Cholent Story is a hidden gem in downtown Jerusalem where cholent, beer, and live music come together. More than a place to eat, it's a place where every visitor becomes part of the story.

A developer left Apple to build an app helping Jews connect more deeply to Torah.

The Shnayim app was created to help people keep up with Shnayim Mikra v’Echad Targum, the weekly practice of reviewing the Parsha twice with translation or commentary.

What started from one person struggling to stay consistent after learning about the mitzvah in 8th grade turned into a tool now helping Jews around the world learn every week.

The app automatically updates to the current Parsha, tracks progress, and even includes AI summaries to make each aliyah easier to understand.

In a world where technology often distracts us, it’s beautiful seeing people use it to bring more Torah into Jewish life. ✨

Not every Yid’s path looks the same.
Some stay learning full time. Some balance work and growth. Some are still figuring it out.

But maybe part of Ahavas Yisrael is learning how to see the humanity in people whose journey looks different than ours.

Before judging another Jew, try stepping into their shoes for a second. That shift alone can change everything.

Hidden on the Lower East Side is one of the most unique shuls in the world.

Kehila Kedosha Janina was built in 1927 by Greek Jewish immigrants and remains the only Romaniote synagogue in the entire Western Hemisphere.

Inside are centuries-old traditions, melodies, and customs that almost disappeared forever. The architecture reflects the journey too, blending Mediterranean and Ottoman influences brought over from Greece to New York City.

According to tradition, this Jewish community began after a ship carrying Jews from Israel was wrecked on the shores of Greece thousands of years ago.

And somehow, after all that history, the shul is still alive today with Shabbat minyanim, community events, and generations of Jews keeping the story going.

We asked Rabbi Yosef Galimidi to share a pnimiyus insight on Purim, and he revealed a powerful comparison between Purim and Chanukah through the lens of אתערותא דלתתא and אתערותא דלעילא. Purim is the gragger held from below the awakening began with us. Esther gathers the Jewish people, we fast, we daven, we take action in the physical world and that effort draws down the yeshuah.

Chanukah is the dreidel spun from above a light placed into our hearts and miracles that carry us. Sometimes we make the first move and Hashem responds, and sometimes Hashem sends the awakening that lifts us up.

In the heart of the “Wild West Bank” we found a bar that shouldn’t exist… and a vineyard that people said could never grow. 🍇

They broke through rock, planted vines at high elevation, and today the rosé “punches you in the face” with minerals pulled straight from the mountain.

Why is it called Settler Cellar?
Because after 2,000 years we came back, settled the land, and turned prophecy into something you can actually taste.

And since it’s Adar… we had to ask the most important question: how does this connect to Purim?

Purim is the story of hidden miracles.
This place is one of them.
Vines growing where they said nothing would grow.
Fruit coming out of stone.
A nation coming home.

There’s so much flavor in every bunch of grapes…
but the only way to understand it is to come here and taste it yourself.

We hit the streets of Jerusalem to find out what costumes people are planning to wear this Purim.

[TYH Nation / Thank You Hashem @TYHnation]

There is a famous custom in Jerusalem in which Yeshivah students perform flash-mob dances before the Chag of Purim to raise money for various Chessed organizations.

Simchi found himself at the foot of Ben Yehudah in the middle of one of these Flash Mobs.

Should we bring this custom to America?

An auto body shop that fixes more than cars.

From Brooklyn to South Florida, Superior Collision was built on emes.
Clear estimates. Daily updates. Real customer care.
Pickup. Drop off. Treating every person like family.

They came down to serve the growing Jewish community and they’re booming.

And the best part?

A non-affiliated Jewish customer became family…
his kids are in yeshiva today and they helped make his Bar Mitzvah.

That’s what happens when you put Hashem in the business.

For your car and your neshama.

BLIZZARD MADNESS!

Unfortunately, due to the snowstorm, our Purim onesies cannot be shipped today.

However, it’s Adar, and in honor of making sure everyone stays b’simcha, we didn’t let that stop TYH. We took matters into our own hands.

How, you may ask?

Door-to-door onesie delivery service in the quad bike!

LET’S GOOOOOO!

We surprised the YU basketball team with TYH onesies for Rosh Chodesh.

Let's just say they will be wearing them for warmups for the rest of the season.

A Freilichin Adar!

In a small house in South Florida, thousands of families are being fed with dignity every year.

Rav Shayale’s Kitchen. The first and only kosher soup kitchen of its kind in South Florida delivers fresh, hot meals to families going through medical, financial, or life challenges. Sometimes it’s not about money. It’s about a mother who simply can’t cook.

This is what Ahavas Yisrael looks like.

Why is there a street in NYC named after a rabbi?

Rabbi Yaakov Spiegel was the last rabbi of the Romanian American Congregation, once known as the “Jewish Carnegie Hall” of the Lower East Side. The shul hosted legendary cantors like Yossele Rosenblatt and Moshe Koussevitzky and could hold nearly 1,800 people.

But Rabbi Spiegel wasn’t just leading a historic synagogue. He made sure families had food for Shabbos and cared deeply for every single person in his community.

One powerful story: he would sing Aleinu with a man who had once been in the children’s choir, matching the exact tune from his childhood, even if others didn’t understand. At his funeral, his children said the song welcoming him to Heaven would be Aleinu Shebach.

If you’re walking through Lower Manhattan, look out for Rabbi Spiegel Way and remember the legacy behind the name.

Jerusalem has its own food truck culture, and yes, it’s kosher. One of the standouts is Pasta Tria, serving fresh ravioli, fettuccine, and tortellini with salads and focaccia, all cooked in about two minutes.

Oley Lev Libyan Shul sits quietly on Mazal Dagim Street and is considered the oldest synagogue in Jaffa. Long before it was a shul, the building served as a Jewish khan, a roadside stop where Jews traveling to Yerushalayim could rest, eat, and use a mikvah.

After 1948, the Libyan community reopened the space and returned it to Jewish prayer and life. It remains a hidden piece of Jewish Jaffa, a place where the city’s Jewish story still lives.

Chabad Street is now a real street in downtown Miami. A non Jewish state representative offered to name the street in front of the school, and the community chose Chabad for the Rebbe’s nachas. It’s a small sign with a big message.

Iliev never put on tefillin before. In the streets of Jaffa, three months after arriving from Ukraine, he took on the mitzvah for the first time.
