It’s been a little while… and Morah Tziri is back with big news and a powerful Chanukah conversation. ✨

Together let's dive into a heart-opening Chanukah episode with the one and only Mrs. Slovie Jungreis Wolff – daughter of Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis and a beloved teacher, author, and speaker.

This episode is not just for kids and not just for parents. It’s meant to be listened to together. Around the table, in the car, in the kitchen – wherever your family listens best.

Morah Tziri and Mrs. Wolff talk honestly about:

• What real confidence looks like (hint: it’s not your sneakers or your swag)
• How to handle jealousy, comparison, and “stuff” in a world that always has more
• Why every child has their own “spiritual fingerprints” that no one else in the world has
• How even “ordinary” kids can be heroes in tiny, quiet ways
• Turning Chanukah from “What did you GET?” into “What did we GIVE?”
• Anxiety, worry, and how to stop writing scary stories in your head
• The power of kids’ tefillos and why adults are literally counting on them

Along the way you’ll hear:

• A bar mitzvah sweatshirt story that flips “popularity” on its head
• How a 10-year-old slime maker turned her hobby into a $1,000 mitzvah project
• A mashal about a bird and a lion that will change the way your kids think about jealousy
• A beautiful idea to see your children as holy lights when you look at them by the menorah

This is an episode you can come back to again and again – for Chanukah, for tough days, and for those quiet moments when your child asks, “Am I really special?”

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

• 🕯️ How Chanukah gives us eight nights of real family connection, not just presents
• 💪 What true confidence is… and why it can never live in a sweatshirt or a report card
• ❤️ How to help kids feel special even if they don’t have one big “talent”
• 🧠 Tools to deal with anxiety and worry through emunah and better “stories”
• 🎁 Practical ideas for making Chanukah about giving, not only getting
• 📞 Small, real-life actions kids can take that are actually huge in Hashem’s eyes

Ever seen a kid turn a hobby into something you can touch, wear, or play? We sit down with two creators who prove that tiny steps can transform into big wins. First, Rochel Tzivia walks us through her sewing journey—from learning to thread a bobbin to designing and stitching her own Bas Mitzvah dress. She shares smart alteration tricks, how to rescue a too-short dress with a new tier, and why a dedicated sewing nook under the stairs changed everything. Along the way, she honors her great-grandmother’s seamstress legacy and reminds us that the real craft is patience: pin, cut, sew, unpick, breathe, repeat.

Then we meet Rafael, the ten-year-old cofounder of Mentsch Cards, a mitzvah trading card game you can find in Judaica shops and online. He breaks down how each card teaches a single mitzvah with fun facts and gameplay stats, how silver and gold cards work, and why you have to complete five real-life tasks to earn that shiny gold. Behind the scenes, he and his father researched Sefer HaChinuch and Rambam, hired an illustrator, found a factory, and partnered with a distributor—real product steps, kid-level heart. With 27 stores on board and plans for new languages, he’s building a brand that turns collecting into character.

What ties these stories together is a simple truth: small actions compound. A custom hem boosts confidence. A card pack nudges kindness at home. If you’ve got an idea, make the first version for yourself. Set up your space so starting is easy, share your progress, and let momentum grow. We’re celebrating kids who finish what they start—and inviting you to do the same.

If this inspired you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review. Your support helps us spotlight more incredible kids—and might be the nudge another young creator needs to begin.
