Through the teachings of Rav Soloveitchik, the Kuzari, Ramchal, and other classic sources, we explore how Jewish tradition confronts the deep questions of pain, divine justice, and the soul’s journey.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of A Soul Grows in Israel, I sit down with Rebecca Sigala; body confidence coach, boudoir photographer, and host of The Body Image Revolution, to talk about the journey of coming home to ourselves.

We open up about our paths to self love and how years of internalized messages shaped the way we saw our bodies and our worth.

Rebecca shares how photography became a healing tool and how helping others feel seen allowed her to reconnect with her own inner strength. We explore what it means to truly love and trust yourself, and how that deep connection can open the door to help others around you.

This conversation is about healing from within and learning to live in your body with presence and compassion.
