Yehudah, a South African-born Israeli Air Force officer, reveals how his path—from moving countries to embracing vulnerability—led him to meet Allie in the most unexpected way.

In this extraordinary episode, Nachi Gordon sits down with Glenn Cohen — former chief psychologist of the Mossad, helicopter pilot, and trauma expert — for one of the most riveting conversations ever featured on Meaningful People. From rescuing soldiers in Lebanon to counseling hostages freed after October 7th, Glenn has witnessed the darkest sides of humanity — and the boundless strength of the human spirit. He shares powerful firsthand accounts from meeting newly released hostages, insights into Mossad’s secret world, and the psychology of resilience that enables ordinary people to do the impossible. With candor and compassion, Glenn reveals how people survive the unimaginable — not by avoiding pain, but by growing from it. He explains the concept of post-traumatic growth, the coping tools that saved lives in captivity, and why he believes every person is capable of far more than they think. This is not just a story about Israel, trauma, or espionage — it’s a masterclass in faith, courage, and the strength embedded in the Jewish soul.

In this heartfelt Stories of Hope episode, host Tzipora Grodko sits down with Shushy and Ben Turin — better known as Cooking in Heels and Eating in Flats — to share the incredible story of how fate, faith, and a delayed EL AL flight brought two unlikely souls together. What began as an innocent Wi-Fi request at an airport turned into a 12-hour conversation that changed both their lives. From Shushy’s Brooklyn upbringing and strict seminary world to Ben’s yeshiva years in Israel and dreams of making Aliyah, their paths seemed worlds apart — until divine timing proved otherwise. Through heartbreak, family resistance, and unexpected miracles, they discovered that love isn’t about fitting into a box — it’s about creating your own. Their story reminds us that Hashem’s hand is in every twist, turn, and timing — even when it feels impossible. A tale of courage, faith, and finding your Bashert when you least expect it.
