Episodit

  • Live from the Chizuk Retreat in Cleveland, we sat down with two former DMC guests, Barrie Feld (Episode 36, “Why We all Need Chizuk”) and Slovie Jungreis-Wolff ( 44, “Finding Focus on Rosh Hashana”) for a wonderful reunion and to get some insight into how to prepare for Rosh Hashana, for real.

    On this DMC we discuss:

    The challenge of balancing the physical and spiritual preparations

    What women are looking for in advance of Rosh Hashana and during this yamim noraim season

    How we can reexamine Rosh Hashana and redefine it for ourselves in whatever new stage we find ourselves

    One message Barrie and Slovie would like to give to frum woman before Yom Tov

  • There's lots to prepare this Rosh Hashana with a 3-day yom tov. So whether you’re on your 6th run to the supermarket or staying up late in the kitchen cooking, we have a DMC for you. Because there’s nothing like walking into Rosh Hashana feeling like you did something to prepare for the day spiritually.

    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. We were mesmerized by her breadth of knowledge and ability to bring each lesson home.

    In this episode we discuss:

    How Michal got into adult Torah education

    Michal’s favorite Rosh Hashana insights to help get us in the right mindset for the yamim noraim

    The main idea Michal wants Jewish women to understand that will help them connect with Rosh Hashana more deeply

  • 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

  • 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

  • Tziri Preis is one of those people who is living her dream. Classroom teacher turned podcaster and “General” of the Tehillim Army nightly Zoom and livestream, she reaches thousands of children (and their parents) each night. The Tehillim Army was Tziri’s response to October 7th, and little did she know what a need it would fill and the impact it would make. Tziri’s story has so much to teach us about doing our part to fill a need as well as making dreams come true.

    On this DMC we discuss:

    Tziri’s journey from the classroom to her InKredible Kids podcast and her “InKredible” Tehillim Army initiative

    The feedback she receives and the impact of the Tehillim Army

    How Tziri’s lifelong dream came true, and the takeaway for our listeners

    How we can also see Hashem guiding our work

    How we can all make a difference in our own way

  • These days, it seems Geula is very much on our mind. Geula, as our guest Faigy Blumstein explains, is very much a mindset as well hat needs developing. Geula, redemption, will happen with Hashem’s help in the future, but it isn’t something that we passively wait for. Every day we yearn for the Geula, and there are things we can do right now to put into place as an expression of that yearning – and as a means to an end to bring the Geula closer! Faigy, with her signature Thank You Hashem attitude, gives us the low down on how to make this a reality in our daily lives.

    On this DMC we discuss:

    How Faigy and her husband started the TYH movement

    Faigy’s passion for teaching and the topics she’s loving to give over these days

    What is a “Geula mindset” and how we can develop it

    Why developing a Geula mindset is so critical these days during the challenges facing Am Yisrael
