Rabbi Shalom Arush - Garden of Emuna

Jan 8, 2022

1:08:40

Rabbi Shalom Arush is the Head of “Chut Shel Chessed” Institutions - Chut Shel Chessed’s incredible success is largely due to its leader – Rabbi Shalom Arush, and his unique ability to reach out and touch the hearts of Jews and non-Jews throughout the world. Rabbi Arush is not your typical orthodox rabbi. Born in Morocco, he made aliya and moved to Israel with his parents at age thirteen. After graduating high-school, he served in the Israeli Defense Force’s elite naval rescue unit as an airborne combat-medic, where he took part in many clandestine missions. After completing his three year stint in the service, Rabbi Arush attended university, majoring in economics. During that time, five of his closest friends were killed in a helicopter crash while carrying out an army mission. At their funerals, the Rabbi wondered about the seeming futility of life. This tragedy was the catalyst for a complete metamorphosis in the Rabbi’s outlook on the world, and eventually led to him discovering the truth of Torah and mitzvot. Rabbi Arush studied in several yeshivot until he finally found the teachings of Rabbi Nachman of Breslev. Rabbi Arush learned with Breslev giants like Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Bender zt”l and Rabbi Shmuel Shapiro zt”l . Eventually, they urged the Rabbi to move to Jerusalem to begin bringing his fellow Jews closer to G-d. With his teacher’s blessings, Rabbi Arush established Chut Shel Chessed Institutions twenty years ago.

Apr 28, 2021

49:38

A lot's been said about self-care in the world of frum media.

9: Being Content With The Life You Have

May 26, 2021

47:16

Last episode, we asked everyone in our takeaway to think about if life turned out the way you dreamed it would as a teenager, and what you would tell your teenage self about your future. We were really thinking ahead about today’s episode. So here we are: You’re an adult, and this is your life. There are going to be disappointments and dissatisfactions. It’s normal. But now what? How can we be content with the life we have? In this episode we’ll be talking about ways we have come to terms with how our lives are not the exact pictures we painted them to be. We’re also talking with author and Mishpacha Magazine contributor Esther Kurtz about the idea of “Jewish privilege” and how that plays out in our struggles of being satisfied with our lots. By the end of today’s episode we hope you walk away feeling inspired to better appreciate the life you lead, warts and all, and feel more empowered to deal with any interfering thoughts of comparison, inadequacy and disappointment that rob the joy out of life.

We’re all under construction, aren’t we? In this episode, we talk with Ruchi Koval, author Soul Construction: Shape Your Character Using 8 Steps From the Timeless Jewish Practice of Mussar. Her book delves into 8 key traits from mussar teachings, but it really reads like a self-help book as well as a memoir because Ruchi shares parts of her life throughout the book. We give you a behind-the-scenes look into her book through our conversation. In this episode we discuss: How Ruchi’s book is helpful for normal frum women like ourselves, even though it's geared towards a non-religious (and even non-Jewish) audience. Which trait comes easiest to Ruchi, and which trait comes hardest What personal stories to keep and which to keep private when writing a book and being in the public eye The area of self-development that frum women generally struggle with the most We’d love to hear from you.

20: Toxic Positivity

Nov 17, 2021

51:00

Mazel Tov! This is our 20th episode! And it promises to be a good one. Today’s episode is all about toxic positivity. We discuss our understanding of and opinions about this concept, and we’ve invited therapist Yocheved Davidowitz to weigh in on the Jewish perspective towards toxic positivity. What is toxic positivity, you may ask? It's the belief that a person should put a positive spin on all experiences, even tragic ones. No matter how difficult a situation is, one should make sure he or she maintains a positive mindset. Toxic positivity rejects difficult emotions in favor of a cheerful, often falsely positive, facade. Why do we engage in toxic positivity in dealing with others' emotional realities (and our own?) What’s bad about it, and how can we avoid it? We invite you to listen and find out. At the end of today’s episode, we hope you’ll have gained a greater awareness of the difference between positivity and forced positivity, and where optimism, hope and emunah fits in. This is so relevant when we’re faced with the difficult feelings of others, and when we’re faced with managing our own difficult feelings in response to other people’s discomforting emotions. We’d love to hear from you. You can find us on social media, or email us at [email protected].

21: In-Town/Out-Of-Town

Dec 8, 2021

50:42

Today, we’ve got a fun, light-hearted topic for you. In-Town/Out-Of-Town. No, there won’t be any fights here about which one is morally superior. We’re just here to share the experiences of normal frum women who are living in-town and out-of-town, whatever that means. We’re going to be talking with three women: one who lives “in-town”, one who lives “out-of-town” and one who grew up out-of-town but currently lives in-town. We want to share with you their experiences and insights about what it’s like living in these different types of frum communities. What we loved about interviewing these women from different backgrounds and locations is that a lot of these stereotypes simply that: stereotypes. When you actually get to know people you realize that people are people and while yes, they of course are shaped by their environment, we also are individuals with our own individual values and personality traits. So wherever you live, we hope you enjoy this episode! We’d love to hear from you. You can find us on social media, or email us at [email protected].

Modesty: More Than A Dress Code with Jamie Geller

May 12, 2022

47:12

Tznius, or Jewish modesty, is a hot button topic for many frum women. It brings up lots of various feelings. Each frum woman has her own relationship with this value of modesty and its application in our everyday lives, whether it’s how she dresses, how she acts and how she expresses herself. For some it’s a love relationship, for some it’s a hate relationship and for others it’s a love/hate relationship. In this episode of DMC, Alex and Rivki get real about tznius the things they most appreciate about this mitzvah and way of life as well as the things they find most challenging. Their guest, Jamie Geller, chief media and marketing officer at Aish Global and founder and CEO of Kosher Network International, joins this DMC to share her insights on what tsnius means as a public figure. Jamie also shares a bit about her evolving relationship with tznius – as someone who came to observance later in life, and as a mom of teenage girls. We hope that by the end of this episode, you’ll have a newfound appreciation for the middah and mitzvah of tznius from hearing real experiences, honest perspectives and candid reflections.

Five Habits Of Highly Effective Marriages with Kayla Levin

Jul 7, 2022

1:03:11

Tackling the topic of marriage DMC-style, we’re going with the assumption that everyone who is married experiences some sort of struggle or conflict. That there is at least one area in everyone’s marriage that needs improvement. But sometimes when we hear about “habits of highly effective marriages”, we can easily walk away feeling deflated and uninspired, disappointed that we don’t have those “effective habits” in my marriage. In this episode, we speak to Kayla Levin, Jewish marriage coach and the host of the “How to Glow” podcast, about her pick of 5 effective traits of a healthy marriage and what role we can take to make our marriages stronger. Even if we aren’t where we want to be yet, our goal with this episode is for us all to walk away feeling that we have the tools and newfound perspective to get there. We’d love to hear from you.

Jul 21, 2022

1:08:29

Humor is much more than cracking jokes and stand-up comedy routines. Tapping into the full power of humor has emotional and physical therapeutic benefits. It’s also a tool that is sourced in our Torah tradition. All in all, humor is actually good for you, and we wanted to know how we can utilize it more in our everyday interactions to improve our lives. Enter Yaffa Palti, who uses humor masterfully in her shiurim and social media content. As you’ll hear in this episode, Yaffa had us laughing – and we definitely felt great after this interview! In this episode of DMC you’ll hear: How and why Yaffa uses humor professionally and personally Why humor is important to our mental health Why humor is important in our relationships How we can integrate humor if we’re not naturally funny We’d love to hear from you.

Work-Family Synergy With Dean Marian Stoltz-Loike

Aug 25, 2022

48:19

For this episode, we’re going with “work-family synergy” instead of the ubiquitous “work-life balance.” Why? Because balance, quite literally, means 50/50. And we all know when it comes to work and home life, that’s not always realistic or ideal. Synergy connotes a combination, hopefully one that is mutually advantageous. And it doesn’t tell us that our work and our home life needs to be balanced. Sometimes it’s combined in a chaotic mixture! Join us for this DMC with Dr. Marian Stoltz-Loike who is the Dean of Touro’s Lander College for Women and guides young women not only on their educational journeys, but also in finding ways to balance work, family and community. In this episode of DMC you’ll hear:The challenges facing frum women in careers, trying to juggle professional and domestic responsibilitiesTips about managing school/work and familyHow women can know how and when to contribute communally We’d love to hear from you.

We often throw around the word “perfectionism”, but what does it actually mean? What’s the difference between perfectionism and being meticulous and conscientious at work or at home? What is perfectionism, and how does a person become perfectionistic? We ask all these questions and more to our guest, Dr. Danielle Dragon, a psychotherapist in Chicago who has her finger on the pulse of the challenges so many of us grapple with. On this DMC we discuss: Why Dr. Dragon feels that this is an important topic to discuss with our DMC audience The definition of perfectionism and how it forms How perfectionism manifests in a person’s daily life The challenges perfectionism poses for mothers and wives Tips to deal with perfectionism Dealing with disappointments and dashed dreams when life doesn’t pan out “perfectly” We love hearing from our listeners.

Breaking the Mold with Raizy Fried

How do we break the mold? How do we change our bad habits, attitudes and self-perceptions that aren’t serving us and redefine how we show up in the world? Is self-transformation even possible? Raizy asked these questions when she embarked on a personal journey of self-discovery. She recorded it and her takeaways in her new book, The Anatomy of a Yenta: Break the Yenta Mold, Embrace Dignity, and Create an Elegant Life. We’ve brought Raizy on to DMC (for the second time!) to share her story and give us insights into how we can embark on our own self-transformation journeys.

You’ll leave this DMC feeling inspired, empowered and enlightened.

Embracing Conflicting Emotions with Sara Eisemann

Sep 9, 2024

1:09:29

Life is complicated, and with life experiences come complex emotions. But embracing conflicting emotions with strategies such as paradoxical thinking can make all the difference. This is the topic that therapist, dating coach and columnist Sara Eisemann wanted to DMC with us on this episode because she knew the life-changing impact of “both/and” thinking, which looks something like this: “I’m both so grateful for my son’s bar mitzvah and overwhelmed hosting my family.” Instead of fighting those conflicting emotions, we embrace them – and drop the guilt. You’ll learn about this and more in this fascinating conversation. In this episode we discuss: What Sara’s aims to accomplish in all the work she does, from clinical therapist to Family First columnist to Director of Education for Core. What “both/and” means and how it can be applied to life experiences Typical paradoxes in our lives and how we can make space for them How to handle negative emotions in a healthy way The role of acceptance We love hearing from our listeners.

Addressing Communal Issues Honestly with Keshet Starr

Aug 11, 2024

1:10:14

Can we be honest for a minute? Of course we can, we’re having a DMC! So let’s get real about being honest about communal issues. In other words, we know our community isn’t immune to its share of societal challenges, but is it possible to be sincere in acknowledging the issues while sincerely trying to improve them? And while we’re being honest about the problems, how can we maintain emunah and positivity as we’re face-to-face with those challenges? We discuss these questions and more with Keshet Starr, CEO Of ORA, the Organization for the Resolution of Agunot. Keshet is an attorney, author, activist, speaker and nonprofit leader. She’s one of those people in the trenches doing the work but has managed to maintain her sensitivity, sincerity and emunah. Keshet is a true role model in many ways. In this DMC we discuss, How Keshet got into the work of agunah advocacy How we can be honest about real issues in the community while maintaining positivity and emunah The first steps in making changes once we’ve identified a problem Effective and ineffective methods of making change Keshet’s opinion on grassroots efforts in the community How Orah has been successful in implementing change & what Keshet’s learned Keshet’s advice for those looking to improve an area in their community We love hearing from our listeners.
