From Broken to Believer: My Journey Home
Description
Depression, Faith & Coming Home In this powerful episode of None Your Business, Eliyahu Pereira shares his remarkable journey of Jewish identity, faith, and personal transformation. Born in Miami to a Brazilian father who rediscovered his Spanish Portuguese Jewish roots, Eliyahu grew up between South Africa, the UK, Brazil, and the United States. By high school he was lost and heading in the wrong direction. At 17, desperate for change, he was sent to Israel, a move that would completely redefine his life. From culture shock in Tzfat to spiritual awakening in a Jerusalem yeshiva, and later serving in the Israeli army, Eliyahu opens up about drifting from Shabbat, struggling with loneliness, and wrestling with faith in a secular environment. He shares what it feels like to know who you want to become while living far from it. This episode explores Jewish identity, spiritual growth, army life in Israel, and the challenge of holding onto faith without community. It is an honest conversation about losing your footing and finding your way back. If you have ever struggled with faith, searched for meaning, or felt caught between worlds, this story will resonate.
