What's it like to be Jewish in America right now?

This week's guest, Rabbi Cantor Judy Greenfeld, is here to talk about that and so much more.

We discuss why it is all of our work right now to build bridges, look for the commonalities, and seek God in the everyday, no matter how--or to whom--you pray.

It's a conversation that not only highlights the reality of what Jews in America are facing right now, but also offers a glimmer of hope that there is a brighter world ahead.

Topics covered:

+ Finding peace in our turbulent world

+ Talking to kids about God

+ Holding onto faith, even through hard times

+ Having civil conversations with philosophical opponents

+ Viewing our ideological opponents as humans

+ Protecting your energy through collective trauma

This week I'm hosting Elise Tabin, former Executive Beauty Editor at New Beauty Magazine and the founder of Twiish Skin, the line for tweens and teenagers who want to get in the skincare game, but don't want to be stealing their mom's products. (Because let's be honest, those products aren't for their skin anyway!)

Elise and I run through:

+ The exact products your tween or teen should be using

+ The ingredients they need, and the ones they need to avoid

+ Why she chose colloidal silver to feature in Twiish

+ Red light therapy

+ Procedures for the moms like buccal fat removal, lip lift, and other procedures

...and more!

Iran recently launched what it says was a retaliatory strike against Israel, sending hundreds of missiles into Israel. But will Israel retaliate, and what would it look like if it did?

Christopher Hinn, former Senior Middle East advisor

We cover what he thinks cold happen next; what's happening in the Middle East; and his thoughts on how the U.S. should respond.

This week on the podcast you're coming home with me to McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania.

An Italian-American enclave about ten miles west of Pittsburgh, it's the home of the once-famous Primadonna restaurant, which serves as the backdrop of the story you'll hear this week from "On the Rocks" author Maria Palmer--daughter of the restaurant's owner, Joe Costanzo.

"On the Rocks" chronicles Joe's rise to success in the 1990s as not only the owner of the Primadonna, but also a radio host, columnist, and aspiring politician, to his sharp fall in the early 2000s, ending in a stint in federal prison.

Maria walks us through what it's like to watch as everything her father has built comes crumbling down, and what it's like to recover from it.

Come with us on a conversation that dives into hard work, loyalty, betrayal, and a whole lot of Italian food.

Let's be honest: It’s easy to turtle away in when you live in America--ignore the real problems that are happening in the rest of the world.

That’s why it’s even more important to stay informed.

Today we’re going in hard on a big political topic that's top of mind these days, as war rages in the Middle East and we hit the two-year mark in the Russia/Ukraine conflict: Should America just mind its own business when it comes to foreign conflict?

Here is the Vitamin C serum that I'm using that's made my skin crazy bright.

When you slather on that Vitamin C serum that you paid $100 for, when was it mixed? How long will it last? And how do you know you’re using the right amount on your skin?

Liz Whitman is the founder of Exponent Beauty, a company that makes skincare products that pretty much eliminate the need to worry about any of the above.

Caroline D'Amore posted about what happened on October 7th. She never could have guessed what happened next.

Caroline, owner of Pizza Girl and girl about (LA) town, decided one day to post about her Jewish friends struggling after the October 7th attacks.

The Reel was viewed 6 million times in one day, and that's when her chapter with what I call "accidental activism" kicked off.

Since then, she's been to Israel and met hostages' families, and she explains in this episode why she has a heart for both Israeli and Palestinians on this contentious issue. She also talks about how people can continue to show up to ask questions and learn more about it.
