In this episode, Shai sits down with actress, singer, and “Mom Curious” host Daniella Rabbani. She shares her journey growing up as a Modern Orthodox Jew, her deep pride in her Jewish identity, and how her family’s history shaped her perspective. Daniella discusses her transition from a religious upbringing to a more secular life, her experiences at NYU and in the performing arts, and how she discovered a passion for Yiddish theater. She reflects on the importance of Jewish language, culture, and resilience, and the role of storytelling in preserving heritage. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about identity, tradition, and finding one’s voice.

This season is dedicated to Shai’s grandmother, Leah Davidai, who passed away earlier this year. Sponsored in part by Iron Dome Coffee, visit www.irondomecoffee.com and use the code HERE I AM for an exclusive discount just for our listeners.
