Thirty years ago today, Motti Eden, a radio broadcaster from Israel’s ‘Kol Yisrael’ news station, came to the Rebbe for a Yechidus. Amongst other issues related to Israel, the Rebbe discussed with him the importance of using technology, such as radio, to spread the message of Torah and Yiddishkeit.
In the Yechidus, Motti asked the Rebbe how, as a radio broadcaster, he could make Torah and Mitzvos relevant today as a ‘News’ item. The Rebbe answered that every single day a Jew has to view Torah and Mitzvos as a ‘New News Item’ and even today, Tuesday, Parshas Pinchas we have to view Torah and Mitzvos as new and exciting…and since Motti works in radio, it is his obligation to make Torah and Mitzvos relevant to today.
At the yechidus, Motti brought in a tape recorder to record the yechidus.
JEM interviewed Motti Eden a few months ago for the My Encounter with the Rebbe project as part of an upcoming volume in the Faithful and Fortified series.
