Long before I became a father,, a rabbi, or a teacher, I was an eight-year-old boy in the Kids Minyan at Ahiezer. Through sports, friendship, laughter, and Torah, Rabbi Mevorach found a way to reach a group of boys and make us feel important. Looking back more than fifty years later, I can still trace so much of who I became to the investment he made in us during those formative years.  Parashat Beha'alotekha teaches that Aharon lit the Menorah 'until the flame rose on its own.' Perhaps that is the Torah's definition of a great educator. Not someone who creates followers, but someone who creates future leaders. Join us as we explore the connection between the Menorah, mentorship, and the remarkable legacy of a rabbi who taught a generation of boys how to let their own flames shine.       ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/parsha-with-rabbi-david-bibi-4336127/episodes/the-rabbi-who-stayed-until-the-flame-rose-by-itself-behaalotecha/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/parsha-with-rabbi-david-bibi-4336127/the-rabbi-who-stayed-until-the-flame-rose-by-itself-behaalotecha.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
