Author: Chochmat Nashim

Since October 7, it has been painful for many people of faith to approach God, to find the words to respond to our changing, impossible reality. A new book – AZ NASHIR brings all the pathos and the hope, providing words for those who can’t find their own. Compiled and edited by Shira Lankin Sheps, Rachel Sharansky Danziger, and Anne (!), this moving anthology brings together the poetic, prayerful words of prayer of more than 50 contributors and 15 artists, with prayers for nearly every circumstance of the past year. By women, for women, in their many varied voices.

Another blow in Israel with Hamas’s cold-blooded murder of six hostages on the verge of being rescued alive by the IDF. Shoshanna and Anne probe the country’s state of raw emotion, call out the evil of Hamas, acknowledge the conflict of being put between a rock and a hard place, and offer tips for the things we all can do to make the world a better place.

Rabbi Dr. Noam Weinberg joins Shoshanna and Anne to explain the toxicity and dysfunctionality facing too many couples and families in our community. Importantly, he also offers tips and tools to help people avoid these pitfalls.

Sometimes, all the progress lands society right back at the beginning. Just ask the women who would like to be on Israel’s committee to select rabbis. Or the female tank soldiers. Or the liberal left who would never tolerate discrimination, except when it comes to Orthodox women. Anne and Shoshanna review the things that have changed, but remained the same.

Known for his revolutionary – and often controversial – TikTok videos calling out the worst in frum society, Rabbi Avraham Mordechai Gottlieb chats with Shoshanna and Anne on kabala, his worldview, and why women must keep fighting for Torah to win.

When Avi was called up on October 7 (for 5 of the next 8 months), his wife, Bazy, became a “Milu-Ima” (a reservist is called a miliumnik). Home with 4 beloved children and an uncountable number of diapers to change, Bazy was one of 70 women in comparable situations in her neighborhood alone. She set out to do something for her neighbors… and her country. Along the way, she became an international online sensation, sharing the comedy and poignancy of real lives “back home” when so many men are at war.
