Nisim Mushiev shares his powerful story—growing up as a child of immigrants, losing his father in a shocking stabbing tragedy, and still choosing to face life with honesty and zero fluff. Now working in social work, this is Nisim’s truth without filters.

In this raw and powerful conversation, Chef Uri Elbaum opens up about his journey—from wearing a black hat to carrying tattoos, from growing up with little in Argentina to becoming a successful chef in New York featured on TV shows.

Uri shares what it truly means to stop trying to fit into a box and start owning your authentic self. He speaks candidly about his marriage and divorce, the challenges that shaped him, and the pivotal moments that led him to find a deeper sense of purpose.

Rabbi Akiva said, “Everything Hashem does is for the best.” Nachum Ish Gamzu said, “This too is for the good.”

Is there a difference? And if so — which reflects a higher level of knowing that everything is for the best? In this episode of Be’emet, we explore the subtle but powerful distinction between Rabbi Akiva and Nachum Ish Gamzu’s approach to faith, and what it teaches us about real emunah in the face of challenge.

Sometimes Hashem sends us signs—and we miss them. In this episode of Be’emet, we explore how people often sense there's meaning in what happens to them, but they make the wrong connection. We talk about accountability, selective memory, and the spiritual cost of ignoring subtle messages. Including a powerful story of a rebbetzin, a moment of judgment, and a sign from above that went unnoticed.

In this episode, I sit down with the one and only Daniel Amram to talk about my move to Israel, what love really means, and how relationships take shape in today’s world. We also dive into a thoughtful debate about religion—whether it’s objective, subjective, or something in between.

We don’t always see eye to eye—especially when it comes to being honest about where we stand with religion—but that’s exactly what makes the conversation so real. It’s a mix of vulnerability, friendly debate, and banter that keeps things honest, insightful, and entertaining.

בפרק הזה אני יושבת לשיחה עם דניאל עמרם, האחד והיחיד, ומדברת איתו על המעבר שלי לישראל, מה זו באמת אהבה, ואיך נראות מערכות יחסים בעולם של היום. נכנסנו גם לדיון מעמיק על דת – האם היא אובייקטיבית, סובייקטיבית, או משהו באמצע.

אנחנו לא תמיד מסכימים – במיוחד כשזה נוגע לכנות לגבי איפה אנחנו עומדים מבחינה דתית – אבל דווקא זה מה שהפך את השיחה לכל כך אמיתית. זו הייתה שיחה עם הרבה כנות, רגש וצחוקים – בדיוק השילוב שעושה אותה מעניינת ואמיתית.

After the flood, Noach escapes to wine, but what was he really running from? In this episode, we explore the urge to numb, and what it means to choose presence over escape.

In our very first episode, we introduce the heart behind the podcast — what inspired it and why it matters. We dive into the idea of maximizing our potential — and how Eisav, who had the power to be even greater than Yaakov, missed his chance. It’s real, it’s honest, and it’s just the beginning.
