R' Yaakov Sadigh | From Learning Quran in Iran to Teaching Torah

R' Yaakov Sadigh | From Learning Quran in Iran to Teaching Torah

Author: Meaningful Minute September 9, 2023 Duration: 1:28:45

Rabbi Yaakov Sadigh shared his unique journey from growing up in Iran in a century old Jewish family, which included visits to the tomb of Mordechai and Esther in Hamedan, Iran. He spent his early years in Iran and was forced to flee his homeland at the age of 9 following the overthrow of the Shah. Arriving in the United States, he navigated the challenges of the public school system before discovering his true calling within the hallowed halls of Yeshivas.

He has been working in the field of Education for the past 29 years in numerous capacities including teaching and administration. Rabbi Sadigh holds a Master's Degree in School Building Leadership from St. John's University, a Master's Degree in Education and Special Education from Touro University, and Rabbinic Ordination from Nechamas Yerushalayim.

Rabbi Yaakov Sadigh currently serves as Head of School at Katz Hillel Day School in Boca Raton, Florida.

Every week, Nachi and Momo sit down for a conversation that feels more like a discovery than an interview. Their Meaningful People podcast explores the journeys of fascinating individuals from across the Jewish world, though you don't need to be Jewish to find their stories compelling. These are artists, educators, thinkers, and community builders-people whose lives are driven by purpose. Each episode delves into the personal turning points, challenges, and inspirations that shaped them, moving beyond public personas to reveal the real human experience behind them. You’ll hear conversations that are as likely to be funny and lighthearted as they are profound and reflective, offering a genuine sense of connection. This isn't about abstract ideas, but about the lived wisdom that comes from a life examined. Tune in for a weekly dose of perspective that feels both uplifting and grounding, a reminder of the diverse paths that lead to a meaningful life. From Meaningful Minute, this podcast sits at the unique intersection of spirituality, self-improvement, and education, all through the power of personal narrative.
