In this eye-opening conversation, therapist Rachel Tuchman dives deep into the way we talk about food, body image, and health in the frum community — and why it matters more than we think. From Yom Tov tables filled with diet talk to the surge of GLP-1 weight-loss injections, Rachel explores how these messages shape our children's self-image, strain our relationships, and fuel anxiety. She challenges the obsession with quick fixes and encourages a shift toward true health — meaningful connection, joy around food, and emotional well-being. A must-listen for anyone who wants to build a healthier, happier family culture.

Fasting can be tough — headaches, nausea, and fatigue can drain your energy. That's why so many rely on FastAid by Kollel Toronto, a slow-release capsule you take before the fast so it helps when you need it most.
Created under the guidance of Rav Shlomo Miller and Rav Yaakov Hirschman, FastAid comes in versions with caffeine, Tylenol, Advil, or electrolytes. It's halachically approved, easy to take, and just $12 a pack.
Available at most kosher supermarkets, Judaica stores, pharmacies, mikva geshefts, and online at www.Kollel.com.

► Keren Hashana
Imagine the opportunity to partner daily with the Lubavitcher Rebbe in giving Tzedakah
You donate in amounts the number of days in the coming year–this year 354–and Keren Hashana disburses the Tzedakah on your behalf -- twice every day! Once before Shachris and once before Mincha. This guarantees that you will give Tzedaka every day of the year.
It's not important how much you give, the idea is to give Tzedaka every day!
