    Send us Fan Mail It’s All About the Children | Ep. 734: De’Vante Montgomery - Faith Into Action, Part 2 | HMTC A moment of prayer at the Kotel gave De’Vante Montgomery a profound sense of home and strengthened his decision to continue his journey toward Judaism. In Part 2 of It’s All About the Children, hosts Carin Bail and Sami Steigman continue their conversation with De’Vante about faith, identity, advocacy, and responsibility to the next generation. He reflects on experiencing Shabbat in Jerusalem, returning to New York with renewed purpose, and learning that spiritual conviction does not require convincing everyone else to follow the same path. De’Vante explains why his advocacy emphasizes calm communication, cooperation, courage, and love of one’s neighbor. He calls on community organizations to respect their different strengths while finding practical ways to work together. The conversation also explores what draws him to Orthodox Judaism, how structure and mitzvot guide his daily life, and why faith continues to motivate his service. His final challenge is simple: move beyond posting and participate in meaningful work.

ELEM reaches out first. In Part 2 of Habits of a Whole Heart, host Arnie Herz continues his conversation with Liora Attias Hadar, CEO of American Friends of ELEM, and Roni Moskovich, manager of ELEM’s youth center in Safed, Israel. They explore ELEM’s digital clinic and anonymous chat support, which help trained teams identify and respond to young people facing self-harm, exploitation, bullying, or acute distress. Roni describes the Good People program, where volunteers create safe spaces at festivals and remain available for continued support. Liora also explains how community-based outreach in East Jerusalem connects young people with trusted local staff. The episode closes with a broader challenge: replace “What do I need?” with “Where am I needed?” For Liora and Roni, success begins whenever a young person feels seen, imagines a future, or takes one step toward safety and stability.

    Ep 728: The Butterfly Effect with Gilad Avrahami & Bernie Furshpan on hmTv

    Send us Fan Mail The Butterfly Effect | Ep. 728: Listening Across Difference and Rejecting Groupthink | HMTC Four people can witness the same car accident from four corners and honestly tell four different stories. The disagreement does not mean one person is lying. It means each person saw only part of the picture. On The Butterfly Effect, co-hosts Gilad Avrahami and Bernie Furshpan examine how fear, social-media algorithms, groupthink, and repeated talking points can narrow perspective and accelerate hatred. They ask what educators and individuals can do when difficult conversations seem impossible. Bernie argues that empathy is strength and that listening must come before persuasion. Gilad explores how dialogue can move beyond passive understanding toward shared values and constructive action. Their conversation offers a practical starting point: approach another corner, ask what the other person sees, and share your own perspective without dismissing theirs. Listening may not resolve every conflict, but it can weaken isolation, restore independent thinking, and remind us that we belong to one human family.
