The Sisters Chat is back after Pesach, and the girls are sharing real, unfiltered reflections—from the chaos of hosting, the pressure of pulling everything together, and the behind-the-scenes stress no one talks about, to the realities (and occasional disappointments) of Pesach programs. From food shortages to expectations vs. reality, they dive into what Pesach really looked like this year, with all the humor, honesty, and relatable moments that come with it. As they discuss their Pesach read, I’m Not Alone—a book that deeply impacted them over Yom Tov—they’re joined by Naftali, our Nene’s very own husband, and the grandson of the remarkable woman behind the story. What begins as a conversation about a powerful book turns into something much more personal, as Naftali brings his grandmother’s story to life. Through accounts of mesiras nefesh, resilience, and unwavering faith, her life reflects the very themes of Pesach—survival, freedom, gratitude, and the strength of the human spirit. This episode weaves together humor, honesty, and powerful storytelling, leaving you with a renewed appreciation for community, connection, and the stories that carry us forward.
