She Lost Her Son in a Terror Attack on the Brooklyn Bridge – Deborah Halberstam’s Story In this deeply emotional and powerful episode, Deborah Halberstam shares the heartbreaking story of her son Ari Halberstam, a 16-year-old yeshiva student who was murdered in a 1994 terror attack on the Brooklyn Bridge. Deborah recounts Ari’s unique upbringing, his deep connection to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and the chilling events leading up to the attack that took his life. She opens up about her personal grief, her years-long battle for justice, and how she transformed tragedy into activism—shaping counterterrorism policies and founding the Jewish Children’s Museum in Ari’s memory. This is more than a story of loss—it's a story of strength, legacy, and the unwavering spirit of a mother who refused to let her son be forgotten.

In this wide-ranging and deeply honest episode, Dovid Bashevkin unpacks one of the most pressing and overlooked issues in the Jewish world today: the fragmentation of the Orthodox community and the illusion of unity we like to project. With humor, vulnerability, and rare clarity, he explores why we’re lonelier than ever despite packed shuls and buzzing WhatsApp groups, how labels like “Modern Orthodox” and “Yeshivish” have shifted from ideological statements to institutional shorthand, and what it would actually take to foster real achdus, not just feel-good unity, but the kind that demands humility, discomfort, and real work.   Dovid doesn't just point to problems; he calls for a fundamental shift in how we build community, raise children, and see ourselves in relation to other Jews. He challenges the frum world to stop outsourcing spiritual leadership to secular institutions and to reclaim the responsibility of engaging with the entire Jewish people, across lines of observance, geography, and history. This conversation dives deep into questions of identity, leadership, and personal responsibility, offering a sobering yet hopeful vision for what Jewish life could look like if we stopped waiting for the shofar and started living like redemption is already possible.   This episode was made possible thanks to our sponsors: ►Blooms Kosher   Bring you the best Kosher products worldwide.   https://bloomskosher.com     ► PZ Deals - Download the app and never pay full price again!     https://app.pz.deals/install/mpp   ► Colel Chabad Pushka App - The easiest way to give Tzedaka    https://pushka.cc/meaningful        ► Toveedo     Visit- https://toveedo.com/   Use Promo Code MM10 for 10% off!   ► Lalechet     We're a team of kosher travel experts, here to carry you off to your dream destination swiftly, safely, and seamlessly in an experience you will forever cherish.    https://www.lalechet.com   ►Rothenberg Law Firm   Personal Injury Law Firm For 50+ years!   Reach out Today for Free Case Evaluation   https://shorturl.at/JFKHH   ► NRS Pay - Honest, clean credit card processing.   https://nrspay.com   ► Town Appliance - Visit the website or message them on WhatsApp     https://www.townappliance.com     https://bit.ly/Townappliance whatsapp   ► Faith It Till You Make It Join Rabbi Ari Bensoussan’s course on Bitachon sponsored by Censible Marketing!

Yishai Fleisher joins Nachi Gordon for a powerful conversation that dives deep into the heart of Am Yisrael. Broadcasting from the diaspora, but with his soul in Israel, Yishai opens up about the war with Iran, his personal longing to return to the front lines, and the spiritual and political crossroads facing the Jewish people today.  From his work in Chevron and his role as a councilman in Efrat, to organizing international tours with figures like Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, Yishai shares the mission behind his advocacy for a stronger, prouder Jewish state. This episode explores the challenges and opportunities of Aliyah, the erosion of Israel’s global narrative, the beauty and struggle of sovereignty, and why taking small steps—like buying an apartment or drinking Israeli wine—can anchor the Jewish future in Eretz Yisrael. It's a passionate, no-holds-barred discussion about Jewish identity, responsibility, and the road ahead.

In this deeply emotional and inspiring conversation, Siporah Sassoon shares her harrowing story of surviving a tragic house fire that claimed the lives of her seven siblings. She opens up about the trauma, the long road to physical and emotional recovery, and how her unwavering faith in Hashem has carried her through the darkest of times. A decade has passed since a tragic house fire ripped through Sipora Sassoon’s home in Brooklyn, claiming the lives of her seven siblings. Sipora survived—but not easily. She was hospitalized with severe burns covering nearly half of her body, and at one point “didn’t know her siblings were gone” as she fought to recover. In this deeply poignant episode, Siporah revisits the night of the fire: She shares what she remembers of waking from smoke-choked darkness. She describes waking up in a hospital burn unit, relearning to breathe and walk—and how, at first, she didn’t understand the full extent of her loss . Siporah speaks with incredible honesty and strength about grief, healing, survivor’s guilt, resilience, and rediscovering joy. She reflects on her siblings’ lives, her relationship with Hashem before and after the tragedy, and the message she wants to carry forward in their memory.

In this riveting episode, Rabbi Joey Haber sits down with Nachi Gordon for an unfiltered, thought-provoking conversation that tackles some of the most pressing—and often taboo—questions in the Jewish world today. What does it really mean to live a Torah life in a world obsessed with status? How can we tell the difference between true mitzvah and materialism? Are we setting up our youth for failure by defining success through narrow expectations—like the 3-to-5-year Kollel rule? From the Syrian and Ashkenazi community dynamics to financial pressures, lavish weddings, and the emotional toll of the shidduch process, Rabbi Haber addresses it all—with clarity, humility, and refreshing honesty. This is more than a conversation—it’s a mirror for our values and a wake-up call for our assumptions.   This episode was made possible thanks to our sponsors: ►Blooms Kosher   Bring you the best Kosher products worldwide.   https://bloomskosher.com   ► PZ Deals - Download the app and never pay full price again! https://app.pz.deals/install/mpp ►Toveedo Visit- www.toveedo.com   Use Promo Code MM10 for 10% off! ► Superior CS Group Looking to cut overhead and boost productivity without sacrificing quality?

From his early years in Teaneck, NJ, to his transformative time at Yeshivat Sha’alvim in Israel, Donny stood out for his warmth, discipline, and inclusivity.

Rabbi Kalish and Nachi Gordon sit down for the first ever live audience podcast at the Pesach at Bordeaux program.

In this episode, we speak with Michal Lobanov, the wife of Alexander (Alex) Lobanov HY’D, who was abducted by Hamas on October 7, 2023, while working as the head bartender at the Nova Music Festival near Kibbutz Re’im.  Alex was a devoted father from Ashkelon, caring for his physically disabled parents and supporting his wife Michal, who was five months pregnant at the time of his abduction. Tragically, after enduring months of captivity, Alex was murdered by Hamas, and his body was recovered from a tunnel in Rafah on August 31, 2024. In this heartfelt conversation, Michal shares her journey of grief, resilience, and the challenges of raising their two children, including the child born during Alex’s captivity. She reflects on the profound impact of the October 7 attacks, the enduring pain of losing Alex, and her determination to honor his memory. This episode sheds light on the human cost of terrorism and the strength required to navigate unimaginable loss. Join us as we listen to Michal’s story—a testament to love, courage, and remembrance.

In this powerful interview, we sit down with Rabbi Yehoshua Soudakoff, a trailblazing deaf rabbi, to discuss his journey, the challenges he has faced, and the impact he is making in the Jewish Deaf community worldwide. He shares his experiences growing up deaf in a hearing world, his path to becoming a rabbi, and the work he is doing to make Torah and Judaism more accessible. There are an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 Deaf and hard-of-hearing Jews in Israel and around 40,000 to 50,000 worldwide, with communities in the U.S., Europe, and Russia. Many face limited access to Jewish education, Torah learning, and religious services due to a lack of sign language resources. Organizations such as the Jewish Deaf Foundation and The Israel Deaf Community Center are working to bridge this gap and create more inclusive opportunities. This conversation is both inspiring and eye-opening, offering a glimpse into the resilience, faith, and dedication of Rabbi Soudakoff and the broader Jewish Deaf community.

From Evangelical Missionary to Orthodox Jew: This is Shannon Nuszen's Unbelievable Journey! In this powerful interview, Shannon Nuszen shares her extraordinary transformation from being an evangelical missionary—trained to convert Jews—to embracing Orthodox Judaism. Raised in a fundamentalist Christian family, Shannon later joined the Christian messianic movement, working with missionary groups targeting Jews, but eventually converted to Judaism and now regrets her past involvement. What led her to question her beliefs? How did her deep dive into Jewish texts change everything? What challenges did she face in leaving Christianity and converting to Judaism? With over 15 years in the counter-missionary field, she educates Jewish communities about missionary tactics. She founded Beyneynu, an organization that monitors missionary activity and raises awareness among Jewish leaders. Now, through her organization Beyneynu, she works to protect Jewish communities from deceptive missionary tactics. This is an important mission, as the there are more and more Jews converting to Christianity. In 2015, there were 15,000 Jews belonging to Messianic congregations here in Israel – as of 2020, there were more than 30,000 reported. Beyneynu has watched this community grow from 120 Messianic congregations and outreach programs to over 300, and there are currently over 200 websites dedicated to converting Jewish people to Christianity, mostly through media in English, Hebrew, Russian, and Arabic. https://beyneynu.com This episode was made possible thanks to our sponsors: ► PZ Deals - Download the app and never pay full price again! https://app.pz.deals/install/mpp ► Eretz Hakodesh - Vote to Keep Israel Holy!

In this episode, we sit down with Chaim Cohen, who shares his powerful journey from a secular upbringing to embracing Orthodox Judaism. Chaim recounts his early life in a non-Jewish neighborhood in Sharon, Massachusetts, where football became an outlet for his anger and a shield against bullying. Despite his bar mitzvah, he felt disconnected from his Jewish identity, viewing it as a burden rather than a blessing.   Chaim’s life took a dramatic turn when a seemingly ordinary football game triggered a deep reflection on his Jewish roots. His story is a testament to the transformative power of faith, as he describes the moment that propelled him to rediscover his heritage, don tefillin, and ultimately, dedicate his life to Torah study. This conversation delves into the struggles and triumphs of finding one's spiritual path and the impact of perseverance and commitment to personal growth.   Join Meaningful Minute + for exclusive content + more! https://chat.whatsapp.com/KWSjnaYDjUlDFpyyjPBpav     ►Skive   Customized Software Without The Custom Price Tag   Skive works with a variety of tools, including ClickUp, Monday.com, Smartsuite, Airtable, DocuSign, Pipedrive and more!   Book a call with Zalman here https://calendly.com/zalman-skive/30min   Reach out to Skive at [email protected]   Join the Skive Exploring Software Tools What's App chat here    https://chat.whatsapp.com/D4L1UdOmanZFq7mOdPVmwx     ►Colel Chabad Pushka App   The easiest way to give Tzedaka download the Pushka app today    https://pushka.cc/meaningful   ►Toveedo   The Jewish videos your kids will love all in one happy place!    Stream unlimited videos on your phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, and smart TV.    From new releases, to your favorite classics, and exclusive originals, there’s always something new to discover.   Use MM10 for 10% off     See our full library on https://toveedo.com   ►Nishmat, The Jeanie SchottensteinCenter for Advanced Torah Study   New Classes Start Srptember 8th!   For full class and registration, go to    https://2ly.link/1zLOz     ►Town Appliance    Visit https://www.townappliance.com   Message Town Appliance on WhatsApp: https://bit.ly/Townappliance whatsapp   ►🚘 Win the Tesla of your choice or $50K in the Tesla Raffle!       Limited Time: Save BIG on raffle tickets with code MPP       $25 off 2 Tickets       $500 off 15 tickets       https://ccraffle.com       Code- MPP   ►ILS Title   Infinity Title: Titles without stories.   When your real estate transaction is protected through Infinity, you get meticulous coverage, clear communication, and zero drama—title after title after title.   Visit https://Ilstitle.com   Subscribe to our Podcast    Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2WALuE2        Spotify: https://spoti.fi/39bNGnO        Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/MPPGooglePodcasts        Or wherever Podcasts are available!       Editor: Sruly Saftlas
