38. Dor Lev aka Feministit: UNFILTERED BONUS

Surprise!! In another special bonus episode, we sit down with Dor Lev — the voice behind the revolutionary @Feministit platform. Dor shares her journey of growing up in a religious community and the process of coming out — first as no longer religious, and later as gay. She also reflects on her unexpected path that led her to managing the State of Israel’s official social media accounts (!!!) and the emotional weight of being in that role after October 7th, how that experience shaped her path forward, and how it ultimately led her to her current work with Talk Israel creators — all while building her own platform, @Feministit, where she speaks openly about issues affecting women in Israel and around the world. Listen up ya'll!! You don't wanna miss this gem.

37. Aliyah in the 90s: UNFILTERED BONUS

In this very special bonus episode, Zoe sits down with her mom to give us all the juicy details about what it was like to make Aliyah in the 90s. From growing up in cushy New York to navigating life as a new immigrant, marrying an Israeli, and raising children in Jerusalem during an intifada, they reflect on what feels strikingly familiar — and what couldn’t be more different today. And then, in a twist no one planned, comes the unexpected return to the United States... Hear this intimate, honest conversation between a mother and daughter — and chances are, you’ll hear pieces of your own story in it too.

36. Goodbye for Now: UNFILTERED

In this heartfelt episode, we're reflecting on the past year of Talking Unfiltered—how the podcast started, how it's evolved, how we evolved with it, the moments that shaped it, and the stories we probably shouldn’t have told… but did anyway oopsie! We’re taking a minute to focus on our digital community (shameless insta plug @talking.unfiltered 😗) and  focus on what’s next as we head into a new year and the next chapter of Talking Unfiltered. Stay curious!!! ❤️

35. Marielle: UNFILTERED

It's Marielle's turn at a solo episode and wow, this one hits different. Marielle opens up about this extremely transformative chapter of her life — navigating Israel as a patrilineal Jew, deepening her relationship with Judaism and God, and learning to approach it all with curiosity and an open mind. She also reflects on the realities of being an Olah in Israel: the loneliness, the resilience, and the magic of building your own village from scratch. It’s an honest look at identity, faith, and stepping outside your comfort zone to find the people who truly align with you. Enjoy <3

34. Zoe: UNFILTERED

This week we have yet another solo episode... this time, Zoe rewinds back to late September and chats through all the chaos and clarity that came with a new year, a birthday, and inching toward two years since October 7. She talks about grieving old versions of herself, shifting friendships, living between her dual identities, and what a full year in Israel has actually taught her. You don't wanna miss this episode - it's a special one ❤️
