Welcome to The Motivation Congregation! My name is Michoel Brooke. I studied for three years in Rabbi Nosson Stein's Yeshiva in Lakewood, New Jersey. Afterward, I learned under Rabbi Yosef Elephant of the Mir Yeshiva in Yerushalayim. I am currently studying Torah full-time at Kollel BMTC.
I produce and distribute Torah podcasts. "The Motivation Congregation" is a daily Torah talk focusing on inspiration, motivation, and ethical teachings ("Mussar"). "The Weekly Parsha" is an insightful Parsha shiur that aims to encourage and energize our Avodas Hashem. "Great Jewish Stories of Iconic Torah Giants" brings you tales of tzaddikim and gedolim that will help you discover the greatness of our roots and find inspiration in our history.
My approach is to both encourage and reproach with love for all Jews. I promote the in-depth analysis of personal Hashkafa and seek avenues for practical application. In the true spirit of Slabodka, I strive to examine everything in one's life from the point of view of truth.
Welcome to the family. I'm glad you're here!
