About this episode

Chanan and Aharona Gans share their transformative journeys from a rock band and monk life to embracing Judaism and raising a family.

Chanan Gans was a Jewish teen touring America in a rock band, immersed in the world of music, freedom, and self-discovery. At the very same time, Aharona was traveling through Thailand and India, living among monks and searching for spirituality, truth, and deeper meaning. Thousands of miles apart, both were on their own journey to find purpose and God. Then came a mysterious dream, an unexpected coincidence in Israel, and a meeting that changed everything. Today, Chanan and Aharona are Chassidish, raising a family in Baltimore and sharing the incredible story of how two wandering Jewish souls found faith, Judaism, and each other. This is their wild, emotional, and unforgettable journey of destiny, spirituality, and divine providence.
