Inspiration for the Nation with Yaakov Langer

From Amish to Jewish??? Yes. You read that right. Briana Leapley, now Nechama Leapley, shares her inspiring journey from Amish life in rural Kentucky to becoming an Orthodox Jewish convert in Brooklyn. Leaving behind her family and traditions, she navigates intense culture shock, finds guidance from rabbis, and embraces a life of Torah and mitzvot. Her story is one of faith, courage, and transformation, moving from Amish simplicity to Jewish identity, and from Briana to Nechama, with her heart set on Israel.✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬► Twillory: Stretch Suits That Last!The most comfortable suit in your closet.Promo Code: INSPIRE20 for 20% OFF→ https://bit.ly/4eBHeKb► The Rumspringa Kallah: A Wild Twist in Jewish FictionA Chasidic scholar with a complicated halachic past sets off on a startling quest to find a convert bride among the Amish.

Rabbi Daniel Walker, leader of the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation in Manchester, became a symbol of courage during the Yom Kippur 2025 terrorist attack on his shul.

When Sunny Levi was a little girl, she prayed every day for her disabled brother to be healed - prayers that went "unanswered" and left her questioning God, faith, and the meaning of prayer itself. Years later, that same heartbreak became the catalyst for her spiritual awakening. Now a 7th-degree black belt, Emunah life coach, and founder of the Hitbodedut Spiritual Boot Camp, Sunny channels that early pain into purpose - teaching others how to find strength, peace, and clarity through personal prayer, faith, and self-discipline.Her website: https://www.sunnylevi.com✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬► Twillory: Winter is Coming, Stay WarmPromo Code: INSPIRE20 for 20% OFF→ https://bit.ly/4eBHeKb► Touro: Your Next StepTouro’s Lander College for Men / Beis Medrash L’Talmud offers a powerful balance of rigorous Torah learning and top-tier academics, guided by rebbeim and faculty who truly care about your growth.

David Tenenbaum was a proud Jewish engineer working for the U.S. Army when his life suddenly turned upside down. Without warning, FBI agents stormed his home, accused him of being an Israeli spy, and tore through his belongings looking for “evidence” that didn’t exist. For years he lived under suspicion, labeled a traitor for nothing more than his faith. He lost his reputation, his security, and nearly his sanity—but never his belief in truth. When the Pentagon finally admitted he’d been targeted because he was Jewish, David’s story became a chilling reminder of what happens when fear replaces justice—and how faith can outlast even the darkest lies.His book: https://a.co/d/64sCTt5His IG: https://www.instagram.com/davidatenenbaum/His website: https://drdavidatenenbaum.comEpisode with Rabbi Hauer ztl: https://youtu.be/G2Xt_SGD5jw✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬► Twillory: Winter is Coming, Stay WarmPromo Code: INSPIRE20 for 20% OFF→ https://bit.ly/4eBHeKb► The Dream Raffle: Win Your $1.2 Million Apartment in JerusalemHelp beautiful causes and also walk away with keys to a gorgeous - fully furnished - apartment in Jerusalem (if you win!)BONUS: Buy now and get entered into a $15,000 giveaway as wellUse PROMO code: INSPIRE for $10 OFF→ http://bit.ly/4nUg7gV► BitBean: Smart Custom SoftwareReally great way to take your business to the next level.Contact Bitbean today for a FREE CONSULTATIONReach Out Here→ https://bitbean.link/MeEBlY► Wheels To Lease: #1 Car CompanyFor over 35 years, Wheels To Lease has offered stress-free car buying with upfront pricing, no hidden fees, and door-to-door delivery.Call today!→ CALL/TEXT: 718-871-8715→ EMAIL: inspire@wheelstolease.com→ WEB: https://bit.ly/41lnzYU→ WHATSAPP: https://wa.link/0w46ce✬ IN MEMORY OF ✬This episode is in memory of:​Miram Sarah bas Yaakov Moshe​Shimon Dovid ben Yaakov ShloimaThis episode is for the speedy recovery of:​Yosef Chaim ben Devorah Chaya GoldaLchaim.#IFTN
