More Questions You're Not Allowed to Ask | Esty Shushan Hosts Professor Shalom Sadik, Part 2
Tensions rise between Esty and Professor Sadik around the status of women and the price of conservatism inside closed communities. In this second part of the conversation, they take on questions of family, relationships, and sexual harm, in the context of the widespread ideals of faithfulness and holiness. Later, the professor explains why he calls Kabbalah "the monster of the sefirot" and denies its literal truth, and whether a life of religious faith can really be built on reason alone, while shutting out emotion.

A Conversation That Might Annoy Some Men :( | Esty Shushan Hosts Shelly Rapoport
Yes, that risk is real, but we still thought these topics were worth talking about, because one day you might pass them on the street, in your neighborhood, or under a streetlamp, and think: how did I never notice?

Adventures of a Feminist in the Matchmaking Market | Esty Shushan Hosts Leah Sheinbrom
What does the romantic dream of a Beit Yaakov girl look like, and what happens when it doesn't come true by twenty? Leah Sheinbrom, a clinical social worker, a graduate of Nivcharot and founder of the "Sicha" (Dialogue) group for exchanging views between feminist women and Haredi men, spent long years of singlehood in a world where every passing year is counted out loud, and married at an age considered late by Haredi standards.

What Went Wrong in the Court of the Vizhnitz Dynasty? | Esty Shushan Hosts Yehuda Moses
The Hasidic idea was born to give worth to the ordinary person and connect everyone to religious experience and to God. But in certain places it has curdled into total subjugation to a single flesh-and-blood figure, the Rebbe. Investigative reports by Aharon Rabinowitz and Yoeli Brim on the Vizhnitz-Merkaz Hasidic dynasty revealed just how far that can go: Hasidim required to trail behind the Rebbe everywhere as his human "tails," kollel scholars selling their apartments and donating their savings funds to build a quarter-billion-shekel study hall, and an old feud that still fuels mass street brawls today.

Dad Is Watching From Above and Always Loves Me | Esty Shushan Hosts Ofir Tubul
"Dad Is Watching From Above" was Shas's election slogan; "God Always Loves Me" became a wartime anthem. Against them stands the slogan "We will die before we enlist," voiced by Shas's rabbis and leaders, pulling Mizrahi Israelis toward Haredi separatism.

In My Circle, No One Wants to Know What I Do | Esty Shushan Hosts Tzipi Horowitz
Does Haredi society want to know what our security really costs? Who pays the price? And what happens to the bodies and minds of those who came back from it, never again to be who they were? In this episode of Haredit Meduberet, Esty Shushan hosts Tzipi Horowitz, a Haredi woman who works in the Defense Ministry's rehabilitation division and personally accompanies wounded soldiers, those hurt in body and in mind, on their path back to recovery. Tzipi speaks with raw honesty about how she got there, tracing it back to the days of early, unready motherhood that taught her to search for a path and to ask the questions she wasn't supposed to ask. She describes what it does to a Haredi woman to look, day after day, into the eyes of people who risked everything on the battlefield, to walk with them on the endless road back to life, and then to go home herself, to a community that would rather not know what her brothers and sisters paid for its peace of mind.

Game of Thrones in the Haredi Oligarchy | Esty Shushan Hosts Eli Bitan
Haredi parties enter the 2026 election at the height of their political power, a dream coalition, every committee, every post, and a rock-solid political alliance with the religious bloc. And that's exactly where the paradox shows up: never have they been this strong, and never have they felt this defeated. Yeshiva students under arrest, sanctions, anger and fury boiling over in the Haredi street at a political leadership that doesn't really seem to know how to handle the moment.
