Inspiration for the Nation with Yaakov Langer

Peter Gaffney was raised Catholic in the UK and was building a career as a semi-professional footballer. Then he lost his contract, moved halfway across the planet, and through the fitness industry started a journey that led him to convert to Judaism. But his story really begins before he was born, when his mother was pregnant and having a tremendously hard time with everything and a mysterious woman she had never met stopped her and changed her life. In this conversation, Peter shares how his life came full circle, why he believes he was kept here for a reason, and the mission he now lives by every day.

On the morning of 9/11, Sarri Singer overslept two blocks from the World Trade Center. Months later she moved to Israel to help terror victims. Then in June 2003, a Hamas suicide bomber detonated on her Jerusalem bus, murdering 17 people and wounding more than 100. Sarri survived, went back, and built more than anyone could imagine....

Shoshana Lichtman grew up in a Conservadox Jewish home, but over time, she and her family drifted away from Judaism. Years later, Shoshana found her way back to Torah, becoming fully frum and embracing an Orthodox Jewish lifestyle.

Then she discovered something shocking: She wasn't actually Jewish.

After years of keeping Shabbos, learning Torah, and living a frum life, Shoshana learned she would need to undergo a halachic conversion to Judaism.

Ten years. Eleven IVF retrievals. Sixteen transfers. Six miscarriages. For a decade the answer was always no, and Tamar and Gidon Ben Tzvi never stopped holding on to each other and to Hashem. This is what waiting really looks like, and what it looks like when the wait finally ends.

Please note: this conversation is intended for adults. Tamar and Gidon speak very openly about their infertility journey.

Rebbetzin Sara Yocheved Rigler spent 15 years living in an ashram. She meditated three times a day, taught Vedanta & Hindu philosophy, and served as personal secretary to the guru. She went east searching for God.

Then one conversation with an Orthodox rabbi turned her whole world upside down. 8 months later, she was studying Torah in Jerusalem.

Today she is one of the most widely read Jewish authors alive and a world class Torah teacher. We spoke about those 15 years in the ashram, a life altering (and reincarnation) experience around her fear of having children, and what she found in Judaism that 15 years of Eastern spirituality never gave her.
