She had no interest in the kitchen. In fact, her only job in the kitchen growing up was just to make the salad for Shabbat; a job she didn’t take to very well, for one time she put ½ cp of salt instead of sugar in the salad dressing! Her family jokingly talks about this story till today. And the joke’s on her! Because now, she’s busier than ever in the kitchen and promoting her new cookbook, Millennial Kosher. You’re listening to Jewish Latin Princess, I’m Yael Trusch, Your Host, welcome to the show! You heard that right, I have the sweet Chanie Apfelbaum, creator of Busy in Brooklyn and Author of Millennial Kosher.

Why does a salad dressing require ½ cup of sugar, anyway? Yeah, Chanie wondered the same thing. And, in part a desire to give her traditional sweet Ashkenazi foods a re-vamp, was what led her to unleash her creativity in the kitchen. She’s a millennial and as such, she’s not taking the status quo as a given, even in her cooking! Chanie mixes international flavors and textures, all to bring something extraordinary and unconventional to our tables. Chanie talks to us about the journey that got her to this point. The unexpected side benefit of becoming a “public figure” in the kosher culinary world. And hey, how does she manage her public and busy life, when her priority is her family? Something, many of us can relate to. Her role model – an unexpected side to Chanie’s life, which explains many things about her grit and the way she approaches her booming career. Join me in wrapping up 2019 with the fun and lovely, Chanie Apfelbaum!

Crees que le estas haciendo un favor a alguien y esto te termina cambiando el destino… ¿Te ha pasado? En el caso de mi invitada de hoy, dos favores, aparentemente inconsecuentes, que sin embargo le abren las puertas a un destino completamente inesperado. Y hablando de destino, ¿cual es la diferencia entre el destino y el libre albedrío? Bienvenida a Jewish Latin Princess, soy Yael Trusch tu afitriona, muy feliz de estar aquí contigo el día de hoy, con un episodio en español, un tremendo episodio, con una tremenda mujer. Tengo el placer de conversar con la Medico Sexólogo Pscicoterapeuta Schanthal Felsenstein de Mizrahi.

¿¡Una mujer observante con esta profecion!? Suena incompatible, mas no, porque la intimidad es un área que se santifica a través de nuestras enseñanzas. Y tener esta combinación de Torá y herramientas científicas le han permitido a Schanthal trabajar exitosamente con parejas que han lograado superar dificultades que dañaban gravemente el shalom bayit, la paz en el hogar. Por supuesto, hablo con ella sobre sexología, tanto desde el punto de vista médico, como desde el punto de vista de la Tora; y de como llega ella a ese campo y ese nivel de entendimiento.

Hoy por hoy, Schanthal también dedica mucho tiempo a tratar temas de autoestima, asertividad y áreas psicológicas individuales que requieren de fortalecer la emuná y el bitajón. Como psicoterapeuta, ¿cuáles son los problemas que Schanthal ve mas frecuentemente en las mujeres?

Cuando estamos hablando del tratamiento médico psiquiátrico, especificamente, ¿dónde se queda la ciencia corta? ¿Cuál es el paso mas importante, primordial, para manejar cualquier tipo de problemas ya sean de shalom bayit, de crianza de los hijos y /o de dinero? Todo esto y mucho mas, intercalado con anécdotas personales interesantísimas… las dejo la queridísima Schanthal Felsenstein de Mizrahi.

Schanthal no solamente ve pacientes en Caracas, sino que alrededor del mundo via teleconferencia, gracias a la tecnología moderna. Schantal tambien esta disponible para dar charlas y conferencias internacionalmente. Para mas información pueden contactarla en [email protected] o por what’s app en el +58-424-931-5036

What is the most important factor affecting your happiness and fulfillment? I bet you had not thought of this one, but my guest today makes a pretty strong case for Shalom Bayit – peace in the home, and more specifically for marriage. Your marriage. Hmm boy did I have questions about that!

You’re listening to Jewish Latin Princess. I’m Yael Trusch, Your Host, welcome to the Show. This is Thanksgiving week – a lot going on for everyone I’m sure. If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been hiding, I haven’t really been hiding… I’ve just been consumed by a few work projects, and more importantly being very deliberate about getting enough sleep during the crunch time and staying present throughout everything that has been going on in my life… we had beautiful milestones in my family … within the last three weeks, I had a birthday, my daughter had a birthday, my son put on his tefillin for the first time, marking exactly two months before his Bar Mitzvah his thirteenth birthday, which was a very beautiful moment for the entire family. And now this week, my second daughter is having a birthday. I just actually finished teaching a women’s class on Jewish birthdays and Jewish calendar in Spanish. Oh and of course we had the Friendship Walk last week which was a big success. I can’t complain all these things have been amazing and they’ve actually lend themselves to being more present for my family… a brief hiatus from my social media and my newsletter and even editing these wonderful interviews that I can’t wait to get to you. I have a lot of good content in store for you, but I had to be present for my family, my husband, my kids, myself… Which brings me to today’s interview with fellow podcast host, Leah Richeimer.

Leah is the host of the weekly podcast The Ladies Talkshow. She is also a renowned author of relationship books, including her latest book Marriage Secrets. Leah is also the founder of the “The Marriage Campaign”, a non-profit global initiative which encourages people to make marriage a top life priority. Leah uses the wisdom of our Torah and ancient sources – a 3,000 year old record of success – to inspire us to build better marriages and lead fuller lives.

“So why marriage,” I asked Leah? Of all areas of self growth, why is Leah obsessed with marriage? What about equality? We do live in 2018. Why shouldn’t equality be our focus when it comes to our homes? What is the number one way to get your husband to respect you? What about the men? Why is it on the women I ask Leah? Wait till you hear this! And how do you get our needs met within a marriage and the appreciation that you crave and he finds so hard to provide. Ohhh there’s a lot to learn here. Listen up ladies, cuz Leah Richeimer is on a mission to mobilize our nation to work on marriage. Here’s the lovely Leah Richeimer.  

You can find Leah at The Ladies Talkshow and you can order her latest book, Marriage Secrets, A Woman’s Guide to Making Your Marriage Even Better, here.

You know you’ve got a lot to offer the world, but you don’t know where to begin. Your credit card gets declined at the store while your with your kids shopping for the food to feed them. Your husband is working three jobs. You’re both spread so thin and the debt at this point is 5 figures. What do you do!? First of all, you start by listening to today’s episode.

You’re listening to Jewish Latin Princess. I’m Yael Trusch your host. Welcome to the show.

I have the incredible Chanie Wilschanski on the show. Chani is the founder of Discovered Consulting, soon to be called School of Excellence and she’s killing it in the business world by teaching school leadership how to build excellent schools using her three pronged approach. But as I said, Chanie didn’t always know she was going to be an entrepreneur, or business owner at least not in this sense or that she’d be the breadwinner in her household. So, what happened?

She’s been breaking norms. How does one do that gracefully and with piece of mind? Sure, we talk about her business, but we also talk about so much more. Mentorship. Core Values. Systems. Role Models.

I think this episode is for all of us out there, because truth be told many of us have to work for a living in order to afford the things that we value and want for our families. Can we do it but not at the expense of our families and raising kids? My guest says we can! Listen up, ladies, here’s Chanie Wilschanski.

You’re listening to Jewish Latin Princess, I’m Yael Trusch, welcome to the show! Monday, October 22, 2018. It is such a busy time of year for me I can’t even begin to tell you. All super fulfilling projects and I can’t wait to share what’s in store but for now, just one little thing that I can share is that I spend a lot of my time lately coordinating Houston’s Friendship Walk which is Friendship Circle’s annual walk to raise awareness about children and adults with disabilities and their families and to raise funds for the wonderful work Friendship Circle does for these families. If you’d like to support me on the upcoming walk you can make a tax deductible donation to houstonfriendshipwalk.com/yaeltrusch. And if you’re involved with Friendship Circle in your neck of the woods, let me know. I’d love to hear from some Friendship Circle fans out there.

Ok so enough about me, let’s talk about my guest… oh what a darling guest I have today. Mirta Inés Trupp – a fantastic writer, although she didn’t necesarily sent out to become a writer. In a short span of 6 years, she’s published 3 novels – one of them a memoir about her life as a Jewish Argertinean growing up in the United States.

Mirta, a second generation Argentinean, was born in Buenos Aires and immigrated to the United States as a baby. She had the unique experience and luxury to return to her native country multiple times a year all throughout her childhood and adolesence because her father worked for Pan American Airlines. Those trips, as well as the close knit relationship built between her family and other Argentinean immigrant families, ensured that Mirta remained very much an Argentinean. Although as she tells us, back in Argentina, her family considered her “the yankee.” And if this cultural mix wasn’t enough, of course, Mirta is also Jewish – a grandchild of Russian immigrants on both sides. So, what role did Judaism play in her life growing up? What was it like growing up with these three identities and in particular with a Jewish identity, which often came with mixed messages and many unanswered questions? And how come the characters in her books do not fit the stereotypical Jewish characters we encounter in most fiction writing.

Mirta’s work reveals her fascination with Jewish history and geneology, as well as with historical period drama a la Jane Austen. Her books are enlightening and refreshing at the same time. And as you will hear, so is she. Listen to how she’s grown in her knowledge and observance of Judaism, a Jewish book book that has been pivotal in her. We speak about Divine Providence, and about trying to do better than the previous generation, whilst not forgetting and honoring everything that they gave us. Here’s the lovely Mirta Inés Trupp.

Mirta’s latest novel is Destiny By Design: Leah’s Journey. You can find all of Mirta’s books here.

Have you ever had a plan, but it seems like no matter what you do, all the doors you try to open shut down on you? Have you been blessed with the opportunity to see how all those setbacks were really for your own good, because G-d had a greater and better plan for you all along? Today’s guest has! You’re listening to Jewish Latin Princess, I’m Yael Trusch, your host. Welcome to the show. It’s Monday, October 15. We’re right in the middle of breast cancer awareness month. Hopefully you’ve had a chance to catch episode Episode 74 with Elana Silber the Excecutive Director of Sharsheret about the incredible support Sharshert offers women diagnosed with ovarian and breast cancer. Today, I’m adding to the topic by talking with the fabulous Yehudit Abrams.

Yehudit is the Founder and Creator of MonitHer, the first at-home, hand-held monitor for early detection of breast cancer. And she’s pretty much the Jewish wonder woman of the moment. (Sorry, Gal Gadot we love you here too!). Why is she the “it girl”? Because earlier this summer she won the first prize at the coveted, and very competititve, We Work Creator Awards in Jerusalem for MonitHer, her new revolutionary invention.

Part of the boys club for pretty much all of her career – as a mechanical engineer, and as a professional at NASA and in Sillicon Valley – Yehudit not only stands out in the medical engineering field for being a woman, but for being an observant Jewish woman; Shabbat, kosher, hair covering, the whole nine yards. So, what was it like to win the award? Yehudit tells us how this moment on stage represented the missing piece of the big puzzle that has been her very active and complex life. We also talk about failure, very openly. A woman who now seems to be on top of the world, tells us how she grappled with failure, many times. 

What is MonitHer exactly? What are the shortcomings of  the current technology which MonitHer is trying to address? We get into the numbers and the technical part with Yehudit. But just as fascinating or maybe even more, is her story and her outlook on life.  We talk about motherhood and creativity and how her time at home taking care of her son during his early years was instrumental in the creation of her revolutionary device. This and so much more with the super awesome Yehudit Abrams. But before we begin I want to apologize for the sound, there is background noise that we weren’t able to take out. Nevertheless, I know you will enjoy this very cool interview with a super cool woman, here’s Yehudit Abrams.

Stay updated with MonitHer’s developments right here.

How hard is it to get governments like Spain, Portugal, Mexico to agree to digitize their Inquisition records? Records that retell a history that has been buried in vaults and unspoken about for hundreds of years? Why do it? And why would any Jewish woman in her right mind, take on the task to try to negotiate with these countries to get this done? You’re listening to Jewish Latin Princess, I’m Yael Trusch, Your Host. 

Today I’m back with Genie Milgrom. Genie was with me back in Episode 12 one of my most downloaded episodes, so if you new to podcast and you haven’t heard that one, it’s definitely a must and it will also give you a lot of context for our conversation today.

Today’s interview is let’s say part 2 of that episode. Today Genie updates us on the progress she’s made since she was last here, with regards to getting inquisition records restored and digitized. She talks about DNA testing, how it works, and why it is important to do it if you’re on the search for your family’s history. Genie was awarded the prestigious Medal of the Four Sephardic Synagogues from Jerusalem earlier this summer and has a new book out Pyre to Fire, a historical novel. 

It traces the lives of two women, one in Spain living as a Jew in hiding, and one a Cuban American Roman Catholic in Miami. It may be historical fiction but it’s really 85% reality, the reality of Genie’s family history and her own. And soon her new cookbook will be out. What’s in the cookbook? Adaptations of the recipes that her grandmothers passed down throughout the generations, replete with the rich, but unspoken about family history.  

Always fascinating and inspiring, here’s Genie Milgrom. And please do yourself a favor, if you haven’t heard Episode 12, make sure you download it, because you will understand much of what we talk about today as Genie shared with us then how she was able to trace her unbroken maternal Jewish lineage back to 1405 to pre inquisition Spain and Portugal. Here’s the lovely Genie Milgrom.

You can purchase Genie’s new novel Pyre to Fire here  and in Spanish here.
