In this episode, Shulem Lemmer, the Belz Hasidic singer who became the first Haredi Jew signed with the giant label Universal, joins the show. He shares how an innocent Chad Gadya clip on YouTube unexpectedly led to an international record deal, why he never planned on being a full time singer, and how he continued working at a “regular” job while building a musical career. The conversation dives into the world of performances, the halachic and value based decisions behind the scenes, and powerful stories of people whose hardest life moments were accompanied by his music. Shulem also speaks about family, travel, running, technology, and raising children, and explains how he tries to remain “a regular Jew” in the midst of success and public exposure.
