He shouldn't be known as the son of Mordechai Ben David . He should be an amazing singer and songwriter . He is , and I sat next to him . I finished the show and we sat next to him .
I finished the show , we sat next to him and we found a corner somewhere in this big hotel and we sat there and whoever was there was like maybe 10 people Hanging out Just chilling . And Modi , he says you know , ricky , I go no . And he says to me in this very chichita show , like face . Like this is somebody , this is somebody , and I go .
No , he says to me she sings chazanas . You don't know what's going on , how good it is Cantorial singing , and she didn't even like take a beat . But she went into a song which performers don't usually do . But you said here I have an audience , let's do it . And I think you sang .
Rahim no .
Could be Rahim . No , or it could have been Pinchik's Ruzza de Shabbos .
I think it was Rachem . No , because somebody recorded that video and posted it online .
Okay , this is a hundred years ago by the way .
Well , let's hear it .
Oh , from Ricky ? No , give us the Rachem .
No .
Yeah but closer to the mic .
This is a piece . This is Yoselokuk Okay , go ahead . I . This is Yosela Cook . Okay , go ahead , I'll tell you who .
After Just make sure when you sing you're close to that , so that our listeners don't complain .
Ah , complaining , rakhim eno Adusha melekeinu .
Al Yisroel hamechom .
Ve'al Yerushalayim yirechom .
Ve'al etzion mishkan kevod echom Shabbat shalom .
Thank you very much . Wow , Isn't that amazing .
And I'm telling you 10 people 10 people showed up and listened to her and it was , and I said okay , so I turned to you . I turned to you and I go pitch perfect . He goes pitch perfect .
And .
I was like right away . And then , and that's , and that , go pitch perfect , he goes pitch perfect . And I was like right away , and that's how I met , that's how I met you . And then we follow each other on Instagram . I just see the journeys you're going on , you see the journeys and she shows .
Once in a while , after a show , she comes over and says hello , but she no .
What is going on here ? That was , first of all , amazing . I mean you look like you walked off the set of like an mtv music video in 1996 and there it is , and I mean that in like the most complimentary way ever . And then you start talking and you're in like fiddle around the room .
No .
Well , I don't know what .
MTV is Exactly Okay . Is it like a TV network ?
It was a TV network . Yeah , they used to have videos of music .
We were not allowed . No , please tell us what is going on .
No , no , I want to talk about what she's doing now . Okay .
Her story is interesting .
She grew up in a Hasidic home . Yo Hasidic home . No , Give us a little background .
I grew up Hasidic .
No , which kind of ?
Hasidic B'nai Yoel . Have you ever heard of B'nai Yoel or no , you ever heard of the Satmer ? Has a little branch called Benai Yoil . There's the two Satmers , aroni and Zaloni . There's two rabbis that they were fighting . They split . There's the two big rabbis . Then there's a smaller group , benai Yoil .
The sons of Yoil .
So they are only with the old Rebbe , kind of like the Meshachistan with Chabad . You know what that is .
Okay , let's just say I do . Is this enough for you ? It's so interesting .
Of course I know the Mashiach they're not like the Mashiachist .
They don't claim for the rabbi to be alive and the rabbi to be Mashiach , but they only go with the old Satmar ways . The rabbi Nehoy .
But to the point . She in the house grew up speaking Yiddish .
Yeah , we only spoke Yiddish in the house and we were only allowed Yiddish books and Yiddish , everything Yiddish and thank God because when you sing Yiddish , you sound like you sing Yiddish .
Do you understand what I'm saying ? So , whatever your past was , whatever you went through , you went through . But now this vessel , let me tell you she's a vessel of one of God's gifts . When she sings , I could tell you a few times I've seen her perform . There's a , there's .
Sometimes you look up , there's an entire room having an amazing time , but the one having the best time is the performer yeah am I right or wrong when you're in the zone ? Yeah no , are you not having the best time in the world ?
I am and I also feel like , uh , I need the crowd for that . I can't perform like alone and have the best time I need to have the people there yeah , yeah , and you get into it .
So I singing is such a zone periel , I can't even explain it to you . It's like it's a one , it's like a high , like when you're doing comedy . When you're doing comedy , when you are in the zone and you know this is gonna sit and the celsius hits and you still know , oh my god , I have 30 minutes left .
Thank god , it's gonna be the best ride ever and the whole room's having a great time . No one's having a better time than me , right ? And you're the same way when you perform .
No , yes , I love it . I love every second of . I feel like I was born for it and I don't have like any . I know a lot of singers have like stage fright or they're a little introverted .
I'm not like that there's no introversion whatsoever when I'm on stage , I come alive even more yeah .
And did you always know this ? Even as like a little girl ?
Always knew it . I started singing before I was speaking .
So what was your first like song that you connected to you should get I get eaten . Oh wow , you're gonna give us a little the beginning . Give us the beginning the beginning and I'll translate for for for parallel , okay , I ?
would sing this when I was like three years old . Nisht is nothing , no .
And I'm still singing it Lidog . Nothing to worry about . Don't worry basically .
Don't worry , Jews .
And Periel's learning Yiddish . Okay , so this is an Avram Fried song , nisht G'day . Don't worry , yiddin , this song is like one of those Avram Fried songs . When you hear two chords , you know the song , what it is already and you're already in the state of mind . Tanya .
Tanya Right .
All those songs , it's like you just doom , boom , Such like hits in the Jewish world . That's I always say . I feel so bad for the Goyim that they don't have Jewish music . Okay , so this is one of those songs , and the beginning is just so unbelievable .
It's a crazy song . I feel like I need a stage and a big , like I need to stand for this song . But I'm sitting now so I'll try . Do you want to move in a better ?
position .
No , it's okay .
Those of you who know she's sitting while she's doing this .
Yeah , you need to stand and move around for this .
We can fix that . No , it's okay , you can stand Okay .
You want to stand ? I don't know you should sit , you should stand .
Okay .
Let's use this . A sweet dream .
I've seen .
In the third temple .
I was .
The priest for bringing the sacrifices .
The Levites are singing .
Moshe Rabbeinu is teaching us the Torah . The Sanhedrin sits the Knesset's soil . Instead of fighting , they're learning Torah and they're living Torah Aaron the coin . The menorah of the Netzach to win oh world in awe .
All the secrets of getting along are revealed . Wow , then the song goes . Then the song goes . Don't worry , don't worry , don't worry , don't worry .
Don't worry , don't worry , don't worry , don't worry , don't worry , don't worry , don't worry , don't worry , don't worry , don't worry , don't worry , don't worry , don't worry .
Don't worry , don oh my God .
Thank you so much . What a song , what a visual it puts you in Of Mashiach . It's Mashiach . It's an energy Mashiach song .
It's a Mashiach energy song .
It's a Mashiach song Period , Ricky . I just want to tell you something ?
Yeah , modi never asks for guests . Ever , Ever Okay . I mean , we've done maybe like 120 something episodes . Modi never asks for guests , ever , ever Okay .
I mean , we've done maybe like 120-something episodes of this show . You are , I think , like maybe one other A few . Again , benny Roganitsky , who's a cantor , a chazen . I asked him to come on , yeah , but that's , I know . I know this is a gift . By the way , I want to say something on the podcast right now , the song Rahim that you sang before .
Yeah , obviously , yosela Rosenblatt , that's his song , but there is a version of it , sung by Ari Klein , that could make your skin fall off . That's how great it is . Wow , that's how great it is . Wow , that's how insane it is . Again , another performer who you can see is having a better time than anybody listening to him . Have you ?
ever heard him no .
Amazing Check it out . Yeah , so when you do these shows , how do you set the audience up , because you can't hit them with that kind of a song .
Yeah , this is an ending song . This is always the ending song , and at the end of it I'll get down on my knees and I'll go . You know , I'll do the whole running up the octave with my voice until I can't anymore , and you know . So it's pretty crazy .
It's crazy .
It's crazy when I do this song , everybody gets like you know , and Everybody gets like you know , and I , when I do it too , I get like this adrenaline pumping through my body when you're singing . Even now , just doing it now . I already got like my face is hot right now .
Right , shaking a little bit . It hits me sometimes , when I'm honored to take the homage , to do the singing to be the guy that leads the service . You understand how insane that is . Even you understand that . But the tzibur the public has sent you . You're the tzibur to go represent them . You know it's an insane title if you think about it .
And you're up there and this is a godly thing and a spiritual , and you're connecting and you're singing and this past Shabbos I sang . I was up there , I was so in the zone and you know how we sing , and then it's followed by Kaddish . So I was so in the zone and the shul was singing with me . I sang . Should we sing a little bit of that ?
Sure .
I don't know it so well . You don't know it .
I know it , but like not well enough to rip it out .
You do a Karl Bach Nigen to Vashamru . It's like the part of the service . So at the end I go into , I repeat it . I don't understand You're not going to . I repeat it in a little more Chazanishi Like I go through it and at the end I went back into the for the Kaddish , and that's so , that's it just happens like it just happened to me .
It was so good , nice , and you're performing in the best you can do . I'm not Kosovitsky , I'm not any of those , I'm the best that I could do , and you're feeling it , but I can do .
I'm not kosovitsky , I'm not any of those , I'm the best that I could do , and you're feeling it , but I heard you eating those notes , yes so you know who goes to our synagogue leah forester , all right , who also has an amazing voice . She was a guest a while ago , like early episodes , uh , in different studios without mr Fancy Couch and .
Leia and I go way back .
Yes , leia Forrester , also a performer .
Amazing .
Amazing . So she's in my shul , she goes to our shul so she sees me . She sees me going into the zone with the singing and she can tell that I'm like'm there . You know she gets that yeah , yeah a performance can understand that right ? Yeah , for sure so tell me about your one woman show so what ? What do you ? What do we get when we go see you ?
you get a little peek into um my life . You know growing up and I the songs that I write yes um , are pretty much about either my past or how I'm dealing with things now .
With a positive note .
With a positive note , uplifting even a little funny . Some of my songs are funny . If you translate them to English they're not funny , they're dark and heavy , but in Yiddish it's funny somehow .
So tell us a little bit , give the audience like a little bit of the story of what .
Maybe through one of the songs .
So this is one of the songs . It's called the Chatzitim and the Nervim . Do you know what that means ?
Yes .
Chatzitim and the Nervim means Well , to translate it exactly , it means I have to do with my nerves , but really what do I have to do ? It's really hot , but they make it one word it implies that I'm crazy , I'm mentally ill , I'm um , like in a very . You use it as a person like , oh , oh , what's wrong with him ? In Hebrew .
In Hebrew , In Yiddish , you just need .
That's it . So , for someone else . You say For me it's so . There's this play that we grew up with . It's called the Letz T'Gedank , and one of the scenes in there is this guy he goes to the doctor . It starts Chaim Stinkovic guides him doctor . His name is Chaim Stinkovic and he goes to the doctor and he says I'll give you a little .
He says he sees the guy in the waiting room .
He sees the guy in the waiting room , he says what are you doing by the doctor ? What are you doing by the doctor ? He says I'm going to the doctor With what ? With the nerves , with the nerves . Why are you yelling ? I want to be with the nerves . So basically saying , oh , I'm going to the nerves , I'm crazy , what I'm crazy .
That's why I'm here at the doctor . What I'm crazy , I'm crazy . Why are you yelling , you crazy ? So yeah , what ?
are you yelling for ? Are you crazy ? I mean , he's like he's good , but you nah , I get it . I get it .
Oh no , so that's how the song starts .
No , go ahead .
I hate you with my nerves . I hate you with my nerves . I hate you with my nerves . I hate you with my nerves . My mother told me that every bottle I drink is a bottle of sugar . I hate you with my nerves . I'm so nervous . It's so good .
What are you doing with your nerves ?
My dad has a party so I can't come in . I'm afraid I won't be able to meet you . What are you doing with your nerves when I was 15 years old I wanted to walk in the nerves . I'm a psychiatrist . I keep pills in my mouth Deeper in the spouts . No one should know that I'm enjoying myself Now that I'm older my staff is almost older .
I can't take it anymore , so I'm a little too tired . I have tea with the nerves .
I have tea with the nerves . I have tea with the nerves .
I have tea . With what with my nerves ? I'm going to you with my With my nerves . With my nerves . That's a little part of the song . It has another .
It's amazing . It's amazing . Good for you , but you understand it's amazing .
So it almost feels like you don't even really have to understand Yiddish or all the words .
You got two of the words . You can understand everything else .
Yeah , a lot of Like . You explain it like a little bit enough that the music is obviously incredible and speaks for itself . Yes , am I right ? Did you understand any of that ? I understand enough . I understood enough to .
What was the Hebrew word ? The therapist Psychiatry .
Psychiat , therapist .
Psychiater .
Psychiater . Psychiater .
They said it was mitter , it was okay .
Half of Yiddish is Hebrew . It was mature Mutar .
I understood the bottle of Tylenol . Okay , I feel like you don't need like you don't need to understand every single word to enjoy it , though that's what's kind of amazing , right ?
so if I translate it to English , it's going to seem like pretty dark . It's saying my mother told me even though the first line of the song I'm thinking of changing it into Montata and , and then my father , because my mother never said anything like that , it's just my father .
Oh , your dad has a sense of humor .
Yeah , an abusive sense of humor .
Oh , okay , yeah .
I didn't get that .
Oh , I was like , oh , okay . It's that your father said you were crazy .
It's yeah , I'm saying first my mother and then my father , but really it's just my father . My mother just said don't listen to Tati , is Tati the father ? Tati is the father .
So basically , my father told my mother , told me in the song , but my father told me that every Shidduch that they read to me is a Meshiginit , is a crazy person , because you have it's the team of the Nervim , because you're crazy . And then , when I was 15 years old , and even about 15 , I already wanted to run away . Um , I swallowed a bottle of tylenol .
You know , because I didn't know tylenol is not going to kill you . Um , uh , actually , because I didn't know I could see a therapist , because I didn't really know about like mental health or anything like that . And then , after asking and begging a few for a while , they said it was okay to see a psychiatrist .
Then I had to hide the pills so nobody should see that I'm taking them . Now that I'm older I'm not hiding anymore . I can say with freedom , I can say with freedom with happiness yeah that I'm a little means a little crazy , that's amazing . That's really incredible really that's the first part of the song .
The second part of the song I mention a bunch of other things that have helped me throughout with anxiety , depression . You know mental health issues , but you're slaying it now , but you're killing it now .
From all of that , what happened in the house ? You got a song out of it . I got a song out of it , yeah imagine if you didn't get a song out of it . Yes , but you got a song out of it .
Yes , I got a song out of it and it's a crazy good song .
It's a crazy good song , so Baruch Hashem .
Baruch Hashem .
Baruch Hashem , thank God I don't really like .
I don't . I'm very happy with everything that I went through . Yeah , like I didn't have a hard life .
I'm almost it was too easy . My father paid for college for me . My father paid for college me was one of the funniest things I think ever happened in my house . My mom tells him modi's going to college . My father goes , our modi , and she says to him . She says to him , she says to him yeah , all the kids in America go to college .
And he goes , our Modi's going to college and he paid for the whole thing . God bless him , because otherwise this Modi wouldn't have gone to college .
God bless your man .
So maybe if my parents gave me a harder upbringing I would have been funnier or something . Probably , not , probably , not Probably not Listen .
I think that it's really incredible and probably you're giving a lot of strength to a lot of other little girls who don't know that they don't have to follow that road . I can't imagine that it was probably really scary and difficult . So it's really impressive and I give you a lot of credit On this tone you're using . It's true , yeah , but keep this up B .
Because you want to make it all like it's like light , but it's not . It's like a really amazing thing for her to put on those pink glasses and that t-shirt like a rock star I think it's easy for her to put that on and to put a tichel on .
Probably am I right yeah , I do put a tichel on when I go to see the family .
So you do yeah , or a tichel is sometimes it's the shmata , they put their cover , the headers exactly how dare you call it a shmuck ?
I do know a Yiddish word she knows .
By the way , do you know who rocks a tichel on another level , can I just fling off the topic ? Leo and I watched the documentary of Elizabeth Taylor .
Oh , I don't know who that is . No , sorry .
She was an actress . I'm going to tell you what she is .
I'm going to explain you . I'm going to explain you , you're going to explain me .
I'm going to explain you what grammar , what's grammar in the world ?
That's amazing .
Elizabeth Taylor was a very huge actress back in the 1940s and 50s , huge , the biggest thing Hollywood ever had . And so they were telling… it's her recordings and you can see they always show pictures and she always covers her head .
So she's like this tichel , she's like a tichel yeah , yeah , she wears like and so , but she was very glamorous .
Leo and I , before we go to bed , we watch a little something until the pills hit so with her . It's like two husbands the next two husbands , the next we like . The documentary lasted us . A documentary that's only supposed to last one night lasted us for three nights . It was miraculous , but she rocked the tichel .
A tichel is really good . I have no problem with the tichel . It's the spitzel that I had a problem with Okay that I had a problem .
What's a schnitzel Is ?
that like a piece of chicken ? No , it looks like a piece of chicken .
It's when they cover their hair with , like a thicker thing with a hat attached to it .
It's like some people will look good in it and I don't want to ever disrespect anyone that wears it and likes it . And it's just for me . My family is supposed to wear a schnitzel , like to wear a spitzel , like my mother wears a spitzel , and , ironically , three we're four sisters . Only one of us is wearing a spitzel .
What if you ?
don't want to wear a spitzel . Well , now that I haven't been wearing a spitzel , my father hasn't spoken to me in what 13 years ? It's unfortunate for him , yeah .
Wow , what's he missing ?
It's a loss well , it's not like he was speaking to me a lot before that , right , but uh but you have close friends you sing along with . I see that yeah , and I have my sister . We've been singing a lot together .
About to get there they your sister , and you are amazing , your sister , and you are amazing , and you also with this rabbi .
Oh Rabisha .
Rabisha , oh yeah , who came to my show in the Hamptons ?
She's the best .
I saw you guys did a full… A live A full… A Havdalah service together . It was beautiful . Thank you , it was a beautiful Havdalah service , yeah .
Rabisha's been very good to me . She's . Yeah , so risha's been very good to me .
She's I'm living with her in long island .
Great . Where did you grow up ? Did you grow up in new york , um ?
I grew up in brooklyn , in williamsburg , that is williamsburg , that is , in new york , or maybe it's not that , that part of williamsburg ?
yeah , uh-huh it's , it's new york , but you know , recently I had to buy mezuzahs for a new house and I buy them in Williamsburg . Oh , okay , the guy's name is Zaidi .
Zaidi .
Zaidul .
Zaidul , maybe Wait a second .
Anyway , it doesn't matter . I buy my mezuzahs there and the guys that work there are born in Williamsburg . They've grown up in Williamsburg . They barely speak any English .
Okay , so this is what I'm going to say you don't have to if you're staying in your community , stop .
Everybody stop . I don't think that the two of you can appreciate how insane this sounds to somebody who maybe is not familiar with this . How you can grow up in Brooklyn and not know who Elizabeth Taylor is is an incredible thing .
It's pretty wild .
It's wild .
But I would choose it . If I had to choose , I would choose it over knowing who it is . I would choose Zemel and Chaim Stinkovich from that play that we grew up with Over Elizabeth Taylor .
First of all , I love , I'm stinking bitch .
But I'm proof that you could know both . Yes , exactly , you can also know both , yeah .
You know what I appreciate .
No .
The culture shock and the finding out stuff .
Right , that's what I was about to say People don't get that .
And I get that , which I appreciate that so much . That must be so exciting for you , so exciting , be so exciting for you . So exciting in the beginning . Now it's not as exciting anymore because I already know everything well , I don't know everything .
I know everything . You definitely don't know everything .
I'm gonna take you with me . I really don't know everything , um , but like when you're in this bubble and you're in the safe , uh little um shelter , yes , and you've never , ever heard a goisha song . You've never heard the radio . You've never , ever heard a Goetia song . You've never heard the radio . You've never seen a movie .
And then you hear your first Goetia song which was what for you I was in the 99 cent store on Broadway and Hayward . I think they closed down . I don't know if they're still open , but I was over there getting school supplies . I was like I want to go to the Goetia store .
How old were you .
I was about 15 , I usually never went into even a goisha store , so I wouldn't even hear the radio anywhere . And we were told , oh , you hear the radio , like make sure you tune it out anywhere . So I'm in there , I'm already a little , um , you know , uh , I don both .
It's curious , not it's I was , you were saying like curious curious curious , curious , curious , curious and rebellious .
Let me tell you , if I'm the one and I'm the one catching you , you're in trouble what did I say ? I'm kidding you're curious , curious . He's very curious , no curious , whichious Curious he's very curious , no Curious . Which , by the way , that little banter Leah Foster made a business out of it A hundred percent , a hundred percent out of it .
I was naigereg .
Naigereg . Okay , no , go ahead .
I was naigereg .
So she was . You were in the 99 cents store , I wasn't as much naigereg as I was ovgeregt , how great is Y go ahead ?
so so I'm in the store and what's the song ? Um ? And it's playing , ironically , a taylor swift song . Um , which . Are you like a fan of taylor swift ? no , not at all , but I just think okay yeah , now I listen to like bb king and ray charles . You know what I mean ? I don't listen to this crap . But then this was very new to me .
So I hear she wears T-shirts , I wear shorts or something like that . I don't know if I said it wrong and I'm like they're singing about short skirts , which I'm not allowed to wear , and it's a girl singing . I've never heard a woman singing , besides for Kinneret , wow . And it's like .
And then I'm walking down the aisle and I see this notebook and it has like Hannah Montana on it . So I made this assumption in my head oh , maybe it's this girl singing . So I thought like , oh , she's blonde , it sounds like she's blonde , it makes sense .
So in my head that was that song and I was so fascinated by it I was like , oh , I want more of this .
The best part of the story is the way she pronounced Hannah Montana , what did ?
I say Hannah Montana , hannah Montana . Yeah , you said it perfectly . You couldn't have said it better .
You said it exactly the way it should be said Mojdeh , mojdeh .
So I already knew I had like a cousin and a friend that I know they listen to the radio . So one of my friends my bad friends that I wasn't allowed to be friends with , showed me on I had a little MP3 player , showed me how to like use the FM radio , like how to get to like a channel , and I was like whoa , this is the the things I was feeling .
You can't get that when you grow up somewhere , like how you have to jump out of a airplane to get that feeling . You know what I mean wow um so I feel like now that I can do all these things . I have to go rob a bank to get this feeling . You know what I mean , or just get on stage and sing .
Chasing the high .
Chasing the high it's like a high .
But then it comes with a crash where you feel guilty . After I would listen to the radio , I would feel so guilty that I'm going to get punished and I'm going to die and look at that .
You're still alive .
And you're doing better you ever were .
Yeah , that's right . So what's your favorite Geisha ?
song . What's your favorite Geisha song ?
Hit the road , jack , and don't you come back . No more , no more , no more , no more . Hit the road , jack , and don't you come back . No more . What you say , she's got it Beautiful . One of my favorites . It's a really fun song .
I mean your voice is insane .

We need to take a deep breath , always , always breathe .
When he feels with the house that's not those , put them around , and not to my rose . Then he feels with the belt . Is he grows with the , my nose breathing , and now , when you're both too big breathing it out when you have a panic . When your heart's a little scared , when you feel like you're going above the sound .
My head's working too slow . I feel like I'm in a warm house , when I feel like the mind is still , when I feel like something is missing , when I'm worried and I don't have any money . I feel like I'm out of my mind in the world when I feel like my heart is in two .
And no one can help me how I go when I don't feel like this .
I have a deep feeling .
When I feel like my heart is in two and I'm going out , and I'm going out .
When I feel like the world is so big and when it's like out of control , just breathe in and out , right ?

I understand that this is my journey and that I my struggle is to have parents that don't understand me sure exactly you choose your parents before you come down . I don't like , blame them or have resentment , that's fine that's Mashiach and it's also not their fault , really , because they were .
You know they're children of Holocaust survivors same and you know they've . They're very unaware as well . They're children of Holocaust survivors Same and you know , they've . They're very unaware as well . So they're not like they're not even present , they're like completely disassociated .
My grandparents also , like our entire family , was killed in the Holocaust , but my grandparents obviously survived and did speak Yiddish , and I'm sure that they would be kvelling to know that… .
Yiddish is amazing . There's a bunch of new singers , tursky , a young kid on… .
