I wanted to bring Shimi Adar on because behind all the dancing, energy, and positivity is someone with a lot of depth. In this conversation, we talk about peer pressure, self-confidence, kindness, and what it means to stop living for everyone else and start becoming the person Hashem created you to be. Shimi shares stories from her own teen years, the struggles she faced trying to fit in, and the lessons she wishes someone had told her when she was younger. I hope every person listening walks away feeling a little more confident, a little more understood, and a little more excited to be exactly who they are. Support the show

This episode started with a car ride, a 24six playlist, and one song that completely took over our house. After hearing Rabbi Kalish speak about the importance of listening to the music our kids connect to, I decided to follow my daughters’ lead into the world of this generation’s music… and it led me to Zevi. In this powerful conversation, Zevi shares: • how one audition changed his life • the story behind “Push a Little Harder” • how music can reveal emotions we don’t always know how to say out loud • what “celebrate the love and fear” really means • and why sometimes the biggest victory is simply realizing you have something meaningful to share with the world We also talk about grit, vulnerability, creativity, fear, confidence, and why today’s music might actually be revealing something very deep about this generation.

In this episode, Morah Tziri speaks with two truly InKredible Kids. Chaim is a 12-year-old Team Lifeline runner who has already completed the Miami Half Marathon three times. He’s funny, full of energy, and has a message for every kid listening: no one is too young to make a difference. Then, in a surprise twist, Chaim gets to reconnect with Azzi, a boy he met at the marathon, who inspires him deeply. Azzi shares about music, Camp Simcha, life in a wheelchair, and how he faces challenges with simcha and emunah. One runs. One sings. Both keep going. Thank you to our sponsor, WheePlay by SR.

This episode is really special to me. You’re going to meet two girls who are both showing us what strength looks like… just in very different ways. First, you’ll meet Leahla. Right now, she’s going through treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma. And the way she talks about it? The way she carries herself? It stopped me in my tracks. She’s not looking for pity. She’s not calling herself a “nebach.” Her words: “We’re not nebachs. We’re heroes.” And once you hear her explain what that means… you won’t forget it. Then you’ll meet Sari. After her baby sister spent time in the NICU, Sari realized something powerful: She doesn’t just want to learn… she wants to help. She’s already thinking about becoming a nurse one day, maybe in oncology, maybe in the NICU… and the way she talks about caring for people, really seeing them, is something every kid (and adult!) needs to hear. So this episode is about two kinds of strength: ✨ The strength to go through something hard ✨ And the strength to step up and help others through it  👉 When life gets hard… what kind of kid are you? 🎁 Sponsor + Special Features 🎢 Whee Play by SR If you’re looking to upgrade your backyard in a way your kids will actually use… this is it.

She grew up as the daughter of a Nazi… and had never even heard of Jews. In this powerful and emotional episode, Morah Tziri sits down with Hannah, an 89-year-old woman whose story is almost impossible to believe. Born in Germany during World War II to a Nazi officer, Hannah grew up in a home filled with fear, silence, and pain. She had no idea that Jews even existed… until she was 17 years old. What happened next changed the course of her life forever. Hannah shares: What her childhood was really like growing up in a Nazi home  The moment she discovered the truth about Jews  How she eventually built a Jewish life and family  And the message she wants every generation to hear  This is a story about resilience, identity, and the power of choosing a different path, NO MATTER WHERE WE COME FROM! 🎥 For the full experience, watch the video version of this interview on the InKredible Kids YouTube channel. Seeing Hannah share her story brings an entirely different level of impact. You won’t forget this one. Filmed on Pesach in Arizona with Greenwald Caterers and E2 Retreats. Support the show

In this IK Teens episode, Charlene Aminoff shares a powerful message about strength, resilience, and self-worth. This episode was originally recorded live during an IK Teens Zoom session, bringing together teens for a real and meaningful conversation. Through her experience, she speaks about what it means to face challenges, process difficult moments, and choose to grow from them rather than be defined by them. As we approach Pesach — a time of renewal, growth, and personal freedom — this conversation offers a meaningful reminder that real strength comes from within. It’s about how you see yourself, how you respond to challenges, and how you move forward. This episode is for any teen who has ever felt hurt, left out, or unsure of themselves — and is ready to discover their inner strength. 🎥 The full video of this session is available on the InKredible Kids YouTube channel.

In this episode of the InKredible Kids Podcast, you’re going to meet two InKredible kids, Shira and Noah, who both live with diabetes — and you’ll see how the same challenge can look completely different for different people. You’ll hear Shira explain what diabetes actually means in a calm, kid-friendly way. She talks about pumps, beeps, carbs, school, camp, and learning how to manage something big — without letting it define who she is. Then you’ll meet Noah, who brings you right into his world of sports, recess, and real-life moments where diabetes shows up at the most inconvenient times. From getting pulled out of a football game to dealing with beeping devices and juice breaks, Noah shares what it’s really like — with honesty, humor, and heart. This episode is not just for kids who have diabetes. This episode is for you if: • you’re dealing with any kind of challenge • you want to be a better friend • you’re curious about what other kids might be going through • or you need the reminder that you are not your diagnosis As you listen, you’ll learn: • how challenges don’t define you • how technology can help — but courage matters too • how asking “Are you okay?” can make a big difference • and how being a good friend doesn’t mean fixing — it means showing up Shira and Noah show you that you can live a full, fun, meaningful life — even when something hard is part of your story. 💛 Help Spread the InKredible If this episode meant something to you: • share it with a friend, classmate, or family member • follow and rate the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts • tell others about the InKredible Kids Podcast Putting together episodes like this takes many hours of planning, interviewing, and editing — and sharing is the biggest way you help keep this going.
