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.

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.

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.

Here's a bit more context on what this podcast is and how I'm thrilled to take interviews to the next level. Let's be curious together and really get to know some of the most amazing people in the world. Lchaim.

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.

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.

A Jewish Divorce Mediator Shares What She Sees Behind Closed Doors
A Jewish Divorce Mediator Shares What She Sees Behind Closed Doors
Dec 24, 2025
1:24:14
We explore one of the most sensitive and least discussed topics in Jewish life: money and marriage. • Why do so many couples avoid talking about money? • What do fights about money really represent? • How can couples build financial trust and literacy before and during marriage? • What role should community education play in preparing young people for real-world financial responsibility? To unpack all this, we sat down with Sarah Nissel, an attorney, law professor at Pepperdine, and Executive Director of the Jewish Divorce Assistance Center of Los Angeles. After mediating over 300 divorces, Sarah has learned what truly makes (and breaks) relationships when it comes to money + how self-awareness, communication, and education can prevent heartbreak. She shares candid lessons from the front lines: how to talk about money without shame, how to manage conflict constructively, and why the chuppah isn’t the finish line, it’s the starting line. It’s a powerful, eye-opening conversation about emotional intelligence, financial transparency, and Torah values in Jewish relationships — not just how to avoid divorce, but how to build marriages that actually thrive. 👉 ✬ SPONSORS OF EPISODE 105 ✬ ► TWILLORY – Premium menswear that looks sharp and feels even better.

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.

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.

R' Yitzchok Aharon Pinkesz: Kosher Astrology Is Real & It Will Change How You See Hashem
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.

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.

Now a 7th-degree black belt, Emunah life coach, and founder of the Hitbodedut Spiritual Boot Camp, Sunny channels that early pain into purpose - teaching others how to find strength, peace, and clarity through personal prayer, faith, and self-discipline.

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).

In our latest episode of Kosher Money, we sit down with Rabbi Shais Taub — one of the most sought-after Jewish thinkers of our time — to explore one of life’s most misunderstood topics: money.What's the deal with Jews AND money? Should we care what people say about it? Is money spiritual or material? Why does the Torah’s view of wealth differ so radically from society’s?In this eye-opening and deeply soulful conversation, Rabbi Taub reveals that money is not evil — it’s energy. It’s potential that can build worlds or burn them down.Eli said it was one of the top five conversations he's ever had in his life. You'll see why.

1:17:26
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).

In our latest episode of Kosher Money, we dive into one of the most stressful and expensive parts of American life: healthcare. • Why are families paying $48,000 a year just to stay insured? • Why does the system feel so broken? • Is there another way? To help us figure it out, we sat down with Moishe Katz, the CEO of United Refuah Healthshare, a Jewish healthshare that’s helping families get real medical care without drowning in costs. We talk about how it actually works, who it helps (and who it doesn’t), and what it means to take healthcare back into the hands of our community.

Meilech Kohn: From Homelessness Back To Hasidic Judaism
Meilech Kohn: From Homelessness Back To Hasidic Judaism
Jun 10, 2023
1:16:04
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.

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.

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.

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!

Rabbi Yitzi & Dina Hurwitz: Our 10 Year Journey with ALS
Feb 18, 2023
1:06:19
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.

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.

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 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.

Dr. Moshe Katz: A Holy 99-Year-Old's Lessons on Life

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!!
