Living Lchaim

The #1 Jewish podcast for real inspiration. Powerful conversations rooted in Judaism, Jewish identity, and faith. From Jews who've overcome impossible odds to leaders shaping Israel and Jewish life worldwide.

Inspiration for the Nation with Yaakov Langer

What happens when you open your front door and just never close it? For over 40 years, Rabbi Mordechai Machlis and his late wife Henny hosted Shabbos in Jerusalem for anyone who walked in. No invitations. No RSVPs. Forty years of Shabbosim plus every Yom Tov adds up to well over half a million meals, served to everyone from homeless men to the Archbishop of Canterbury. This is the story of the most open house in Jerusalem.

R' Mordachei Machlis: Feeding 470,000+ Strangers in My Jerusalem Home

Rebbetzin Sara Yocheved Rigler spent 15 years living in an ashram. She meditated three times a day, taught Vedanta & Hindu philosophy, and served as personal secretary to the guru. She went east searching for God.

Then one conversation with an Orthodox rabbi turned her whole world upside down. 8 months later, she was studying Torah in Jerusalem.

Today she is one of the most widely read Jewish authors alive and a world class Torah teacher. We spoke about those 15 years in the ashram, a life altering (and reincarnation) experience around her fear of having children, and what she found in Judaism that 15 years of Eastern spirituality never gave her.

Rebetzin Sara Rigler: She Was a Hindu Nun for 15 Years Until a Rav Asked Her Real Name

This summer, Rabbi Yehoshua & Hadassa Zweig faced an unimaginable tragedy. After a terrible accident on Lake Michigan, their daughter Chana Malka and son Yosef both fought for their lives, but tragically, neither survived. R’ Yehoshua shares their story and somehow finds the strength to speak about grief, faith, who his children were, and the lessons they left behind.

Shira Alexander: What My 16-Year-Old Daughter Taught Me Before She Died

Chanan Gans was a Jewish teen touring America in a rock band, immersed in the world of music, freedom, and self-discovery. At the very same time, Aharona was traveling through Thailand and India, living among monks and searching for spirituality, truth, and deeper meaning. Thousands of miles apart, both were on their own journey to find purpose and God. Then came a mysterious dream, an unexpected coincidence in Israel, and a meeting that changed everything. Today, Chanan and Aharona are Chassidish, raising a family in Baltimore and sharing the incredible story of how two wandering Jewish souls found faith, Judaism, and each other. This is their wild, emotional, and unforgettable journey of destiny, spirituality, and divine providence.
