Episode 54: Imu Shalev "Torah Meets Technology"

Join us as we sit down with Imu Shalev, the CEO and COO of Aleph Beta, one of the most innovative Torah learning tools on the internet. Imu shares his journey of how he went from being the Director of the Maccabeats and Producer for Mayim Bialik's successful YouTube channel to his current position. Imu also talks about how Rabbi David Fohrman's tireless work ethic and innovative approach to learning TaNaKh changed his own approach to Torah study. He highlights specific lessons that stand out to him, and how they've impacted his personal growth and development. We share our opinions on what is lacking in Yeshiva educations and discuss what can be done to improve it. As a coach, Imu helps individuals navigate various challenges in their personal and professional lives, such as business relationships, marriage struggles, stress and anxiety, productivity, and management. He shares how he uses the Enneagram to determine what motivates and drives us as individuals, and how it can help us better understand and collaborate with others. It was amazing to get to know one of the other voices behind AlpehBeta.org, which our listeners know by now is our go-to Torah content for the entire family. Imu's down-to-earth, thoughtful, and innovative approach is truly astonishing, and we feel that he's only scratching the surface of what's to come.
