In this episode of None Of Your Business, Michael sits down with the founders of Ohr Shlomo for a raw and deeply honest conversation about spirituality, growth, and what it really means to build a community that changes lives.

What started as a small Carlebach style minyan has evolved into something much bigger, a movement centered around music, connection, and personal transformation. The guys share how Ohr Shlomo came to life, the challenges of building a shul without a traditional structure, and why creating leaders, not followers, became the mission.

The conversation goes far beyond the origin story. They dive into the power of davening through music, how Shabbos can transform your entire week, and what it looks like to grow spiritually while balancing real life, work, and responsibility. There is also an honest discussion about anger, ego, jealousy, and self awareness, and how shifting your mindset can completely change how you experience life.

They also explore concepts like Hisbodedus, personal prayer and meditation, building a relationship with Hashem, and why talking to God in your own words might be one of the most powerful tools a person has.

What makes Ohr Shlomo different is simple but rare. It is not built around one leader. It is built around people growing together, supporting each other, and creating something real that extends beyond the walls of a shul and into everyday life.

This episode is about more than a place. It is about a mindset, a way of living, and a reminder that growth, connection, and meaning are available to anyone willing to look deeper.
