Answer the Polls Here: https://thisorthatpolls.com/events/pesach In this special live episode of the Meaningful People Podcast, the conversation goes beyond theory and straight into reality, marriage, connection, and what actually happens behind closed doors. Through live polling and raw discussion, we uncover surprising truths: nearly 70% of people didn't feel prepared for marriage, and almost half admitted they questioned their decision within the first year. But what does that really mean? Is struggle a red flag, or part of the process? This episode breaks down what's really at the core of relationship tension. It's not communication, it's connection. From navigating conflict the right way to understanding why "I want a divorce" is often just a cry for help, this conversation offers a refreshing and deeply practical perspective on building a strong marriage. If you've ever wondered what separates couples who thrive from those who fall apart, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

MPP Archives: The Story of Mordechai Shapiro (2021)
MPP Archives: The Story of Mordechai Shapiro (2021)
Apr 24, 2024
1:21:26
Mordechai Shapiro was born in 1989 in Monsey, New York. Born into a musical family, his father is a chazzan and his mother has a background as a trained opera singer. He learned in yeshiva in Ashar, Netiv Aryeh, and Yeshivas Bais Yisroel. Shapiro made his musical debut as the star soloist of the Miami Boys Choir. After leaving the choir, Shapiro took a break from music until his voice transitioned sufficiently. He was a student of legendary voice teacher William Riley. He worked in other jobs and was a regular at birthday parties, bar mitzvahs, engagements, and as a one-man-band. Eventually, he began performing at weddings and other Jewish events as an independent artist. Mordechai is one of Jewish music’s hottest and most gifted performers. He also teaches music at HANC. He has been described as having the "ability to do things with his voice no one else in this business can". As an artist, Shapiro takes pride in the fact that his songs are message-oriented, “In every song that I sing, there is a distinct message of positivity and joy that I aspire to promote through my music.” This episode is brought to you by Touro University!

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, we sit down with Rabbi Elchanan Shoff (Los Angeles, USA) and Rabbi Michal Weichbrod (Yehuda, Israel) for a rare, honest, and passionate conversation about one of the most charged topics in the Jewish world today: Do Jews belong in America—or is it time to move to Eretz Yisrael? Together, they dive into: 🇺🇸 The spiritual role of Jews in America 🇮🇱 The mitzvah and meaning of living in Israel 🧠 How to make decisions based on Torah, not fear 👨👩👧👦 Raising children, chinuch, army service, and communal responsibility 📜 What Chazal, Rishonim, and Gedolim really say about Aliyah 🔥 The tension between idealism and practical reality This is not a political debate. It's a deep, thoughtful exploration of Hashem's ratzon, Jewish destiny, and how to live a life of purpose in today's world.

Dovid Bashevkin | The Achdus Crisis We Pretend Doesn’t Exist
Dovid Bashevkin | The Achdus Crisis We Pretend Doesn’t Exist
Jul 12, 2025
1:25:55
In this wide-ranging and deeply honest episode, Dovid Bashevkin unpacks one of the most pressing and overlooked issues in the Jewish world today: the fragmentation of the Orthodox community and the illusion of unity we like to project. With humor, vulnerability, and rare clarity, he explores why we’re lonelier than ever despite packed shuls and buzzing WhatsApp groups, how labels like “Modern Orthodox” and “Yeshivish” have shifted from ideological statements to institutional shorthand, and what it would actually take to foster real achdus, not just feel-good unity, but the kind that demands humility, discomfort, and real work. Dovid doesn't just point to problems; he calls for a fundamental shift in how we build community, raise children, and see ourselves in relation to other Jews. He challenges the frum world to stop outsourcing spiritual leadership to secular institutions and to reclaim the responsibility of engaging with the entire Jewish people, across lines of observance, geography, and history. This conversation dives deep into questions of identity, leadership, and personal responsibility, offering a sobering yet hopeful vision for what Jewish life could look like if we stopped waiting for the shofar and started living like redemption is already possible.

In this episode, we speak with Michal Lobanov, the wife of Alexander (Alex) Lobanov HY’D, who was abducted by Hamas on October 7, 2023, while working as the head bartender at the Nova Music Festival near Kibbutz Re’im. Alex was a devoted father from Ashkelon, caring for his physically disabled parents and supporting his wife Michal, who was five months pregnant at the time of his abduction. Tragically, after enduring months of captivity, Alex was murdered by Hamas, and his body was recovered from a tunnel in Rafah on August 31, 2024. In this heartfelt conversation, Michal shares her journey of grief, resilience, and the challenges of raising their two children, including the child born during Alex’s captivity. She reflects on the profound impact of the October 7 attacks, the enduring pain of losing Alex, and her determination to honor his memory.

Emunah & Yakov Clemons: We Were Just Searching For G-D
Emunah & Yakov Clemons: We Were Just Searching For G-D
Feb 7, 2026
1:22:36
In this episode, Emunah and Yaakov share their extraordinary journey from the Christian South to a fully observant Jewish life in Israel. Married young and raised in different Christian backgrounds, they describe years of deep questioning, searching for truth, and slowly uncovering Judaism, often completely on their own, without a Jewish community, rabbi, or guide. What began as questions about faith, practice, and God turned into years of living Jewish life in isolation, learning Torah, keeping Shabbat, and observing the holidays long before they ever met a Jew face-to-face. They walk through the emotional, spiritual, and practical challenges of conversion, relocating to a Jewish community, completing their giyur, and making aliyah in the aftermath of October 7. From driving 10 hours every Shabbat to Atlanta, to converting and remarrying in the same week, this conversation is about conviction, sacrifice, and choosing responsibility over comfort.

Rabbi Moshe Feinstein was born in the year 1895 in Uzda, near Minsk. In 1921 he became rabbi of Luban, near Minsk, where he remained until he came to the United States in 1937. In America he became the Rosh Yeshiva of Mesivta Tiferes Yerushalayim, a yeshiva in NY. Rabbi Feinstein was a dedicated and selfless leader for the Jewish people to whom anyone could approach at any time with any problem. Rabbi Moshe Feinstein was one of the last of the great leaders and sages from Europe and was a representative of the greatness the Jewish people had before the destruction of the Jewish communities during World War II. We were greatly privileged to have such a giant here in America. When he passed away in 1986 the Jewish people lost a great and caring leader and one of our last connections to the greatness of European Jewry.

A member of an extremely musical family, Eitan discovered that he had not just a love of music, but the talent as well. Spending his childhood moving back and forth between Los Angeles and Israel, Eitan was exposed to a wide variety of music from his earliest days. During his high school years, Eitan found himself gravitating towards the music of R’ Shlomo Carlebach which resonated deep within him and prompted him to take up the guitar, an instrument that instantly felt like it belonged in his hands. Being able to switch seamlessly from kumzitz mode to the simcha spirit comes naturally to Eitan who believes that when music comes from a place that is pure and true, expressing it in different ways is effortless.

Surviving the Bondi Beach Terror Attack
Surviving the Bondi Beach Terror Attack
Dec 17, 2025
48:29
A Chanukah celebration at Bondi Beach turned into a scene of terror. In this episode of the Meaningful People Podcast, we sit with a father and community leader who survived the Bondi Beach terror attack. His children were nearby. What he first thought were fireworks quickly became gunshots. Within moments, people were running, hiding, and falling. He shares, in real time, what it was like to be there: – realizing the danger – hiding with his daughter – searching desperately for his son – trying to help the wounded while protecting his child This conversation was recorded shortly after the attack, while the pain was still raw. It is honest, emotional, and unfiltered. We also speak about what came next. Lighting the menorah that night. Explaining fear to children. Holding onto faith and responsibility when everything feels shaken. This episode is not about headlines or politics. It's about survival, parenthood, community, and choosing light in the aftermath of terror. Our hearts are with all those affected by this attack, including the family of Rabbi Elie Schlinger, a beloved husband, father, and community leader who was killed. A link to support the Schlinger family is included below, as mentioned in the episode. If this story resonates, please consider sharing it.

My Husband Fought a Private War No One Could See
Jan 3, 2026
1:33:15
Four years ago, Shaina's life changed forever. Her husband, Yaakov—beloved, successful, devoted, admired—took his own life. In this raw and deeply moving conversation, Shaina speaks openly about what it's like to live through a tragedy that many are forced to hide, but she was never given the option to silence. She shares the painful reality of loving someone who was suffering invisibly, the strength it took to keep moving forward, and the unexpected blessing of authenticity in the aftermath. This episode goes beyond grief. It confronts the stigma around mental illness in the Jewish community, the cost of suffering in silence, and the courage it takes to talk when no one else will. Shaina challenges how we view suicide—not as weakness, but as a battle fought daily—and why telling the truth may be the only way to prevent the next tragedy. This is not an easy listen. But it is a necessary one.

Rabbi Kalish and Nachi Gordon sit down for the first ever live audience podcast at the Pesach at Bordeaux program. In this dynamic conversation, Nachi pressed R’ Kalish on every point: Why no tests in Yeshiva? Why no expulsions from Yeshiva? Why only show love to your students? This conversation is the clearest, most powerful window into Rabbi Kalish’s vision for Jewish education (chinuch) — and his answers will challenge how we all think about education.

This episode of the Meaningful People Podcast dives into a reality most people don't want to talk about. How good, well-meaning people can end up making decisions that change their lives forever. Through real stories and firsthand insights from Project 432 and the Aleph Institute, we explore the hidden pressures, rationalizations, and "small" choices that can spiral into serious consequences. From financial shortcuts to moments of desperation, this conversation breaks down how it actually happens, and why it's happening more often than people think. But more importantly, this isn't about judgment, it's about awareness. Whether you're in business, nonprofit work, or just navigating everyday decisions, the lessons here are practical and urgent: slow down, ask the right questions, and don't ignore your gut. Because sometimes the difference between staying safe and everything falling apart is just one decision in the moment. Aleph Institute provides religious, emotional, and financial support and advocates for the needs of individuals and families impacted by the justice system. Project 432 is Aleph's awareness and education initiative to inspire current and emerging generations to achieve the highest Torah and legal standards and build lives of integrity and peace of mind.

Danielle Renov: We're Running to Egypt? Really?!
Danielle Renov: We're Running to Egypt? Really?!
Mar 21, 2026
1:16:10
As war continues in Israel, daily life has completely lost any sense of normalcy. Sirens, uncertainty, and constant disruption have turned even the simplest routines into impossible challenges. In this powerful conversation, Danielle Renov shares what it actually feels like to raise a family under these conditions, where every decision, from going to the store to putting kids to sleep, is shaped by the unknown. Beyond the physical danger, she opens up about the emotional toll, the impact on children, and the deeper struggle of living without structure while trying to prepare for Pesach. The conversation then shifts into a raw and controversial discussion about Jews leaving Israel during the war, trust, and what it really means to rely on Hashem. Danielle challenges the mindset behind panic decisions, calling for stronger bitachon, unity, and internal growth rather than judgment. From personal loss to faith, from fear to resilience, this episode explores what it means to live through crisis with purpose, and why the path forward starts from within.

Behind Between Carpools with Leah Schapira
Behind Between Carpools with Leah Schapira
Dec 8, 2022

We could all use that "older sister" who knows the answer to everything and gives us those tips and tricks to make our lives run smoother. Between Carpools, the lifestyle website for the busy Jewish woman run by five talented women, fills that need beautifully. We sat down and had a DMC with Leah Schapira, known at the ultimate connecter. Like it says on their website, every team needs a mover, shaker, and motivator (and great recipe developer!) like Leah, who keeps the team moving with our eyes focused on the goal, and is always on the lookout for talent. Leah has authored and co-authored nine (!) cookbooks, and most recently, with the BCP team, helped create Artscroll’s brand new Best of Kosher Cookbook. Leah describes herself as a creative and is always juggling new ideas and projects with her team of very talented frum women whose goal is to make the lives of frum women easier, more enjoyable and more beautiful. On this DMC we discuss: Tips about when to quit a project and when to keep pushing The type of content BCP provides frum women and how the team comes up with fresh ideas Why Leah and her team decided not to include their faces in the branding of BCP (but yes, pictures of women are featured on their website) Staying focused and how not to let exciting new ideas get in the way of long term goals Leah’s perspective on the increased focus on aesthetics in the frum world What inspires Leah in meeting her career goals We’d love to hear from you.
