In this episode, Dave and Ashley Willis, alongside hosts David and Anne Wilson, share their journey of navigating marriage, mental health, vulnerability, and the struggles that come with facing hidden struggles, such as anxiety, depression, and pornography. The conversation is deeply personal as they explore the challenges they've faced in their own marriages, offering listeners practical advice and powerful stories of grace and healing.The episode opens with a humorous and warm exchange between the hosts and guests. Dave and Ashley Willis drive down from Atlanta to Orlando and talk about their marriage ministry, which has flourished through Facebook, podcasts, and other online resources. They began with a simple Facebook page called "Marriage," later rebranded as “Naked Marriage.” This title, while provocative, is grounded in the biblical concept of "naked and unashamed," emphasizing the importance of emotional intimacy in marriage. They highlight the idea that marriage should be a place of full vulnerability, where secrets are laid bare, and trust is developed.Ashley shares a personal story about the struggles with anxiety and depression she faced early in their marriage. For years, she kept her anxiety a secret from Dave, feeling deep shame. However, after a painful moment of realizing she couldn't carry the burden alone, she finally confided in Dave. His patient, understanding response played a pivotal role in her healing process. This moment is a beautiful example of what it looks like when partners support each other in marriage, choosing presence over the need to fix.The conversation then turns to the topic of pornography, which, despite its prevalence in society, remains a taboo subject in many marriages. Dave shares his own battle with pornography, acknowledging the secrecy and shame he felt, and how it became a significant obstacle in his marriage. He describes his initial decision to keep his struggles hidden from Ashley, believing he could overcome them on his own. However, when Ashley discovered his secret years later, the initial confrontation was intense, filled with emotions of betrayal, anger, and shame. Over time, with grace, accountability, and the support of each other, they worked through the difficulty together.The couple discusses the ongoing challenges that many couples face regarding pornography in their relationships, and they emphasize that it is a problem in and out of the church. They point out that while it's a difficult issue to confront, bringing it into the light is the key to finding freedom and healing.The episode wraps up with an invitation for listeners to access their free eBook, Nine Days to Great Sex, a resource designed to help couples break free from barriers like pornography and rediscover intimacy. It's clear from this conversation that both Dave and Ashley, as well as David and Anne, have made it their life's mission to help married couples build trust, communicate openly, and develop deeper emotional intimacy.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Judy Lannon, author of the book The Making of Genevieve. Judy's award-winning contemporary women's fiction resonates with readers through its honest and relatable depiction of women and their life experiences. In her debut novel, Nine Days, we meet the Austin family and their narcissistic mother, Genevieve. Inspired by reader requests for more about the mother's character, Judy wrote “The Making of Genevieve.” A conversation with a friend inspired Judy to write “Nine Days,” which won awards soon after publication, launching her writing career. Within two years, The Making of Genevieve was published. Her books have been recognized by The American Writers Association for Best New Debut Fiction and Best Women's Fiction, The Firebird Book Awards, and The New York City Big Book Awards. Judy lives and writes at her home on Cape Cod, MA near the Atlantic Ocean. Though she thinks it's a cliché to say the ocean inspires her, she happily accepts that label because it's a constant presence in her writing. In my book review, I stated The Making of Genevieve is a fabulous women's fiction with a historical setting on the Cape. Genevieve grows up in an affluent area, and though very comfortable, aspires to be in the upper class. And, unlike her peers, she does not see a life that starts and ends with a husband and children. Instead, she wants to be a famous interior designer first - maybe a husband and maybe a family. Unfortunately for Genevieve, a secret she only shares with one other person changes everything. Her marriage to an up and coming young man turns sour after WWII PTSD causes him to turn to alcohol to cope, while her one true love chooses a calling that excludes her. Through it all, she pushes, pulls, streamrolls, and demands her way through issue after issue, always sure that the world is hers for the taking. The Making of Genevieve is a wonderful story of perseverance and resilience as a women tries to make it in a man's world. But just as importantly, it is a hard look at how secrets can lead us to make questionable choices and make life harder than it needs to be. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

It's been a long 97 months...wait...nine days? NINE DAYS!?! Holy smokes, how are we gonna get thru this? Well...I've got some ideas. Some good, some...less good. But we gotta start somewhere. Talking about deportations and the fallout you weren't thinking about and the ultimate power grab by Trump...freezing spending in violation of the laws and constitution of this country. Surely there's pushback for this obviously impeachable offense? Surely...surely...sure...dammit.Well, I still love you all. Fight on.- T
The shidduch process can be very frustrating, waiting for suggestions, waiting for responses. Sometimes, things look like they are going so well, and all of a sudden, everything falls apart. Sometimes, after waiting a long time, a prospective shidduch is finally set up. The girl begins getting excited, hoping this could be the one. Then, on the day they are supposed to meet, the boy calls in sick and somehow never follows through. Getting rejected or overlooked is considered tremendous yesurin . We don't know why people have to experience them, but for sure, they are accomplishing so much through their experience. Every moment of waiting is accomplishing different types of tikkunim that will benefit them for all eternity. As hard as it is to imagine, everything is happening exactly the way Hashem wants it to happen, for the person's benefit. If the person can stay strong in their emunah and trust that they are in Hashem's loving hands, the value of what they are experiencing will become exponentially greater. No matter how long it has been or how bleak it seems, we must always have the emunah of ישועת ה' כהרף עין -everything can change in the blink of an eye. Salvation can literally come at a moment's notice. Part of a person's responsibility as a God-fearing Jew is to always have hope that salvation could come instantly. The Jewish world was overjoyed when we found out last year that a Rosh Yeshiva in Israel had his first baby at the age of 88. The Rosh Yeshiva had lost his first wife in 2015 and then, at the age of 82, remarried a woman in 2018 who was more than 30 years younger than him. Six years later, she miraculously gave birth to a healthy baby boy. The Rebbetzin told the incredible story of how this shidduch took place at a massive gathering in Lakewood, and Rabbi Binyamin Prusansky related it in his new book, Living with Miracles . After marrying late and having a family, she found herself alone again. She was nearly 50 years old and had one dream: to marry a talmid chacham . She strengthened her emunah and prayed to Hashem to make it happen. In the meantime, she dedicated a sefer on tefilla as a zechut for herself and others, written by Rabbi Daniel Travis. She was hoping to get married within the year, but as the end of the year approached, not one shidduch had been suggested to her. One Erev Shabbat , she brought her son to the orthopedist to have his cast removed. On her way into the building, she slipped and fell down a flight of steps. She hobbled into the office and was told that she had pulled some tendons and might have a hairline fracture. When she arrived home, she sat in the kitchen and elevated her leg, resting her foot on a chair while her children prepared for Shabbat. As she sat there, she noticed her diary on the kitchen table. Skimming through it, she came to a notation she had made for Tu B'Av, which was just two weeks away. The date was circled, and written on the page were the words, Im Yirtzeh Hashem, My Wedding Day . Sitting there with her injured foot, just two weeks away from what she so fervently believed would be her wedding day, she felt dejected. She had worked so hard on her bitachon . How could this be the outcome? But then she caught herself and said, "Hashem can do anything. I need to remain hopeful—Hashem could bring me a shidduch in the blink of an eye." That Shabbat, she focused her thoughts and heart on building her confidence that Hashem could answer her tefillot כהרף עין . On Motza'eh Shabbat , a shadchan called with a suggestion—it was the Rosh Yeshiva. The shadchan said what set her resume apart from others was that Rabbi Daniel Travis, a student of the Rosh Yeshiva, was listed as one of her references. Rabbi Travis read to the Rosh Yeshiva the dedication she had written in his sefer , which expressed her profound love and support for Torah. Those words convinced the Rosh Yeshiva that he had found his zivug . Their meeting took place during the Nine Days. About thirty minutes into their conversation, the Rosh Yeshiva asked her, "What date would you like the wedding to be?" Unprepared for the question, she steered the conversation in a different direction. But then, ten minutes later, he asked again, and again she diverted the discussion. A few minutes later, he asked her if she wanted to get married, to which she replied, "Yes." "So when do you want the wedding to take place?" he asked. She said, "Tu B'Av is a beautiful day to get married." "Tu B'Av it is," the Rosh Yeshiva answered. And eleven days later, their wedding was held. It had seemed like salvation was far off. But the Rebbetzin renewed her strength in believing in ישועת ה' כהרף עין , and amazingly, she was married on Tu B'Av, just as she had hoped.
In his Netflix sports docuseries Losers, director Mickey Duzyj explores how people respond to failure in a culture where “winning is everything” – and how failure can sometimes lead to greater success.

This episode discusses the halachos of the Nine Days and Erev Tisha B'Av and Tisha B'Av.
Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
Our custom is to refrain from eating meat during the Nine Days, from Rosh Hodesh Ab until after Tisha B'Ab, except on Shabbat. The question is often asked whether it is permissible to eat after Shabbat meat that is left over from Shabbat. Is this food permissible since it was prepared for Shabbat, or is this food permissible only during Shabbat, but not after Shabbat? The Halachic authorities permit eating leftover meat from Shabbat on Mosa'eh Shabbat, when it is customary to eat the Melaveh Malka meal. With regard to eating leftovers after Mosa'eh Shabbat, different opinions exist among the Halachic authorities. The Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1807) writes that there are proofs to both views, and therefore although it is preferable not to eat leftover meat after Mosa'eh Shabbat, those who are lenient in this regard have authorities on whom to rely, and one should not protest against their practice. This is the view followed by Hacham Ovadia Yosef, though he adds that minors (below the age of Bar Misva) may eat leftover meat even Le'chatehila (according to the optimum level of observance). Generally, one should not allow children to eat meat during the Nine Days once they've reached the age when they understand the concept of mourning the destruction of the Bet Ha'mikdash. When it comes to Shabbat leftovers, however, since in any event some authorities allow eating such food even beyond Mosa'eh Shabbat, one may feed them to minors. It should be noted that this applies only to food that was prepared for Shabbat but was not eaten over the course of Shabbat. If one intentionally prepared extra meat before Shabbat in order to have leftovers after Shabbat, it should not be eaten after Shabbat, as this is considered improper "Ha'arama" ("trickery"). Summary: If one has leftover meat from Shabbat during the Nine Days, he may eat it for Melaveh Malka after Shabbat. After Mosa'eh Shabbat, it should not be eaten, but those who are lenient in this regard have authorities on whom to rely. Children below the age of Bar Misva may eat leftover meat even past Mosa'eh Shabbat.

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
The Shulhan Aruch (Orah Haim 551) cites three views regarding the consumption of meat and wine during the period before Tisha B'Ab. The first opinion is that meat and wine are forbidden only during the week of Tisha B'Ab, from after the Shabbat preceding Tisha B'Ab until after the fast. According to the second view, meat and wine are forbidden already from Rosh Hodesh Ab, whereas the third position forbids meat and wine throughout the three-week period from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz through Tisha B'Ab. The accepted custom in our community follows the second view cited by the Shulhan Aruch, forbidding meat and wine during the Nine Days, from Rosh Hodesh Ab through Tisha B'Ab. However, whereas the Ashkenazim refrain from wine and meat already on Rosh Hodesh Ab, the custom among the Sepharadim is to allow meat and wine on Rosh Hodesh Ab, and to begin observing the prohibition only after Rosh Hodesh Ab. This custom is codified by Rav Yaakov Haim Sofer (Baghdad-Israel, 1870-1939), in his Kaf Ha'haim (126). The Kaf Ha'haim also mentions, however (in 122), that if a person recites Arbit before sundown on Rosh Hodesh Ab, then he may no longer eat meat or drink wine, even before sundown. Since he already recited Arbit, the prohibitions of meat and wine take effect, even though the sun had not set. Thus, for example, if on Rosh Hodesh Ab a person recites Arbit at 7:15pm, he may no longer eat meat or drink wine, even though the sun does not set for another hour. If a person has a milk allergy and cannot digest dairy foods, and he thus has difficulty finding foods to eat during the Nine Days when meat is forbidden (such as if, for whatever reason, he cannot eat fish), then he should consult his Rabbi for guidance. The Kaf Ha'haim (146) writes that under such circumstances there is room to allow eating poultry, since there were no bird sacrifices in the Bet Ha'mikdash that were eaten, and the status of poultry during the Nine Days is thus more lenient than that of beef. A person who cannot eat dairy foods should therefore consult with a Rabbi to determine whether his condition allows him to eat chicken. Likewise, if a person must eat meat for medical reasons, as directed by a physician, then he should consult with a Rabbi to determine whether he may eat meat. The Kaf Ha'haim (148; listen to audio recording for precise citation) writes that the Sages did not apply this prohibition in situations of illness, and thus if one's doctor instructs that he must eat meat for health purposes, he may do so. In all such situations, however, a Rabbi must be consulted for guidance. Summary: The custom of the Sepharadim is to refrain from meat and wine from the second day of Ab through Tisha B'Ab. If a person needs to eat meat for medical reasons, or has difficulty finding foods to eat, such as if he has an allergy to dairy foods, he should consult with a Rabbi for guidance.

The Sages instruct, "Mi'shenichnas Ab Mema'atin Be'simha" – "When Ab enters, we reduce our joy." This means that with the onset of the month of Ab, we are to avoid certain undertakings that bring us special joy. Thus, for example, one should not have his home freshly painted or wallpapered during the period of the Nine Days from Rosh Hodesh Ab though Tisha B"Ab. Likewise, it is forbidden to make any kind of renovations or purchases for the home that are done for strictly decorative purposes. It is also customary not to make significant purchases that bring a person special excitement, such as a new car. Strictly speaking, such purchases are allowed during the Nine Days, but the accepted custom is not to make major purchases like these, since they bring a person joy which is inappropriate for this period of mourning. Major purchases should therefore be delayed until after Tisha B'Ab. Similarly, during the Nine Days one should not purchase items for a bride and groom in preparation for their marriage, since these are joyous purchases. However, if the wedding is taking place immediately after Tisha B'Ab, and one might not have a time to make the necessary purchases after Tisha B'Ab, then he may buy the items during the Nine Days. Furthermore, if the price for the items will go up after Tisha B'Ab, then one may make the purchases during the Nine Days in order to avoid a financial loss. It is forbidden to eat meat during the Nine Days. However, the custom in our community is to eat meat on Rosh Hodesh Ab, the first of the Nine Days. Summary: One may not have his home freshly papered or wallpapered during the Nine Days. It is preferable to avoid major purchases – such as the purchase of a car – during the Nine Days, as well as purchases for a bride and groom. However, if there may not be enough time before the wedding after Tisha B'Ab, or if the price will be higher after Tisha B'Ab, the one may make the purchases during the Nine Days. Meat is forbidden during the Nine Days, but the custom in our community is to eat meat on Rosh Hodesh Ab.
Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:What do the Nine Days teach us today? What is the Rebbe's unique approach to this saddest time of the year? How does this period help us face challenges? How does Rosh Chodesh Av empower us? Can we expect that the sadness of this period will be transformed to joy? Should we be afraid of our enemies threatening us? What is the best way to fight our enemies? What can we learn from this assassination in Tehran, in a private place? Are we allowed to celebrate the deaths of our enemies? Can we desecrate their graves? What does the Torah say about offense being the best defense? What should be our reaction to Israeli soldiers being arrested for abusing Hamas terrorists? Why do we have an enemy that wants to destroy us in every generation? Why isn't there greater emphasis on fighting radical Islam and its mandate to take over the world? Did the Rebbe comment on the Islamic Revolution and Khomeini? Should we start buying property now in Israel? Why are we not doing more to unite Jews? What should be our attitude to Jewish antisemites? Why don't you openly come out against the current democratic party? How should we address the current crisis following the assassination of prominent terrorist leaders? Is it wise to assassinate the enemy's leaders? War in Israel Jewish Unity Presidential Election Sholom Bayis: How do you distinguish between healthy compromise and becoming a “doormat”? What is the significance of Shabbos Chazon?

Is it permissible to move into a new house or apartment during the Nine Days, from Rosh Hodesh Ab through Tisha B'Ab? The Poskim rule that one may move into a new house or apartment during the Nine Days if it will be his primary residence, as opposed to a vacation home and the like. As long as this home will be his place of primary residence, it is permissible. In fact, one who moves into a new home during the Nine Days may conduct a "Hinuch Ha'bayit" celebration, which entails simply reading words of Torah and distributing food, both of which, of course, are entirely permissible during the Nine Days. One should not, however, recite the Beracha of "Shehehiyanu" during the Nine Days, and thus one who moves into a new home should wait until after Tisha B'Ab to recite this Beracha. (Our practice is to purchase a new suit and then recite the Beracha over the suit, having in mind that the Beracha should cover the new home, as well.) Hacham Ovadia Yosef ruled that one may purchase a new car during the Nine Days if this is necessary for professional or commercial purposes, such as for traveling to and from work. If one wishes to buy a car for other purposes, however, this is permissible only if the car will be unavailable after Tisha B'Ab, or if the price will be higher after Tisha B'Ab. Leasing a car is permissible during the Nine Days, as one does not acquire ownership over the car. (Based on Yalkut Yosef, p. 173, Halachot 58 & 60) Summary: One may move into a new residence during the Nine Days if it will be his primary residence, and he may even host a "Hinuch Ha'bayit." One may purchase a car for professional purposes during the Nine Days. Purchasing a car for other purposes is permissible only if the car will be unavailable after Tisha B'Ab, or if the price will be higher after Tisha B'Ab. Leasing a car is permissible during the Nine Days.
On this episode of “613 Books” podcast, producer and host Heather Dean speaks with caterer, workshop leader, and author of the recipe book “Straight to the Plate,” Menuchah Armel. The onset of “The Nine Days” of National mourning is Rosh Chodesh Av, when we diminish or “decrease our joy.” Among the laws and customs of these days is refraining from eating meat (except on Shabbat). Menuchah shares many ideas for parve and dairy main dishes, side dishes, kid-friendly meals, and what foods her family partakes of before and after the Tisha b'Av fast. With her kids out of school during this time, check out how Menuchah keeps them busy with an Armel family activity they call “The Falafel Store,” in which the youngsters prepare and “sell” this traditional Israeli meal.

Nachum welcomed renowned author and storyteller Rabbi Paysach Krohn to this morning's JM in the AM to explore his latest ArtScroll release: "From Sorrow To Celebration: Inspirational Stories and Insights from the Maggid." Always remember to use promo code RADIO24 when purchasing anything at ArtScroll.com. From the ArtScroll website: The Three Weeks. The Nine Days. Tisha B'Av. Mourning, tragedy, Churban, destruction. But then...Tu B'Av. Comfort, joy, celebration; a festival like no other. As believing Jews, we know that in the darkest, most painful moments lie the seeds of joy and rebirth. Still, it takes a genius of optimism and emunah - it takes a Rabbi Paysach Krohn - to show us how to find positivity while never minimizing the pain of the Churban. In this book - this extraordinary book - he shows us how. In From Sorrow to Celebration Rabbi Krohn shares compelling divrei Torah and - of course - dozens of poignant and uplifting stories. Stories that open new vistas of Ahavas Hashem, Ahavas HaTorah, and Ahavas Yisrael. Stories showcasing the awesome power of our prayers and our tears, the great opportunities that teshuvah offers us. We will enrich our understanding of the Three Weeks, the Nine Days, Tishah B'Av and Megillas Eichah. And then... we move From Sorrow to Celebration, with fascinating sections on the Bais HaMikdash, Ahavas Yisrael, Shabbos Nachamu, Mashiach and Geulah and (mazal tov!) the joyous day of Tu B'Av. In another unique section, Rabbi Krohn shares brief biographies and riveting stories of gedolim whose yahrzeits fall in the period of the Three Weeks until Tu B'Av, including Rashi, the Arizal, and Rav Elyashiv, adding still another level of inspiration in these sorrow-filled months. From From Sorrow to Celebration is about the cleansing of our sadness. It's about the possibility of rebuilding - both the Beis HaMikdash and also ourselves. It is about the tears... and the laughter that follows those tears.
