The Country Yossi Semi-Show 20110411

In another special pre-Pesach spectacular for Monday, April 11, 2011, Country Yossi welcomes Rabbi Dovid Heber, editor of the annual STAR-K Passover Directory, and Ronnie & Larry Birnbaum of J Drugs to answer all of your Pesach shailes.

...well, at least after the first half-hour of "Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt!" "Hello? Is this thing on? Hello? Hello!!" "We're experiencing technical difficulties. Please stand by." But we took that part out, leaving a show about the size of the afikoman.

So, is this podcast כשר לפסח? Are you kidding? It's got BEAN right in the web address, and that means it's very likely kitniyos. Just to be safe, we'll be off for the next couple of weeks. A Zissen Pesach to you and yours, and we'll see you after Yom Tov.

The Country Yossi Show 20110404

It's The Country Yossi Show for Monday, April 4, 2011.

This week, everyone's favorite April Fool, Country Yossi, takes on a serious topic as he talks to Rabbi Ben Tzion Shafier, Director & Speaker of TheSchmuz.com, a 45 minute Torah lecture that focuses on major issues of life. Issues ranging from "working on anger" to "learning to be a better spouse" -- from "understanding the reason behind davening" to "what my purpose is in this world". So many of concepts that we take as given - yet somehow we may not have focused on of late.

Be sure to pick up a copy of Rabbi Shafier's book, Stop Surviving, Start Living.

Ask someone today, “How are you doing?” and you will hear some interesting responses. “Hanging in there.” “Surviving.” That is a reaction you would expect from a man who just found out he has terminal cancer and has six months to live. How do you explain it coming from people living in the lap of luxury, enjoying wealth, freedom, and almost limitless opportunities? HANGING IN THERE? SURVIVING?!

More than a mere expression, it is indicative of a deep dissatisfaction just beneath the surface. That's not the way it's supposed to be - not the way Hashem wants it to be.

Why did Hashem create us? Why is there suffering? Why is there pain?

Here is a book that answers these and other deep life-questions, in an engaging, entertaining manner. It offers a roadmap and the inspiration to create a life of meaning and purpose - to stop merely surviving and start living.

Written in an easy-to-read, contemporary style, this powerful book offers a road map and the inspiration to create A LIFE OF MEANING AND PURPOSE - to stop merely surviving and start living.

Also, Country and Heshy take your calls and crown some Grand Prize Winners.

Don't forget the 23rd Anniversary Pesach issue of the Country Yossi Family Magazine escapes from the printer on Friday, and right here next Monday it's the annual Country Yossi Show pre-Pesach Special. Country Yossi welcomes Rabbi Dovid Heber, editor of the annual STAR-K Passover Directory, and Larry Birnbaum of J Drugs to answer all of your Pesach shailes, so get them ready!

The Country Yossi Show 20110321

It's The Country Yossi Show for Monday, March 21, 2011.

In celebration of Purim, Country and Heshy are joined by Yitzy Bald, director of The New York Boys Choir to make a big noise with samples from their debut album. Check out the pictures of this historic occasion, courtesy of Jewish Insights, just down the page a ways. This is the same Yitzy Bald who brought us hit albums like LeGabay, Pruzbul, Mendy Wald’s first two albums (Sameach & Lechaim) and even stellar hits for both MBD and Avraham Fried and many more. Now Yitzy is making the transition from solo artists to choirs. The only way Yitzy saw that as being possible was for him to direct the choir himself. Hence the NYBC was created. What to expect? As Yitzy says “Let the album speak for itself”. It will be like no other choir out there to date. The album features 12 brand new Yitzy Bald compositions that were composed and arranged specifically for this amazing choir. So this Purim its time to welcome the new choir on the block, The New York Boys Choir.

This colorful picture book is a great tool for educating children about bullies in a non-threatening manner. It’s the perfect way to teach young children how to react to the very real threat of bullying. The book also contains facts about bullying and tips for parents and educators. And tonight's program has been mercifully shortened for your listening convenience, so make good use of that extra fifteen minutes.
