Alex Clare – Double-Platinum Frum Performer | Ami's House Episode 13

Alex Clare – Double-Platinum Frum Performer | Ami's House Episode 13

In 2011, Alex wrote a #1 song that changed his life and changed the world of Jewish music along with it when he became an publicly observant Jew. That song went double-platinum and today Alex nearly 300-million streams on Spotify and 100k subs on YouTube.

He also did a Tiny Desk Concert... so, he's the real deal.

We dug deep into the myth of "Alex Clare," how his music has evolved since "Too Close," how it feels to get uber famous, working with Rick Rubin, and the evolving state of Jewish music .

Check out Alex on Spotify

Ben Younger – Writer/Director of the Iconic Movie "Boiler Room" | Ami's House Episode 12

Ben Younger – Writer/Director of the Iconic Movie "Boiler Room" | Ami's House Episode 12

Ben is the writer/director of the films Boiler Room (2000), Prime (2006), and Bleed For This (2016) starring Miles Teller. Most recently he was the Exec Producer for the ABC show The Company You Keep and has written/directed several episodes for Snowfall on FX, among many other projects.

Boiler Room was iconic for many reasons, the biggest one being that 20+ years later it holds up as well as it did when it premiered at Sundance and helped launch Vin Diesel’s career and cement Ben Affleck as a serious actor. Ben has been a huge inspiration for us for us as Jewish creators, and to Mike specifically for portraying Jews on film. It was a thrill to sit down and discuss creativity, Hollywood, and his recent missions to Israel post-October 7th.

Madison Margolin– Growing up with Ram Dass & Tripping in The Catskills | Ami's House Episode 11

We caught Madison at a special time– when her unique interests and popular culture somehow crossed. She just published her first book (https://www.amazon.com/Exile-Ecstasy-Growing-Psychedelic-Underground/dp/1401973531) which chronicles her coming of age at chassidic psychedelic festivals in the Catskills, where she reconciled her past– as a Buddhist Jew growing up with Ram Dass her present as a journalist –and what might be her future as a weird old lady selling artisanal baskets in Tzfat. We discussed psychedelics, the creative process, October 7th, and how bored Madison gets talking about drugs.

36-Hours in Hell: An eyewitness account of Hamas in Kfar Aza on October 7th

36-Hours in Hell: An eyewitness account of Hamas in Kfar Aza on October 7th

Where were you on October 7th? Dvir and Maya Rosenfeld were hiding in their bomb shelter with an 11-month old, trying to keep their baby from crying and exposing them to the terrorists that had taken over their hometown– Kfar Aza.  

They’d soon be the aunt and uncle to orphaned twins, friends of hostages and victims, and among the fortunate few to make it out of their homes alive. They are now unlikely spokespeople for the kidnapped who sadly have no voice.

If you’re feeling exhausted of hearing accounts of October 7th, you aren’t alone. But at a time when the events of the attacks are being questioned, it’s never been more important to document the loss of life and humanity at the hands of Hamas.

This their story. 

If you’d like to help, please consider donating to help the Weiner and Rosenfeld families from Kfar Aza rebuild:
