   Beatie Deutsch on Motivation, Failure, and Showing Up Anyway

   In this latest episode of Jamie in the Rova, I run into Beatie Deutsch, a six-time Israeli marathon champion, Olympic hopeful, mother, and mental health advocate. What begins as a simple stop for a warm drink turns into an honest conversation about motivation, failure, faith, and the work it takes to keep showing up. As we walk through the Old City, Beatie shares why motivation is not a feeling you wait for but a commitment you make. She opens up about chasing an Olympic dream, learning to separate self-worth from achievement, and finding peace with outcomes that are ultimately out of our control. She speaks candidly about mental health, disordered eating, and the pressure of being seen as strong, especially as a public figure and a mother raising daughters in a world obsessed with perfection. We talk about responsibility without self-punishment, discipline without cruelty, and trusting God while still doing the work. We end, as always, on the rooftop of the Aish Dan Family World Center overlooking the Western Wall, with a blessing about unity, purpose, and learning to recognize the unique light each person carries. If this conversation reminds you that you do not need to have everything figured out to move forward, take this walk with us. 0:00 – “Motivation isn’t a feeling” 0:38 – A quick coffee and a spontaneous walk 1:55 – Running in the rain and showing up anyway 2:48 – Commitment vs motivation 3:30 – Saying the Olympic dream out loud 4:45 – Failure, fear, and trusting the process 6:05 – Separating worth from achievement 7:20 – Mental health, disordered eating, and honesty 9:00 – Motherhood, role modeling, and self-compassion 11:50 – Aish, the rooftop, and a blessing for unity Subscribe for more conversations with trailblazing leaders who are changing the world from Jerusalem and beyond. --- Jamie Geller is the Chief Communications Officer and Global Spokesperson for Aish.

   Why Activism Became Personal for Michelle Ahdoot After October 7

   In this latest episode of Jamie in the Rova, I run into Michelle Ahdoot, an Iranian-Jewish activist, mother, and one of the voices helping shape how Jews show up in the world right now. We grab a drink, walk through the Old City, talk about family, identity, and the moments in history that feel uncomfortably familiar. And, as always, we end where every Jamie in the Rova episode leads… on the rooftop of the Aish Dan Family World Center, overlooking the Western Wall. In this thoughtful and honest conversation, Michelle shares what it’s like to carry the memory of why her parents fled Iran, and how that history shaped her response to October 7. She talks about watching antisemitism surface on college campuses, why activism felt less like a choice and more like a responsibility, and how building community became a lifeline rather than a slogan. Along the way, we talk about Jewish unity, generational responsibility, and what it means to stay loud, loving, and human in a moment that demands courage. Michelle reflects on the idea that “activism is the antidote to despair,” and how action, even imperfect action, can turn grief into purpose. And when we reach the roof, looking out over the place where so many prayers have risen for thousands of years, Michelle shares a hope for unity that feels both deeply personal and urgently collective. If you’re looking for a conversation that’s real, grounding, and quietly strengthening, come take this walk with us. 00:00 A chance run-in and a coffee in the Old City 01:13 Growing up Iranian-Jewish and finding your voice 02:22 College campuses after October 7 04:25 What End Jew Hatred actually does 05:58 When the alarm bells started ringing 08:23 Why preparation before crisis matters 09:08 “We are family,” identity and unity 10:20 The center of the universe: the rooftop 12:05 Where unity has to begin Subscribe for more conversations with trailblazing leaders who are changing the world from Jerusalem and beyond. --- Jamie Geller is the Chief Communications Officer and Global Spokesperson for Aish.

   In this deeply moving episode of Jamie in the Rova, I sit down with Shanna Fuld—journalist, podcast host of The Israel Daily, and survivor of an Iranian missile attack that destroyed her Tel Aviv home on June 16th during the recent war.

    The Marriage Proposal Syndrome HOLDING Women Back | Fleur Hassan Nahoum

    Women suffer from what Fleur Hassan Nahoum calls "the marriage proposal syndrome"—we work harder than everyone else and expect opportunities to come to us, but that's not how power works. Welcome to Jamie in the Rova, a brand new series featuring Aish Global Spokesperson Jamie Geller as she navigates the ancient streets of the Old City of Jerusalem for her coffee break, meeting amazing guests and sparking meaningful conversations. This premier episode features a raw and powerful conversation with Fleur Hassan Nahoum, former Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem, where she reveals the mindset shifts that transformed her from someone who lost a public election into a trailblazing leader serving one of the world's most historic cities. Jamie and Fleur discuss why women often see less than they are when they look in the mirror, while men tend to see more. They also explore how emotional intelligence is actually our greatest leadership advantage and why the combination of masculine and feminine energy in decision-making positions is what the world desperately needs. Fleur shares her family's 350-year history in Gibraltar, her father's unprecedented success as a Jewish leader in a Catholic country, and the moment she couldn't say no to serving Jerusalem—the place where Jewish unity began 3,000 years ago. This conversation will change how you think about ambition, failure, female empowerment, and what it means to stop waiting for permission and start taking what's yours. If you've ever held back, played small, or waited to be chosen, this is your wake-up call to go out there and grab it.
