Inspiration for the Nation is the weekly Jewish podcast from Living Lchaim, hosted by Yaakov Langer.Eli Riesel was a successful real estate developer who left his high-powered career to fully immerse himself in Torah learning, seeking deeper meaning and fulfillment. Despite achieving spiritual peace, Rabbi Eli was later indicted for bank fraud linked to his past business dealings and faced over 300 years in prison but refused to testify against others.
