Aleeza Ben Shalom | Matching a Nation | Episode 75

Navigating the modern dating world right now feels like an absolute jungle. Between the weight of everything our people are facing post-war and the exhaustion of apps that treat human souls like disposable products, finding real connection can feel completely impossible. That is why this episode was so incredibly meaningful to me. ​
This conversation features a true force for the Jewish nation, the global phenomenon and star of Netflix’s Jewish Matchmaking, Aleeza Ben Shalom. While she is a world-renowned modern dating expert who has successfully paired over 200 couples, what makes her so special is just how incredibly down-to-earth, raw, and real she is. You might think that because she is religious, she wouldn't understand the realities of today's secular dating scene, but she knows exactly what is going on. ​
We skip the polished, cliché advice to ask the deep philosophical questions about love, validation, and faith. Aleeza opens up about her personal journey moving her life and her kids to Israel, her dedication to the survival of the Jewish family, and how to break bad patterns to find a love that lasts. She is an absolute inspiration, a beautiful soul, and a true champion for Am Yisrael.

Ashley Waxman Bakshi is a powerhouse who has become one of the most influential advocates for Israel on the global stage. While an entire generation knows her as "Israel’s Sweetheart," she has used her massive platform to fight for the truth during our most defining moments.

Eitan Chitayat returns for Episode 72 at a moment when the world feels more fractured than ever.

Eitan shares a raw perspective on reclaiming the Jewish narrative and explains why "Jewish Pride" is the ultimate act of resilience in 2026. We discuss the psychological toll of the ongoing conflict with Iran, the struggle to maintain a creative spirit during times of trauma, and the delicate balance between planning for the future and surrendering to fate.
This is a deep dive into identity, courage, and the necessity of finding your voice when the rest of the world goes silent.

Eric Levitz is a recovering addict and the founder of AZ House in Jerusalem — an English-speaking residential recovery program that gives people the opportunity to rebuild their lives without charge.
At a time when so many people in Israel are dealing with anxiety, pressure, and uncertainty, this conversation feels more important than ever. Addiction doesn’t always look the way people expect — and it doesn’t always come from where we think.
Drawing from his own journey through recovery, Eric has developed a deep understanding of what actually helps people change — and he’s built a program around those principles.
This episode is about addiction, responsibility, second chances… and what it really means to be part of the solution.

Nicole Rubinovich is an Israeli Olympic weightlifter, a multiple-time national champion, and an international competitor representing Israel on the global stage.
In this episode, we go beyond the platform to meet the person behind the lifts — her discipline, her mindset, and what it means to build a life around a sport that demands everything.
We talk about what drew her into Olympic weightlifting, the level of precision and control the sport requires, and how that kind of training shapes the way you think and move through the world.
There’s a shared understanding between us of what this sport gives you — not just physically, but mentally — and how it carries into life far beyond the gym.
Nicole also speaks about what it means to represent Israel in competition, and the sense of responsibility and identity that comes with stepping onto that stage. This conversation is about more than strength — it’s about focus, consistency, and the kind of person you become through it.

Sitting down with Adam Scott Bellos felt long overdue.
As a fellow podcaster, he understands the weight of having a platform — the work, the responsibility, and the intention behind every word. Adam is direct, authentic, witty, clever, and incredibly articulate — not someone who softens his message to make people comfortable.
A Tel Aviv–based entrepreneur, IDF veteran, journalist, and founder of The Israel Innovation Fund, Adam also launched initiatives like Wine on the Vine — connecting supporters around the world to Israeli wineries and strengthening Jewish resilience through tangible action.
He’s become one of the more outspoken voices challenging ego-driven advocacy and what he calls performative activism.
In this episode, we talk about rising antisemitism, institutional failure, influencer culture, and his belief that Jewish survival requires strength, strategy, and sovereignty — not just better messaging.
No fluff. No filter. Just like him.
