Nissim Black: The Real Cost of Choosing Torah & Yiddishkeit
Inspiration for the Nation with Yaakov LangerShow Notes
Inspiration for the Nation is the weekly Jewish podcast from Living Lchaim, hosted by Yaakov Langer.
This episode addresses the reaction that followed Nissim Black becoming Jewish. It also follows the discourse around how antisemitism intensified, including controversies involving Kanye West and Candace Owens. It looks at how those conversations spilled into everyday interactions, changing how people spoke, distanced themselves, or made assumptions. The focus is on identity, conversion, social consequences, and the choice to speak plainly rather than retreat or self-censor.

Ten years. Eleven IVF retrievals. Sixteen transfers. Six miscarriages. For a decade the answer was always no, and Tamar and Gidon Ben Tzvi never stopped holding on to each other and to Hashem. This is what waiting really looks like, and what it looks like when the wait finally ends.
