What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Chaya Leah and Yael are by turns charming, thoughtful, funny, and irreverent. They manage to snag great guests, with whom they always seem to click!

MeanLibrarian · Sep 2026

One of my favorite podcasts. Yael and Chaya Leah are so honest, authentic and unfiltered. Plus they make me feel more sane in this increasingly insane world.

Knows too much · Dec 2025

I’m not Jewish, but this podcast brings much more to the world right now than I imagine you’d even hoped for. Your capacity for levity in the face of hardship is par for the course in your culture (no profound observation there)but it’s a testament to your strength and it’s why there will never be a challenge you won’t overcome. I know it doesn’t seem like it right now, but I promise you, there are many of us out there who don’t share your faith or heritage, but cherish what you bring to our world. You’re a beacon of light in a dark time. We see you.

YUsucksobad · Dec 2025

Podcasts live and die based on chemistry and these two have it in spades. The last few years have been painful and isolating, this show goes a little of the way to making up for lost community. I don’t always agree politically with the hosts but their worldview is inclusive and broadminded. I’m grateful to have them in my ears.
