What If He Isn't Frum?

I Can Forever Blame “The System,” Or I can Discover the "Prophet" Inside of Me

In this week's episode of the Meaningful People Podcast, Keshet Starr, CEO of Shalom Task Force and a leading advocate in the fight against domestic abuse in the Jewish community, joins Nachi Gordon for a powerful and eye-opening conversation about one of the most difficult issues facing the Jewish world today. Keshet shares what domestic abuse actually looks like behind closed doors, why it is often missed by friends and family, and how emotional, financial, spiritual, technological, and physical abuse can manifest in relationships. She also discusses the realities of working with survivors, the warning signs people should recognize, and why abuse is far more prevalent than many realize.   The conversation explores why victims often struggle to leave abusive relationships, the unique challenges that exist within Orthodox Jewish communities, and the role that stigma and silence continue to play. Keshet also offers practical guidance for those dating, newly married, or concerned about someone they love, sharing red flags to watch for and the importance of healthy communication, boundaries, and conflict resolution. This is an important discussion about awareness, prevention, and ensuring that those who need help know they are not alone.

The Atlantic's David Frum helps Matt unpack the biggest political stories of the week under Trump's second term — from shaky foreign policy wins to domestic self-inflicted wounds. During this conversation, David and Matt cover a TON of ground, including:— Trump's tentative Iran deal and the Strait of Hormuz: Why Frum says the U.S. has already lost strategic dominance and Iran remains in control— Shocking Democratic Senate candidate problems: The “Nazi tattoo” contender in Maine and the leading candidate in New Jersey with Al-Qaeda ties — and how this poisons the national brand— Trump's gaudy White House renovations, gold-leaf excess, and the cage-fight spectacle for America's 250th anniversary — a stark contrast to 1876 and 1976 celebrations— The proposed $250 bill featuring Donald Trump and what it reveals about narcissism and drift from founding principles— Jill Biden's “horrified” debate night account — stroke fears, the cover-up, and lessons on vice-presidential succession failures from Obama to Harris— Newt Gingrich now calls the Clinton impeachment a mistake — Frum's takedown of the revisionism and character questions— Pentagon preparations for potential Cuba action — humanitarian opportunity or another Trump distraction/war?— Justice Department investigating E. Jean Carroll's case funders (Reid Hoffman) and the weaponization pattern— J.D. Vance grading the Pope's AI encyclical and why Frum says the VP should stick to non-controversial issues— 2026 Midterm outlook: Democratic popular vote edge vs. GOP gerrymandering advantage — and why candidate quality could cost Dems the SenateSubscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

Chanan Gans was a Jewish teen touring America in a rock band, immersed in the world of music, freedom, and self-discovery. At the very same time, Aharona was traveling through Thailand and India, living among monks and searching for spirituality, truth, and deeper meaning. Thousands of miles apart, both were on their own journey to find purpose and God. Then came a mysterious dream, an unexpected coincidence in Israel, and a meeting that changed everything. Today, Chanan and Aharona are Chassidish, raising a family in Baltimore and sharing the incredible story of how two wandering Jewish souls found faith, Judaism, and each other. This is their wild, emotional, and unforgettable journey of destiny, spirituality, and divine providence.✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬► BitBean: Smart Custom Software Built for YouYaakov here.

Author and journalist Danielle Crittenden Frum discusses her profound new book, Dispatches from Grief: A Mother's Journey Through the Unthinkable. In our conversation, she chronicles the devastating loss of her daughter, Miranda, and how such a sudden loss shatters one's sense of reality. Danielle also discusses why maternal grief carries a distinct weight, the complications modern technology adds to mourning, and why conventional narratives about healing and closure are, at best, incomplete and, at worst, outright wrong. She offers guidance on supporting those experiencing profound loss, ultimately reflecting on marriage, memory, and what moving forward actually means.

He explains the Omer as a yearly “spiral” of spiritual energy for sequential introspection, contemplation, improvement, and change through 49 emotional “shades” of the sefirot, describing how mind guides emotion, how tools can be used by the godly or animal soul, and offering practical examples on balancing chessed and gevurah, managing impulsivity and anger, cultivating positivity (Tracht Gut; Gam Zu Letovah), and Emunah vs. Bitachon, concluding with a guided Modeh Ani meditation.EPISODE SPONSORSYakira Bella Yakira Bella is the go-to for trendy, modest women's fashion that still feels current—think playful-but-polished pieces, elevated basics, and outfits that actually work for real life (day-to-day, Shabbos, events, everything in between).

Send us Fan MailFinding Inner Freedom on Pesach: Rabbi YY Jacobson on Shame, Surrender & Redemptive ConsciousnessIn this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, we welcome Rabbi YY Jacobson to discuss why many people lack inner freedom even in good external conditions, emphasizing that freedom requires disciplined inner work: noticing one's “Egypt,” pausing before reacting, cultivating curiosity, prayer, support systems, and being truly seen. Jacobson explores destructive vs. holy shame, Tanya's model of distinguishing animal and divine consciousness, surrendering control to God without surrendering to abuse, and experiencing embodied oneness as redemptive consciousness. He also contrasts revealed and hidden miracles (Pesach vs. Purim), reflects on current events and collective resilience, and highlights softening the heart, authenticity, and non-transactional relationships.EPISODE SPONSORSColel Chabad Colel Chabad is one of Israel's oldest continuously operating charities, supporting families with food security, widows & orphans, and emergency relief.  Their Pushka (Charity Box) App makes it easy to turn inspiration into action with simple daily giving—small “micro-donations” that add up to real impact over time.

This week, The Hub gathered readers and listeners in Ottawa's National Arts Centre for a live conversation between Sean Speer, The Hub's co-founder and editor-at-large, and David Frum, leading author, thinker, and journalist. The two discussed the escalating U.S.–Iran conflict, the erosion of institutional guardrails in Donald Trump's second term, and the implications for Canada. Frum argued that we're witnessing a fundamental rupture in the international order that requires Canada to think and act like a middle power navigating between three potentially hostile giants.

Send a textDr. John Delony on Anxiety, Marriage, and Turning Insight into ActionIn this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, we  welcome Dr. John Delony to discuss how lasting change requires action, not just insight. Delony connects his approach to lessons from his father, a homicide detective and hostage negotiator who moved toward crisis, and his mother, who began college at 42 and earned a PhD at 57. He argues anxiety is an internal alarm system and that money, anger, and relationship problems often signal deeper issues beneath surface labels. Delony critiques cultural narratives that prioritize feelings and overload romantic partners amid widespread loneliness, urging couples to build friendship, service, and practical “repair” strategies. He recommends choosing reality through honest inventories, building trusted connections (including “outsourcing” perspective to reliable people), and prioritizing health, sleep, and faith. The episode includes sponsorship messages for Colel Chabad's Pushka app and Shefa Living's Mountain View community.EPISODE SPONSORSColel Chabad Colel Chabad is one of Israel's oldest continuously operating charities, supporting families with food security, widows & orphans, and emergency relief.  This episode is powered by their Pushka (Charity Box) App, which makes it easy to turn inspiration into action with simple daily giving—small “micro-donations” that add up to real impact over time.

Leading author, journalist, and thinker David Frum discusses Prime Minister Mark Carney's shift in Canadian foreign policy. Frum examines Canada's re-engagement with China and India despite sovereignty violations, arguing the country faces difficult choices between values and survival, especially in the Trump era. He also explores the viability of middle-power coalitions and why Canada must prepare for bad options with limited resources in an increasingly dangerous world.   The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.   Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go: https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)  https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify) Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=en   CREDITS: Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer Alisha Rao - Sound Editor Sean Speer - Host Adrian Wyld/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit   To contact us, sign up for updates, and access transcripts email support@thehub.ca

The Atlantic's David Frum returns to discuss Donald Trump's second term one year in. From making $1-4 billion through family enrichment and foreign deals (including Abu Dhabi investments tied to national security favors), to unprecedented corruption on a scale never seen in American history, Frum argues Trump has turned the presidency into a personal ATM — dwarfing petty scandals like Hunter Biden's.We dive into why corruption is an underrated story, the collapse of checks and balances, Supreme Court impunity, tariff-driven price hikes, the Epstein fallout shattering Trump's myth for some supporters, ICE controversies including the Minneapolis shootings, cracks in Trump's coalition (from Thomas Massie to far-right figures), JD Vance's risky plays, Kamala Harris's future, and threats to 2026/2028 elections via voter intimidation.Frum warns of kleptocracy risks, national security betrayals, and why Trump's betrayal of core conservative values (like guns) could be fatal to his movement. And that's just for starters. This is a must-listen for anyone tracking Trump's impact on democracy.Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

Henchy Cohen opens up about her parents' divorce - a split that forced her, at just seven years old, to live between two opposite worlds: her father's Hasidic community and her mother's secular life. She talks about the confusion, the judgment, and the quiet strength it took to hold her family together while figuring out who she was. Through it all, Henchy never lost her sense of faith or drive - turning a painful divide into the foundation for a life built on clarity, compassion, and conviction.Her IG: https://www.instagram.com/henchy2.0/✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬► Hiring4Less: The Smart Way To Grow Your BusinessHire a full-time remote employee for only $7 an hour.

Now that there's a Frum brigade what's the justification of Frum people at least who aren't learning not to go to the army?

If the Frum will become a majority in the country what will you do then? If Torah obligates hishtadlus, what is the minimum practical hishtadlus a nation must take to prevent harm?

In this Meaningful People episode, financial advisor Moshe Alpert and community advocate Shmuly Hartstein unpack why many frum “middle‑class” families earning $200–300K still feel underwater—tuition that rivals a salary, yom tov and camp costs, seminary and simcha expectations, and the quiet creep of credit‑card debt. They debate income‑based tuition and communal funding versus personal responsibility, and share practical moves: make a real plan, build a budget, ask for a raise or start a side hustle, prioritize local schools in tzedakah, consider lower‑cost simchas or out‑of‑town living, and protect your family with insurance and a will.

Katie sits down with David Frum, Atlantic writer and host of an eponymous podcast, to take stock of a dizzying news cycle: a government shutdown framed around false claims about healthcare for immigrants, a surreal Quantico meeting where military leaders were treated as political props, and Donald Trump’s vow to punish his opponents through prosecutions. Frum explains how the U.S. budgeting system turned into a "failure machine,” what’s happening to Supreme Court neutrality, and what it means when Trump spreads vulgar AI videos of his opponents. Frum’s bottom line? This might be a fire hose of news, but it's our duty as citizens to keep up, not tune out.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John welcomes New York Times scribe Robert Draper and Atlantic staff writer and podcast host David Frum to discuss the political reverberations from the fatal shooting of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. Draper joins the show from Kirk's home base in Arizona, and assesses the impact of the shooting on those who revered him in the MAGA movement and the future of the organization he founded, Turning Point USA. Meanwhile, Frum takes stock of how the Trump administration is moving aggressively to advance its broader agenda in the wake of Kirk's assassination, and of FBI Director Kash Patel's contentious back-to-back appearances before oversight committees in the Senate and House this week.

David Frum joins Joanna Coles to unpack the jaw-dropping scale of Donald Trump's presidential profiteering—from the $400 million Qatari plane to his so-called ‘presidential library' money funnel. Frum, Senior Editor of The Atlantic and host of the new podcast The David Frum Show, explains how Trump turned the presidential office into a personal ATM—and why the Republican party let him. He breaks down why Trump's grift dwarfs anything in U.S. history, how social media fuels both the scam and the silence, and why the real question isn't what Trump will do next, but what we'll tolerate.
