Money, Shidduchim & Pressure: What’s Really Going On? | Rabbi Joey Haber

Hosts
Nachi Gordon Momo
Guests
Rabbi Joey Haber
Keywords
Jewish personalities Torah life status and materialism success expectations community dynamics financial pressures lavish weddings shidduch process values and assumptions

In this riveting episode, Rabbi Joey Haber sits down with Nachi Gordon for an unfiltered, thought-provoking conversation that tackles some of the most pressing—and often taboo—questions in the Jewish world today.

What does it really mean to live a Torah life in a world obsessed with status? How can we tell the difference between true mitzvah and materialism? Are we setting up our youth for failure by defining success through narrow expectations—like the 3-to-5-year Kollel rule?

From the Syrian and Ashkenazi community dynamics to financial pressures, lavish weddings, and the emotional toll of the shidduch process, Rabbi Haber addresses it all—with clarity, humility, and refreshing honesty.

This is more than a conversation—it’s a mirror for our values and a wake-up call for our assumptions.

From acclaimed historian Uri Kaufman—whose analysis of the Yom Kippur War was hailed as a "masterpiece" by the CIA's Center for Intelligence—comes the urgent new book: "American Intifada: Israel, The Gaza War and the New Antisemitism."

Jewish personalities Lag BaOmer Meron disaster kindness legacy inspiration loss community

On Lag BaOmer, Mirlana Morris opens up about the life and legacy of her son Donny, who tragically passed away in the Meron disaster of 2021.

In a deeply moving conversation, Mirlana shares intimate memories of Donny’s character — a vibrant, kind, and meticulous young man who touched countless lives with his quiet acts of kindness and sincerity.

From his early years in Teaneck, NJ, to his transformative time at Yeshivat Sha’alvim in Israel, Donny stood out for his warmth, discipline, and inclusivity.

Mirlana recounts the events of that painful night, the confusion and heartbreak that followed, and the powerful stories that emerged afterward — from Donny comforting kids at camp to always making sure to call his grandmother before Shabbat.

Despite the unimaginable loss, she speaks about Donny’s enduring impact and how he continues to inspire others through small, thoughtful actions. This emotional tribute is a testament to how one young life can make an everlasting difference.

Rahel Bayar: 7 Years As A Child Abuse Prosecutor, What She Found Is Beyond SHOCKING!

Hosts
Nachi Gordon
Guests
Rahel Bayar
Keywords
child abuse prosecutor Rahel Bayar The Bayar Group abuse prevention harassment prevention domestic violence sexual assault body safety frum community

In this powerful and deeply insightful conversation, Rahel Bayar sits down with Nachi Gordon to discuss her journey from being a sex crimes and child abuse prosecutor in the Bronx to founding The Bayar Group, an organization dedicated to abuse and harassment prevention across North America.

Rahel shares how her early aspirations in psychology shifted to law, leading her to work on some of the most difficult cases imaginable—domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual assault. With years of courtroom experience and firsthand exposure to trauma, she eventually asked herself: Can this be prevented?

Now a leading educator and consultant, Rahel trains schools, camps, and youth organizations on how to build safe environments without instilling fear. She breaks down practical prevention tools—like teaching children about body safety, the difference between secrets and surprises, and how to foster open communication—especially within the frum (religious Jewish) community.

Whether you're a parent, educator, or community leader, this episode will leave you thinking differently about what it means to protect children and empower communities.

“No healthy grown-up needs a child to keep a secret.” — Rahel Bayar
