One Cup of Tea. One Wrong Turn. | A Public Service Announcement from Kids, for Kids
A cup of tea on Friday night. A family hike that was supposed to take just fifteen minutes. Two ordinary moments that turned into stories worth sharing.
In this episode, Morah Tziri meets Chaya, a nine-year-old from Montreal, whose attempt to make tea ended with a hot water urn spilling and burning her arm. With a guest appearance from her sister Adina, Chaya shares what happened, what recovery was like, and the ways she noticed Hashem taking care of her through it all.
Then we meet ten-year-old Ayala from Cleveland, whose family hike took an...
You Don’t Know My Whole Story | With Hindy & Coco
You see someone smiling, going on trips, getting something new. You think, “She has the best life.”
But do you know her whole story?
Ten-year-old Hindy joins Morah Tziri and special co-host Ahuva, with her very cuddly dog Coco, for a conversation that starts with funny dog stories and takes us somewhere much deeper.
Hindy shares openly about her parents’ divorce, life between two homes, and the feelings other people don’t always see. We talk about taking kids seriously, writing things out, knowing when you need someone to talk to, and being kind bec...
I Wasn’t a Bad Kid | 15 Years Later, I Found the Little Boy I Never Forgot
Fifteen years ago, Matty Dreyfuss was my first-grade student. (Well, sort of, cuz I was the assistant.)
He was bright, curious, full of energy, and definitely not always the kid whose head was exactly where the rest of the class was.
And I never forgot him.
This year, completely out of the blue, I called him.
This convo turned into a one I think every kid, teenager, parent, and teacher needs to hear.
Matty talks about what it felt like growing up hearing that he had “so much potential,” gett...
Nobody Told Him to Become Frum: The Teenager Who Discovered What So Many of Us Forget We Already Have
Nobody told David Jacobowitz to become frum.
He wasn’t pushed into it by anyone. He wasn’t raised that way. He was a teenager sitting in public school when something inside of him started asking: What am I doing with my life?
And then he did something about it.
David pushed to transfer himself into Jewish school and slowly began a journey toward Shabbos, kosher, Torah and a Yiddishkeit that he genuinely loves.
But this conversation isn’t only about David becoming frum.
It’s about all of...
You Don't Have to Go to Space | EKEV on Music, Wonder, Big Dreams and Finding Hashem Right Here
What happens when Morah Tziri hears EKEV singing, “I don’t need to go to space,” and decides she simply does not believe him?
She calls him to find out.
In this funny, thoughtful, and completely unexpected conversation, EKEV, also known as Gavriel, admits that he would absolutely love to travel to space and even dreams about the music he might create there.
But the conversation quickly becomes about much more than astronauts and moon rocks.
Morah Tziri and EKEV talk about where creativity comes from, what it feels like to create...
Anything Is Possible: What Miriam A”H Taught Us to Believe
When people first met Miriam Mintz A”H, they noticed how little she was. It did not take long to realize how truly huge she was.
Miriam lived with extraordinary confidence and independence. She learned to drive, earned her master’s degree, became a special educator, got married, and built real, lasting relationships with the people around her. She devoted her life to helping children who struggled with reading, but what she gave them went far beyond the skills inside a book.
She taught them to believe:
I can, even when it’s hard...
Nope, He’s Not Stopping: Big Goals. Hard Climbs. Keep Going.
This episode is such a good one — and it has two parts that fit together perfectly.
First, meet Eli — an 8-year-old from Lakewood who decided to start saying Tehillim… and then actually kept going.
What started as a “we’re bored, let’s say Tehillim” moment at the kitchen table turned into something much bigger. Eli finished the whole Sefer Tehillim once, started again, lost a chart, remembered where he was up to, kept going, and is now saying Tehillim as a zechus for his grandfather, Meyer ben Tzirel Perel, who need...
What I Wish Someone Told Me in 7th Grade (and Why the UPS Driver Gets the Potato Kugel) | Shimi Adar
I wanted to bring Shimi Adar on because behind all the dancing, energy, and positivity is someone with a lot of depth.
In this conversation, we talk about peer pressure, self-confidence, kindness, and what it means to stop living for everyone else and start becoming the person Hashem created you to be.
Shimi shares stories from her own teen years, the struggles she faced trying to fit in, and the lessons she wishes someone had told her when she was younger.
I hope every person listening walks away feeling a little more confident...
Push A Little Harder | Today's Music is Deeper Than You Think
This episode started with a car ride, a 24six playlist, and one song that completely took over our house.
After hearing Rabbi Kalish speak about the importance of listening to the music our kids connect to, I decided to follow my daughters’ lead into the world of this generation’s music… and it led me to Zevi.
In this powerful conversation, Zevi shares:
• how one audition changed his life
• the story behind “Push a Little Harder”
• how music can reveal emotions we don’t always know how to say out loud
• what “celebrate the love...
There’s No Such Thing as Limits : A Marathon, a Teen with Muscular Dystrophy and 2 Boys with One Unforgettable Message
In this episode, Morah Tziri speaks with two truly InKredible Kids.
Chaim is a 12-year-old Team Lifeline runner who has already completed the Miami Half Marathon three times. He’s funny, full of energy, and has a message for every kid listening: no one is too young to make a difference.
Then, in a surprise twist, Chaim gets to reconnect with Azzi, a boy he met at the marathon, who inspires him deeply. Azzi shares about music, Camp Simcha, life in a wheelchair, and how he faces challenges with si...
When Life Gets Hard, What Kind of Kid Are You?
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 th...
My Father Was a Nazi… and I Raised a Jewish Family
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 child...How She Turned Pain Into Power | Charlene Aminoff
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 yo...
From Bored to Board: Age 4 to Blindfold Chess—A Teen's Journey
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 be...

The Stern siblings—Yakov (10), Rina (8), and Toby (5)—know firsthand, having just moved from Miami Beach, Florida to Manchester, New Jersey less than a week before our conversation.
