This episode is really special to me.

You’re going to meet two girls who are both showing us what strength looks like… just in very different ways.

First, you’ll meet Leahla.
Right now, she’s going through treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma. And the way she talks about it? The way she carries herself? It stopped me in my tracks.

She’s not looking for pity.
She’s not calling herself a “nebach.”
Her words: “We’re not nebachs. We’re heroes.”

And once you hear her explain what that means… you won’t forget it.

Then you’ll meet Sari.

After her baby sister spent time in the NICU, Sari realized something powerful:
She doesn’t just want to learn… she wants to help.

She’s already thinking about becoming a nurse one day, maybe in oncology, maybe in the NICU… and the way she talks about caring for people, really seeing them, is something every kid (and adult!) needs to hear.

So this episode is about two kinds of strength:
✨ The strength to go through something hard
✨ And the strength to step up and help others through it

👉 When life gets hard… what kind of kid are you?

She grew up as the daughter of a Nazi… and had never even heard of Jews.

In this powerful and emotional episode, Morah Tziri sits down with Hannah, an 89-year-old woman whose story is almost impossible to believe.

Born in Germany during World War II to a Nazi officer, Hannah grew up in a home filled with fear, silence, and pain. She had no idea that Jews even existed… until she was 17 years old.

What happened next changed the course of her life forever.

Hannah shares:

• What her childhood was really like growing up in a Nazi home
• The moment she discovered the truth about Jews
• How she eventually built a Jewish life and family
• And the message she wants every generation to hear

This is a story about resilience, identity, and the power of choosing a different path, NO MATTER WHERE WE COME FROM!

🎥 For the full experience, watch the video version of this interview on the InKredible Kids YouTube channel. Seeing Hannah share her story brings an entirely different level of impact.

In this IK Teens episode, Charlene Aminoff shares a powerful message about strength, resilience, and self-worth.

This episode was originally recorded live during an IK Teens Zoom session, bringing together teens for a real and meaningful conversation.

Through her experience, she speaks about what it means to face challenges, process difficult moments, and choose to grow from them rather than be defined by them.

As we approach Pesach — a time of renewal, growth, and personal freedom — this conversation offers a meaningful reminder that real strength comes from within. It’s about how you see yourself, how you respond to challenges, and how you move forward.

This episode is for any teen who has ever felt hurt, left out, or unsure of themselves — and is ready to discover their inner strength.

🎥 The full video of this session is available on the InKredible Kids YouTube channel.

What starts as a conversation about chess… turns into something much deeper.

In this episode, Morah Tziri sits down with 16-year-old Daniel from Australia who started playing chess at just four years old — and hasn’t really looked back since. From winning tournaments as a little kid to playing full games blindfolded (yes, really), this conversation explores what it actually means to get good at something.

But more than that…

👉 What happens when a hobby becomes your thing
👉 How winning, losing, and pressure shape the way we think
👉 Why being challenged is actually the best gift
👉 And how every child can find something that builds confidence and identity

Even if you don’t know the first thing about chess (same 😅), this episode is for you.

If you haven’t yet watched the Libby video, please, please go watch it.

It’s one of the most powerful things we’ve ever shared.

Libby went through so much this past year, including two strokes, and still showed up with such strength, simcha, and determination. The video includes subtitles so you can really understand her — and trust me, it’s worth it.
