I watch 'Stories of Hope' every week with my mother. I'm in my 30's and still single. When Devorah started talking about her experiences and how she understands the struggles of singles, I started crying. My mother looked over at me and asked if I was crying, and I responded, "Yes. For once...I felt seen and heard." Thank you, Hashem for Stories of Hope, Tzipora Grodko and Meaningful Minute...each week, they help fortify my emunah in Hashem and undying hope that my bashert IS out there. It's all about timing.
He is out there!! Everything is perfectly designed by Hashem. I was 37 when I met my husband, and as it turns out he is 10 years younger than I am. While I was in Israel dancing at my friends weddings wondering when I would get married, he was in NY dancing at his friends Bar Mitzvahs 😅 Timing is everything!!!! Btw we do shidduchim if you are interested ❤
Thank you for sharing this heartfelt message; your feedback means so much to me and truly captures what I hoped our podcast would bring. Your words went straight to my heart. Sending you warmth, strength, and, as always, boundless hope. ❤️
i always watch your episodes and was so excited to see a new one this morning! i wait for them each week! I am the same age as devorah was when she married reuven. this episode really gives me so much hope that i will find the right one who "checks all of the boxes", no matter what people say. Hashem has my back! What a special couple! you can clearly see how much love and respect they have for each other. they are doing amazing work for Klal Yisroel and i am so happy you had them on to share their story. thank you to the Kigels, Tzipora, and MM!
This episode just left me saying Buitiful. Devorah hit the nail on the head. The shiduch world is so confusing and it's amazing that so many find that right one so fast. But the ones left behind to find their Mister right, is so challenging. Tzipora thank you for finding this couple. Their message is right on. Hashem knows what we need and can handle. And they are a perfect example of not just being the shleach, but also the perfect example. May Hashem keep on giving them and you koach. And may you be able to keep on using your talents in a way that shines out. As I say, Ze Kaylie Veanvy Hoo.
Great work Ur podcast brings renewed hope and infuses the not yet redeemed persons with a conviction to keep believing, pursuing and to never give up! Thank u!
This was one of the best podcasts I have EVER listened to!! It was truly incredible! Thank you for being so open and sharing your journey with everyone. I so appreciate hearing Devorah tell all the single women that we are amazing with all the qualities we have and shouldn’t bend or have to settle. Thank you for highlighting the fact that there are things that needs to change in the Shidduch system. I can’t wait to read your book and share it with the world. Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!
My favorite message from this episode is that our format of dating actually works. As a civilian (i.e. non professional) shadchan, and as someone who got married as an "older single", I agree that specific individuals sometimes don't know how to be tactful or how to say the right things, but for the most part our system does work, and it makes so much sense. And I 100% agree with the fact that there needs to be one partner who's willing to jump in, because oftentimes one party is terrified to do that, especially as people get older and develop more "attachment" to singlehood (without realizing it!). Thank you for a beautiful episode!
WOW!! just WOW!!! so so powerful and encouraging! SOH gets better and better each week! although my challenge right now is not with shidduchim, these episodes are jam packed with inspiration and hope for getting through any situation-and they are the most perfect reminders that Hashem is in charge. Tons of continued Hatzlacah with this podcast and in your personal endeavors!
Wow, what an incredible episode! The moment that alarm went off, i ran to set my own before even returning and finishing the episode. It's such a beautiful way to be mindful throughout the day! ❤
I walt for ur podcasts every week!! U make everyone feel so comfortable and are the most amazing interviewer!!! Keep flying the flag for strong independent women...UR FAB xx
Great episode! Very stron emuna. Devora i agee with you!! Hashem is yhe shadchan, he created us and will take care of us. But in order to not to take one line out of context and give "permission" to "accept me the way i an" i want to add or specify We dont have to change our personality but we do have to "fix" it, modifu it and give it direction. We are here to work on ourselves and that is the most important thing in a relationship, the humility to know that.
@@raquelkirszenbaum926 I agree with you. But Life is like an escalator that's going down and we need to try and move up on it. If we stop we fall back. If you and your partner are not moving in the same direction and at the same pace it won't work period. I believe that is what Devorah meant. Or as her husband said no pain no gain. One always needs to be working on themselves but if you end up with someone who wants to change you and doesn't respect you for who you are and what you need/want.It's a non starter. Think about it. As an example one might appreciate the way you laugh and one might despise it. You might want to change your laugh for them but it would make more sense to find someone who likes you the way you are so you can work on the important thing of life and not be distracted. But nobody is perfect and maybe just maybe if it's not too difficult to change that one thing it might all work out. I remember back in the day (like third grade) playing around with different laughs. And trying to figure out what I liked the best. Today I don't think about it. So the trick is to try and find a partner that shares the same interests and taste as you. Just imagine remodeling the house and he just hates it. That would be a horrible feeling. In simple words life is always give and take. But you need to make sure that you find someone who is going to want to work with you on your journey and not despise the way you are and want to change you. Your partner is meant to support you on your journey. Not push you around on a journey that is not meant for you. I hope this was helpful.
@@yitzchakenglard2514 hi, I was not disagreeing or adding at all. The podcast was great! But for the listener is important to not take things out of context
@@raquelkirszenbaum926 I hear you loud and clear. I think I was out of place. I was interpreting and combining what I understood. And I think we both ended up with more or less the same conclusion. As the theme goes in the original Les Miserables. Life is to give,not to take. May you keep on growing in the ways of Hashem. And with Hashems help we shouldn't slip up.
Awesome gives me faith to back off from bugging my 30 year old daughter when she is finishing her PhD and beatufu and kind I need to trust in z Hashem and support her Desiree to marry her beshereit I’m yirtza Hashem
Dating coach is a very dangerous job. You don't need to change your personality and you need to be yourself, but at some point you may need to compromise on some things your previously thought were deal breakers. Great episode
Fun installment! Tziporah, as a granny aged commentator - am daring to suggest you take a break. Less career, more space to find a positive zivug. Maybe a job break for awhile Meshaneh makom, meshaneh mazal. Much hatzlochoh in this new year😊
The older single women featured on this show have spoken about how unhelpful and hurtful unsolicited comments like this are for them, however well-meaning they may be.️
@@k10036 I agree. As we have seen with Tzipora. That she can juggle her career and still have the time for a vacation in England. And I'm confident that if she needs to take off for a few days, she would do so without us noticing. We need to enjoy her amazing work and daven to Hashem. That, just like she is finding ways to give chizuk to klal Yisroel , so too Hashem should give her all that she needs. May we be zoche to see all the good Hashem has for us and all of klal Yisroel.
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
