@ariblesser: How TikTok made me a Rabbi... 4 years ago someone posted my #LChaim song (without permission) with the caption "#Rabbi got bars..." The clip quickly went viral receiving 1.7 million views and instantly gave me a TikTok following. There was one big problem. I was not in fact a Rabbi. Hundreds of people have reached out to me since then asking for Rabbinical advice and I've been forced to sheepishly tell them I'm just a regular #Orthodox #Jew. I got sick of expaining the story and I decided the best thing would be to put in the work, and earn the title everyone assumed I already had. Now, I'm proud to announce that after years of #Torah study, I finally received semicha last week and I am officially a Rabbi!
