In this powerful episode of the Meaningful People Podcast, we sit down with Miriam Greenwald and later with Rabbi Ken Greenwald to reflect on the life, legacy, and impact of Ronnie Greenwald z"l, a man who quietly changed the lives of thousands.

From building Camp Sternberg into a haven for kids who didn't fit the mold, to negotiating on behalf of Jews imprisoned behind the Iron Curtain and in hostile regimes, this conversation reveals the heart, courage, and relentless compassion behind the legend. We talk about marriage, parenting, leadership, faith, forgiveness, and what it truly means to never give up on a person.

This is not just a story about accomplishments, it's a masterclass in loving Jews, believing in people, and living with purpose

She grew up Catholic in Venezuela, never knowing Jews still existed, yet her family quietly lit candles, covered mirrors, and placed stones on graves. Centuries-old Jewish practices survived in her home without explanation, passed down in secret since the Spanish Inquisition.

In this episode, Reyna Simnegar shares her extraordinary journey from Venezuela to Judaism: uncovering crypto-Jewish roots dating back over 500 years, discovering her family's hidden mesorah, living through political collapse under Chávez, and ultimately converting Orthodox and building a Jewish life and family. From Schindler's List to UCLA, from Taco Bell to Jerusalem, this is a powerful story of identity, faith, exile, and return.

A rare, deeply personal conversation about Anusim, survival, and what it means to come home, even when it takes generations.

In this episode of the Meaningful People Podcast, Tuvia Blau and Hindy Herman address one of the most painful and least talked-about struggles in our community: parental alienation and family estrangement. They unpack what estrangement actually looks like, how it develops, and why the emotional toll on parents and adult children alike can feel unbearable.

With honesty and compassion, Tuvia and Hindy explore both sides of the story, parents and children, touching on boundaries, shame, communication breakdowns, and the tools needed for healing. This conversation isn't about blame. It's about understanding, growth, and the possibility of rebuilding connection, even when it feels impossible.
