Video link to this episode: https://youtu.be/4MPf67ftXMEJacob Kornbluh is a Hasidic reporter covering the Mamdani beat at a moment when Zohran Mamdani has become a lightning rod in Jewish communities. For many, Mamdani represents fear, anger, political anxiety, and deep uncertainty about where New York is headed. And in the middle of that storm is Kornbluh.Recently featured in The New York Times, Kornbluh occupies a complicated position. He reports on power while belonging to a community that often feels scrutinized by power. During COVID, some Hasidic critics accused him of “reporting on” the community to city officials. That tension hasn't disappeared. If anything, it's intensified.I went into this interview not knowing what to expect. As a Hasidic man speaking with me, and about issues that feel raw and personal. This conversation surprised me and left me with an invite to travel across the world to a wedding. You never know!You can follow Jacob Kornbluh here:

In this episode of The Neshamah Project, Rabbi Ben Newman explores the deeper meaning of “Vayikchu li terumah” — not as giving something to God, but as taking the Divine into our own lives. Drawing on Hasidic and kabbalistic teachings, we look at how Torah, sacred language, and sustained practice can shape us over time, like the forty-day formation of both the human body and the revelation at Sinai. What might it mean to build an inner sanctuary where the Shekhinah can truly dwell?

Link to video version of this conversation: https://youtu.be/2iPiYwftPygIn this interview, I speak with Miriam Vidal about her childhood growing up as a Jehovah's Witness, and her eventual decision to leave the faith.As a Hasidic child growing up in Kiryas Joel, there was a strange building behind my house that we simply called “the church.” Every Saturday, rows of cars would pull up, and we kids would stand by the gate, watching and waving. Only years later, after I had left my own religious community, did I learn that this building was actually a Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall.Miriam was one of the people attending services there.In this conversation, Miriam shares what it was like to grow up inside the Jehovah's Witness community: the rules, the rhythms of daily life, the sense of belonging, and the limitations placed on childhood, education, and social life. We talk about her memories of the Kingdom Hall in Kiryas Joel, the wider culture of Jehovah's Witnesses, and what it meant; emotionally and psychologicall... to leave such a structured religious world.This interview is also about what comes after leaving: identity, belief, grief, freedom, and the slow work of figuring out who you are when the framework you grew up in falls away.As someone deeply interested in religious subcultures, exit narratives, and the sociology of faith, this conversation felt especially meaningful.... almost like closing a loop that began when I was a child in my Shabbos dress, waving at strangers I didn't yet understand.Topics we cover include:-Growing up as a Jehovah's Witness-Family life, schooling, holidays, and missionizing-The Kingdom Hall in Kiryas Joel and Miriam's memories of it-Community, ritual, and belonging-Leaving a high-control religious environment-The emotional and psychological impact of exiting-Spiritual life and identity after leaving-Reflections on religion, culture, and comparison with other faith communitiesWant more?Watch my video about the Jehovah's Witness Church in Kiryas Joelhttps://youtu.be/naUJMITJ5sYWatch my interview with Martha Ross, who left the Amish:https://youtu.be/teadpfXWCO4My own recounting of what it's like to grow up in Kiryas Joelhttps://youtu.be/uHu_17N9GdEThe story of Anna Shternshis:https://youtu.be/hKN0_75EuqEStay tuned for more stories of subcultures and religious groups.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-frieda-vizel-podcast--5824414/support.

Welcome to the show. We are joined by Howard Langer — award-winning writer, attorney, and author of 'The Last Dekrepitzer', a novel that has already earned the National Jewish Book Award and marks his first work of fiction in fifty years. Howard is the founder of a leading antitrust law firm in Philadelphia, an adjunct professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, and a teacher whose work has taken him from Oxford to Tokyo. Yet in this conversation, we meet him foremost as a storyteller — one deeply concerned with memory, justice, and the fragile persistence of the human spirit. The Last Dekrepitzer opens in a New York subway station in 1965, where a lone fiddler braids Hasidic melodies with blues and gospel. He is the Dekrepitzer Rebbe — the final survivor of a vanished Chasidic sect destroyed in the Holocaust. From a lost Polish shtetl to the docks of Naples, from the American South to Manhattan streets alive with music and tension, his journey becomes an odyssey of survival, displacement, faith, and identity. Through encounters that cross cultures and histories, the novel asks a difficult question: how does a person live — spiritually, morally, musically — after everything has been torn away? Howard studied under literary giants Yehuda Amichai and Aharon Appelfeld, and his writing carries that lineage of moral seriousness and poetic depth. Critics have praised the novel for introducing one of the most singular figures in contemporary Jewish fiction — a character haunted by memory, sustained by music, and forever wrestling with God. Today's conversation is about faith and fracture, about music as a vessel for memory, and about what we continue to carry long after the world tells us to move on. It is a discussion of survival not as an ending, but as a lifelong reckoning — personal, communal, and spiritual. I'm glad you're here. ——

his episode of The Neshamah Project explores a Hasidic teaching that insists liberation happens one person at a time, each according to their own inner awareness and capacity. We reflect on Moses as a figure of parental love—one who carries others forward and, like The Giving Tree, gives so deeply that he does not enter the land himself. Alongside this, we consider a vision of power rooted not in harm or domination, but in chesed: elevation, presence, and freedom you can actually taste.

video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/RK7_--5f0TcWhat happens when intimacy is expected before it's understood?The Wedding Night is a striking and deeply intimate documentary by Orthodox filmmaker Rachel Elitzur. It explores a rarely discussed reality inside ultra-Orthodox Jewish life: couples who marry after only a handful of supervised dates, then face the expectation of consummating their marriage on the wedding night.The film grows out of Elitzur's own traumatic wedding-night experience, which led her to seek out others with similar stories. Many participants felt unable to appear on camera, so their voices are heard anonymously, paired with carefully staged reenactments performed by actors. A very unusual method of storytelling. In the shorter version published in the New York Times in December 2025, the actors were totally removed.

When the Shadow Meets Grace: Advaita and Kabbalah in Dialogue

Shadow to Self with Acharya Shunya

In this episode, Vedic wisdom meets the depths of Jewish mysticism as host Acharya Shunya sit sin dialogue with Rabbi Matthew Ponak. Together, they explore how the shadow is not something to be conquered but met with divine intelligence, how ancient traditions guide us when the self feels fragmented, and how grace arrives when effort alone falls short. Drawing from Advaita and embodied Kabbalah, this conversation moves beyond theory into lived experience, revealing how sacred lineages across cultures point toward the same inner rescue: remembrance, humility, and the quiet help that comes when we stop pretending we can do it alone. Rabbi Matthew Ponak is a teacher of Jewish mysticism and spiritual counselor, ordained with honors from Hebrew College's neo-Hasidic rabbinical school and author of Embodied Kabbalah.
