Yosef Waslow: How Alcohol Addiction Ultimately Led Me to Becoming a Chassid
Jul 11, 2026
1:42:25
Today, Yosef Waslow is a Chassidish husband and father, but his story is far deeper than becoming frum. 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. Yet this conversation isn't really about addiction, race, or even becoming a baal teshuva.✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬► Colel Chabad: Help Families in IsraelMake daily tzedakah part of your routine with the Colel Chabad Pushka App.Yaakov here.

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.

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.

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.

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. Her journey is raw, brave, and full of faith.

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.

The Rat Race Is Killing America
Jun 11, 2026

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.

Mendy Levy: Escaping The Extremist Lev Tahor Cult & Finding Hashem
Mendy Levy: Escaping The Extremist Lev Tahor Cult & Finding Hashem
Jul 8, 2023
45:39
Mendy Levy was born in 2003 in Canada to parents who were members of Lev Tahor, an extremist Jewish cult founded in the 1980s. Shunned by members of other Jewish groups and facing a kidnapping scandal, its leader Shlomo Helbrans had moved Lev Tahor to Canada in the 1990s. Helbrans then moved the group to Guatemala in 2014, in the wake of child abuse investigations in Quebec. Levy escaped the group in 2018 and now splits his time between Canada and New York. Shlomo Helbrans drowned in Guatemala in 2017. US authorities arrested his son, Nachman Helbrans, and other Lev Tahor leaders in late 2018 and 2021. They're currently on trial in federal court in New York on kidnapping and fraud charges, to which they've pleaded not guilty. The remainder of Lev Tahor, which numbers an estimated 300 people, continues to live in Guatemala and has been unsuccessfully trying to move to Iran.

Beri Weber: The Singer And Rosh HaYeshiva
Jun 18, 2022
1:39:50
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.

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.

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.

When I first heard about Rebbetzin Libbi Kakon, I thought the story would be about a remarkable couple who, despite both being deaf, built a yeshiva for deaf and hearing-impaired students. Then I heard the rest of the story. What I discovered was a woman who refused to let life's challenges define her. Together with her husband, Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Kakon, she helped build a unique yeshiva serving deaf students, raised a family, navigated extraordinary challenges, and continued finding ways to help others.

Henchy Cohen opens up about her parents’ divorce - a split that forced her, at just seven years old, to live between two opposite worlds: her father’s Hasidic community and her mother’s secular life. She talks about the confusion, the judgment, and the quiet strength it took to hold her family together while figuring out who she was. Through it all, Henchy never lost her sense of faith or drive - turning a painful divide into the foundation for a life built on clarity, compassion, and conviction.

She shares what daily life in Gaza was really like, why many Gazans are afraid to criticize Hamas, and what happened after she posted her views on TikTok.

She also discusses escaping Gaza, the financial and emotional cost of leaving, and how the conflict impacted her faith, family, and future.

R' Yitzi, known for being the life of the party, and his family were shluchim in California, leading a relatively normal life until Yitzi was diagnosed with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) in 2013. Despite the debilitating nature of the disease, Yitzi continued to compose music and divrei torah with the help of a special computer program. His wife Dina has been an incredible support throughout his illness, and has also shared their story with others in the hope of inspiring and providing comfort to those facing similar struggles. Yitzi's diagnosis was devastating, but he and Dina refused to let it defeat them. They have used their experiences to help others, and have been featured in various media outlets for their inspirational message of faith and resilience. While Yitzi's condition is challenging, their love for each other and their strong sense of community have helped them to face whatever comes their way. They currently live in Los Angelis, California, have 7 children and one adorable grandbaby. • Help support the Hurwitz family here: https://hurwitzfamilyfund.com/ • Read R' Yitzi's Torah here: http://yitzihurwitz.blogspot.com/ • Wear tefillin for R' Yitzi: https://tefillinforyitzi.com/ ✬ SPONSOR OF THIS EPISODE ✬ ▶ Join The SIMCHATIME Revolution Do an act of kindness every day.

Nov 22, 2025

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.

Nosson & Esther Muhr: From a Psych Ward to the Shabbos Table (An Unbelievable Couple Geirus Story)
Nosson & Esther Muhr: From a Psych Ward to the Shabbos Table (An Unbelievable Couple Geirus Story)
Feb 21, 2026
1:09:44
Nosson and Esther Muhr were raised in chaos - abuse, suicide, addiction, psychosis, rejection - and still refused to let trauma decide who they would become. Their path to Judaism stretched over years of setbacks, hospitalizations, lost jobs, and a conversion process that nearly fell apart. They kept going anyway, and today they’re building a simple, committed Jewish life they fought hard to earn. This is a raw story of giyures, emunah, mental health, teshuva, and finding purpose inside authentic Torah life.

R' Ken Spiro: The Best Jewish Response to Christian Hate
R' Ken Spiro: The Best Jewish Response to Christian Hate
Feb 14, 2026
1:04:19
Join Rabbi Ken Spiro for a bold, deeply researched conversation on one of the most debated questions in religious history. Why has Judaism never accepted Christianity? Was “Yushka” (Jesus of Nazareth) truly one historical figure, and what do the earliest historical sources actually say about him? Where do core Jewish beliefs fundamentally diverge from Christian theology? And what does the Torah really teach about the identity and role of the Moshiach?In this powerful and eye-opening talk, Rabbi Spiro breaks down the historical record, examines primary sources, addresses widespread misconceptions, and explores the theological foundations that separate Judaism from other faith traditions. From a traditional Jewish perspective, he explains why Jesus does not meet the criteria of the Moshiach and clarifies what Judaism truly expects from the future redeemer. If you care about truth, history, faith, and Jewish identity, this is a discussion you won’t want to miss. → More From Rabbi Spiro: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rabbikenspiro Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Ssh0Z1PBeMkZ8QZdmMmuo Books: https://kenspiro.com/ ✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬► The Dream Raffle: Win a $1.2 Million Apartment in JerusalemHelp beautiful causes and also walk away with keys to a gorgeous - fully furnished - apartment in Jerusalem (if you win!)Use PROMO code: INSPIRE for $10 OFF + DOUBLE Tickets→ http://bit.ly/4nUg7gV► Real Deal Accounting: Save Money & Make MoneyReal Deal is offering FREE tax strategy session for a limited time!

This episode addresses the reaction that followed Nissim Black becoming Jewish. It also follows the discourse around how antisemitism intensified, including controversies involving Kanye West and Candace Owens. It looks at how those conversations spilled into everyday interactions, changing how people spoke, distanced themselves, or made assumptions. The focus is on identity, conversion, social consequences, and the choice to speak plainly rather than retreat or self-censor.

Rabbi Tovia Singer: Outsmarting Christians at Their Own Game
Rabbi Tovia Singer: Outsmarting Christians at Their Own Game
Jul 29, 2023
1:11:59
Rabbi Tovia Singer is the founder and director of Outreach Judaism, a Jewish counter-missionary organization. It's an international organization that responds directly to the issues raised by missionaries and cults, by exploring Judaism in contradistinction to fundamentalist Christianity. Singer cautions regarding congregations that "are designed to appear Jewish, but are actually fundamentalist Christian churches, which use traditional Jewish symbols to lure the most vulnerable of our Jewish people into their ranks." Outreach Judaism was described by J. Gordon Melton in 2002 as an example of "the current state of Jewish counter-cult activity." In this episode, Rabbi Singer explores where his passion comes from, why Jews for Jesus's mission is counterproductive and how the old testament is the truth.

Elana Silber & Shlomo Mirsky: The Cancer Fight
Oct 15, 2022
58:05
Sharsheret, a national non-profit organization, improves the lives of Jewish women and families living with or at increased genetic risk for breast or ovarian cancer through personalized support and saves lives through educational outreach. Sharsheret was founded in November 2001, four months after Rochelle Shoretz, a 28 year old young Jewish mother, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Immersed within a close-knit Jewish community in northern New Jersey, Rochelle had many offers to help with meals and to transport her sons to after-school programs. What she really wanted, though, was to speak to another young mom who was going to have to explain to her children that she was going to lose her hair to chemotherapy, and what it would be like to prepare for the High Holidays knowing she was facing a life-threatening illness. Though her grandmother had died of the disease, cancer was a taboo subject still not discussed within her family and, she soon recognized, within the Jewish community at large. In this episode, Yaakov speaks to Shlomo, Rochelle's eldest son, about his experiences and challenges with the cancer battle his mom fought. Elana Silber, a close friend of Rochelle & CEO of Sharsheret, joins in to help explain the origin story to the org and how they impacted so many people during the most fifilt time of their lives.

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.

As she reconnects with her Sephardic roots, she faces the challenge of rebuilding her life and faith, while inspiring others with her resilience.This story of self-discovery, spiritual awakening, and unbreakable legacy will leave you questioning what you thought you knew about your own journey and the power of faith.Hear David's podcasts here: https://apple.co/40uUzid Get his son's KOTZK book here: https://bit.ly/4gN4llv Use INSPIRE for 15% OFF + FREE Shipping✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬► Ohr Somayach: Help empower true Jewish identityChanging the world.

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. There was a particular moment, where Yitzie was expressing some of his struggles and thoughts that we wish we could've addressed more and explored. Torah study is of the highest regard to us. Maybe we'll do a full episode about the importance and incredible holiness of the Talmud. Yitzie Ingber guest hosts this episode.

Danielle is a wife, a mother and absolute food lover. She grew up in New York and moved to Jerusalem, Israel 15 years ago and has been trying to get life under control here ever since. That meant figuring out how to run basic errands, do the food shopping, and cooking in a place that does not translate everything into English (Its as if they don’t realize that New York is the center of the world)! So she did what she does best and started making lists. She made lists of everything (ingredients, cooking terms, conversion charts, supermarkets). Besides the regular mothering, wife-ing, food blogging and recipe developing, she also does restaurant and menu consulting and gives cooking demos. In this episode, Yaakov & Gitta sit down with PLC to discuss the proper way to consume media, juggle family life and how Danielle keeps on cooking up awesome content (and food).

Rudy Israel Rochman, born on September 6, 1993, is a notable Jewish-Israeli rights activist recognized for his dedication to enhancing Jewish identity, combating anti-Semitism, and fostering collective unity within Israel. Rochman's military service in the Israel Defense Forces includes roles in the 98th Paratroopers Division, the 35th Paratroopers Brigade, and the 55th Paratroopers Brigade. He has participated in several key conflicts, such as the Gaza–Israel conflict, the 2012 Israeli operation in the Gaza Strip, and the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.

Rabbi & Rebbetzin Tzvi Kushlefsky: Becoming a Father at 88-Year's Old
Jun 29, 2024
39:50
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).

The Piaseczna Niggun was composed by the South African brother in law duo Derech Achim. The song tells the fascinating story of the great Piaseczna Rebbe (whose Yahrzeit is today-the 5th of Cheshvan), his background, his influence, and the rejuvenation of his works after the Holocaust. The background to the writing of this song is just as fascinating. Hope you enjoy. No Internet? No smartphone? No problem!
