    Aleeza Ben Shalom | Matching a Nation | Episode 75

    Navigating the modern dating world right now feels like an absolute jungle. Between the weight of everything our people are facing post-war and the exhaustion of apps that treat human souls like disposable products, finding real connection can feel completely impossible. That is why this episode was so incredibly meaningful to me. ​ This conversation features a true force for the Jewish nation, the global phenomenon and star of Netflix’s Jewish Matchmaking, Aleeza Ben Shalom. While she is a world-renowned modern dating expert who has successfully paired over 200 couples, what makes her so special is just how incredibly down-to-earth, raw, and real she is. You might think that because she is religious, she wouldn't understand the realities of today's secular dating scene, but she knows exactly what is going on. ​ We skip the polished, cliché advice to ask the deep philosophical questions about love, validation, and faith. Aleeza opens up about her personal journey moving her life and her kids to Israel, her dedication to the survival of the Jewish family, and how to break bad patterns to find a love that lasts. She is an absolute inspiration, a beautiful soul, and a true champion for Am Yisrael. ​​✨ Connect with Aleeza Ben Shalom: ​📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aleezabenshalom ​🌐 Website (Discovery Call & Coaching): https://marriagemindedmentor.com ​📚 Book (Matchmaker, Matchmaker):  https://amzn.to/3NWOAf0 🎥 YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@aleezabenshalom ✨ Connect with Dayna: ​ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_dayna_show ​🔔 Subscribe to the channel so you never miss an episode!

We share a unique bond as former Canadians who cherish our upbringing there, but for both of us, Israel is the only place we call home. ​ Beyond the screen, Ashley holds a Master’s in Counter-Terrorism and served as an officer in the IAF. Even with the hostages finally home, including her cousin Agam Berger, her mission hasn't stopped. She continues to lead as a digital pioneer, a major podcasting voice, and the founder of AWB Makeup—all while raising five children. ​ In this episode, we’re getting past the titles to talk about the real cost of a public life.

Much has changed since his first appearance in Episode 12.  Drawing on years of experience strategizing for brands like Google and Apple, Eitan’s focus has shifted toward a more urgent, personal mission: the fight against global antisemitism. ​In this episode, we move past the professional headlines to explore the man behind the movement. Eitan shares a raw perspective on reclaiming the Jewish narrative and explains why "Jewish Pride" is the ultimate act of resilience in 2026. We discuss the psychological toll of the ongoing conflict with Iran, the struggle to maintain a creative spirit during times of trauma, and the delicate balance between planning for the future and surrendering to fate. This is a deep dive into identity, courage, and the necessity of finding your voice when the rest of the world goes silent. ​If this conversation resonated with you, please subscribe to the channel and share this episode with someone who needs to hear this message of pride and resilience today. ​Connect with Eitan: https://substack.com/@eitanchitayat https://imthatjew.com/ https://www.instagram.com/eitanchitayat_words/ https://www.youtube.com/@EitanChitayat_Words https://www.facebook.com/eitanchitayat ​☕️ Support my work and future episodes: https://buymeacoffee.com/TheDaynaShow
