In this eye-opening conversation, Nachi Gordon sits down with Zvi Gluck, founder of Amudim, for one of the most important and raw episodes we've ever released.
From drug use and gambling in our schools, to secrets hidden behind closed doors, to real stories of crisis, denial, healing, and hope — Zvi pulls back the curtain on what's really happening in our community.
We discuss:
— How common drug and alcohol use truly is
— The rise of gambling addiction among teens
— Why prevention MUST start earlier
— What yeshivas still don't understand
— Abuse, denial, and the cost of silence
— The lifesaving impact of proper education
— Real stories of families on the brink — and those who found healing
— What parents need to know right now
This conversation is honest. It's uncomfortable. But it's necessary.
If you're a parent, educator, community member — or simply someone who cares — you need to hear this.

► Eishet Chayil
Eishet Chayil — The Woman of Valor is a new book by Rabbi Yossi Marcus that brings King Solomon's classic poem to life through the stories of 24 remarkable Jewish women — from Sarah and Miriam to Esther and beyond. Drawing on millennia of Jewish scholarship, especially the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, the book celebrates women of faith, courage, and wisdom.
Each verse is paired with contemporary artwork by Israeli artist Lia Baratz, making the book both educational and inspirational for readers of all ages. Dedicated to the women of Nahal Oz who were killed on October 7, 2023, it stands as a tribute to Jewish women of valor throughout history.
Already in its second printing, Eishet Chayil is an ideal gift for Bat Mitzvahs, brides, wives, and mothers. Available at https://www.eishetchayil.com and https://store.kehotonline.com/mobile/
