    Blood on the Streets: The Middle East Explained for People Who Hate the News

    This week on The Weekly Squeeze, I’m walking you through what is actually happening across the Middle East,  without the academic jargon, and without pretending any of this is normal. We start with Iran, where protests have turned deadly, rumors are darker by the day, and a regime is openly waging war on its own people. From there, I zoom out to the rest of the region, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and then bring it home to life inside Israel, the security reality, the internal political battles, the UNRWA fight, the cost of living, and the constant background noise of living in a country that never gets a quiet week. This episode is for people who hate politics and hate the news but still want to understand what is going on without losing their minds. It is honest, blunt, unapologetically pro Israel, Torah grounded, occasionally dark, sometimes funny, and very much how Israelis actually process the world around us right now.

    Aliyah Taxes, Strong Jewish Girls & Why I Talk to Myself

    In Episode 222 of The Weekly Squeeze, I’m coming at you from cold, rainy, gorgeous Israel where rain is a bracha, my son won’t stop yelling “Mommy, come see the blessing!”, and Gaza’s tent cities are getting the flood they prayed for. I break down Israel’s brand-new 2026 tax changes for olim, explain what stays the same, what gets complicated, and why you need Olim Advisors before you book your ticket. Then I dive into one of my favorite topics: strong Jewish women  the ones who sacrificed everything and the ones who built empires between carpools. I’m joined by Melanie Goldberg Silver, author of Strong Jewish Girls from Gefen Publishing, and we unpack how she chose 50 powerhouse Jewish women, why their stories matter more than ever, and how this book became a five-and-a-half-year labor of love. We talk Miriam, Hannah Szenes, Golda Meir, Gracia Mendes Nasi, Asenath Barzani, Ofra Haza, Shifra and Puah, Devorah Rom, and yes  why Rebbetzin Chana Schneerson absolutely belongs in Volume Two. Then, in true Weekly Squeeze fashion, I pivot straight into premium nonsense:  • Octopuses have REM sleep and dream like caffeinated neurotic Jews  • Americans are putting olive oil in their coffee and instantly regretting it • Studies say talking to yourself means you’re a genius so I’m a genius • Mayor Eric Adams visits Israel, Trump sprays cologne on world leaders, and Hamas is still being Hamas I wrap up with a reminder to follow all my pages, subscribe, leave a five-star rating, and if you’re thinking about Aliyah call Olim Advisors and tell them I sent you. ⚡ Get Melanie’s book here: Bedtime Stories for Strong Jewish Girls https://www.amazon.com/Bedtime-Stories-Strong-Heroines-Changed/dp/9657801699 MAKE ALIYAH WITH OLIM ADVISORS!
