  • What is femininity? While so close to our hearts as Torah observant women, the concept of femininity may also be clouded in our minds by secular influences – think, in particular, the entertainment industry. How can we reconnect to the essence of what femininity means? Enter well-known kallah teacher and intimacy coach Faigy Pollock who helps us unpack the Torah’s perspective on femininity, DMC-style.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    How Faigy became interested in this topic

    The definition of femininity

    How femininity is developed and cultivated in the elementary, teen and young adult years

    The approach for women who don’t identify with the concept of feminity

    Feminity in marriage

    How to embrace and cultivate femininity in our everyday, hectic lives so often rife with challenges

  • So often in relationships, we’re looking outwards – at the other person with his or her flaws & what needs to be fixed. But what if the key to fulfilling and meaningful relationships lay inwards – with the self? What if we truly understood ourselves? Chany Rosengarten believes this type of empowerment gives women peace, joy and confidence – in themselves and their marriages.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    How the starting point in relationships must be the self.

    What being comfortable with oneself looks like and how it impacts a marriage

    How to heal wounds and find connection

    How we can bring out the best in each other in marriage

    How to feel satisfied, fulfilled, seen and understood in our marriages

    What emotional intimacy looks like and how to cultivate it

    We’re so grateful to have Mrs. Michal Horowitz share her favorite Rosh Hashana insights on this episode of DMC. In her unique style, Michal blends Torah sources and relatable hashkafic insights with every piece of Torah she shares.

  • Life is complicated, and with life experiences come complex emotions. But embracing conflicting emotions with strategies such as paradoxical thinking can make all the difference. This is the topic that therapist, dating coach and columnist Sara Eisemann wanted to DMC with us on this episode because she knew the life-changing impact of “both/and” thinking, which looks something like this: “I’m both so grateful for my son’s bar mitzvah and overwhelmed hosting my family.” Instead of fighting those conflicting emotions, we embrace them – and drop the guilt. You’ll learn about this and more in this fascinating conversation.

    In this episode we discuss:

    What Sara’s aims to accomplish in all the work she does, from clinical therapist to Family First columnist to Director of Education for Core.

    What “both/and” means and how it can be applied to life experiences

    Typical paradoxes in our lives and how we can make space for them

    How to handle negative emotions in a healthy way

    The role of acceptance

  • Can we be honest for a minute? Of course we can, we’re having a DMC! So let’s get real about being honest about communal issues. In other words, we know our community isn’t immune to its share of societal challenges, but is it possible to be sincere in acknowledging the issues while sincerely trying to improve them? And while we’re being honest about the problems, how can we maintain emunah and positivity as we’re face-to-face with those challenges?

    We discuss these questions and more with Keshet Starr, CEO Of ORA, the Organization for the Resolution of Agunot. Keshet is an attorney, author, activist, speaker and nonprofit leader. She’s one of those people in the trenches doing the work but has managed to maintain her sensitivity, sincerity and emunah. Keshet is a true role model in many ways.

    In this DMC we discuss,

    How Keshet got into the work of agunah advocacy

    How we can be honest about real issues in the community while maintaining positivity and emunah

    The first steps in making changes once we’ve identified a problem

    Effective and ineffective methods of making change

    Keshet’s opinion on grassroots efforts in the community

    How Orah has been successful in implementing change & what Keshet’s learned

    Keshet’s advice for those looking to improve an area in their community

  • We’ve entered the Three Weeks, and the Jewish calendar instructs us to have mourning on our mind. Yet it can be challenging to embrace the meaning of mourning smack in the middle of summer barbeques and road trips. We knew that Sarah Rivkah Kohn, founder of Links Family, would help us find the meaning in mourning. Links Family is an organization that provides support to children and teens who have lost a parent. Through her own personal loss, and her work with Links, Sarah Rivkah has learned so much about the process and significance of mourning and how it can apply to all of us, even if we haven’t lost a loved one.

    On this DMC we discuss:

    How and why Sarah Rivkah founded Links Family

    What Sarah Rivkah has learned about mourning

    The various forms of loss in the human experience

    How Sarah Rivkah’s experience informs her understanding of the loss of the Beis Hamikdash

    How we can make Tisha Baav more meaningful in our lives

  • Many months ago we saw that Miriam Pascal Cohen was putting out a brand new Pesach cookbook, and we knew we had to snag her for DMC because she’d be everywhere promoting her book! But we also knew that with a cookbook called Real Life Pesach Cooking Miriam would be a perfect guest for our podcast. At DMC, we’re all in when it comes to anything “real life”!

    You might know Miriam as the Overtime Cook, having built this amazing kosher cooking brand. Her cookbook comes out just in time for Pesach and we want to hear all about her secret tips and tricks and all the behind-the-scenes!

    On this DMC we discuss:

    How Miriam became known as The Overtime Cook

    Miriam’s cooking style and how it comes through in her recipes

    Process of recipe development, from conception to print

    Miriam’s most popular recipes

    Why Real Life Pesach Cooking is unique

  • So many of us in Chutz LaAretz want to understand what it’s like for the women who are holding down the fort in Eretz Yisrael with their husbands off fighting this war. These mothers and wives are true heroes, taking care of everything without the support and presence of their husbands who are risking their lives to protect our Holy Land. We want to learn and know more about what these special women – our Jewish sisters in Eretz Yisrael – are going through. So we asked Nina Tokayer on the podcast to DMC with us. Nina lives in Pardes Chana with her husband Yoni and children. Many of you may be familiar with Yonina which is the name of her singing duo together with her husband. Yoni was just released from miluim – reserves– this February.

    We’re excited to talk to Nina about her music as well as about what this experience has been like for her and her children.

    On this DMC we discuss:

    How Yonina got started and has evolved

    October 7th for the Tokayers

    Nina’s experience as the wife of a reservist

    How Nina’s identity as a musician impacted her experience

    Nina’s message of chizuk for fellow wives of soldiers

    Nina’s message of chizuk for Jewish women outside of Israel

  • Purim is on its way, so we’ve invited who we think are two of the funniest (and maybe cleverest) ladies to grace the pages of Mishpacha Magazine, and that’s Chani Judowitz and Bracha Stein, the masterminds of The Kichels’ comics. We say that The Kichels is social commentary in its best form. They manage to point out silly things about frum life in a way that’s highly relatable, while doing it in such a loving and playful way. It’s like mussar and validation all in one hilarious package.

    (Oh, and by the way, you can’t miss our very special “guests” this episode to provide some extra laughs this Adar season.)

    On this DMC we discuss:

    How the Kichels were born

    Chani and Bracha’s process of collaboration

    Their goals in starting the comic strip

    Their reaction to its popularity

    What they think the Kichels has accomplished in starting communal conversations

    Their funniest, most loved, and most controversial strips

    What’s next for the Kichels

  • So often the situation in Israel can feel dispiriting. We want to make a difference and contribute, but we don’t know how. Meira Kolatch, otherwise known as “The Official Meira”, shares with us how out of her desire to keep her friends and family informed about events in Israel, she accidently created a following of over 35k people on social media who come to her for

    real-time, verified information from Israel about Israel. She shares with us her empowering message of how we can each stand strong for Israel in our daily lives, no social media presence required.

    On this DMC we discuss:

    Meira’s aliyah journey as a young child and the impact it has on her today

    How she’s become an authority on Israel since she started sharing information after October 7th

    How she views and interacts with the “Ceasefire Now” group so vocal on social media

    How she sees her role as a vocal advocate for Israel

    Her message for us in how we can make a difference in fighting this PR war
