Listen to Danielle Renov Relate What Mothers went through During this Latest Iran/Israel War

 

Danielle Renov—best known as the creative force behind “Peas, Love & Carrots”—joins the Meaningful People Podcast not to share recipes, but to open up about something far more raw and real: living through war in Israel as a mother. In this emotionally charged episode, Danielle shares what life is like in Yerushalayim under missile fire, separated from her husband and holding down the home with extraordinary resilience. She opens up about fear, faith, and motherhood in a war zone—describing what it means to remain strong for her children while the world around her is shaking, quite literally. From her roots in the Five Towns to raising a family in Israel, Danielle speaks about the deeper spiritual mission of living in Eretz Yisrael, the complicated emotions surrounding Aliyah, and why she refuses to leave even in the most dangerous moments. This conversation is not just about war—it's about the strength of Jewish mothers, the reality of daily life in Israel, and the unshakable emunah that guides Danielle through it all. Hear how one of the Jewish world’s most beloved influencers was navigating some of the most difficult days of her life—with raw honesty, deep faith, and surprising humor.

DIN: Danielle relates that the boys that she had as Shabbos Guests couldn't understand why anyone would want to live in Israel! 

I have related in the past that I had and have Seminary girls for Shabbos and not one of them has any love for Israel! And I believe that the fault lies in the School system. 

The American R"Y are really by and large meraglim and so are the Rebbitzins in the seminaries, they are basically Lady Meraglim, they hate Israel, which is very interesting, because the Kli Yakar writes in Parshas Shlach that the RBS"O really wanted to send women as Meraglim! Women in general love Israel, but today, the lady mechanchim refuse to instill into their students a love for Israel!
