Desire To Be

Devorah Halberstam is no stranger to being victim to terrorism.

She lost her son Ari on March 1st, 1994, when he was shot on the Brooklyn Bridge, when he was en-route to visiting his Rabbi in the hospital. It was this huge act of terrorism, which targeted young Jewish students, that sent a ripple of fear throughout our nation.

Devorah became an advocate for defining terrorism, bringing justice to the perpetrators and educating the NYPD and FBI on all matters related to it.

In this episode, Devorah sheds light on the terrorism which unfolded in Israel on October 7th. She defined what terrorism is in our day in age, who the terrorist groups are targeting around the world and what our response, as Jews needs to be.

When it's too much for your body to hold onto feelings of FEAR, RESENTMENT, ANGST & PAIN, it let's you know... in the form of various pain, shortness of breath, migraines, gut issue's and the like. That's when your body indicates that it wants to function properly, without their weight of additional emotions being held within.

So how do you do it? Listen to this week's episode about the power of releasing what we store within us and reveal space in our bodies for inner peace and tranquility.

When we are faced with the season of war, how do we react?

Let's take a step back and understand what seasons in people look like and how the current season that we find ourselves in - the season of WAR in Israel can impact us in a positive way.

In episode 46, my guest, Chanie Wilschanski, gives us insight into the meaning of life seasons, and how to best navigate them. She teaches how to anchor oneself in support, trust (and a bit of humor) in transient seasons of life.

Chanie is the host of the Schools of Excellence podcast. Download her podcast for her weekly legacy content.

In these tumultuous times, we have watched footage and heard details how over 1000 of our brothers and sisters in Israel were systematically abducted, tortured, raped and or killed in a single day.

There are hundreds of people missing and lots of uncertainty lies ahead.

There is fear and dread in our hearts as we try to live life with some semblance of normalcy.

The response emotions are normal... UNTIL we start to store them in our bodies. Until we store these feelings within, causing actual pain and inability to function.

How can we release this pain and bring inner peace and calm back to our bodies? Join me on this guided meditation and feel what it does for you.

Eve of Yom Kippur. When my fellow Jews were preparing for their pre-fast and to embrace the holiest day of the year...

Is there a metric for the dating process?

How long should I date?

How do I know that he or she is the one?

How do I know that I've fallen in love?

These make great google questions and have made it to the top of the list of relationship inquiries.

Hollywood and pop culture offer their perspective of giving it time, so you REALLY know that you're ready.

But is there just ONE answer? Candace's dating and love story gives us a different perspective to that of Hollywood's. Listen to this short but potent episode to find out more!

Three decades later, Mom and son reunite.

After she abandoned him in a banana box.

At the doorstep of a nursing home.

Reunion on the TODAY show is emotional. Bringing two people together. As close as a mother and son. But she also gave him up. Because she was too young. She couldn't raise him. She was ashamed of being pregnant. And that's how his life started. Without an identity. Without his birth parents. Left to kind strangers to take him in and raise them as their own.

How did this begin? Because she got pregnant by mistake, without considering the outcome. It's easy to hook up. Society promotes that culture. But we're left with teens not knowing what to do when pregnancy occurs.

What could we do to reduce those mistakes? Listen to this episode to find out. Drop 5 stars when you're done.
