I've heard his testimony before, but I'm happy to be re-listening to it, because it gives me an opportunity to praise God again!

I was almost two years old when it happened. In my school we talked about it every year on 9/11. My history book did have it in the textbook by the time I was in middle school. God bless, thank you for sharing your story.

Ari is an amazing storyteller God blessed him !

Same. Very inspiring. God was most definitely watching over him.

I love how the events as tragic as they were, helped you to find a new perspective on what is really important in life. I heard a story of a lawyer who didnt even want to leave his paperwork behind for a case and just didnt grasp how in the grander scheme of things what really mattered, but now he has since tried to also focus on his family first. Thank you for sharing your experience!

You gave her strength and she gave you humility. You both survived and the terrorists didn’t win. Anyway that’s what I was thinking… for sure I know where I was that day, that moment in time… I try to listen to your podcast. Love from France 🇫🇷. 🕯

The message of Hashem never gives you anything you cant handle has gotten me through so many times. It gave me strength to know even though i feel like this is impossible Hashem was saying no it is and you can do this. Thank you for this episode. And i really like the light/mitzva insight.

I listened to this episode last year and again this year. Love and wisdom ooze out of Ari. I grew up Catholic and for years, I wanted to go to worship in a synagogue. I always felt I was Jewish in my heart. I asked a Jewish acquaintance the very first time I met him, how should I go about attending a service at a synagogue. He suggested I call a rabbi and ask. I didn't want to offend anybody by not knowing when to sit or stand. (Years later, I found a book that described how to visit different places of worship). The rabbi interviewed me and interrogated me to make sure I had no ill will in my motive to visit. I completely understood and was not offended. She recommended I attend the Friday night service. I did. People welcomed me and one woman told me I looked Jewish! I only knew the words, rabbi and shalom. The Hebrew songs and readings resonated with me. I wish I knew some of the Jewish terms you used in this interview. I think I figured out most of them by the context in which they were used. I remember when I was a Girl Scout, we ended each meeting by singing, "Let There Be Peace On Earth." Let it begin with me! That is what came to mind as Ari was speaking. In the new testament, I think in the book of Mathew, it said not to hide under a bushel basket. Ari is a great speaker and I was inspired and motivated once again. Thank you.

Well, you made this jew cry. Thank you for sharing your story. I’m very glad to hear the synagogue You went to was welcoming to you. I’m not sure how long ago this was but I think you said years ago. Sad though that we have to make sure that there is no ill intent of a visitor who’s not even coming with somebody; but it’s the way it is, especially again these days. At least in this country. And others. Be well, and if I may wish you much mazel! ❤

@@rachmunshine9474 I called the rabbi in 2005 or 2006. I visited about 5 times. It could have been just me but I was getting vibes of why does this women keep visiting? So, I stopped going. When I moved near DC, I went to the historic 6th and I. I didn't ask for permission to visit, I just went. I lived in China for over 3 years. A Chinese family took me to a tea house. I don't speak Chinese. I just learned a few words. When we were leaving the tea house, a man was arguing with the man I was with. I was quite a bit ahead of the two men and I was with the wife. I asked the wife what they were talking about. I could tell the conversation was getting heated. It kept escalating. I was told the stranger was claiming I was Jewish. Obviously, he was antisemitic. I took it as a compliment. I was smiling as we walked away. Jesus was a Jew. I have considered becoming a Messianic Jew. I generally do not discuss religion at work. I was working with a colleague whom I had just met. She said something that told me she was Jewish. I asked her about Messianic Jews and her answer surprised me. I quickly realized she was liberal and I am conservative. I nicely said I didn't want to argue or upset her. It is never my intent to offend anyone.

If I had meant harm but I was going by myself, I could have cased the joint. I went to learn about and experience the religion from which Christianity stems from. I am traditional. I never got to worship with a male rabbi. What I loved about my visits was the rabbi explained the symbolism. I went before and around Sukkot. The word I remember is --sounds like onag. Learning about Sukkot, I have never looked at a full moon the same way again since learning about Sukkot. It makes me think of the slaves on the Underground Railroad travelling by the light of the moon. I know Rosh Hashanah started yesterday. Happy New Year!

I have an uncle who is Jewish. I was always so shy around him because we didn't visit each other very often. I was a shy kid. I was in MA and he was in NY. His ethnicity is Jewish, but I believe he was a secular Jew. He married my aunt in the 1950s. My cousins grew up without practicing a religion. When we were at my grandparents' house in R.I., my aunt, my cousins and I went to the Catholic church together. It bothered my father that my grandparents never really accepted my uncle. My uncle was a good provider for his family. But my uncle didn't really like my father for other reasons. Oh, dysfunctional families! All that to say I never asked my uncle any questions about the Jewish religion.

I've been looking for a well told story I haven't heard, this was perfect ❤

Wow meaningful people have the best podcasts at the best time

God definitely has a plan for you ARI . You survived against the odds unscathed . Nothing short of a miracle. Im 53 and definitely was alive then . 31 a young mom of 2 little girls my son yet to be born. I had him watch this 1st . Then many others stories followed . It is not taught in schools and i made sure my son knew what occurred. Yes it needs to be taught !! If not in school at home then and its a responsibility for parents to provide it . Ty again Ari . You are a beautiful survivor and hero . You have a gift to share with the new generations.

Thank Mr. Schonbrun for sharing your story. You made the right Choice to save Virginia that day and it saved you. First, being late that day absolutely saved you.

perfect to hear on Elul. was glued to the video

9-11 was in my highschool history books! We had a memorial every time the day passed from my first school year to my last.

Every morning we open our eyes is because we have been given another chance at life. מודה אני לפניך מלך חי וקיים שהחזרת בי נשמתי בחמלה רבה אמונתך

There is a video on YT where Ari shares his story with a UK audience. Told in a quite different way than we often hear from survivors. Very touching and moving, quite humoristic (is that a word in English?) and never boring or pathetic. I would like o get his book. Ari is an excellent storyteller.

Scholastic is alive and well!! My grandson is 7 and we do book orders lol who knew it saved your life!!

I love hearing y'all talk. I miss the many friends & co-works when I moved from DFW, TX to Upstate NY. Those 5 yrs were open, interesting & happy. Now, age 70, raised on a farm in SW Missouri, I have always been baffled by Anti-Semitism. Beginning in small town Sunday school. Age 6ish as the prejudiced teacher rattled off about Catholics & The Jewish. Do what??? What kind of lesson is that for 6 yr olds. Even in1960, I questioned. 'Kennedy is Catholic...ahhh so what? SHE made me question our church on all things. My Mom & older sisters felt different & I liked their version! HAH! At 20 I met my wonderful downstairs neighbors. The 1st Jewish people I'd ever met. I remember they were hesitant about how my roomie & I would react. We were fascinated and interested in them, not the BS. We loved that couple & it was a great learning experience. Fast forward to today I still cannot, will not, ever understand bashing any race, religion as result of ignorance & prejudice. I'm still in the DO WHAT??? mode. God bless you. Thank you to Ari. For sharing his story and carry "never forget" forward. Be Kind.

Great storyteller!

Unbelievable!

The constant and unnecessary interruptions by the interviewers need to head up a video: HOW NOT TO CONDUCT AN INTERVIEW 101.

This was a serious account of 9/11 and the hosts of this show were smiling and to cavalier while this retelling of Ari’s account of escaping death.

Thank you for this video. I am probably called a “goy”, being nonreligious, but very spiritual. I see “God” in averything and it all has purpose and meaning. Starting With myself trying to be a light onto myself so I can change my tiny part of the World is often on my mind. And 9/11 has impacted me very much through youtube videos.. allways looking for videos, I havn’t Seen yet, and watching survivor stories, first hand witnesses etc, helps me put my Daily challenges in perspective, as small but meaningfull. So, Thank you for bringing Ari to the screen once again.. this time it feels deeper and more profound than others, that I watched of him from earlier. I wish you all the best🙏💚

I’m listening I was alive for 9/11 and I was for 11/22/ 1963. The day JFK died and the day RFK died. 6.5/1968. They all left huge hollowed-out areas in my mind heart and soul

That group he passed must have been Michael Wright’s group. When I was listening to Michael’s story as told by a Mrballen a internet storyteller he mentioned that Michael and a group in the north tower let them a group pass through them and Michael even described a woman who was badly burnt. It’s a small world. Both Michael and Ari’s stories are incredible. Both were almost around the same floors as well. I think Michael was just below the impact zone. I’d be surprised if Michael wasn’t the group that allowed them to pass because it’s a small world in a Huge tower.

I understand that Hashem wont challenge us with a nisayon that overwhelms our abilities. What did Momo Bauman mean that Hashem wont give us less than we can handle? What lesson should we take from that lesson?

Hashem only gives you what you can handle….it’s a tricky comment, not well received by people going through difficult stuff. Some people crack under tests of life. Better to say, Hashem should give you the KOACH to handle challenges that come your way.

To tip the scale and bring the full revelation of moshiach

And thank you. Bh. Amazing nes

He has taught me

It isn't "by design!" It is not politics. Teachers have little impact on district curriculum. That is a BS.term, when he really means "lack of design." Forgetting it or having competing priorities is LACK of design

I remember him from Bayswater

Perhaps 9/11 Is not in NY/NJ area history books because it would be too painful for families. It will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

It changed the financial sector too.

What happened w Virginia?

A person is delayed in traffic and misses their flight. They catch the next flight which proceeds to crash and there are no survivors. Is that also an example of yad Hashem? For every story where someone is saved by yad Hashem isn't their likely someone who was not saved by yad Hashem?

@Darrell maybe whether you survived or not is giving us the opportunity to see what we learned from it. Listening to his story and reading your words both help me to watch at the broader picture and gives us an amazing perspective on life. Where do you go from here? Even today while looking back and remembering and sharing these experiences is meaningful to me to say at the least.

We must remember that earth our life here is not our home . It's to prepare us for God . I believe that those who perished the soul was ready to be in the presence of God. The survivors still have work to do on earth. Death is not the end . As living beings we see that it is the worst thing that can happen. As we lose family and friends through out our lives we greive at the loss. But the departed are not grieving the loss of earthly life . They are at peace . They are at rest . So that is my answer for you. Only what I believe. I know when it's my time I will see my friends and family who went before me and I am not afraid of death . I lived a beautiful life and I cherish each day.

Well that is not the case in every state. In Illinois public school not taught . Moved to Nevada and it is taught . So every state has their own curriculum.

Jews are not the only ones who believe in God . We all share one God regardless of the religion we follow . Its sad that we allow religion to separate us. We are all children of God .

Their sponsors should sue. Lol They suck at promotions.

its not true that the common man doesnt know about 9/11, this new youngest generation is very uncommon 😂 they dont count
