Mayer Weiss grew up completely Mexican — and today he’s a Hasidic Jew living in the Orthodox Jewish world.  In this emotional and wild Jewish and Joyful podcast interview, Mayer shares the unbelievable true story of how a Mexican teen searching for meaning found himself drawn to Orthodox Judaism, Shabbos, and a completely different way of life. From his mother being arrested by ICE… to secretly keeping Shabbos at home…  This isn’t just a story of religion. It’s a raw conversation about identity, family, pain, truth, purpose, and searching for meaning. Thank you to our sponsors: ►Twillory: The Best Shirts and Polos - Get ready for the summer.

Meilech Kohn grew up Jewish, raised in a deeply Chasidic world. After years of bullying and pressure, he walked away from Judaism — and his life completely collapsed. Meilech became homeless. He struggled with drugs. He lost everything he once had. And then… he came back. In this raw and honest episode, Meilech shares the shocking reality of what happened after leaving a religious Jewish life — including encounters with police, time spent in jail cells, surviving homelessness, and the toll it took on his mental health. We talk openly about addiction, trauma, identity, and what it feels like to completely lose yourself. Before everything fell apart, Meilech was a popular Jewish singer, performing and recording music while living a very different life. Meilech shares the full story of how he found his way back — to his family, his Jewish roots, and his sense of self — after hitting rock bottom.This is a powerful Jewish story of collapse, survival, and return.
