was instilled at a very young age the impact that each one of us has, a  responsibility that we're not just here for ourselves. There is a  purpose for each one of us in this world. And how we can impact this  world and make it a better place, and the years we live on this earth,  that we do not know, but every day we must not take it for granted."

"You  can make a difference in the life of somebody else. You are fortunate  to have all your abilities, be grateful and make those choices to  inspire someone else’s life to make it better."

"When they know  that we’re proud, that we know how to answer and we are not afraid of  them, they melt away. Because their base is false."

"Let’s make  this world a better place, bring light to the world. Remember one thing -  a little light, which is joy and universal acceptance, takes away so  much darkness and this world is so dark today."

How hard do you need to work to conquer your goals and reach your  dreams? Do you have the drive, determination, and discipline to do  whatever it takes? Joining me today is a man who has done it. Ryan  Sherriff is a Tampa Bay Ray who earned his right to pitch in the 2020  World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Why is this important?  Because he made it to the major leagues at an older age than most and he  had to overcome challenges after challenges, including Tommy John  surgery.
 

Listen in to hear the inspiring story of how a man  reached his dreams through discipline and hard work and the lessons that  he has learned along the way.
