Why does Hashem give someone a voice, and what should they do with it? Singer and cantor Shlomie Rabin joins LivingYosh to talk about growing up, finding the confidence to sing, leading a minyan, and helping other people share their talents through JPlacing.

What is it really like to be the person behind some of Hollywood’s biggest stunts? On this episode of LivingYosh, Joshua “Yosh” Markell sits down with veteran stunt performer, stunt coordinator and second-unit director Jennifer Badger. Jennifer has spent more than 25 years creating action for film and television, with work spanning more than 200 productions. Her career has included everything from doubling major Hollywood stars to designing and coordinating action sequences. We talk about how Jennifer got started as a child actress, her transition into stunt work, what it takes to break into one of Hollywood’s toughest professions, and what separates a good stunt performer from a great one. Jennifer also takes us behind the scenes of her career and talks about working in the world of major productions and franchises, the danger and preparation behind stunts, getting recognized for her work, whether she still gets starstruck—and the question I had to ask: Is Jennifer Badger actually a superhero? We also get personal about fear, taking risks, getting knocked down, getting back up, and what decades of stunt work have taught Jennifer about resilience in real life. 🎬 JENNIFER BADGER Official Website: JenniferBadger.com IMDb: Jennifer Badger on IMDb Jennifer's official bio lists more than 25 years in stunt work, 200+ productions, five SAG Award nominations, a SAG Award win, four World Stunt Award nominations, and recognition for her stunt coordination work. 🎙️ LIVINGYOSH WITH JOSHUA “YOSH” MARKELL Official Website: LivingYosh.com Spotify: Listen to LivingYosh on Spotify Apple Podcasts: Listen to LivingYosh on Apple Podcasts LivingYosh is about real people, real journeys and the lessons we learn from what we go through—conversations about resilience, faith, purpose, success, failure and the moments that change our lives.

Confidence doesn’t always begin with one huge accomplishment. Sometimes, it begins by choosing one small thing—and proving to yourself that you can do it.

Yom Kippur is only 25 hours, but it can change the direction of an entire year. During one of the most important prayers of the year, my Yom Kippur was interrupted. It was difficult—but I chose to see it as a test, a reminder, and an opportunity to grow. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur remind us that we can always do better, return to Hashem, ask forgiveness, and begin again. Whatever interrupts us or tests our faith, we can still choose prayer, love, and spiritual growth. What are you praying for this year, and what do you hope to improve? #YomKippur #RoshHashanah #JewishFaith #Inspiration #LivingYosh
