But are we raising our kids to be afraid of the world... or to illuminate it?On this episode of Two Cents Live, R' Ari and Yossi Bensoussan react to the viral new Thank You Hashem Boys song, It's a Jungle Out There, and uncover the powerful message behind it.The conversation quickly turns into something much deeper:• Are we teaching our children what to avoid, or what they have to offer?• Have we become too focused on fear instead of confidence?• How do we navigate a world filled with distractions without losing sight of who we are?• What role should AI play in creativity, education, and Jewish life?Along the way, the brothers discuss parenting, technology, Jewish identity, the future of AI, learning new languages, and why today's generation may need a different approach than previous generations.A funny, thought-provoking, and unexpectedly deep conversation about raising children, embracing our mission, and finding our place in a very noisy world.

A raw, honest continuation of a conversation about anxiety, stigma, and mental health. Yossi and Ari unpack why life isn’t black-and-white, how anxiety shows up in real relationships, and why getting help doesn’t define who you are, it just means you’re human.

In this episode of Two Cents, Rabbi Ari Bensoussan and Yossi Bensoussan sit down for a wide-ranging, honest conversation that starts with Shabbos experiences and ends somewhere much deeper.They reflect on powerful Shabbatonim, the unity created through shared Torah, and what it feels like to be in a room where nothing is being sold — just learned, lived, and felt.Then the conversation shifts.R’ Ari shares something he didn’t plan to share publicly: his personal experience with panic attacks and anxiety, the fear of not understanding what was happening to his body, and the moment he chose to speak openly about it during a live Q&A. What followed revealed how many people are quietly struggling — and how heavy the stigma still is.Together, Ari and Yossi discuss:Panic attacks and anxiety from lived experienceWhy so many people suffer in silenceThe stigma around therapy and medicationGenerational trauma and modern pressureWhy getting help is not weakness — and not a lack of emunahThe difference between support systems and professional toolsThis is not a clinical discussion. It’s a real conversation — thoughtful, unfiltered, and grounded in lived reality.All Two Cents podcast episodes can be watched every week on Meaningful Minute Plus.Become a member at www.twocents.plusFor more mental health content, articles, and resources, visit Behind the Faces at BehindTheFaces.orgYou don’t need to suffer alone.
