How David Sacks Found God in Hollywood

David Sacks is an Emmy and Golden Globe-winning writer and producer, known for his work on iconic shows like The Simpsons and Third Rock from the Sun. But behind the Hollywood accolades lies a profound story of spiritual awakening and introspection.

In this episode, we explore his journey from a non-observant Jewish upbringing to becoming a passionate Baal Teshuva, discovering Hashem's presence not through dramatic miracles, but through thoughtful reflection and gratitude.
