In this podcast, the first one since my return to podcasting, I speak with my eldest sister's daughter, Devora Mason, who is a mother of five living in Israel. Devora speaks about her family and how they deal with the situation in Israel since October 7th. She is articulate and very open about her family's experience, including the fact there are divergent political views in her family - yet everyone gets along. Have a listen. Devora is fascinating and someone I am very proud of.

Josh Arbess: The Gift of a Stutter
Tuesday Nov 01, 2022
Tuesday Nov 01, 2022
I love nothing more than interviewing people who just inspire the hell out of me. Josh Arbess did exactly that. Josh is 23 years-old, with an inimitable spirit - one which helped him overcome a most challenging stutter. Throughout our schmooze, Josh tells us how initially he thought his stutter was a curse, then over time, he began to see it as a gift, a blessing. He shares with us insight into how he grew enormously through the process of learning to embrace his stuttering. And we hear about his beautiful parents and family who supported him always, encouraged him and helped him overcome humiliation from being bullied and individuals who lacked the sensitivity to see the beauty that lies within Josh Arbess. Have a listen and learn. Be inspired. Grow through Josh's experiences. Remember what he said, 'we all have stutters', perhaps not through speech but in one way or another. The Avrum Rosensweig Show: It's the show that schmoozes.

These Corona Virus times are tough for all of us, some more than others. I think we all agree, our front line workers, those smack in the middle of the craziness, are to be embraced for their courage, expertise and ability to respond professionally to this unknown medical nightmare. In that light, please have a listen to this very special interview with Rachel Gemara, a nurse at Shaare Zedek hospital in Jerusalem, Israel who volunteered to work in the hospital's newly launched Covid19 ward. Listen to why she decided to step-up and her account of the last moments of Israel's first victim of this pandemic, Holocaust Survivor, Aryeh Even. This is an amazing discussion with Rachel, and important insight into the inner workings of a Covid19 environment in Israel.

Corona Radio 7 - Ellen Schwartz: Unstoppable Love...Jacob's Mom!

Thursday Apr 02, 2020
Welcome to Corona Radio 7 with our very special guest, Ellen Schwartz. Ellen is a special soul, who together with her husband and children, raised a son, Jacob, who had Canavan Disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disease. The doctors said Jacob would live until around five. He passed away last January at 21 years old. What motivated Jacob's powerful life force? Love, then more love, and more and more. In this Corona virus time, when inspiration and hope are crucial have a listen to my schmooze with Ellen. Here are some of her quotes: "When we stopped trying to fix Jacob, he started fixing us." "When your heart is broken, it forces you to open up and see all the love around you." "He (Jacob) was pure goodness...everything good in the world was inside of him." Corona Radio is a subsidiary of HatRadio!, which will be back. We'll be okay folks. We're humankind
