Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Cycling Can Fix Your Brain (Adventure Therapy) | Rabbi Nachum Wasosky
Q: What was the turning point that convinced you to start Geerz as a formal organization rather than continuing as a youth program within Hakshiva?
After seeing the transformative impact of mountain biking on the kids and recognizing a broader potential to help more youth with a structured curriculum, I resigned from Hakshiva and launched Geerz as its own entity.
How Cycling Can Fix Your Brain (Adventure Therapy) | Rabbi Nachum Wasosky
Q: So how did you decide to stay in Israel and pursue this path instead of returning to a traditional career in real estate or business?
A mentor pushed me to explore why I needed to be here and to consider living in Israel first and building a life with purpose, which led me to study in Isha Torah and later to found Geerz.
Don’t Give up Yet: Today’s “No” Is Tomorrow’s “Yes” | Rabbi & Rebbetzin Schneider
Q: What is the core message you want listeners to take away from your infertility journey?
The core message is to focus on what you can control, stay vertical in faith, and recognize that challenges are opportunities for growth and deeper connection with God and family.
One of the Most Unlikely Conversions to Judaism Ever
Q: Can you outline the timeline from meeting to conversion and how the kids were involved in that decision?
We started exploring Judaism in 2018, moved through intensive study with a sponsoring rabbi, and began the formal Beit Din process in 2021. Our two oldest children were part of the journey from the start, and the Beit Din required that all our kids be on board for the conversion to proceed, which they were. The process lasted two and a half years, culminating in our conversion in 2023 and ultimately leading to aliyah in 2024.
Israeli Mom of 5 Became Israel’s Marathon Champion: Beatie Deutsch Story
