In this episode of From The Inside Out with Rivkah and Eda, we tackle the paradoxes and puzzles that we come up against in Torah and Judaism with Rabbi Dov Schochet. Right in time for Rosh Hashana, this episode will help you enter the new year with clarity, drive, and purpose. We cover questions such as:

-What are the Torah’s guidelines on seeking and granting forgiveness?

-What is the Torah’s view on healing and finding joy?

- What does Teshuva mean practically for us today?

- What is the Torah's view on balancing materialism and spirituality, especially when asking for blessings on Rosh Hashanah?

- How should one navigate the political landscape as a Torah-observant Jew?

- Can the Torah laws adapt to modern developments?

- How do you reconcile the idea that "the world was created for me" with humility?

-What guidance does the Torah give on deciding between staying in yeshiva and entering the workforce?

- What is healthy love according to the Torah, and how does it differ from selfish or destructive love?

And many more!

Even with the best intentions, it’s easy to forget or miss a day of giving charity. Imagine the opportunity to partner daily with the Lubavitcher Rebbe in giving Tzedaka.

71 years ago, the Rebbe launched Keren Hashana, a fund ensuring that no day goes by without giving charity. By donating an amount reflecting the 355 days of this year, Keren Hashana disburses charity twice daily—before Shachris and Mincha—guaranteeing your daily giving.

The amount doesn’t matter; the key is consistency- to give Tzedaka every year. Funds support those in need through Chabad’s global network, from single-parent households to educational subsidies and emergency assistance. Join thousands worldwide and be

Ep. 105: More Than a Dress Code: The True Measure of Modesty with Joyce Azria and Rivky Slonim 2:11:23

hace 18 días2:11:23

2:11:23

Send us a text Special thanks to Women of Iron Unite for making this episode possible. Founded on October 10th amid the pain of Operation Iron Sword, three courageous women from Crown Heights united to protect Eretz Yisroel by inspiring prayer, unity, and tznius within our community. Organized by Sarale Blau, Rivky Perl, and Ruthie Sperlin, their initiative continues to empower women to take small steps toward growth and holiness even in challenging times. Modesty (tznius) is one of the most sensitive, often misunderstood topics in the Jewish world. It’s not just about clothing—it’s about identity, confidence, dignity, and connection to something deeper. In this thought-provoking episode of From the Inside Out , we sit down with two incredible guests: Rivky Slonim, a powerhouse in Jewish education, and Joyce Azria, former fashion executive turned modesty advocate. Together, we unravel the layers of tznius—why it’s challenging, what it truly means beyond fabric and rules, and how it can be a source of empowerment rather than restriction. Joyce shares her journey from the high-fashion world to embracing modesty, revealing the unexpected luxury and confidence it brings. Rivka offers profound insights on what tznius really is (hint: it’s NOT just about covering up) and how it’s deeply tied to self-respect, spirituality, and personal growth. We also explore topics like navigating modesty in professional spaces, finding joy in mitzvos even when they feel hard, and how to inspire the next generation without force or judgment. Rivkah Slonim is the Associate Director at the Chabad Center for Jewish Student Life at Binghamton University. An internationally known teacher, lecturer, and activist, she travels widely, addressing the intersection of traditional Jewish observance and contemporary life, with a special focus on Jewish women in Jewish law and life. Slonim is the editor of Total Immersion: A Mikvah Anthology and Bread and Fire; Jewish Women find God in the Everyday . Slonim and her husband are the grateful and proud parents of nine children. You can find more from Rivky Slonim here: https://www.chabad.org/search/keyword_cdo/kid/1328/jewish/Rivkah-Slonim.htm Joyce Azria is a fashion and wellness entrepreneur, formerly the Creative Director of BCBGeneration and founder of Avec Les Filles and Amazon’s ROHB. Daughter of the late Max Azria, she grew up in “fashion royalty,” but her journey from Chanel to Shabbat reshaped her approach—shifting from creating value-driven brands to leading with her values as an Orthodox Jewish woman. Now co-founder of The Healer’s Collection , Joyce shares her passion, spirituality, and rich experiences to inspire audiences nationwide. She lives in Miami, Florida, with her children.

Send us a text In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, Rabbi Mendel Kalmenson, author of Positivity Bias , A Time to Heal , and On Purpose , explores the deeper meaning of positivity and purpose through the lens of the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s teachings. Drawing from his extensive study of the Rebbe’s wisdom, Rabbi Kalmenson challenges the common notion that positivity is naïve, reframing it instead as positive theology —a perspective that reveals the deeper truth of reality rather than just a mindset shift. He shares powerful insights on overcoming negativity bias, finding meaning in life’s struggles, and discovering one’s unique purpose. He explains how our talents, passions, personality traits, and even our greatest challenges are clues to our mission in this world. Through compelling stories and real-life examples, he illustrates how personal hardships can lead to transformation, how we can shift from survival mode to thriving, and why the Rebbe’s teachings are more relevant today than ever. Rabbi Kalmenson’s work is rooted in his deep exploration of the Rebbe’s guidance, distilling its profound messages into practical wisdom for today’s world. Whether discussing healing, resilience, or personal growth, he brings to life the Rebbe’s perspective on how every individual has a vital role to play in the grand purpose of creation. → Watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/mM5l_ZYi-ug GUEST BIO RABBI MENDEL KALMENSON Rabbi Mendel Kalmenson is the rabbi of Beit Baruch and executive director of Chabad of Belgravia, London, where he lives with his wife, Chana, and children. Mendel was an editor at the Judaism Website - Chabad.org, and is also the author of the popular books Seeds of Wisdom, Positivity Bias, A Time to Heal, and most recently: On Purpose: Practical Wisdom for Designing a Life of Purpose.

Our guests—Rabbi Manis Friedman, Rabbi Shais Taub, and somatic healer Miriam Racquel Feldman—challenge the idea that marriage is about personal gain or mere happiness. Instead, they show how viewing marriage as a shared mission—anchored in spiritual purpose and mutual respect—can transform conflict into connection and routine coexistence into genuine intimacy. We discuss the difference between love and oneness, how to create a safe emotional space at home, and why authentic growth often emerges from life’s toughest moments.

Imagine the opportunity to partner daily with the Lubavitcher Rebbe in giving Tzedaka. 71 years ago, the Rebbe launched Keren Hashana, a fund ensuring that no day goes by without giving charity. By donating an amount reflecting the 355 days of this year, Keren Hashana disburses charity twice daily—before Shachris and Mincha—guaranteeing your daily giving. The amount doesn’t matter; the key is consistency- to give Tzedaka every year. Funds support those in need through Chabad’s global network, from single-parent households to educational subsidies and emergency assistance.
