Dan Feferman has spent years of his adult life doing what I aspire to do. He builds bridges and fosters healthy and constructive dialogue between people who might not otherwise ever get a chance to meet and speak.

I believe the hard conversations are what most NEED to be given a voice. This will be one of them.
There are people out there, more than you know, whose spouses refuse to give them a (religious) divorce. This takes the already difficult scenario of divorce & makes it exponentially more awful.

To finish off my episode about Resilience, I drew in from my years of nursing experience, where we can't allow our empathy for our patients to affect us.
I really appreciated being able to host this fascinating and important conversation!

Howard Rosenman has lived quite the life. Produced hit movies including Father of the Bride, but in our topic of Resilience, he tells us about the resilience he needed growing up gay in a tough, unforgiving world.

He's a world renowned Historian, and the way he speaks is just truly inspiring. Gil Troy really is awesome.

The idea of having a comedian on an episode about PTSD and resilience might seem insane, but it's exactly what the doctor ordered, as Tehran Von Ghasri added insight, empathy, and some much needed comic relief to the experience. Thank you my friend!

Way back in 2009. I created my first cleanup of LA's Pico/Robertson neighborhood. There were a hundred of us, from Camp Boaz (yes that was a thing)!

It was a true honor, a kavod, to have the venerable Rabbi YY Jacobson on my show about PTSD.
He brought up the millennia of Jewish trauma, and explains how it has created a sense of self-loathing in many of us. Truly fascinating stuff.

One of the most underreported things about Israel, is how much national pride there is for many of its Israeli Arab citizenry.
Maayan Hoffman is one of countless Jewish Israelis to have close friendships across the religious divide.

This will not be exploitative. I will not be showing graphic videos. It is entirely to honor the memories of the many who were tragically lost that day, and serve as a giant hug for those left behind.

Barbara Heller does such a GREAT job of vocalizing how after decades of intifadas, Israelis really need to talk, scream and listen.
A friend for so many years, Barb is going to be such a natural fit adding Marriage and Family Therapy to her large toolbox!

My incredible sisters-in-law Rikki and Karin created Orot Healing, focusing their efforts on PTSD. First for the Nova Survivors who they brought to a retreat a year and a half ago, and now for the soldiers that the show Fauda is based on, as well as their spouses.

This is gonna be fun!
For years I've watched shows like Survivor and Traitors, And one of my favorite parts is getting to watch the reunion episode when they gather much of the cast, and find out what's happened since then. Now I get to do it myself, for Netflix's "Jewish Matchmaking!"

He's a talented musician. His words are frequently published in the @jewishjournal.bsky.social. And it was a pleasure having Peter Himmelman on the show!

If I was Muslim, I can't even pretend to guess how I would feel about Israel, Jews, Antisemitism, as well as Islamism. What I do know, is that Soraya Deen is a proud Muslim woman, who stands up in the face of hatred from so many, so that she can be a true ally to Jewish and Israeli men and women.

She lives in Israel. She helps others with their trauma, as a therapist. But she has trauma herself, because everyone does in Israel. Fascinatingly, Micki Lavin-Pell explained how therapeutic it's been for so many in Israel to step up and help each other through their shared traumas. Beautiful.

This is insane. On my Instagram feed, hundreds of thousands of people every day continue to debate whether putting Liam on the ride was irresponsible. This is so funny. Look at those numbers at the bottom, WTF 😂

Chava Floryn is inspiring. Just a couple of months after the horror show that was October 7th, she was flying to Israel to film her latest documentary. "Resilient" explores how both individuals and an entire nation try to cope with PTSD on both the micro and macro scale.
