Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

* Exposing Lev Tahor: What Happened to the Children? - Rabbi Blum
Q: So your mission is to bring awareness?
Yes, the aim is to expose the practices of Lev Tahor, highlight the danger to children, and mobilize resources to rescue and rehabilitate survivors.
Why You Can’t Let Go of a Narcissist | Yankle Meislin
Q: Is there a solution or path out of this cycle?
Yes, by recognizing the dynamic, building an inner sense of self-worth, setting boundaries, practicing empathy without absorbing the other person's pain, and focusing on personal healing and possibly external support systems.
Why You Can’t Let Go of a Narcissist | Yankle Meislin
Q: Why is this dynamic so intoxicating in the early stages?
It feels exceptional because the other person showers the codependent with pedestal-like admiration, making them feel uniquely valued and special, which can be intoxicating and addictive.
From surviving abuse to preventing it—her story could save a child’s life- Yitty Denciger
Q: What is grooming and how does it work in your story?
Grooming involves adults placing themselves in trusted positions (principal, rabbi, therapist) and gradually testing boundaries, manipulating trust, and isolating the victim to extend control.
Sarah Guigue Gets Real About Life, Loss & Faith
Q: I want to talk to you about marriage.
My marriage works because we practice deep listening, validation, and give each other space to express our own truths while staying connected to shared values and Hashem. It's about respecting differences and growing together.
