  Mayer Weiss grew up completely Mexican — and today he’s a Hasidic Jew living in the Orthodox Jewish world. In this emotional and wild Jewish and Joyful podcast interview, Mayer shares the unbelievable true story of how a Mexican teen searching for meaning found himself drawn to Orthodox Judaism, Shabbos, and a completely different way of life. From his mother being arrested by ICE… to secretly keeping Shabbos at home… This isn’t just a story of religion. It’s a raw conversation about identity, family, pain, truth, purpose, and searching for meaning.
