From the Inside Out: Color, Confidence, and God-Given Design with Rivky Duchman
In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein, we introduce guest Rivky Duchman, a Miami Beach color analyst and image consultant who blends aesthetics with Torah and Chassidus. Rivky explains her work uses the face as an “aesthetic blueprint” (skin tone, eyes, hair, contrast, texture, lines, and energy) to identify harmonious colors and styles, helping women develop signature style, reduce insecurity, and avoid trend-driven noise. She outlines seasonal color analysis origins and nuanced subtypes, shares how outside comments can disconnect people from their design, and discusses aesthetics as communication, first impressions, modesty, and dignity, citing stories about Rabbi Ishmael. Rivky supports enhancement tools like makeup or hair color while warning against “distortion,” critiques status-driven trend chasing, and emphasizes that true worth comes from being a part of Hashem and expressing inner beauty outward.

On Serving God, Not Being Religious with Dr. Elad Ben Elul & Rabbi Manis Friedman
In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast, Rivkah and Eda sit down with Dr. Elad Ben Elul and Rabbi Manis Friedman on their book I Didn't Ask to Be Born and its core idea: Judaism isn't about being "religious" or what we need from God, but what God needs from us — asking daily, "What does God need from me today?" Ben Elul shares his Jewish awakening during fieldwork in West Africa, caught between secular Tel Aviv and an enclosed religious world, until Friedman's lecture "Why You Shouldn't Be Religious" reframed Jewish life as mission. Friedman traces this to his outreach starting in 1970 and its path to the book's Israeli success. They cover mitzvot, purpose, soulmates and marriage, hostages who found mission in captivity, teaching Tanya, Chabad's nonjudgment, and audience Q&A on dating, marriage, and identity.

Soul Therapy with Joanne Zagonev: Healing the False Self Through Psychology & Tanya
In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast, with Rivkah and Eda, we introduce clinical psychologist and author Joanne Zagenov, whose book "Soul Therapy" integrates psychodynamic/attachment theory with Tanya. Joanne shares how growing up in a culture that prized intelligence, feeling like an outsider, and early experiences of “not good enough” shaped her pursuit of psychology and later Chassidus through Rabbi YY Keselman, leading to deeper healing. The conversation explores the true self vs false self, healthy authenticity vs narcissistic “do what feels good,” secure attachment and defenses, and the Tanya’s animal soul and godly soul, emphasizing a God-directed life alongside responsible therapy. Joanne discusses sensitivity, anxiety as a coping mechanism, splitting and transference, practical Chassidic tools for low self-esteem, shame, envy, anger, and anxiety, and offers guidance on estranged family relationships.

Letters for Life: Levi Y. Shmotkin on Rebbe’s Guidance for Emotional Health From the Inside Out
In this episode of From The Inside Out with Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein, we interview Levi Shmotkin, author of Letters for Life, a practical guide to emotional health based on the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s letters, recorded in honor of Gimmel Tammuz. Shmotkin shares how his own teen experience of heaviness and apathy led him to the Rebbe’s counseling, emphasizing gratitude, humility, and shifting focus outward through giving and responsibility. He contrasts popular self-help’s self-focus with the Rebbe’s “third way” that validates feelings while expanding the mind toward Hashem and others, including examples from education. He discusses tools like structure and productivity, trust to counter anxiety, hesech hadas (redirecting attention), loneliness as eased through awareness of Divine providence, Torah and halacha as the enduring path to spirituality, discovering purpose, and the Rebbe’s message that “nothing stands in the way of the will.”

Levi Y. Shmotkin
Levi Y. Shmotkin is a Chassidic scholar and author based in Los Angeles, California. His debut book, Letters for Life: Guidance for Emotional Wellness from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, was born from a deeply personal journey — as a teenager, Levi found himself grappling with heaviness, apathy, and a loss of inner spark. It was the Rebbe's letters that became his lifeline, and what began as a private notebook of insights eventually became a book that has resonated with thousands across all walks of Jewish life. A member of Generation Z who never met the Rebbe in person, Levi brings a fresh, relatable voice to timeless wisdom — showing that truth, as he says, is eternal, and the Rebbe's guidance speaks as powerfully today as ever.

Rachel Goldberg-Polin on Faith, Grief, and Meaning After Hersh’s Captivity | From the Inside Out
Hosts Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein interview educator and author Rachel Goldberg-Polin about her book When We See You Again, her family’s life in Jerusalem, and the loss of her son Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was taken hostage from the Nova Music Festival on October 7 and later murdered after 328 days in captivity. Rachel recounts her path into Orthodox Jewish life starting in eighth grade at an Orthodox day school, describes how tefillah and Torah have sustained her, and shares how Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning—relayed to her through released hostage Or Levy—became a tool for enduring suffering by finding purpose. She discusses Modeh Ani, trust in Hashem amid uncertainty, grief as an expression of love, “toxic positivity” versus “tragic optimism,” and verses and teachings that frame this world as a hallway to the next.

Sefirar HaOmer as a Path of Alignment, Growth, and Relationship
In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, we interview Rivkah Mazal Tauber, recommended by Rivky Kaplan, who co-created a Sefira journal.
Rivka, who describes starting an Omer WhatsApp group that transformed her and explains Sefirat HaOmer as a step-by-step journey from Egypt to Matan Torah. She unpacks “Omer” (manna measure, barley offering, forgotten sheaf for the needy) as receiving from God, returning to God, and giving to others, and defines “Sefirah” as counting, story, and shining, framing the Sefirot as divine vessels and soul powers. Using building a business, she maps Keter through Malchut and applies the framework to relationships, procrastination, balancing effort with surrender, and the 49-day count leading to an uncountable 50th, emphasizing that simply counting fulfills the mitzvah and that God meets us in our humanity.

Dr. Edith Eger: Holocaust Survivor on Choice, Freedom, and Healing From the Inside Out
In this episode of From The Inside Out with Rivkah Krinsky & Eda Schottenstein, we're re-releasing an early, cherished interview after Dr. Edith Eger’s death, honoring the Auschwitz survivor, psychoanalyst, and author of The Choice, who taught that while we can’t control circumstances, we can choose our response. Eger recounts liberation after being left for dead, the loss of her parents and first love, guilt about her mother’s death, and how returning to Auschwitz helped her forgive herself. She discusses Viktor Frankl’s influence, finding purpose, sharing rather than hoarding, and distinguishing distress from stress. Eger offers guidance on self-love as self-care, expression as an antidote to depression, revisiting trauma, responding instead of reacting, compassionate listening with children, and building relationships through responsibility, growth, and hope, insisting hate keeps us imprisoned and that love is shown through actions.

Welcome to a new season of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda!
In this time focused on turning inspiration into action during the 49 days from Pesach to Shavuot, we welcome Rabbi Dr. Laibl Wolf. Wolf, a Melbourne-based spiritual teacher blending Chassidus/Kabbalah with psychology, shares his journey from law studies to becoming the first Chabad emissary at the University of Wisconsin in 1969, and later returning to Melbourne at the Rebbe’s directive. He explains the Omer as a yearly “spiral” of spiritual energy for sequential introspection, contemplation, improvement, and change through 49 emotional “shades” of the sefirot, describing how mind guides emotion, how tools can be used by the godly or animal soul, and offering practical examples on balancing chessed and gevurah, managing impulsivity and anger, cultivating positivity (Tracht Gut; Gam Zu Letovah), and Emunah vs. Bitachon, concluding with a guided Modeh Ani meditation.

Finding Inner Freedom on Pesach: Rabbi YY Jacobson on Shame, Surrender & Redemptive Consciousness
This episode is dedicated in memory of Rivkah’s grandfather Mr. Max New, OB"M.
In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, we welcome Rabbi YY Jacobson to discuss why many people lack inner freedom even in good external conditions, emphasizing that freedom requires disciplined inner work: noticing one’s “Egypt,” pausing before reacting, cultivating curiosity, prayer, support systems, and being truly seen. Jacobson explores destructive vs. holy shame, Tanya’s model of distinguishing animal and divine consciousness, surrendering control to God without surrendering to abuse, and experiencing embodied oneness as redemptive consciousness. He also contrasts revealed and hidden miracles (Pesach vs. Purim), reflects on current events and collective resilience, and highlights softening the heart, authenticity, and non-transactional relationships.

Dr. John Delony on Anxiety, Marriage, and Turning Insight into Action
In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, we welcome Dr. John Delony to discuss how lasting change requires action, not just insight. Delony connects his approach to lessons from his father, a homicide detective and hostage negotiator who moved toward crisis, and his mother, who began college at 42 and earned a PhD at 57. He argues anxiety is an internal alarm system and that money, anger, and relationship problems often signal deeper issues beneath surface labels. Delony critiques cultural narratives that prioritize feelings and overload romantic partners amid widespread loneliness, urging couples to build friendship, service, and practical “repair” strategies. He recommends choosing reality through honest inventories, building trusted connections (including “outsourcing” perspective to reliable people), and prioritizing health, sleep, and faith. The episode includes sponsorship messages for Colel Chabad’s Pushka app and Shefa Living’s Mountain View community.

Self-Mastery in Real Life: Regulation, Trust, and the Shift from Control to Connection
In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, we sit down with Velvel & Chyena Friedman for a powerful conversation on what real success looks like when it’s built on faith, family, and unshakable values. Velvel shares his unconventional journey—from a full-time yeshiva education and Rabbinical ordination to scoring a perfect 180 on the LSAT and stepping into high-stakes litigation—plus how Torah learning shaped his mindset, discipline, and clarity. Chyena opens up about the dignity and joy she finds in being the foundation of the home, and how the right partnership can elevate every area of life. Together, we discuss Shabbos as a “forced gift” of rest, navigating pressure without losing priorities, staying professional with strong boundaries, and why in marriage you’re not meant to argue to win—you’re meant to build a life as one team.
What makes this conversation so powerful is that it’s not just about success—it’s about what success is built on. Throughout the episode, Velvel and Chyena show what it looks like to be led by a guiding principle, even when life is demanding. The episode closes with their mantra, “Ein od milvado”—a grounding reminder that everything is in Hashem’s hands. No matter what season you’re in, you’ll walk away with something practical, uplifting, and real.

Defending Truth: Courage, Advocacy, and Understanding Controversy with Douglas Murray
In this powerful and enlightening conversation on From The Inside Out with Rivkah and Eda, author and advocate Douglas Murray speaks on his unwavering support for Israel and the Jewish people, despite not being Jewish himself. Murray articulates the courage and moral compass that drive his advocacy, rooted in a profound commitment to truth. The dialogue highlights the distinctions between genuine support for Palestinian self-determination and those who simply oppose Israel, referencing the significant divide seen on and after October 7th.

We discuss complex issues surrounding Gaza, the problematic nature of international peacekeeping, and the moral dilemmas in dealing with terrorism. The discussion delves into personal stories of heroism, educational strategies against antisemitism, and the profound impact of concerted, individual efforts in combating hate. Murray underscores the importance of living deeply, engaging with truth, and fostering resilience through understanding history and personal conviction.

Unbreakable Faith: A Mother’s Journey of Strength, Pain, and Miracles with Shelly Shemtov
In one of the most moving conversations we’ve ever had on From the Inside Out, we sit with Shelly Shemtov, the mother of Omer Shemtov, who was held captive in Gaza for 505 days.
Shelly opens her heart and takes us into a mother’s worst nightmare, and her unshakable faith that never wavered. Through anguish and uncertainty, she refused to break. She believed with all her heart that her son would return, and miraculously, he did.
With tears, strength, and breathtaking humility, Shelly shares how she spoke to God through the darkness, how gratitude and prayer became her lifeline, and how even in the tunnels, Omer felt the light of Am Yisrael surrounding him.
This is more than a story of survival, it’s a story of the power of a mother’s love, the depth of Jewish faith, and the miracle of hope that never dies.
If you’ve ever faced pain you couldn’t understand, or prayed for something that felt impossible, this conversation will move you, strengthen you, and remind you that light truly does rise from the deepest darkness.

In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah & Eda, we explore forgiveness, emphasizing the importance of letting go of past resentments to lead a fulfilling life.

EPISODE SPONSORS
KEREN HASHANA
Even if we resolve to give charity every day, it’s easy to miss a day, to forget, or to get distracted.
Imagine the opportunity to partner daily with the Lubavitcher Rebbe in giving charity. 72 years ago, the Rebbe, launched an initiative to ensure that every person has the merit of daily tzedaka-giving. The Rebbe established a special fund that would guarantee not a day goes by without contributing to charity, it is called Keren Hashana.
There are many great organizations to give charity to daily…the Rebbe stated that those who wish to rely on him for their daily giving can donate to this fund. The first daily giving fund. The Idea: You donate in amounts which reflect the number of days in the coming year–this year 354–and Keren Hashana disburses the charity on your behalf -- twice every day! Once before Shachris and once before Mincha. This guarantees that you will give Tzedaka every day of the Year. It’s not important how much you give, the idea is to give Tzedaka every day.
In the past year alone, millions of dollars were distributed towards these social services. How is the money distributed? Where does the money go? The funds are donated through Machne Israel Chabad HQ in support of those less fortunate, single-parent households, educational subsidies for Torah education, emergency assistance, Hachnosas Kallah to holiday grants, and a host of other initiatives made possible through Chabad's global network. This past year, a significant amount of money was directed in support of our brothers and sisters in the holy land of Israel.
Join with thousands from around the world and become a Keren Hashana partner. Be a giver every day and donate online at: MyKerenHashana.org

In honor of Elul and Rosh Hashanah, we’re re-releasing one of the most cherished conversations ever recorded on From the Inside Out Podcast, our 2019 interview with Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks זצ״ל. This was not only one of our very first episodes, it was also Rabbi Sacks' final recorded interview before his passing.

What began as a conversation about Jewish identity, morality, and mentorship, became a masterclass in faith, leadership, and the quiet power of humility.

Topics include:
- How the Rebbe changed Rabbi Sacks’ life
- The hidden strengths of self-doubt
- The surprising power of WhatsApp over the pulpit
- Elaine Sacks’ role in shaping Rabbi Sacks’ leadership
- The shift from an “I” to “we” society
- Why the question “Why do bad things happen to good people?” has no answer
- Elul as a time of clearing space, not piling on resolutions
- How spiritual gifts increase when shared
🕊 May his memory continue to be a blessing.

In this episode of From the Inside Out with Rivkah and Eda, we sat down with Rabbi Shais Taub for a powerful Gimmel Tammuz conversation that goes far beyond memory — and deep into mission.
What does it mean to live with the Rebbe today? How do we access his guidance, clarity, and belief in us — especially for those who never met him?
This isn’t just a conversation about the Rebbe’s teachings — it’s about what happens when someone sees your soul, knows your potential, and believes in you more than you believe in yourself.
We talk about soul work, burnout, dating, divine direction, and what it looks like to keep moving forward even when you don’t feel ready. Whether you’re in a season of doubt, transition, or spiritual searching — this episode will remind you that you're not alone, and that you're already more than enough.

This episode is a powerful reminder that now more than ever, we must stand tall and live proud. As the world grows louder in its warnings to hide our Jewish identity, Natalie Sopinsky refuses to shrink. A former Delaware native turned firearm-carrying settler and mother of five, Natalie lives in the Hebron Hills and serves as the director of development for emergency services across Judea and Samaria.
From teenage identity crises to vibrant life among the hills and goats, from dealing with fear to finding fierce purpose—Natalie’s story is raw, real, and deeply moving.
She shares what it means to live with Emunah, how she walks fearlessly in places others deem dangerous, and why the Jewish people must stay rooted, visible, and strong.
Natalie is the Director of Development for Hatzalah Yehuda and Shomron, where she oversees emergency medical services across 150 communities throughout Judea and Samaria. A Delaware native raised in a conservative Jewish, all-American home, Natalie made Aliyah and now resides in the Hebron Hills, embracing a lifestyle that reflects her deep commitment to the land and people of Israel.
A trained attorney, certified lifeguard, and devoted mother of five, Natalie brings a unique blend of courage, conviction, and care to everything she does. She is also the host of Returning Home, a weekly radio program on Israel News Talk Radio, where she discusses topics related to Aliyah, Jewish identity, and life in Israel’s heartland.
Her story is one of transformation, resilience, and purpose—bridging worlds and forging new paths in service of a greater mission.

In this rich and nourishing episode of From The Inside Out with Rivkah and Eda, Nechama Schusterman joins us to explore how women can release the deep programming of lack and unworthiness—and come back to a place of inner fullness and divine feminine abundance.
Drawing deeply from the Chassidic teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and the wisdom of Chabad Chassidus, Nechama shares a soulful and grounded approach to preparing for Pesach—not through pressure or perfectionism, but through presence, purpose, and inner peace.
We talk about:
🌿 How childhood roles and family dynamics shape our adult patterns
🌿 Why many women feel the need to overdo or prove their worth—and how to heal that
🌿 The connection between spirituality, emotional clarity, and nervous system safety
🌿 Reframing Pesach prep as a spiritual return instead of a to-do list
🌿 Reclaiming feminine energy and sacred self-worth through a Chassidic lens
This episode is a breath of fresh air for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the expectations of womanhood, motherhood, or Jewish holidays—and is ready to choose a gentler, more powerful path rooted in Torah and soul! We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Special thanks to Women of Iron Unite for making this episode possible. Founded on October 10th amid the pain of Operation Iron Sword, three courageous women from Crown Heights united to protect Eretz Yisroel by inspiring prayer, unity, and tznius within our community. Organized by Sarale Blau, Rivky Perl, and Ruthie Sperlin, their initiative continues to empower women to take small steps toward growth and holiness even in challenging times.
Modesty (tznius) is one of the most sensitive, often misunderstood topics in the Jewish world. It’s not just about clothing—it’s about identity, confidence, dignity, and connection to something deeper. In this thought-provoking episode of From the Inside Out, we sit down with two incredible guests: Rivky Slonim, a powerhouse in Jewish education, and Joyce Azria, former fashion executive turned modesty advocate. Together, we unravel the layers of tznius—why it’s challenging, what it truly means beyond fabric and rules, and how it can be a source of empowerment rather than restriction.
Joyce shares her journey from the high-fashion world to embracing modesty, revealing the unexpected luxury and confidence it brings. Rivka offers profound insights on what tznius really is (hint: it’s NOT just about covering up) and how it’s deeply tied to self-respect, spirituality, and personal growth. We also explore topics like navigating modesty in professional spaces, finding joy in mitzvos even when they feel hard, and how to inspire the next generation without force or judgment.
Rivkah Slonim is the Associate Director at the Chabad Center for Jewish Student Life at Binghamton University. An internationally known teacher, lecturer, and activist, she travels widely, addressing the intersection of traditional Jewish observance and contemporary life, with a special focus on Jewish women in Jewish law and life. Slonim is the editor of Total Immersion: A Mikvah Anthology and Bread and Fire; Jewish Women find God in the Everyday. Slonim and her husband are the grateful and proud parents of nine children. You can find more from Rivky Slonim here: https://www.chabad.org/search/keyword_cdo/kid/1328/jewish/Rivkah-Slonim.htm
Joyce Azria is a fashion and wellness entrepreneur, formerly the Creative Director of BCBGeneration and founder of Avec Les Filles and Amazon’s ROHB. Daughter of the late Max Azria, she grew up in “fashion royalty,” but her journey from Chanel to Shabbat reshaped her approach—shifting from creating value-driven brands to leading with her values as an Orthodox Jewish woman. Now co-founder of The Healer’s Collection, Joyce shares her passion, spirituality, and rich experiences to inspire audiences nationwide. She lives in Miami, Florida, with her children. You can find Joyce at her website here: https://www.joyceazria.com/

In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, Rabbi Mendel Kalmenson, author of Positivity Bias, A Time to Heal, and On Purpose, explores the deeper meaning of positivity and purpose through the lens of the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s teachings. Drawing from his extensive study of the Rebbe’s wisdom, Rabbi Kalmenson challenges the common notion that positivity is naïve, reframing it instead as positive theology—a perspective that reveals the deeper truth of reality rather than just a mindset shift.
He shares powerful insights on overcoming negativity bias, finding meaning in life’s struggles, and discovering one’s unique purpose. He explains how our talents, passions, personality traits, and even our greatest challenges are clues to our mission in this world. Through compelling stories and real-life examples, he illustrates how personal hardships can lead to transformation, how we can shift from survival mode to thriving, and why the Rebbe’s teachings are more relevant today than ever.
Rabbi Kalmenson’s work is rooted in his deep exploration of the Rebbe’s guidance, distilling its profound messages into practical wisdom for today’s world. Whether discussing healing, resilience, or personal growth, he brings to life the Rebbe’s perspective on how every individual has a vital role to play in the grand purpose of creation.

Welcome to this very special episode of From the Inside Out with Rivkah & Eda! Usually, we invite guests to share their insights, but for the first time since the inception of our podcast, we turned the mic on ourselves and shared our stories.
A few months back, the Montreal Torah Center flew us down for a unique event where we had the privilege of interviewing Rabbi Moshe New. (Be sure to listen to that inspiring episode here: https://youtu.be/KXqo5NqqVfw )
During that visit, we were also interviewed (for the very first time!) by Rabbi Getzy Markowitz (https://www.instagram.com/getzym/?hl=en), Director of the Family Store (https://www.instagram.com/tfsmtl/?hl=en) and Young Jewish Professionals of Montreal, and Amanda Bindman (https://ca.linkedin.com/in/amanda-bindman-b27555130)
In this candid conversation, we open up about our own journeys—sharing stories of growing up in homes of generosity, overcoming personal challenges, and embracing so many stages of transformation throughout our lives.
We want to thank you- our amazing listeners - for joining us on this journey. We hope our stories resonate with you and inspire you in some way. Please let us know your thoughts and share your own experiences in the comments below!
We are excited to share this with you and hope you enjoy.
With gratitude,
Rivkah & Eda

In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, we explore what truly makes marriage “great,” from the sacred concept of soulmates to practical skills for everyday harmony. Our guests—Rabbi Manis Friedman, Rabbi Shais Taub, and somatic healer Miriam Racquel Feldman—challenge the idea that marriage is about personal gain or mere happiness. Instead, they show how viewing marriage as a shared mission—anchored in spiritual purpose and mutual respect—can transform conflict into connection and routine coexistence into genuine intimacy. We discuss the difference between love and oneness, how to create a safe emotional space at home, and why authentic growth often emerges from life’s toughest moments. Whether you’re single, married, or somewhere in-between, this conversation offers uplifting insights and practical wisdom for building a grounded, purposeful, and deeply fulfilling marriage.

In this episode of From The Inside Out with Rivkah and Eda, we tackle the paradoxes and puzzles that we come up against in Torah and Judaism with Rabbi Dov Schochet. Right in time for Rosh Hashana, this episode will help you enter the new year with clarity, drive, and purpose. We cover questions such as:
-What are the Torah’s guidelines on seeking and granting forgiveness?
-What is the Torah’s view on healing and finding joy?
- What does Teshuva mean practically for us today?
- What is the Torah's view on balancing materialism and spirituality, especially when asking for blessings on Rosh Hashanah?
- How should one navigate the political landscape as a Torah-observant Jew?
- Can the Torah laws adapt to modern developments?
- How do you reconcile the idea that "the world was created for me" with humility?
-What guidance does the Torah give on deciding between staying in yeshiva and entering the workforce?
- What is healthy love according to the Torah, and how does it differ from selfish or destructive love?
And many more!
We hope you enjoy this episode and wish you a sweet year full of revealed goodness and
miracles!

Even with the best intentions, it’s easy to forget or miss a day of giving charity. Imagine the opportunity to partner daily with the Lubavitcher Rebbe in giving Tzedaka.
71 years ago, the Rebbe launched Keren Hashana, a fund ensuring that no day goes by without giving charity. By donating an amount reflecting the 355 days of this year, Keren Hashana disburses charity twice daily—before Shachris and Mincha—guaranteeing your daily giving.
The amount doesn’t matter; the key is consistency- to give Tzedaka every year. Funds support those in need through Chabad’s global network, from single-parent households to educational subsidies and emergency assistance. Join thousands worldwide and be a giver every day.

The HERZOG Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon is perhaps not as well known as the Herzog Napa Valley and Alexander Valley, but that’s only because it was introduced more recently. Lake County is a wine growing region in Northern California that many winemakers like to nickname “the new Napa”. The area is known for its volcanic soil and sharp differences of temperature between the day and night during the growing and harvesting season. The result is a wine that is rich and flavorful, an absolute delight both to enjoy now and to age for many years to come.

Although the Jewish people have probably seen more wars than any other nation, they have always remained the most passionate about the idea of world peace, harmony, and respect among all peoples. The Jewish scriptures are filled with practical and theoretical knowledge about wars, which can and should be of use today. According to Judaism, some wars are not merely a human conflict but actually have a divine purpose. Winning a war, in that context, means overcoming the darkness and increasing the Godly light in the world. In this episode , Manis shares lessons on winning wars( from the inside out).

YATAR's unique tactical ATVs are designed to respond swiftly to emergencies, reaching off-road locations quickly and serving as the first responders in critical situations such as terrorist attacks, infiltrations, smuggling, and uprisings. They are a mission-driven organization comprised of highly-trained volunteer soldiers, including former IDF combat soldiers and counter-terrorism experts. These soldiers undergo a rigorous selection process to join the unit. On October 7th, they lost 4 soldiers who died defending the kibbutzim and had 2 ATVs destroyed. Since that day, YATAR has been on the frontlines, operating their specialized ATVs inside Gaza–conducting reconnaissance and combat operations, stealthily transporting special forces, placing explosives in key points, and evacuating wounded soldiers. After revamping a portion of their fleet into medical evacuation ATVs, they have saved over 180 wounded soldiers from inside Gaza. Though many of their activities continue to be classified, their reach doesn't stop there. YATAR also has forces deployed in the Judea and Samaria areas, patrolling and responding to threats. With tensions rising in Lebanon, the IDF has dispatched a part of their unit to the northern border where they remain ready for any escalation. But YATAR can't do it alone. They urgently need your support to expand their security forces. As a 501c3 non-profit organization, your generous donation enables them to continue saving lives.

Ready to uncover the profound wisdom of Rabbi Simon Jacobson on spiritual growth and the curious intertwining of guilt and religion? We're bringing you a soul-stirring conversation that fundamentally reframes how we perceive high holidays - as a time for accountability and nurturing a trusting relationship with God, rather than a time for guilt.

To top it all, we delve into the deeper meanings of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, revealing how to connect meaningfully with God during these sacred periods.
Wrapping up our enlightening journey, we explore the power of vulnerability, the potential for growth that lies in the disruption of comfort zones, and the true essence of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Rabbi Jacobsen shares moving stories and lessons that will inspire you to live up to his teachings and fulfill your unique mission. So, join us in this thought-provoking episode and discover how you can bring Hashem's light into the world, one day at a time.

They introduce us to the concept of 'differentiation in relationships,' which they attribute as a significant factor in building their own strong connection. They aren’t shy about discussing self-esteem, self-validated intimacy, and even the uncomfortable weight gain discussions, giving us a real look at what it means to be in a longstanding, authentic partnership.
Dr. Assael, a renowned psychologist with decades of experience, brings his expertise and unique perspective to our conversation. Galit is an accomplished researcher and advocate for mental health. She complements Dr. Assael's knowledge with her passion for understanding the intricacies of the human mind.

Do you or a family member struggle with anxiety, chronic pain, brain fog, overwhelm, lack of drive, or sleeplessness Have you tried different therapies or programs and nothing seems to work? Frequently these issues are caused by previous negative experiences that the individual has gone through, which have left a strong impression on the body. If these negative experiences are not processed, they can show up in many different ways, such as, anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, or chronic pain.
Has it ever happened to you that you feel upset or frustrated, or irritated all day for no apparent reason? Then you think about it and realize that at 7:30 in the morning someone made a snide comment to you and it lingered. You never had a chance to deal with it and it frustrated you and colored everything that you did that day.
Now imagine that morning’s experience that triggered that emotion, was not only from that day, but was a build up of experiences from the past ten years.
These emotions, caused by negative experiences have become part of your subconscious and linger and clog up your system. They affect your day to day thoughts and feelings and body functions in a negative way.
In this episode, Moshe Weinbaum shares his journey of healing through the emotion code, and how he harnessed the emotion code to help countless people in their healing journey.

In honor of Chaf Beit Shvat, the Lubavitcher Rebbes wife, Rebbitzen Chaya Mushka’s 34th Yahrtzeit, we are honored to share an incredible conversation with Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, with a glimpse of the behind the scenes life of the Rebbe and Rebbetzin and the lessons we can take from them.
Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky , was born in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1946 he began his studies at the Lubavitch Yeshiva in New York where, shortly before his marriage, he received his rabbinical ordination. In 1957, Rabbi Krinsky was appointed to the secretariat of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. The Rebbe later appointed him as secretary and officer of his three umbrella Chabad-Lubavitch organizations: Machne Israel, Merkos L’inyonei Chinuch and Agudas Chabad. He now serves as Chairman of the Board. Rabbi Krinsky also served as spokesman for the Rebbe and the Lubavitch movement, and editor of the Lubavitch News Service. As personal driver for the Rebbe, he had the unique distinction of spending hundreds of hours alone with the Rebbe. In 1988, the Rebbe appointed him as the sole executor of his will. In 2007, Newsweek Magazine named Rabbi Krinsky to the top of a list of “America's top 50 Rabbis.”Rabbi Krinsky lives in Brooklyn, New York.
*Please note two corrections:
1. Rabbi Krinsky’s brother was a navigator during the war, (not an aviator)
2. In the story regarding the Phoenix bird, the Rebbe took out the Sefer/book of Iyuv, (not Mishley.)
You can donate today to the foundation the Rebbe made in honor of the Rebbitzen for women in need around the world.

Adidas brands took notice of this supermom of 5 young kids who is at the height of her game. Nicknamed Speedy Beatie” , Beatie Deitsch only began running in 2015 in a desperate move to get back into shape after having four children in six years. Deutsch – who in the spirit of modesty dons a head covering, skirt and long-sleeve shirt when she runs – needed to find time to consistently exercise.
