"Stop Putting Me on a Pedestal" - Bracha Jaffe's FULL Story

Bracha Jaffe has inspired countless Jewish women and girls through her music, but behind the stage is a wife, mother, and person navigating the same challenges many of us face. In this honest conversation, Bracha opens up about balancing family and career, the misconceptions people have about her, and the personal growth that comes from being vulnerable, self-aware, and true to yourself.

How AA Saved My Life.. and Then My Jewish Soul

Today, Yosef Waslow is a Chassidish husband and father, but his story is far deeper than becoming frum. Raised by a white Jewish mother and a black Baptist father, Yosef battled with alcoholism, fitting in, searching for identity, and eventually found his way to Torah and family. Yet this conversation isn't really about addiction, race, or even becoming a baal teshuva. ✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬ ► Colel Chabad: Help Families in Israel Make daily tzedakah part of your routine with the Colel Chabad Pushka App. Yaakov here.

She Was Ready to Die… Then He Called

On a night Leah thought would be her last, one phone call changed everything. In this emotional episode, Leah and Yosef Bercovice share the story of the shidduch that began in the darkest moment of Leah’s life and became the beginning of a marriage, a home, and a future filled with hope. Together, they speak openly about mental health, depression, faith, listening, healing, and the small acts of kindness that can change someone’s entire life. Trigger warning: This episode includes conversations about mental health, depression, and suicidal thoughts.
