Nachi Yavo & Joseph Kraus: Escaping or Evolving

In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with 22-year-old Joseph Kraus — a bold, outspoken voice who left the Hasidic community and now calls it a cult. While Joseph doesn’t hold back about the trauma and control he experienced, we also reflect on the beauty, tradition, and depth within Hasidic life. This isn’t a takedown — it’s a conversation. Tune in for a nuanced exploration of identity, belief, freedom, and the price for leaving everything behind and if it’s worth it? Hey there!
