► Mossaica Press: The Top Haggadah for 2026

Haggadah shel Pesach – B’Damayich Chayi by Rabbi Yehoshua Gavriel Forgy treats the Haggadah as a serious interpretive document rather than a conventional commentary. Written with the sobriety of the post–October 7 moment, Rabbi Forgy argues that the Seder’s structure and language serve as an annual reintroduction to Jewish peoplehood: how Jews understand themselves, why they endure, and what life among the nations consistently requires.

Bari Mitzmann (Barianna) grew up in typical frum setting but life took a giant turn. Hear her powerful journey through religious anxiety, panic attacks, and a crisis of faith while growing up in the Orthodox Jewish world. From the outside she looked inspiring - building a social media following, leading communities, and encouraging others in their Jewish faith and observance. But behind the scenes she was living in constant fear that God was punishing her. In this raw conversation, Bari opens up about scrupulosity, mental health in Judaism, fear-based religion, therapy, and rebuilding a healthy relationship with Hashem. This episode explores how faith, mental health, and personal growth intersect and how honest conversations can help people struggling silently.

Lchaim.

Inspiration for the Nation is the weekly Jewish podcast from Living Lchaim, hosted by Yaakov Langer.

On October 7th, Iris Chaim’s son Yotam Chaim was taken hostage by Hamas. For weeks, she held onto hope that he was alive. In an unbelievable turn of events, Yotam escaped captivity - only to be tragically killed by the IDF after being mistaken for a terrorist. In this deeply emotional conversation, Iris and her son Tuval Chaim share how their family faced unimaginable loss and chose a path of faith, resilience, and forgiveness instead of anger. Iris & Tuval opens up about his own struggle with grief, the anger he felt after his brother’s death, and how he ultimately channeled that pain into music, healing, and purpose - continuing Yotam’s legacy. Together, they tell a powerful story about October 7th, hostages, trauma, hope, and the strength of the Jewish spirit - and how one family turned tragedy into a mission to bring unity, healing, and light to the world.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode deals with extreme situations, traumas, abuse and more.It also discusses how Josh finds himself and connection to Hashem.

Josh Rosenberg was raised in a Jewish Orthodox Chasidic world. He was immersed in its melodies, traditions, and unspoken expectations. Years of struggle, heartbreak, identity crisis, and spiritual searching led to a painful but transformative journey. Josh "went off the derech", was homeless and started modeling. He was lost in every sense of the word. Ultimately, he returned to Israel and rediscovered his connection to the Orthodox world. This is the story of teshuva.

► The Next Big Jewish Neighborhood!

Tucson, Arizona is becoming a warm and welcoming home for growing Jewish families. I even have cousins there with my last name, Langer, and after visiting them in 2020, the city left a real impression on me. The sunlight, the mountains, and the calm of the streets have a quiet beauty that feels a bit like Israel.

The community is expanding with a new Kollel, a new eiruv, kosher establishments on the way, and an affordable cost of living. Winters are gorgeous and families are moving in because Tucson offers space, warmth, and real growth. There is also a moving bonus for those ready to join.

#iftn Lchaim.

Inspiration for the Nation is the weekly Jewish podcast from Living Lchaim, hosted by Yaakov Langer.

Nosson and Esther Muhr were raised in chaos - abuse, suicide, addiction, psychosis, rejection - and still refused to let trauma decide who they would become. Their path to Judaism stretched over years of setbacks, hospitalizations, lost jobs, and a conversion process that nearly fell apart. They kept going anyway, and today they’re building a simple, committed Jewish life they fought hard to earn. This is a raw story of giyures, emunah, mental health, teshuva, and finding purpose inside authentic Torah life.
