How a Filipino Cleaning Lady Became An Orthodox Jewish Princess

Batyah had everything in her life, a close family, a successful career, and a deep connection to Christianity. Then one day, her pastor stood before the congregation and admitted that everything he had been preaching was false. In that moment, her entire world collapsed. But even in the confusion, she felt certain that God was real. She just needed to find the truth. Her search led her to explore Judaism. It meant walking away from her career and leaving her family behind as she traveled from the Philippines to Israel. She took on a cleaning job, a role that was humbling and incredibly difficult, but she accepted it with a simple thought: if this is what Hashem wants from me right now, I’ll do it. From there, her path only grew stronger. She converted to Orthodox Judaism, married an Israeli man who grew up in a very charedi neighborhood, and today she is a proud Jewish influencer living in the United States. Her journey is raw, brave, and full of faith.

Hamas Did Everything to Kill Me in the Tunnels. I Chose Life.

Survivor Omer Wenkart recounts his 505-day Hamas captivity, including 197 days in total isolation underground after being kidnapped from the Nova Music Festival on October 7. He endured torture, starvation, and psychological abuse, yet found faith, resilience, and hope in God. His powerful testimony of survival, Jewish identity, and belief in peace despite trauma sheds light on the human cost of terror, mental endurance, and spiritual transformation under unimaginable darkness.
