Summary
This week on Restart with Debbie, I had the honor of welcoming Danielle Chetrit into my home in Israel, a powerful voice from San Francisco and the founder of Malca Productions. Danielle shared her journey growing up in a deeply Zionist home, and how everything changed after October 7. What began as a response to rising antisemitism in the diaspora became a movement bringing some of the strongest pro-Israel voices from online platforms into real-life rooms across America. We spoke about life for Jews in the Bay Area today, the challenges in schools and communities, and the courage it takes to keep showing up despite protests, threats, and misinformation. Danielle opened up about Malca’s mission: empowering Jews and allies with tools, truth, and connection and building something real at a time when silence is no longer an option. This conversation is about leadership, responsibility, unity, and light even in the darkest moments. I promise it will leave you inspired to stand stronger, speak louder, and remember why community matters now more than ever.
