episode Men Are Not Big, Hairy Women cover

Description

Should you hide your gray hair? When do you tell someone you’ve been married twice? And how do you stay open and playful without getting hurt? In this unfiltered Q&A, Aleeza Ben Shalom takes on the questions people usually dance around: confidence, timing, emotional risk, and the patterns that quietly sabotage dating. Honest, practical, and a little uncomfortable in the best way, this episode is about dating with clarity, courage, and self-respect.

episode The Real Reason Money Causes Divorce artwork

The Real Reason Money Causes Divorce

You can love someone deeply and still slowly destroy the relationship over money. In this episode, Aleeza Ben Shalom and Rifka Leibowitz get into the silent expectations couples carry into marriage, the emotional weight behind spending and saving, and why so many people confuse financial stability with emotional security. They talk about dating people with money and the control that can come with it, surviving month-to-month, and the panic that hits when life suddenly costs more than you expected. This is the part of relationships nobody wants to admit matters this much… until it does.Aleeza:- IG @aleezabenshalom - FB https://www.facebook.com/aleezabenshalom- YT https://www.youtube.com/@aleezabenshalom- https://marriagemindedmentor.com/Rifka:- IG https://www.instagram.com/livingfinanciallysmarter/- FB https://www.facebook.com/groups/219528557090- YT https://www.youtube.com/@plusfinances- LI https://www.linkedin.com/in/rifkalebowitz/- https://rifkalebowitz.com/Join our community now and receive 24/7 of new & original content from the State of Israel.https://www.iltv.tv

The Church that Became Obsessed with Judaism

What does it mean to finally belong after spending your whole life feeling different? In this episode, Aleeza Ben Shalom chats with Menashe Lopez about the unbelievable chain of events that started with his mother’s curiosity in a Texas library and slowly transformed a Christian church into a community obsessed with Judaism. Menashe opens up about growing up caught between worlds and trying to belong in Jewish spaces that didn’t always know what to do with him, why moving to Israel finally felt like breathing for the first time, and how music became the only language to hold everything he couldn’t say out loud.Aleeza:- IG @aleezabenshalom - FB https://www.facebook.com/aleezabenshalom- YT https://www.youtube.com/@aleezabenshalom- https://marriagemindedmentor.com/Menasheh: - IG @menasheh.lopez - YT https://www.youtube.com/@Nash_lopez- TT https://www.tiktok.com/@nash.lopez- Spotify: Nash LopezJoin our community now and receive 24/7 of new & original content from the State of Israel.https://www.iltv.tv

episode She Rejected Her Husband Twice artwork

She Rejected Her Husband Twice

Why do people say they want marriage but date like they’re waiting for something better? Aleeza Ben Shalom sits down with Sarah Pachter, matchmaker, author, and co-host of Israel’s hit dating show Vort, for a conversation about attraction, timing, and why people talk themselves out of relationships that could actually work. From grocery-store matches and matchmaking instincts to rejecting her husband twice before eventually marrying him, Sarah gets honest about chemistry and commitment. This conversation pushes hard against the fantasy version of love and gets real about what it actually takes to build a relationship that lasts.
