Why Jewish Life Feels So Expensive These Days
Why Jewish Life Feels So Expensive These Days
Mar 25, 2026
1:36:13
Why does Orthodox Jewish life feel so expensive these days? In this deeply thoughtful conversation, Rabbi Chaim Zvi Senter shares his perspective on money, family pressure, entitlement, resilience, emunah, and the rising cost of Jewish life. From housing in Israel to tuition, kollel support, fundraising culture, and the pressure parents feel to keep up, Rabbi Senter offers clarity, warmth, and hard truth. Drawing on decades of life in Eretz Yisroel, he speaks candidly about what has changed, what hasn’t, & where many families are quietly struggling. Why do so many parents feel overwhelmed by the financial expectations of frum life? Are children becoming entitled or are adults simply afraid to say no? Should every child be sent to learn in Israel, even when the cost is crushing? And what happens when tzedakah starts to feel more like gambling than giving? Along the way, Rabbi Senter speaks about visiting children learning in Israel, raising emotionally healthy and resilient families, and how to strengthen emunah when money feels tight and the future feels uncertain. He also addresses the cultural messages we are sending our children through the luxuries we normalize, the prizes we offer, and even the way we fundraise. Let's not lose sight of what really matters!

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.

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.

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.

Jan 31, 2026
1:14:23
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.

Iris (& Tuval) Haim: Forgiving The Soldier Who Accidentally Killed My Hostage Son
Iris (& Tuval) Haim: Forgiving The Soldier Who Accidentally Killed My Hostage Son
Mar 7, 2026
1:21:19
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.

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.

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.

Survivor Omer Wenkert recounts his 505-day Hamas captivity, including 197 days in total isolation underground after being kidnapped from the Nova Music Festival on October 7.

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!

She talks about the confusion, the judgment, and the quiet strength it took to hold her family together while figuring out who she was.

His stories resonate across generations, weaving together faith, humor, vulnerability, and timeless wisdom.This year, Rabbi Gold premieres his new Tisha B’av film, which centers on the mysterious fate of the Temple menorah. The film follows an unforgettable journey to uncover where the menorah might be hidden and why its discovery could change everything.

The Hidden Pressure Your Kids Feel About Money
The Hidden Pressure Your Kids Feel About Money
Mar 18, 2026
1:43:51
Why do kids feel like everyone else has more? In this thoughtful and eye-opening conversation, Rabbi Ari Schonfeld shares practical insights on parenting, money, social pressure, and how children develop their sense of self in a world filled with comparisons. From growing up in a home with very little, to leading a yeshiva and running a summer camp, Rabbi Schonfeld offers a rare perspective on what kids actually notice about money — and what parents often underestimate. When do children start comparing themselves to others? Why do brands, vacations, and clothing suddenly matter so much? And how can parents raise kids who feel confident and proud of their values, even when they can’t have everything their friends have? Along the way, Rabbi Schonfeld shares powerful stories about childhood, school environments, parenting challenges, and one unforgettable moment when a teenager said something that stopped him in his tracks: “I don’t want his trips. I want him.” This is an honest conversation about money, parenting, pressure, and what kids really want from the people raising them. I’m grateful to have had this conversation with Rabbi Ari Schonfeld.

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.

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/?

Baruch Levine: Rebbi by Day, Legendary Singer by Night
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. He currently resides in Waterbury Connecticut along with his family and is also a Rebbe at the Yeshiva K’tana of Waterbury.

He's Warning Jews About Fake Segulos (and Revealing Which Really Work)
He's Warning Jews About Fake Segulos (and Revealing Which Really Work)
Jan 21, 2026
1:45:03
This episode of Kosher Money is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. For the first time ever, our guest, Reb Binyomin Gringras, speaks publicly about the inner secrets he’s uncovered after years of scouring hundreds of little-known seforim and speaking with thousands of Torah giants and hidden tzaddikim. Reb Binyomin dives deep into the mysterious world of segulos — ancient Jewish customs believed to bring blessing and success. He shares which ones are real and which are made up. We cover segulos for wealth, children, health, lost items, and much more — plus the power of visiting a tzaddik’s kever and what to daven for there. He also reveals the story of a 19th-century tzaddik who died young but left behind a spiritual masterpiece — a book now being rediscovered that shares practical life advice with profound insights. By the end, you’ll hear stories that will leave your jaw on the floor.

R' Yitzchok Aharon Pinkesz: Kosher Astrology Is Real & It Will Change How You See Hashem
R' Yitzchok Aharon Pinkesz: Kosher Astrology Is Real & It Will Change How You See Hashem
Nov 22, 2025
1:22:12
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.

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!

David Tenenbaum: The FBI's Most Wanted Jew
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.

Inspector Richie Taylor: The Highest Ranking Orthodox Jewish Cop
Inspector Richie Taylor: The Highest Ranking Orthodox Jewish Cop
May 20, 2023
1:03:56
Inspector Richie Taylor is the highest-ranking officer within the New York Police Department (NYPD) who proudly wears a yarmulke as part of his uniform. Standing at an impressive six-foot-three, his yarmulke adds to his already commanding presence. Despite visibly standing out as a frum Jew, Inspector Taylor confidently embraces his identity, feeling at ease among his colleagues. The NYPD, consisting of over 38,000 personnel, surpasses the combined size of the three largest police departments in the country. Among this vast force, only around 300 individuals hold the rank of captain. Achieving the rank of captain at the young age of 34, Richie Taylor's promotion is a testament to his exceptional capabilities and distinguished career. He stands as one of the youngest captains in the history of the NYPD. In this week's episode, we discuss how a frum Jew climbed the ranks, the power of Jewish pride and how a village builds a person. ✬ SPONSOR OF THIS EPISODE ✬ ▶ THE NATION'S FAVORITE STATUS "Sparks Of A Nation" gives you an inside glimpse at the most epic scenes from the Jewish Nation.

The Hidden Pressure Your Kids Feel About Money
The Hidden Pressure Your Kids Feel About Money
Mar 10, 2026
1:43:21
Why do kids feel like everyone else has more? In this thoughtful and eye-opening conversation, Rabbi Ari Schonfeld shares practical insights on parenting, money, social pressure, and how children develop their sense of self in a world filled with comparisons. From growing up in a home with very little, to leading a yeshiva and running a summer camp, Rabbi Schonfeld offers a rare perspective on what kids actually notice about money — and what parents often underestimate. When do children start comparing themselves to others? Why do brands, vacations, and clothing suddenly matter so much? And how can parents raise kids who feel confident and proud of their values, even when they can’t have everything their friends have? Along the way, Rabbi Schonfeld shares powerful stories about childhood, school environments, parenting challenges, and one unforgettable moment when a teenager said something that stopped him in his tracks: “I don’t want his trips. I want him.” This is an honest conversation about money, parenting, pressure, and what kids really want from the people raising them. I’m grateful to have had this conversation with Rabbi Ari Schonfeld.

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.

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.

Meilech Kohn, originally named Elimeilech Kohn, grew up in a Satmar family residing in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. He is the first cousin of renowned singer Lipa Schmeltzer. Although he initially distanced himself from the Hasidic community of his upbringing, he later returned to it during his adult years. This personal journey is reflected in his music, which encompasses a diverse range of influences such as Techno music, Mediterranean pop, hints of trip-hop, and the melodic tapestry woven from a life enriched by travel, attentive listening, and emotional vulnerability. In 2016, he achieved unexpected success with his popular song "VeUhavata," propelling him from relative obscurity to fame. Meilech has been homeless, divorced, and running away from his community for many years and his story of teshuva is one of a kind. ✬ SPONSOR OF THIS EPISODE ✬ ► TWILLORY: Get $18 off your first purchase of absolutely comfortable clothing for today's casual professional look.

How to Invest Wisely in 2026

We dive into one of the most important parts of personal finance: building wealth that actually lasts.- Is it possible to grow wealth quickly?- How can ordinary people invest wisely in 2026?- What does it really mean to “pay yourself first”?- Which investing mistakes do most people make? To walk us through it, we sat down with Jonathan Shenkman, a financial adviser who has spent nearly two decades helping families take control of their money. He explains how to set up savings that run automatically, how to choose the right investment accounts, and why keeping things simple often beats trying to outsmart the market. We also talk about how to organize your accounts, communicate about money with your spouse, and spend in a way that feels both responsible and enjoyable. It is a straightforward, practical conversation that gives real-world guidance (not advice, duh) on how to save, invest, and live with financial peace of mind, with God's help. ► THE BUSINESS ORGANIZER – Feeling stuck in your own business?

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!

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. Surrounded by darkness, he says it was his belief in G-d and in the Jewish people that gave him strength to survive. ► DONATE to ELI to rebuild his life here:→ https://www.charidy.com/sharabi Buy his book (Hebrew): https://a.co/d/9dB6H1G Thank YOU to the Young Israel of Woodmere for facilitating this interview. ✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬► Woodmont College: A Bright Future AheadIf you’re figuring out your next step, look into the online, frum-friendly BS in Computer Programming from Woodmont College.

Feb 19, 2026
1:24:22
What really determines how much money you make?In this wide-ranging and refreshingly honest conversation, Rabbi Reuven Feinstein shares deeply practical Torah insights on livelihood, wealth, hustle culture, Shabbos spending, charity, and the balance between hishtadlus (effort) and bitachon (trust).From growing up with very little, to teaching on a modest salary, to discussing billionaires and million-dollar questions — Rabbi Feinstein challenges the way we think about money. Is working harder the answer? Is wealth a blessing or a test? How much hishtadlus is too much? And does YOUR money even belong to YOU?Along the way, he shares personal stories about Rav Moshe Feinstein, America's leading Rabbi in the previous generation, business ethics, secular education, living within your means, and why Shabbos expenses “don’t count.”I'm so thankful to Hashem that I experienced this conversation.

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.

Aliza Bulow: Triumph in the Face of Tragedy
Aliza Bulow: Triumph in the Face of Tragedy
Aug 6, 2022
1:49:38
Trigger Warning: We discuss suicide in this episode. Yaakov here, I encourage you to listen to this episode. It's one of the most powerful episodes I've ever recorded. Aliza is so strong. Aliza Bulow is the founder and director of Core, an organization that connects Jewish women and strengthens Jewish homes and communities. In addition, she travels regularly to offer guidance, leadership training and strategic planning for Jewish Outreach organizations and Jewish communities throughout the continent. Born to activist parents in the 1960’s, Aliza's community building began early as her upbringing was intensely impacted by her parents’ deep commitment to the civil rights movement. Her own activism took root during her early high school years in the fight for freedom for Soviet Jews. Her passion for Judaism and the Jewish people then took her to Israel where she studied for 2 years at Michlelet Bruria and Hebrew University. With a growing desire to build and contribute, Aliza explored various avenues to serve the State of Israel and finally chose to enlist in the Israeli Defense Forces from 1982-1984, during the first Lebanon war.

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. His activism has not been without peril; Rochman was kidnapped in Nigeria during his quest to connect with the lost tribes of the Jewish people. His escape and survival are considered remarkable.

Mendy Levy: Escaping The Extremist Lev Tahor Cult & Finding Hashem
Jul 8, 2023

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.

At war's end, the piteous, battered remnants of a once proud Hungarian Jewry began making their way back to their hometowns in search of fellow survivors. The Katz family was no different. Or were they? Nine out of ten siblings from one family - an almost unheard of survival rate - escaped death to be reunited. This is their story - and what a story it was! Resourcefulness, courage and amazing acts of heroism, showing kindness to their fellow Jews, at the risk of their own lives; flight, imprisonment, deportation and escape; hope, despair, prayer and faith; these are some of the elements that combine to create a Holocaust saga unlike any you've ever heard before Watch his "9 Lessons" Video here: https://youtu.be/iQVc3iGwzFk Buy his book here: https://bit.ly/44e2twE If you are reading this, please rate our podcast 5 stars :) Lchaim!!
