    Ep. 18 Rakel's Story of Healing After Tragedy and Sharing Her Message Through Music

    In this beautiful and intriguing episode of Between the Strings, I sit down with Raquel- a singer, artist, and Kabbalah student whose life story is a testament to resilience, purpose, and spiritual transformation. Rakel opens up about her early years in a strict Catholic environment, the questions that led her to seek a deeper connection to the Creator, and the profound losses and miracles that shaped her path. She shares the heartbreaking story of losing her first husband to suicide at age 26, the spiritual revelation that followed, and the moment she chose to turn her pain into purpose. Rakel also recounts the night she survived a violent home invasion- and the unexpected compassion that appeared in the midst of fear- and how that experience ultimately led her to Kabbalah. She talks about the miraculous return of her voice after doctors told her she would never sing again, the music career she built against all odds, and the impact her songs have had on people around the world. We also explore the beauty of her Kabbalistic wedding, the spiritual lessons from her teachers, and the role of creativity, joy, and inner-child connection in her current work and upcoming album. This episode is raw, heartfelt, and deeply inspiring- a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is light guiding us toward who we are meant to become. Tune in for a story of faith, purpose, and the incredible power of choosing transformation.   Connect with Rakel at: Instagram

    Ep. 17 Roy's Story of Waking Up to a Deeper Reality and Truth About Religious Trauma

    In this episode of Between the Strings, we sit down with Roy Krengel — a dentist, father, and devoted student of Kabbalah whose journey into spirituality began through unexpected upheaval and profound awakening. Raised in a traditional Jewish household, Roy struggled with deep religious angst after his father abruptly adopted extreme orthodox practices. This shift sparked years of rebellion, confusion, and a disconnect from anything spiritual. Roy opens up about the moment that shattered his world: when his wife suddenly chose to leave their marriage, their children, and the life they built together to pursue her own path abroad. This painful rupture became the catalyst for Roy’s greatest transformation. Join us as Roy shares how anxiety, loss, and unanswered questions led him into therapy, vulnerability, and ultimately an encounter with a Hmong shaman — an experience that redirected him toward the mystical teachings of Kabbalah. Together, we explore: ✨ Healing religious trauma and reframing rituals through spiritual wisdom ✨ The awakening that comes from looking inward rather than outward ✨ The process of surrendering control, trusting the Creator, and allowing life to be co-created rather than self-carried ✨ How integrating spirituality has reshaped Roy’s parenting, his work, and his entire approach to success This episode dives deep into the journey of rediscovering faith without dogma, rebuilding trust after heartbreak, and finding meaning beyond the physical world. Tune in for an authentic, healing conversation on awakening, resilience, and the power of returning to your own inner guidance.

    Ep. 13 Arezu’s Story of Miracles, Guidance, and Authentic Teaching

    In this episode of Between the Strings, we sit down with Arezu to explore her powerful and inspiring journey. Despite being raised in an extremely spiritual household, her soul—like every soul—was not without its own challenges. From navigating the pain of her parents’ divorce to finding her place while feeling “different,” Arezu’s story reminds us that spirituality does not exempt us from life’s lessons, but instead equips us to meet them with depth and resilience. Her path has taken her through the study of many ancient spiritual traditions like kundalini yoga and sufism, each one shaping and preparing her for the authentic way she now shares the wisdom of Kabbalah. Along the way, she opens up about miracle moments that guided her directly to her study with Kabbalah, and the profound experiences she had in Israel—moments that she now strives to bring to others. Today, Arezu teaches and shares in a way that is uniquely her own: authentic, guided, and rooted in both experience and Light. She also reveals her vision for her upcoming Israel Women’s Retreat, where she will invite others to step into a similar journey of connection and transformation. *Join Arezu & Danit for their “Shema Israel Retreat” that is unlike any retreat or experience, a soul pilgrimage through Tzfaat & Jerusalem visiting holy sites and sacred portals being guided by renowned female leaders sharing Kabbalah & Torah teachings, with feminine embodiment practices ranging from Yoga, Meditation, Dance & Breathwork. A time to uncover your innate power as a women & discover genuine sisterhood. Dates: Oct 28-Nov 2nd   https://shemaisraelretreat.my.canva.site/shema-israel-womens-retreat   Connect with Arezu at: https://www.instagram.com/inspire_zu/
