My Chasidish Mother Left the Frum Community. Why I Stayed.

Henchy Cohen opens up about her parents’ divorce - a split that forced her, at just seven years old, to live between two opposite worlds: her father’s Hasidic community and her mother’s secular life. She talks about the confusion, the judgment, and the quiet strength it took to hold her family together while figuring out who she was. Through it all, Henchy never lost her sense of faith or drive - turning a painful divide into the foundation for a life built on clarity, compassion, and conviction.

I Discovered The Secret About My Jewish Adoption

Howie Danao grew up in an affluent Tel Aviv home as the adopted son of a secular Israeli family, alongside his Filipino mother who worked as a caretaker. A gifted singer fluent in Hebrew, he rose to the semi-finals of a major Israeli reality competition and later served in the IDF even before he gained citizenship. A transformative Jewish-identity program pushed him to confront his past and his purpose, sending him on a spiritual journey that led to conversion, religious life, and using his music to share his story of faith, belonging, and love for Israel.

How a Hasidic Man With Zero Education Became a Doctor and Army Medic in Israel

Yehuda Sabiner grew up in Har Nof, in the heart of Jerusalem, within a Ger chasidish community where his childhood doctor made a powerful impact on him. That early influence set him on a remarkable path, and he went on to become the first fully chasidish, Israel born doctor. After October 7th, he joined the IDF’s search and rescue efforts, bringing his medical skills into some of the most difficult moments the country has faced. In this interview, he reflects on his journey and shares how he manages to balance the different worlds of family, chasidus, medicine, and national service.

99% of Astrology is FAKE, This is How It ACTUALLY Works According to the Bible

I used to think astrology was nonsense - until I met Rabbi Yitzchok Aharon Pinkesz. Rabbi Pinkesz reveals how Judaism and the Torah have always contained a hidden wisdom about the stars - what he calls “Kosher Astrology.” He explains how your birth chart reflects your divine mission, why timing in life is never random, and how God uses celestial cycles to guide human destiny. This isn’t superstition - it’s a deep exploration of how the universe, faith, and free will are intertwined in ways most of us never imagined. We even discuss what Kosher Astrology says about Trump.
