Mirlana Morris | My Son Died in a Stampede, BUT what Came Out After Changed Everything
On Lag BaOmer, Mirlana Morris opens up about the life and legacy of her son Donny, who tragically passed away in the Meron disaster of 2021. In a deeply moving conversation, Mirlana shares intimate memories of Donny’s character — a vibrant, kind, and meticulous young man who touched countless lives with his quiet acts of kindness and sincerity. From his early years in Teaneck, NJ, to his transformative time at Yeshivat Sha’alvim in Israel, Donny stood out for his warmth, discipline, and inclusivity. Mirlana recounts the events of that painful night, the confusion and heartbreak that followed, and the powerful stories that emerged afterward — from Donny comforting kids at camp to always making sure to call his grandmother before Shabbat. Despite the unimaginable loss, she speaks about Donny’s enduring impact and how he continues to inspire others through small, thoughtful actions. This emotional tribute is a testament to how one young life can make an everlasting difference.

Rahel Bayar: 7 Years As A Child Abuse Prosecutor, What She Found Is Beyond SHOCKING!
In this powerful and deeply insightful conversation, Rahel Bayar sits down with Nachi Gordon to discuss her journey from being a sex crimes and child abuse prosecutor in the Bronx to founding The Bayar Group, an organization dedicated to abuse and harassment prevention across North America. Rahel shares how her early aspirations in psychology shifted to law, leading her to work on some of the most difficult cases imaginable—domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual assault. With years of courtroom experience and firsthand exposure to trauma, she eventually asked herself: Can this be prevented? Now a leading educator and consultant, Rahel trains schools, camps, and youth organizations on how to build safe environments without instilling fear. She breaks down practical prevention tools—like teaching children about body safety, the difference between secrets and surprises, and how to foster open communication—especially within the frum (religious Jewish) community. Whether you're a parent, educator, or community leader, this episode will leave you thinking differently about what it means to protect children and empower communities. “No healthy grown-up needs a child to keep a secret.” — Rahel Bayar This episode was made possible thanks to our sponsors: ►Blooms Kosher Bring you the best Kosher products worldwide. https://bloomskosher.com ____________________________________________________ ► PZ Deals - Download the app and never pay full price again! https://app.pz.deals/install/mpp _____________________________________________________ ►Toveedo Visit- https://toveedoshop.com Use Promo Code MM10 for $10 off! __________________________________________________ ► Aleph Beta Counting the Omer can feel like just counting.

Now-Jewish Nanny: “It’s Finally TIME to tell you Everything…”
In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Meaningful People, we sit down with Adriana, the woman behind the viral “Non-Jewish Nanny” persona, to hear her remarkable story of transformation. What began as a nanny job for Orthodox Jewish families in Boca Raton led to a deep, personal journey that ultimately brought her to an Orthodox Jewish conversion. Adriana shares what it was like growing up Christian in Florida, how she was first introduced to Jewish customs through the families she worked for, and how the innocent questions and pure love of the children she cared for opened her eyes to the beauty of Judaism. As she fell more in love with the Jewish way of life, her social media presence unexpectedly exploded, offering a glimpse into her unique perspective as someone discovering Jewish life from the outside in. But this story goes deeper than curiosity. Adriana opens up about surviving an abusive relationship, finding refuge in the warmth of the Jewish community, and learning to find purpose and healing through faith. She candidly explains why she kept her conversion private, and how every step of her journey—whether joyous or painful—ultimately led her to a life of meaning and connection with Hashem. Adriana’s story is inspiring, emotional, and a beautiful reminder of how one person’s journey can ignite faith and pride in others.

Shannon Nuszen | Ex-Christian Missionary Reveals Path to Judaism
From Evangelical Missionary to Orthodox Jew: This is Shannon Nuszen's Unbelievable Journey! In this powerful interview, Shannon Nuszen shares her extraordinary transformation from being an evangelical missionary—trained to convert Jews—to embracing Orthodox Judaism. Raised in a fundamentalist Christian family, Shannon later joined the Christian messianic movement, working with missionary groups targeting Jews, but eventually converted to Judaism and now regrets her past involvement. What led her to question her beliefs? How did her deep dive into Jewish texts change everything? What challenges did she face in leaving Christianity and converting to Judaism? With over 15 years in the counter-missionary field, she educates Jewish communities about missionary tactics. She founded Beyneynu, an organization that monitors missionary activity and raises awareness among Jewish leaders. Now, through her organization Beyneynu, she works to protect Jewish communities from deceptive missionary tactics. This is an important mission, as the there are more and more Jews converting to Christianity. In 2015, there were 15,000 Jews belonging to Messianic congregations here in Israel – as of 2020, there were more than 30,000 reported. Beyneynu has watched this community grow from 120 Messianic congregations and outreach programs to over 300, and there are currently over 200 websites dedicated to converting Jewish people to Christianity, mostly through media in English, Hebrew, Russian, and Arabic.
