As recently covered by COLlive.com, NYC Mayor Eric Adams visited the Rebbe’s Ohel to pray for himself and the city of New York. Afterwards, the mayor headed over to the brand new SoulWords studios to sit down with Rabbi Shais Taub for a podcast discussion that covered some unusually spiritual topics.
Adams opened up about a pivotal moment from his 2021 mayoral campaign, when a visit to the Ohel brought what he describes as a miraculous turning point. With vulnerability, Adams also spoke of his journey with dyslexia, highlighting how neurodivergence can be a source of unique strength. He and Rabbi Taub then explored the fractures in today’s political system, with Adams echoing the Rebbe’s vision for preventing crime by investing in education.
The conversation also touched on the Rebbe’s initiative for a moment of silence in schools, a practice Adams supports for fostering moral reflection among students. Delving further, the mayor shared insights on meditation and conscious breathing, practices that ground his leadership.
Rabbi Taub, known for his ability to bridge Torah wisdom with contemporary challenges, guided the exchange with warmth and insight. The result was a dialogue that not only showcased Adams’ humanity but also underscored the enduring relevance of the Rebbe’s teachings in addressing modern issues.
