    #132: When We See You Again: Grief, Trust & the Light That Comes Through with Rachel Goldberg-Polin

    Send us Fan Mail Rachel Goldberg-Polin on Faith, Grief, and Meaning After Hersh’s Captivity | From the Inside Out Hosts Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein interview educator and author Rachel Goldberg-Polin about her book When We See You Again, her family’s life in Jerusalem, and the loss of her son Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was taken hostage from the Nova Music Festival on October 7 and later murdered after 328 days in captivity. Rachel recounts her path into Orthodox Jewish life starting in eighth grade at an Orthodox day school, describes how tefillah and Torah have sustained her, and shares how Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning—relayed to her through released hostage Or Levy—became a tool for enduring suffering by finding purpose. She discusses Modeh Ani, trust in Hashem amid uncertainty, grief as an expression of love, “toxic positivity” versus “tragic optimism,” and verses and teachings that frame this world as a hallway to the next.

She unpacks “Omer” (manna measure, barley offering, forgotten sheaf for the needy) as receiving from God, returning to God, and giving to others, and defines “Sefirah” as counting, story, and shining, framing the Sefirot as divine vessels and soul powers. Using building a business, she maps Keter through Malchut and applies the framework to relationships, procrastination, balancing effort with surrender, and the 49-day count leading to an uncountable 50th, emphasizing that simply counting fulfills the mitzvah and that God meets us in our humanity.

    Send us Fan Mail Dr. Edith Eger: Holocaust Survivor on Choice, Freedom, and Healing From the Inside Out In this episode of From The Inside Out with Rivkah Krinsky & Eda Schottenstein, we're re-releasing an early, cherished interview after Dr. Edith Eger’s death, honoring the Auschwitz survivor, psychoanalyst, and author of The Choice, who taught that while we can’t control circumstances, we can choose our response. Eger recounts liberation after being left for dead, the loss of her parents and first love, guilt about her mother’s death, and how returning to Auschwitz helped her forgive herself. She discusses Viktor Frankl’s influence, finding purpose, sharing rather than hoarding, and distinguishing distress from stress. Eger offers guidance on self-love as self-care, expression as an antidote to depression, revisiting trauma, responding instead of reacting, compassionate listening with children, and building relationships through responsibility, growth, and hope, insisting hate keeps us imprisoned and that love is shown through actions. 00:00 Tribute to Edith 02:11 Meeting Edith Again 02:30 Liberation and Legacy 03:53 Frankl and Purpose 05:19 Dancing to Survive 05:54 First Love Lost 07:27 Rescued from Death 08:10 Joy and Growth Mindset 11:35 Guilt and Forgiveness 12:17 Faith and Sharing Bread 14:57 Have Tos and Hope 17:30 New Books and Recipes 19:24 Wisdom and Self Love 21:02 Secrets and Expression 21:46 Kind Words Only 22:48 Choices After Trauma 23:40 Speak Your Truth 24:55 Evolving Beyond Fear 27:08 Mind Freedom in Auschwitz 29:57 Forgiveness and Freedom 31:06 Validate Feelings at Home 34:45 Marriage Lessons Twice 37:41 Respond Don’t React 39:45 Legacy and Final Yeses COMMUNITY Join the Community!

He explains the Omer as a yearly “spiral” of spiritual energy for sequential introspection, contemplation, improvement, and change through 49 emotional “shades” of the sefirot, describing how mind guides emotion, how tools can be used by the godly or animal soul, and offering practical examples on balancing chessed and gevurah, managing impulsivity and anger, cultivating positivity (Tracht Gut; Gam Zu Letovah), and Emunah vs. Bitachon, concluding with a guided Modeh Ani meditation.

    Send us Fan Mail Finding Inner Freedom on Pesach: Rabbi YY Jacobson on Shame, Surrender & Redemptive Consciousness This episode is dedicated in memory of Rivkah’s grandfather Mr. Max New, OB"M. In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, we welcome Rabbi YY Jacobson to discuss why many people lack inner freedom even in good external conditions, emphasizing that freedom requires disciplined inner work: noticing one’s “Egypt,” pausing before reacting, cultivating curiosity, prayer, support systems, and being truly seen. Jacobson explores destructive vs. holy shame, Tanya’s model of distinguishing animal and divine consciousness, surrendering control to God without surrendering to abuse, and experiencing embodied oneness as redemptive consciousness. He also contrasts revealed and hidden miracles (Pesach vs. Purim), reflects on current events and collective resilience, and highlights softening the heart, authenticity, and non-transactional relationships.

    Send us Fan Mail Dr. John Delony on Anxiety, Marriage, and Turning Insight into Action In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, we  welcome Dr. John Delony to discuss how lasting change requires action, not just insight. Delony connects his approach to lessons from his father, a homicide detective and hostage negotiator who moved toward crisis, and his mother, who began college at 42 and earned a PhD at 57. He argues anxiety is an internal alarm system and that money, anger, and relationship problems often signal deeper issues beneath surface labels. Delony critiques cultural narratives that prioritize feelings and overload romantic partners amid widespread loneliness, urging couples to build friendship, service, and practical “repair” strategies. He recommends choosing reality through honest inventories, building trusted connections (including “outsourcing” perspective to reliable people), and prioritizing health, sleep, and faith.

Velvel shares his unconventional journey—from a full-time yeshiva education and Rabbinical ordination to scoring a perfect 180 on the LSAT and stepping into high-stakes litigation—plus how Torah learning shaped his mindset, discipline, and clarity. Chyena opens up about the dignity and joy she finds in being the foundation of the home, and how the right partnership can elevate every area of life. Together, we discuss Shabbos as a “forced gift” of rest, navigating pressure without losing priorities, staying professional with strong boundaries, and why in marriage you’re not meant to argue to win—you’re meant to build a life as one team.  What makes this conversation so powerful is that it’s not just about success—it’s about what success is built on. Throughout the episode, Velvel and Chyena show what it looks like to be led by a guiding principle, even when life is demanding. The episode closes with their mantra, “Ein od milvado”—a grounding reminder that everything is in Hashem’s hands. No matter what season you’re in, you’ll walk away with something practical, uplifting, and real.
