About this listen

What does it really mean to give a part of yourself… to someone you’ve never even met? 💭 In this heart-squeezing, soul-stretching episode, we’re diving deep into two extraordinary stories of kindness that go way beyond comfort zones.

💇‍♀️ First, meet Binah, a 12-year-old girl from Yerushalayim who’s donated her hair not once, not twice, but FOUR times since she was just 4! Her mission? To bring simcha and confidence to children going through chemo. 💕 “It says mitzvah goreres mitzvah,” she reminds us. “If you do one mitzvah, it helps you do more.”

🧠 Then get ready for Menucha and her inkredible Daddy, who donated his kidney through Renewal to a total stranger. 😲 Seven years later, the impact is still rippling through their lives and their community. “It was the first time in my life I felt pain that I knew was good,” he says. “Every ounce of it went to save someone else’s life.” 😭

This episode is all about chesed that costs—the kind that’s not always easy, but totally transforms you from the inside out. Because at the end of the day, these aren’t just stories about hair or kidneys… they’re about what it means to be part of one big Jewish family. 🫶

✨ Whether you’re ready to jump into your own big act of kindness, or you just want to be inspired by what real giving looks like — this one’s for you.

🗣️ As Menucha puts it best:

“Try to do the chesed that’s harder for you… and you’ll get even more schar.”
