In this powerful episode of the Neshamos Podcast, Azriel Boymelgreen shares his raw and unfiltered journey through antisemitic bullying, isolation, substance abuse, and the lasting scars of loss. What begins as a story of deep pain and alienation transforms into one of resilience, spiritual growth, and a commitment to help others.

Azriel opens up about the pivotal moments that led him from despair to healing, from life-changing therapy to rediscovering meaning through faith and community. He also discusses the creation of The Bereishis Foundation, a nonprofit organization that empowers child wellness by helping families afford therapy for children struggling with mental health challenges.

The foundation provides direct financial assistance for therapy costs, allowing parents to choose their preferred licensed therapist.

This episode is longer and more intense than most. A deeply personal conversation about struggle, recovery, and the courage to speak the unspeakable.
