As we close out Season One of The Do Good Podcast, Brad takes a moment to reflect with gratitude on all of the inspiring stories shared so far. In this special episode, he shares the studio with Tikva—a true hero dog who survived being shot on October 07 and was rescued from the streets of the Negev. While Tikva can’t tell her story herself, the lessons she brings us—resilience, hope, and healing—are powerful reminders to carry forward. Her story speaks volumes. She carries in her spirit a message of survival, healing, and the kind of hope we all need in difficult times. Her name, Tikva, means hope—and that is exactly what she offers us as we look ahead.

As we wrap up this first chapter of our podcast this is a chance to thank you for being part of our community—we’ll see you in Season Two. So Happy New Year everyone and here’s to carrying Tikva’s hope into tomorrow—and to all that’s to come in Season Two.

In this deeply moving episode, we speak with Revital Ben-Tzur Yosef, a mother of two and former tech professional who managed a small company from Tel Aviv, whose life took a transformative turn just days after October 7. After reading a heartbreaking message about soldiers surviving on canned food alone, Revital looked at her 12-year-old son and said:
“Let’s go bring them food.”

From that spontaneous act of love was born Revital’s Hamal—a now 24/7 civilian-led volunteer initiative that has since become a lifeline of emotional and physical support for Israel’s combat soldiers.

What started in a Tel Aviv living room has become a national movement, delivering:

• 🥘 178,000+ Hot Meals
• 🥪 42,000+ Schnitzel Challah Sandwiches
• 🍫 55,000+ Chocoluks
• 🎁 13,800+ “Boxes of Joy”

From pop-up kitchens to personal deliveries behind the lines in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Judea and Samaria, Revital’s Hamal unites people from all walks of life — secular and religious, young and old — to deliver not just food, but a message:
"You are not alone."

Through letters, decorated packages, and warm meals made with care, Revital and her volunteers are nourishing the body and the soul of those defending Israel.

This episode is a tribute to the strength of civilian unity, maternal instinct, and the power of simply showing up when it matters most.

In this heartwarming and inspiring episode, we meet Michelle Cypes, an American living in Israel, whose response to the tragedy of October 7 was simple, powerful, and deeply personal: she baked cookies.

With one of her sons returning from abroad to serve, Michelle turned to her passion for baking as a way to give back. What started as a few trays of cookies taken to army bases quickly turned into a full-blown operation. As she shared her efforts on social media, the requests poured in—and Michelle rose to meet them, one batch at a time.

Over the last 20 months, she has baked thousands upon thousands of cookies for soldiers across the country, sending sweetness straight to the front lines. From pictures of soldiers in Gaza proudly holding her cookies, to bat mitzvah girls raising funds to support her mission, Michelle’s story is one of selfless giving, creativity, and love in the face of war.

Her cookies may be small, but their impact is huge—a reminder that even the simplest gestures can bring comfort, joy, and humanity in the darkest times.
