  • Wife of a Chayal: The Homefront
    Apr 7 2025

    Join us as we sit down with Moriah, wife of a current reservist who is serving on the frontlines. Moriah is open about the "painful privilege" of being a functionally single parent for the last many months, about believing that this is Am Yisrael's war, and about her mission to unite us to bring Moshiach. Originally from Monsey, NY, Moriah's story is unique in that her background is familiar but she has bridged into a totally different culture.

  • Ira: The Lone Soldier
    Nov 25 2024

    You do NOT want to miss this episode! We sat down with Ira, a lone soldier from Long Island, NY, as he shares some of his experiences and emotions over the last year. In addition to serving on the front lines to selflessly protect Am Yisrael, Ira is a childhood friend of Omer ben Orna Esther, and he bravely shares a bit about this friendship. We recorded this interview 8 days before it was announced that Omer Neutra (thought to be a hostage) was murdered on 10/7/2023. It is heartbreaking to learn of his death.

    Any inspiration gleaned from this powerful episode should serve as a merit to elevate the souls of three of Ira's friends: Omer ben Orna Esther Neutra, Amir Naim and Yair Avitan, each of whom gave his life protecting his people and his land.
