Link to video version of this interview: https://youtu.be/7CBHWJwmAJIMany people know Pessy from her popular Yiddish comedy videos, where she lovingly and hilariously captures the world of Hasidic women. She was one of the first creators to bring that world to social media through a female lens, and her sharp observations and humor have earned her a devoted following.But behind the comedy is a remarkable personal story.Pessy grew up in a Hasidic family in Monsey and spent much of her childhood carrying responsibilities that no child should have to carry. As the oldest sister, she watched her family struggle through the challenges surrounding her younger sister and felt an overwhelming need to hold everything together. She learned early on that being "good" and "perfect" seemed to be the safest way to survive difficult circumstances.In our conversation, Pessy speaks with extraordinary honesty about family, faith, rejection, and the pressure she felt to meet everyone's expectations. She shares how religion became a source of comfort, how she entered marriage determined to be the perfect wife, and how she concealed her own struggles because she didn't want to burden the people she loved.What makes Pessy's story so powerful is not simply what happened to her, but the way she reflects on it. She brings insight, humor, and compassion to experiences that could easily have left her bitter. Her story touches on themes that are deeply personal and yet almost universal: the desire to be accepted, the weight of responsibility, the loneliness of feeling misunderstood, and the long journey toward self-acceptance.Pessy's story is, in many ways, everyone's story. I hope you'll watch this conversation with kindness and an open heart.You can find Pessy on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/pessyunstressing/You might also enjoy some of my other interviews with women from the Yiddish-speaking Hasidic community:Melissa Weiszhttps://youtube.com/live/j16Dlc5iRGoFradel Neumanhttps://youtu.be/HoTzWaF7dU8Sara Braunhttps://youtu.be/1E54wVSn-wMGita Katzhttps://youtu.be/2saQ0LEwZXQAs always, my interviews are also available in audio-only form wherever you get your podcasts.And thank you especially to my channel members for helping make these conversations possible.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-frieda-vizel-podcast--5824414/support.

There are people whose cruelty makes us question humanity. But there are also people whose goodness raises an equally profound question. How is it possible for ordinary human beings to show such extraordinary compassion, forgiveness, and selflessness? Today I tell two remarkable stories. One is the ethical commitment of Magen David Adom, whose medics are taught to save every life - including those who have just committed acts of terror. The other is the heartbreaking story of eight-year-old Charlotte Herzberg of Monsey, New York. After Charlotte was tragically killed by her father's closest friend in a terrible accident, her parents publicly forgave him and transformed their grief into a movement encouraging forgiveness and reconciliation. Through the Shalom for Charlotte initiative, thousands of people have already shared stories of letting go of anger and choosing peace. If evil can spread from one person to another, perhaps goodness can too. Today, I invite you to honor Charlotte's memory in the same way her family has asked thousands of others to do: forgive someone, let go of a grudge, make peace where you can, or perform an unexpected act of kindness. The world has enough examples of hatred. It always needs another example of extraordinary goodness.

Episode 80 of What Gives?—the Jewish Philanthropy Podcast from Jewish Funders Network, hosted by JFN President and CEO Andrés Spokoiny. In this episode, Andrés speaks with Mitch Silber, CEO of the Community Security Initiative and former Director of Intelligence Analysis for the NYPD. Mitch and Andrés talk about the changing security landscape facing Jewish communities in New York, across the United States, and around the world. Mitch shares how 9/11 led him from corporate finance into counterterrorism, what he learned helping build the NYPD's intelligence and counterterrorism capacity, and why the American Jewish community's approach to security changed so dramatically after the attacks in Pittsburgh, Poway, Jersey City, and Monsey. Also discussed are the range of threats facing Jewish institutions today, from white supremacists and Islamist extremists to violent anti-Israel actors, and the difficult questions that follow: what volunteers can and cannot do, when armed security is necessary, how local and national security organizations coordinate, and where philanthropy can make the most concrete difference. Take a listen.

When Life Throws You a Curveball, Surrender Becomes a LifelineThis is the fourth class in a series on the discourse "V'atah Yigdal Na Koach Adnai," presented by the Alter Rebbe, Rabbi Schnuer Zalman of Liadi, on Shabbos Shlach, 28 Sivan, 5566, June 14, 1806, published in Likkutei Torah Shlach. This class was presented by Rabbi YY Jacobson on Thursday, Parshas Shlach, 26 Sivan, 5786, June 11, 2026, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. The class explores why the deepest form of performing mitzvos is without reason; we discuss the argument of Reb Yishmael and Reb Akiva, how the Jews responded to the Ten Commandments, with a "yes" or a "no," and how when life hands you a curveball which you can't fit into your framework, "bitul" becomes a blissful lifeline. We explored at length the address of the Rebbe Shabbos Shlach, 1989, how when Moshe was told he should decide for himself if to send the spies, he felt he was given a new path in Judaism. G-d was telling him to trust himself. But how do we know when to trust ourselves and when not? The answer is: Trust your divinity, not your anxiety.View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9936

Have We Deprived a Generation of EXPERIENCING Yiddishkeit & Chassidus?This is the third class in a series on the discourse "V'atah Yigdal Na Koach Adnai," presented by the Alter Rebbe, Rabbi Schnuer Zalman of Liadi, on Shabbos Shlach, 28 Sivan, 5566, June 14, 1806, published in Likkutei Torah Shlach. Rabbi YY Jacobson gave the class on Monday, Parshas Shlach, 23 Sivan, 5786, June 8, 2026, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. The class focused on a letter Rabbi YY received from a Yeshiva boy lamenting how so many youth experience Judaism and Chassidus as something that can't really resonate with their most authentic selves; for it to be true, it must be miserable. He addressed the proper way to communicate Judaism, Chassidus, and Tanya, igniting a fire in the eyes of our students and children. The class explores the concepts in Tanya of "the mind ruling the heart," and "pushing away your feelings and cravings with two hands," as well as the "banuni," not focusing on emotions, but on thoughts, words, and actions.View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9932
