Rebetzin Sara Rigler: She Was a Hindu Nun for 15 Years Until a Rav Asked Her Real Name
Rebetzin Sara Rigler: She Was a Hindu Nun for 15 Years Until a Rav Asked Her Real Name
Sep 13, 2026
1:18:54
Rebbetzin Sara Yocheved Rigler spent 15 years living in an ashram. She meditated three times a day, taught Vedanta & Hindu philosophy, and served as personal secretary to the guru. She went east searching for G-d. Then one conversation with an Orthodox rabbi turned her whole world upside down. 8 months later, she was studying Torah in Jerusalem. Today she is one of the most widely read Jewish authors alive and a world class Torah teacher. We spoke about those 15 years in the ashram, a life altering (and reincarnation) experience around her fear of having children, and what she found in Judaism that 15 years of Eastern spirituality never gave her. ► BF Design: Building Our Communities BF Design has spent 20 years building Lakewood's shuls, schools, and homes, and they're now doing the same in growing communities across the country.

DISCLAIMER: This episode discusses a challenge that some businesses and individuals have experienced when extending credit or waiting for payment. This is a widespread problem, not specific to one industry, one religion or one group of people. Also, it is vital to emphasize that these experiences should not be understood as reflecting the conduct of the community as a whole. The overwhelming majority of people strive to act with integrity, honesty, and in line with both the law and Torah values. Our goal here is not to stereotype or cast blame, but to have an honest discussion about a real issue. If anybody has specific questions that are relevant to their situation, they should speak to their local Orthodox rabbi. This show is not meant to offer specific halachic or legal guidance in any way, shape or form. Our hope is that by talking about this with care, we can encourage accountability, strengthen trust, and reinforce the values we all share.At 35, Rivka Brodsky was starting over with eight kids, no work experience, and few computer skills.

R' Eli Riesel Returns: The Untold Miracle That Freed Me From Jail
R' Eli Riesel Returns: The Untold Miracle That Freed Me From Jail
Dec 20, 2025
1:28:57
Rabbi Eli Riesel was a working professional who walked away from everything to return to kollel. What followed was not inspiration overnight, but a life turned completely upside down. He found himself buried under debt projected to last up to 85 years, facing legal pressure, personal collapse, and a future that seemed impossible to escape. As his situation spiraled, he encountered a challenge far greater than money or reputation. Against the unanimous advice of his lawyers, Rav Chaim Kanievsky gave him guidance that defied logic and conventional strategy. Rabbi Riesel faced an impossible choice. Would he listen to the gadol hador, or follow the system that promised safety? His decision led him through federal prison, deep spiritual reckoning, and a survival story few have ever heard. This is the untold backstory of emunah, mesirus nefesh, bitachon, and what it means to rebuild a life when everything is stripped away.

One of America’s premier Jewish scholars in Torah and Jewish mysticism, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak (YY) Jacobson is one of the most popular speakers in the Jewish world today, lecturing to Jewish and non-Jewish audiences around the globe, and serving as teacher and mentor to thousands.

At the conference he was hailed “The Jewish Billy Graham.” In this very special episode, Yaakov got to sit down with Rabbi YY, live, in White Shul in front of hundreds of people, including a live Q&A at the end.

Rabbi Zecharia Wallerstein: Our Father Figure
Rabbi Zecharia Wallerstein: Our Father Figure
May 21, 2022
1:51:56
Rabbi Zecharia Wallerstein ZTL was the founder of Ohr Yitzchak, Ateres Naava Seminary for Girls, and Ohr Naava Women's Institute in Brooklyn, NY. Ohr Naava is a unique program designed for women ages 17 through 120 who are interested in furthering their Torah experience. The program, which was under the leadership of Rabbi Wallerstein, started out as a Wednesday evening class in a small classroom known as a "Chabura." It brought together girls who had just returned from studying in Israel, college students who needed a weekly moment of inspiration, and most of all, Jews of different backgrounds with one common goal, to grow and change. The signature of Ohr Naava is to provide a multitude of programs, absolutely free of charge, for women wishing to make the time to grow, change and further their Torah knowledge. While Ohr Naava’s staff is ensuring that all programming remains in place, it was Rabbi Wallerstein who fundraised its multi-million dollar budget each year. His passing leaves us with the communal responsibility to ensure that Ohr Naava remains solvent, perpetuating the legacy of a man who saw the potential in each girl, treating everyone like a daughter.

David Tenenbaum: The FBI's Most Wanted Jew
Oct 18, 2025
1:31:49
David Tenenbaum was a proud Jewish engineer working for the U.S. Army when his life suddenly turned upside down. Without warning, FBI agents stormed his home, accused him of being an Israeli spy, and tore through his belongings looking for “evidence” that didn’t exist. For years he lived under suspicion, labeled a traitor for nothing more than his faith. He lost his reputation, his security, and nearly his sanity—but never his belief in truth. When the Pentagon finally admitted he’d been targeted because he was Jewish, David’s story became a chilling reminder of what happens when fear replaces justice—and how faith can outlast even the darkest lies.

The Redhead of Auschwitz
The Redhead of Auschwitz
Jun 6, 2022
41:41
Rosie Heilbrun was always told her red hair was a curse, but she never believed it. She often dreamed what it would look like under a white veil with the man of her dreams by her side. However, her life takes a harrowing turn in 1944 when she is forced out of her home and sent to the most gruesome of places: Auschwitz. Upon arrival, Rosie’s head is shaved and along with the loss of her beautiful hair, she loses the life she once cherished. Among the chaos and surrounded by hopelessness, Rosie realizes the only thing the Nazis cannot take away from her is the fierce redhead resilience in her spirit. When all of her friends conclude they are going to heaven from Auschwitz, she remains determined to get home. She summons all of her courage, through death camps and death marches to do just that. Her granddaughter, Nechama Birnbaum knew the world needed to know her grandmother's story. Her book "The Redhead of Auschwitz" is about the intricacies of Jewish culture that still exist today and the tender experiences that are universal to all humanity: family, coming of age, and first love. It is a story that celebrates believing in yourself no matter the odds. This is a story about the little redheaded girl who thought she could, and so she did. Unfortunately, shortly after this interview, Rosie passed away. It is with great sadness but also honor, that we have the opportunity to release an interview with her to help perpetuate her legacy. You can buy her book here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-redhead-of-auschwitz-nechama-birnbaum/1140355747?ean=9789493231795 IG: https://www.instagram.com/theredheadofauschwitz/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theredheadofauschwitz?

R' Reuven Feinstein: An Unscripted Conversation About The Jewish People & What We Are Up Against Today
R' Reuven Feinstein: An Unscripted Conversation About The Jewish People & What We Are Up Against Today
Jan 3, 2026
1:12:44
Rabbi Reuven Feinstein, Rosh Yeshiva of Staten Island and one of the Gedolei Hador, looks back on his childhood growing up in the Bronx, just blocks from Yankee Stadium - where he was beaten for wearing a yarmulke and learned early what it meant to live with emunah and dignity. In this raw and moving conversation, he shares memories of his father, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, the Gadol Hador, describing a home with no ga’avah, no pretense - just Torah, humility, and love. He speaks about antisemitism in 1940s America, the lessons of parenting, leadership, and humility, and how his father’s approach to Torah learning and chesed shaped generations. From stories of the Shabbos table, to his views on mental health, modern challenges, and faith under pressure, this interview is a living portrait of Torah greatness, Jewish resilience, and quiet strength in a world that often forgets both.

So what's actually true? In this episode, we break down the new Trump Account from top to bottom. Who qualifies, how the $1,000 government contribution works, whether it's really "free money," the tax implications, the downsides almost nobody is talking about, and whether this should be your first choice over a 529 plan or Roth IRA - don't worry I explain what those are.

Lucas Gage: The Internet's Most Notorious Antisemite Walks into... Lakewood
Lucas Gage: The Internet's Most Notorious Antisemite Walks into... Lakewood
Jun 13, 2026
1:49:56
The topics discussed in this episode include antisemitism, extremism, hate movements, and personal transformation. Viewer discretion is advised. How does someone go from becoming one of the internet's most notorious antisemites to sitting down in Lakewood for a respectful conversation with Orthodox Jews? In this fascinating and often uncomfortable conversation, Lucas Gage joins Yaakov Langer and Jake Turx to share the story behind his dramatic transformation. After spending more than a decade immersed in online extremism, conspiracy theories, and antisemitic rhetoric, Lucas explains what caused him to question everything he believed and begin a journey few people thought was possible. From radicalization and internet culture to accountability, personal growth, faith, and teshuva, Lucas opens up about the decisions, experiences, and conversations that changed the course of his life. He discusses the dangers of echo chambers, the power of honest dialogue, and why changing your mind can be one of the hardest things a person ever does. What causes someone to embrace hatred in the first place? Can people truly change? How do you rebuild trust after years of promoting harmful ideas? And what happens when the people who once supported you become your biggest critics? Whether you agree with Lucas or not, this conversation explores redemption, self-reflection, personal responsibility, and the courage it takes to confront uncomfortable truths. It is an honest discussion about antisemitism, extremism, identity, forgiveness, dialogue, and the possibility of change.

R' Elimelech Friedman: A Hasidic Marriage Counselor Opens Up

1:02:54
The topics discussed in this episode are intended for a mature audience and may not be suitable for younger viewers. What makes a marriage thrive and what causes it to slowly fall apart? In this raw and honest conversation, Rabbi Elimelech Friedman shares what he's learned from counseling hundreds of Chassidish and Jewish couples over decades. Drawing from years of marriage counseling and relationship guidance, he discusses the challenges couples face in building trust, maintaining emotional connection, and creating lasting love. From communication struggles and recurring conflict to intimacy, infidelity, and marriage repair, Rabbi Friedman reveals the hidden patterns he sees again and again. He explains why some relationships grow stronger through adversity while others drift apart, and how healthy marriages are built through understanding, validation, and consistent effort. Why do good people cheat? What does real intimacy actually mean? How can couples rebuild trust after betrayal or years of emotional distance? And what daily habits strengthen a marriage long before a crisis appears? Whether you're dating, engaged, newly married, or celebrating decades together, this conversation offers practical marriage advice, relationship wisdom, and powerful insights into communication, conflict resolution, personal growth, and building a healthier, more meaningful marriage. It's an honest discussion about Jewish marriage, Chassidish marriage, emotional intimacy, trust, love, and the work required to create a strong relationship that lasts.

Rabbi Tzvi Kushlefsky, a respected rosh yeshiva based in Jerusalem, joyfully welcomed his firstborn son into the world this March at the age of 88. Rabbi Kushlefsky experienced the sorrow of becoming a widower at 82, having never had children with his first wife. He remarried six years later to Mrs. Rochel Daniella, an American woman aged 50 at the time, already a mother to several children. At 88, Rabbi Kushlefsky and his Rebbetzin, now 57, celebrated the birth of their first son together. The joyous event occurred at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, where the baby was born healthy, without any complications, thank God. The streets of Jerusalem near his yeshivas were alive with dancing as the community shared in his happiness. In this episode, I traveled to Lakewood to meet them and to ask them about their faith and trust in Hashem. Oh and to also meet the very adorable Eliyahu (their son).

Raised by a white Jewish mother and a black Baptist father, Yosef battled with alcoholism, fitting in, searching for identity, and eventually found his way to Torah and family.

America is wealthier than ever. We have bigger homes, nicer cars, more technology, more convenience, and more opportunities than any generation before us. So why do so many people feel exhausted? Rabbi Noiky Roberts has spent nearly 30 years teaching, counseling, and helping people from all walks of life. Living outside the United States has given him a unique perspective on the pressures many of us have simply accepted as normal. In this conversation, we discuss the rat race, social media, financial pressure, comparison culture, happiness, family, mental health, and why so many people keep chasing things that never seem to satisfy. Some of what he says may make you uncomfortable. That may be the point. Listen closely and enjoy.

Batyah Furz: How a Filipino Cleaning Lady Became An Orthodox Jewish Princess
Batyah Furz: How a Filipino Cleaning Lady Became An Orthodox Jewish Princess
Jan 24, 2026
1:22:43
Batyah had everything in her life, a close family, a successful career, and a deep connection to Christianity. Then one day, her pastor stood before the congregation and admitted that everything he had been preaching was false. In that moment, her entire world collapsed. But even in the confusion, she felt certain that God was real. She just needed to find the truth. Her search led her to explore Judaism. It meant walking away from her career and leaving her family behind as she traveled from the Philippines to Israel. She took on a cleaning job, a role that was humbling and incredibly difficult, but she accepted it with a simple thought: if this is what Hashem wants from me right now, I’ll do it. From there, her path only grew stronger. She converted to Orthodox Judaism, married an Israeli man who grew up in a very charedi neighborhood, and today she is a proud Jewish influencer living in the United States.

Lipa is one of the most talented artists in the Jewish world. His brilliant lyrics and unique style led him to a quick rise to fame. But Lipa was still figuring out who he was. Schmeltzer's music has both gained popularity due to the fusion of traditional Chasidic music and lyrics with contemporary music styles. His performance range includes "hard-driving rock tunes, jazzy shuffles, pseudo-rap numbers, solemn prayers, klezmer dances and jokey skits, accompanied by a nine-piece band and a troupe of actors". He writes lyrics in English, Hebrew, and Yiddish. Lipa has been going through a journey. After "leaving" his community and going to college, he has returned with a new look at life, his music and himself. Aside for being an incredible artist he is a deeply intelligent and honest person.

I used to think astrology was nonsense - until I met Rabbi Yitzchok Aharon Pinkesz. Rabbi Pinkesz reveals how Judaism and the Torah have always contained a hidden wisdom about the stars - what he calls “Kosher Astrology.” He explains how your birth chart reflects your divine mission, why timing in life is never random, and how God uses celestial cycles to guide human destiny. This isn’t superstition - it’s a deep exploration of how the universe, faith, and free will are intertwined in ways most of us never imagined. We even discuss what Kosher Astrology says about Trump.

Since early 2025, he has battled a rare, life-threatening volvulus (twisted intestines), undergoing multiple emergency surgeries (at least four in 2026), infections, complications, and major lifestyle changes. His illness has strengthened his Jewish journey - crediting Chabad for his growth, proudly observing mitzvos, and remaining committed to Torah, Jewish unity, and Am Yisrael Chai even from his hospital bed.

In this conversation, Rabbi Doron Birnbaum shares personal experiences, practical parenting advice, and insights from years of working with students and families.

The discussion also examines the challenges facing Jewish communities, the importance of modeling pride in one's identity, and why education is essential in combating misinformation.

Sara Braun: Embracing My Identity - A Black Jew's Story of Becoming Hasidic
May 13, 2023
1:18:49
Sara grew up in a small village in the Netherlands where her dark skin made her different from the people around her. Her family practiced Hasidic Judaism, but because her mother was darker than the rest of the family, she faced discrimination and didn't practice the religion. Sara always felt a strong desire to connect with her Jewish roots. After a trip to New York City, Sara decided to move there to pursue her dream of intertwining her body, soul, and mind with Judaism. She arrived with only $400 and a determination to create the life she wanted. Sara's story is an example of how we can take control of our lives and pursue our dreams, despite the obstacles we may face. We had an inspiring conversation about resilience and passion that hopefully encourages you to become your true self and pursue your dreams relentlessly.

R' Yakov Horowitz: How To Protect Our Children (with guest co-host Yitzie Ingber)
R' Yakov Horowitz: How To Protect Our Children (with guest co-host Yitzie Ingber)
Jun 25, 2022
1:18:09
At the age of 3, Yakov Horowitz lost his father. After many years of teaching, he wrote a 4,500 word essay in The Jewish Observer titled “An Ounce of Prevention” on the subject of at-risk teens in the community. The article shocked the Orthodox community and led to an invitation to address the 1996 National Conventions of Agudath Israel of America and Torah Umesorah. It also led to the founding of Project Y.E.S. in 1997, which he is the director. In 1997, Horowitz founded Yeshiva Darchei Noam of Monsey, a child-centered yeshiva, and published Bright Beginnings Chumash and Gemara workbooks that are currently used in over 100 schools. He authored two books on chinuch and parenting and is a regular columnist for The Jewish Press and Mispacha on topics including mental health, social problems, internet usage and child safety. In partnership with ArtScroll, he published a groundbreaking child safety book "Let's Stay Safe,” that is in over 130,000 homes in 3 languages. Horowitz uses social media to warn about sex offenders within the Jewish community and how to avoid them. He recently launched a campaign to get a copy of the safety books in every home, learn more here https://www.childsafetybook.org More books here: https://amzn.to/3hpKdqc And follow him here: https://www.instagram.com/yakovhorowitz/?hl=en And here: http://www.rabbihorowitz.com/PYes/MGFiles/about.cfm PLEASE NOTE: The goal of this show is to help people find themselves and get more connected to Hashem.

Dating in the Jewish world is anything but simple. We sit down with Dovi Neuburger (from Teaneck) & Eli Geller (from Lakewood), for the guys part. Then we (Gitta, my wife joined me) sit down with Nechami Tenenbaum (from Detroit) & Rachel Pekarsky (from Elizabeth, NJ). These four singles have very different experiences and opinions on navigating the shidduch system, dating pressures, and the so-called "shidduch crisis." We delve into: - The unspoken rules of matchmaking - How expectations vs. reality can break people - The stigma of being single in the community - Are matchmakers helping or hurting the process? - The brutal truth about dating apps vs. traditional setups More from Dovi here: His IG: https://www.instagram.com/dovineuburger/?

Judge Rachel Freier, founder of Ezras Nashim, wears many hats on top of paramedic — not least of which is US Civil Court Judge. Elected as Judge in 2016, it was a step up from her career in law, where she was licensed to practice in New York, New Jersey and Washington DC. As a wife, mother, grandmother and longtime community activist, Ruchie — as she is better known — made history as the first Chassidic woman elected to public office, earning an honor from her alma maters, Touro College and Brooklyn Law School. In this episode, Judge Ruchie talks to Yaakov about the hurdles she has faced along her journey, her experiences on TV and a big announcement on an exciting next chapter of her life. * SPONSOR LINKS * Check out Good Faith Effort!

Shai Graucher: The Man Lifting Up Israel’s Most Broken

Rabbi Shai Graucher was known as one of the closest people to Rav Chaim Kanievsky ZTL. His father, Dedi AH, legendary Jewish singer, past away only 7 weeks ago and it left a hole in Shai's heart. He decided to create an organization where he can continue to spread his father's light. After October 7th, Shai kicked everything into high gear. He is by far one of the most impactful people fighting the war by being the backbone and support for thousands of Israeli citizens & soldiers. You would not believe how much B’yachad Nenatzeiach is doing (you probably have seen the whatsapp videos). Personal visits and financial support for the families of victims. Hospital visits to wounded soldiers and citizens. Packages of essentials and toys to displaced families. Tefillin and other religious articles to soldiers and families. Visits to army bases, providing soldiers with provisions, tailored to their specific needs (clothing and gear in their size, etc.). His team even built a laundry machine, portable jacuzzis and more to help.

Baruch Levine: Rebbi by Day, Legendary Singer by Night
Aug 19, 2023
1:15:07
As both the composer and singer of his signature V’zakeini song, Baruch Levine has been said to have literally raised the “bar” of Jewish music. His best-selling albums reflect his diversity of talents as a composer, arranger, and great singer. It is no wonder that it is said about him “Baruch has proven that Jewish Music today can still be meaningful, heartfelt, and yet refreshingly interesting.” Baruch was raised in Toronto, Canada where he composed his first published song at the young age of 13. He has released over 10 musical albums, and most recently 2 volumes of the “Off the Record” nostalgia series which was widely received with great acclaim. His audience spans the globe and Baruch has performed at world class venues in the UK, France, Israel, USA, Africa, and Canada. In January 2021 Baruch performed at the MetLife stadium in New Jersey where he graced a crowd of ninety thousand plus at the 13th Siyum Hashas.

Shulem is the most recent rising star of the Jewish musical tradition that has been intertwined in the life, faith, and culture of the Jewish people throughout their history. Whether it's prayers, psalms, or contemporary classics, this youthful Brooklyn tenor finds in music something rich and affirming, an endeavor that makes the soul soar and the spirit rise and speaks to the human condition. In fact, Shulem feels music aspires to go beyond current historical context to illuminate what he sees as the perfect dream: when the world is at peace. There are some voices that have to be heard – and Shulem’s is one of them. We discuss coping with the loss of his sister, dealing with challenges, the recent rise in antisemitism, how Shulem, a hasidic man, got a deal with a massive record label and what steps to take to change the world. *SPONSOR LINK* Achas Sha’alti 3 is here!

Eli Sharabi (אלי שרעבי) is an Israeli father and survivor who was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and held hostage in Gaza for 491 days. During that time, he endured unimaginable suffering - the murder of his wife Lian, his daughters Noya and Yahel, and the death of his brother Yossi, who was abducted with him and killed in captivity. Despite it all, Eli refuses to give up. He has become a symbol of unshakable resilience and hope. In interviews, Eli shares how his faith didn’t break - it grew.

Iris (& Tuval) Haim: Forgiving The Soldier Who Accidentally Killed My Hostage Son
Mar 7, 2026

On October 7th, Iris Chaim’s son Yotam Chaim was taken hostage by Hamas. For weeks, she held onto hope that he was alive. In an unbelievable turn of events, Yotam escaped captivity - only to be tragically killed by the IDF after being mistaken for a terrorist. In this deeply emotional conversation, Iris and her son Tuval Chaim share how their family faced unimaginable loss and chose a path of faith, resilience, and forgiveness instead of anger. Iris & Tuval opens up about his own struggle with grief, the anger he felt after his brother’s death, and how he ultimately channeled that pain into music, healing, and purpose - continuing Yotam’s legacy. Together, they tell a powerful story about October 7th, hostages, trauma, hope, and the strength of the Jewish spirit - and how one family turned tragedy into a mission to bring unity, healing, and light to the world.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Beri a new-age Chasidic singer, composer, entertainer AND Rosh HaYeshiva (Yes, you read that right). He is a renowned “vocal powerhouse” and gained popularity soon after he began releasing his albums in 2007. However, the debut of his celebrated “Thank You Hashem” gripped the attention of Jewish music fans worldwide. Beri’s music emanates fresh energy in soulful, creative singing. His unique style, inspired by mystical Chassidus, aims to motivate and elevate fans around the globe. Beri began his singing career at age nine. He sang alongside popular musical artists including MBD, Moshe Goldman, and Mendy Werdyger and later joined the Shira Choir. Beri names Shlomo Carlebach and MBD as his major musical influences and was immersed in their music throughout his childhood. Beri draws his musical inspiration from the teachings of R’ Nachman of Breslev and enjoys exploring the Rebbe’s views on the spirituality of music with Reb Lazer Brody, Reb Motta Frank and Reb Itche Mier Morgenstern of Jerusalem. A few years ago, Beri opened a yeshiva for boys who have been mistreated or misunderstood. In this episode, Beri explores where he finds the soul in his songs, where he turns for inspiration and how he balances being a rebbi and a world-famous singer.
