    Singles Speak Out: Dating, Shadchanim & The System

    Dating in the Jewish world is anything but simple. We sit down with Dovi Neuburger (from Teaneck) & Eli Geller (from Lakewood), for the guys part. Then we (Gitta, my wife joined me) sit down with Nechami Tenenbaum (from Detroit) & Rachel Pekarsky (from Elizabeth, NJ). These four singles have very different experiences and opinions on navigating the shidduch system, dating pressures, and the so-called "shidduch crisis." We delve into: - The unspoken rules of matchmaking - How expectations vs. reality can break people - The stigma of being single in the community - Are matchmakers helping or hurting the process? - The brutal truth about dating apps vs. traditional setups More from Dovi here: His IG: https://www.instagram.com/dovineuburger/?

    Orit Mark Ettinger: Should Israel Release Terrorists for Hostages? A Victim Speaks Out

    Orit Mark Ettinger has been through a lot. She lost her father in a terrorist attack (a Hamas terrorist who was released during the Gilad Shalit exchange), her brother while serving in the Mossad, her cousin rescuing Jews on October 7, and her brother in Gaza. Yet, she radiates faith, light, positivity, and hope. Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier, was captured by Hamas in 2006 and held in Gaza for over five years, sparking widespread public campaigns for his release. In 2011, Israel secured his freedom in a controversial deal, exchanging 1,027 Palestinian prisoners, including those convicted of serious crimes. While his return was celebrated as a national priority, the high cost of the exchange raised concerns about security and future kidnappings.
