The Trust Factor with Jessy Revivo

Send us Fan Mail Power is not just influence, it’s accountability. We dig into what happens when someone with authority uses their position badly and what it means for both the person harmed and the person holding the power. Through a Torah perspective on modern life, we challenge the fog created by corrupt media, corrupt information, and loud influencers who profit from confusion. The way through...

Send us Fan Mail Passover is one week away and we’re in countdown mode, but the real question is uncomfortable: can you actually stop working long enough to feel the holiday? We talk about why a long stretch of Passover into Shabbat is not a burden but a gift and why feeling restless without your inbox can be a sign your priorities are drifting. If you can’t enjoy the pause, we challenge you to as...

Send us Fan Mail An ambulance is one of the clearest symbols of human decency: you rush toward danger to keep a stranger alive. So what does it say about a movement, a culture, or an ideology when the target is the ambulance itself? We start with Hatzalah and the broader reality that Jewish communities often build parallel systems of emergency medical services, security patrols, and mutual aid tha...

Send us Fan Mail Someone looked at a life-saving ambulance and decided it should burn. That single choice tells you a lot about the upside-down logic driving so much of today’s hate, and it’s where we start: a clear-eyed Torah perspective on current events, why staying informed matters, and how to respond when the loudest claims around you are flimsy, recycled, and detached from basic morality. We...

Send us Fan Mail Missiles hit Israeli cities and the people tasked with moral clarity go silent. We start there, with the anger and the grief, and we don’t soften the question: where is the United Nations when civilians are targeted, and why does condemnation show up so selectively? I share why that silence matters, how it feeds antisemitism, and why we have to stop letting institutions and headli...

Send us Fan Mail You can live through something extraordinary and still have to pack lunches, pay bills, and get the kids to bed. That tension sits at the centre of our conversation: we believe the month of Nisan and the lead-up to Passover are built for redemption, yet the “open miracles” can be easy to miss when life feels loud, rushed, and expensive. We talk about Torah themes like Parashat Zac...

Send us Fan Mail Red and blue lights flash behind you and suddenly your mind starts bargaining. You rehearse the perfect line, you try to read the officer’s face, you plan how to regain control and you forget the One who actually runs outcomes. We take that everyday stress moment and expose a deeper spiritual pattern: modern idolatry can look like treating a human being as if they have power that...

Send us Fan Mail A stranger sounding holy can still be a criminal, and a ticket that ruins your day can still be a gift. We start with a personal scam alert that hit close to home: an impersonator on TikTok copied a well-known rabbi’s profile, used the right Hebrew phrases and blessings, then steered the chat toward a “young investor” and crypto. It’s a classic online scam pattern dressed up as tr...

Send us Fan Mail Seeing a police car on the highway can make your heart drop, even when you’ve done nothing wrong. That tiny wave of panic is the doorway to a much bigger question: what if life keeps handing us “traffic stops” as a form of loving accountability, not punishment? We walk through a practical, Torah-rooted way to handle those moments with trust in God instead of anger. I share the exa...

Send us Fan Mail Flashing red and blue lights can turn a normal drive into instant panic, but that jolt of fear might be one of the clearest mirrors you’ll ever get. We start by naming a wider reality: while many of us coast through familiar routines, people in Israel can be forced to live minute to minute, and we pray for a speedy, decisive end to the war so lives aren’t trapped in repeated dange...

Send us Fan Mail The fastest way to stall your own progress is surprisingly simple: talk too much before the work is real. We dig into why announcing plans early can invite doubt, distractions, and unnecessary resistance, and why the stronger move is to keep your head down, stay humble, and let your actions do the talking. From there, we tackle two mindset traps that quietly block spiritual growth...

Send us Fan Mail There’s a moment in a hard season when your brain starts bargaining: “Just give me clarity. Just make it make sense.” We talk about what happens when you stop demanding perfect answers and start building something sturdier: emunah that matures into bitachon, real trust in God, strong enough to hold you steady when life hits.  We lay out three levels of emunah as we understand them...

Send us Fan Mail A whole operation can grind to a halt because of a three-inch part, and if you’ve ever had a day like that, you know how quickly your mind goes from problem-solving to panic. I’m pulling a lesson straight out of real life: the moment you realise you don’t control outcomes, you only control your effort. That single shift can change how you handle stress, conflict, and the pressure...

Send us Fan Mail A simple part goes missing, the machines go quiet, and the costs start ticking up. That’s where most stories of workplace chaos begin—and where tempers flare. Ours takes a different turn. We walk you through a real morning of supplier runs, blank stares, and a surprising 30‑second fix that arrived only after hours of delay. The bigger reveal isn’t mechanical. It’s the decision to...

Send us Fan Mail Snow melts, the air softens, and a simple step outside becomes a wake‑up call: comfort can refresh, but it can also sedate. We open with that shift from shelter to sunlight to frame a harder truth about growth, suffering, and what it means to live a life that actually compounds value. Through a clear, relatable take on measure‑for‑measure justice, we unpack why friction can be a f...

Send us Fan Mail Ever notice how losing a single hour to daylight saving can unravel your mood, patience, and focus? We use that small jolt as a doorway into a larger conversation about sustaining joy through Adar, especially after the emotional peak of Purim. Joy, here, isn’t a fleeting high; it’s a trained baseline. We talk about building that baseline with simple, deliberate practices while sta...

Send us Fan Mail What if the toughest moments aren’t random knocks but crystal-clear messages, custom-made to help you grow? We dig into the idea of measure for measure—a framework that turns confusion into clarity by matching outcomes to their roots. Starting with Shabbat as the week’s power source, we explore how intention on the seventh day sets the tone, energy, and focus for everything that f...

Send us Fan Mail Feeling the Pesach countdown tightening your chest? We get it. Between Purim overdrive and Passover prep, it’s easy to drift from meaning into performance. We unpack why so many of us overclean, overspend, and overdeliver—and show a calmer, truer way that honours halacha, preserves energy, and keeps joy at the centre. We start by separating spring cleaning from Passover cleaning....

Send us Fan Mail Outrage travels fast, and lately it feels like the loudest voices set the story before truth gets a chance to breathe. We open the hood on how that happens, tracing a familiar script: selective praise, a dramatic pivot, then a scapegoat to absorb the blame. When a pundit paints Chabad as a hidden hand in world affairs, we don’t just push back on facts; we examine why such claims l...

Send us Fan Mail Words can steady a life or set it on fire. We take a hard look at how speech that feels harmless—true, even positive—can still wound, and why “just asking questions” often acts as a Trojan horse for suspicion and harm. Drawing on a timeless ethic of guarding the tongue, we make a practical case for restraint: avoid names, avoid talking about people, and choose conversations that l...

Send us Fan Mail History doesn’t just repeat; it teaches—if we’re willing to look. We open with a bold Purim lens on modern conflict and ask a harder question beneath the headlines: how do we live with trust, clarity, and purpose when the clock feels close to midnight? That’s where this conversation moves from charged takes to practical tools you can use today. We make the case that joy is not dec...

Send us Fan Mail Providence often hides in plain sight. We open with the joy and meaning of Purim, then follow the “coincidences” in the Megillah to a bigger claim: when you look closely, timing, alignment, and improbable turns point to a steady hand. From there, we widen the frame to modern life, where information storms reward outrage and clickbait. We call out performative narratives around Isr...

Send us Fan Mail A week charged with global headlines collides with the joy and paradox of Purim, and the timing couldn’t be more revealing. We follow the Megillah’s trail of “coincidences” that never say God out loud yet point to a design that’s impossible to miss: a deposed queen, an unexpected bride, a forgotten favour, a sleepless night, a perfectly timed entrance. That hidden architecture isn...

Send us Fan Mail Feeling like you’re just getting through the week instead of living it? We open with a clear distinction between survival and growth, then show how a simple weekly pause—especially before Shabbat—can flip the script. By asking what truly improved, where joy showed up, and how our bond with the Creator changed, we trade autopilot for intention. From there, we lean into radical hone...

Send us Fan Mail What if a birthday isn’t just a date on the calendar, but a signal that something precise and generous is at work? We open up about a decade of waiting for our daughter and the chain of moments that made us rethink coincidence: a rabbi’s simple guidance to pray at the Western Wall, an unexpected family invitation to Israel, and a hospital schedule that closed every door but one. M...
