Season 2.5 Trailer

Miriam Delasalle — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 10:59:24 GMT

We did it! We made it past the Haggim in Israel.

Hamas is bad.

Hezbollah is rude.

Iran is noisy.

Our real challenge has been little children with interrupted childcare.

Let’s have some fun during 5785 with brand collaborations, new projects, and guests who can bring some goodness to our everyday lives.

S2 E12: Miriam Isn't a Nice Jew

Miriam Delasalle — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 08:13:40 GMT

This week Miriam speaks about her failure at Western Exceptionalist Ashkinormativity. Kidding, kind of.

Jews have plenty of existential yearning. This is a moment that Jews in the Diaspora and Holy rollin’ (or not) types here in Israel have cried and actively not cried more than we ever wanted to.

Being a mother in Israel since October 7, 2023 means that we are thinking of how the world will be for our children. Will my little boy drive a tank someday? Will my daughter need to carry a rifle on her back while running errands? Maybe, I hope not.

They are the best generation and I know that with all the pain they may endure, they get all of the benefit of being a Jew. And that works for me.

We will be taking a break for the chaggim to be together as a family and as Am Yisrael.

AM YISRAEL CHAI.

S2 E11 Shayna Transforms Anger

Miriam Delasalle — Thu, 19 Sep 2024 06:30:00 GMT

Shayna and Miriam talk bread, painting, dance parties, and bomb shelters for tiny kids living in Tzfat. Tzfat is the city where Jewish Mysticism has its soul. What it lacks in modern infrastructure and safety for vulnerable populations, it makes up in holiness, love, and a certain scrappiness that gets things done.

Shayna’s Non Profit Sparks to Life has already built 20 bomb shelters in the Tzfat area and is looking to build 15 more. This is where you come in: let’s raise money to make this happen.

You may be wondering, “Miriam, shouldn’t the Government be doing this? Why are you asking us for more money?” and you would be right. Yes, it should be doing this, but it isn’t, so that’s why I’m asking for money. And Shayna at Sparks to Life listens to the needs of the people and finds a way to address them.

Join us for answers to these questions:

* What is an ideal artistic medium for Mothers?

* Is Kukuwa the answer to our wartime agitation?

* How did Sparks to Life get started?

* What do the most vulnerable populations do to prepare for war?

* What happens when the strong in a community leave?

* How does one get 30 three to five year olds to safety when their Gan is a caravan?

* What can we do with all this anger?

S2 E10 Maybe Mom's Don't Kvetch Enough

Miriam Delasalle — Thu, 12 Sep 2024 08:50:03 GMT

This is a palette cleansing episode in which Miriam speaks into the void, aka talks to herself into a microphone.

A subscriber recently forwarded me an article from Israel Hayom / JNS, Toll of war: Two-thirds of Israeli women report health decline . Part of me says, “Yes. We ARE struggling, thanks for noticing,” and I say that with a “Miriam facetiousness score” of 40/100 (I am still working on the scale, bear with me). It’s easy to see, just talking with friends and interacting with families in my neighborhood.

The article talks about a study performed by the Briah Foundation, which I know very little about, but looks pretty special.

S2 E9 Michla has Noisy Neighbors - Part 2

Miriam Delasalle — Thu, 05 Sep 2024 05:52:14 GMT

This is Part 2 so put on your big girl pants and get ready for some big feelings. We talk October 7th and moving forward.

If you have just listened to Part 1, Stretch your legs, go tinkle, hydrate, and get ready to ugly cry in 15 second increments with us.

Miriam and Michla talk life in Otef Aza (Gaza Envelope).

Join us for answers to these big questions:

* How do you ask your neighbors how they are without breaking your heart everyday?

* To Gazan Workers: “You guys are GOOD guys, right? You didn’t do the stuff, right?” (?)

* Is resilience really all it's cracked up to be?

* Is the intensity of Jewish Summer Camp necessary for connection?

* IDF: You want the Haredim? YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE HAREDIM.

* Does our anger upset you?

That's okay, push through the bad feeling and we’ll find peace on the other side.

And since this is back to school week in Israel, Michla is raising funds for the Maon / Gan on Moshav Shuva, a private setting for ages 0 - 3 that hopes to fill in a gap that the Municipal government hasn't been able to for residents of Shuva. (TBF, they have been busy since Early Oct 2023.)

Ultimately, this Gan / Maon helps the parents so that they can heal and move forward, while offering gentle support to the most vulnerable group.

This goal has been achieved, thank you so much!

Please let me know if you want to give to another cause, I keep a few in my back pocket.

You can also reach out to Miriam directly at the socials below for more questions.

S2E5 Becky Takes Initiative

Miriam Delasalle — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 04:05:00 GMT

Becky and Miriam talk about what we can do to help families during this fakakte war with Gaza, et al. We can’t all kick some terrorist butt on the front lines (chaval), but that doesn’t stop us from connecting with our community and finding a way to help each other.

Becky started her own Initiative to send Wolt gift cards to Miluim wives. Basically, we all want to help, and there’s not many reasonable ways that we can help. Becky, a Marketing professional at BGU, uses her personal network to provide comfort to Miluim wives. These are mothers whose husbands are in the IDF Reserves doing the work to protect all of our families.

If you want to help, follow Becky on Instagram, or connect with Miriam (see below) for more information.

Join us for answers to these big questions:

* What on earth is the [Gesell] Child Development Spiral? And why does it make way more sense when you have toddlers?

* How do we handle our normal psychological issues in the context of War?

* Is prayer altruistic? Does Gd care why you pray?

* Is Tehillim (Psalms) the antidote to Lashon Harah (trash talk)?

* Is your Echo Chamber working for you?

* Why did we need to wait for Israeli Children to be killed before Israel took “Initiative”?

* What can you do you help? Spoiler: Pray, don’t be a jerk, and give money.

Miriam Delasalle — Wed, 14 Dec 2022 06:00:00 GMT

Have no fear, we don't let our blatant ignorance stop us from passing judgement. Join us for our favorite slightly "treyf-y" activity.
