On this edition of Shmooze Radio (originally aired 7/24/12) Rabbi Elazar Bogomilsky brings you his message on Parshat Va'etchanan

SPIRIT LADY- THE GIFT OF ROBIN'S SONG audio book by Alternative Talk- 1150AM KKNW

In this episode of Wisdom from the Wardrobe, the team kicks things off with a stylish stroll through the latest fashion headlines. First up: Anna Wintour announced her stepping down as Editor-in-Chief of Vogue on a random Thursday, that news had the fashion world buzzing. Then there's was that not-so-subtle spectacle that was the Bezos wedding in Venice. While the event itself was dripping in star power and staggering expense, it was the bride's dress that really stole the spotlight—and not necessarily in a good way. Aiming for Sophia Loren glam but landing somewhere between Dynasty cosplay and 1980s prom queen, it left the internet divided and our fashion senses tingling. But once the veil lifts, it's time to bare legs and bold opinions in our main topic: shorts in the workplace. Are they a sign of modern dress code evolution or a professional misstep? Can you channel Tom Browne tailoring without looking like you wandered in from a school drop-off? From inseams to office norms, the team debates the do's and beware of workplace shorts, how to style them with intention, and how to decode your company culture before letting your knees do the talking. As always, expect laughs, side-eye-worthy examples, and practical tips on how to stay stylish (and employed) when the temperatures rise. Spoiler: It's not just about shorts; it's about the strategy. Whether you are team trouser or pro-pedal pusher, this episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to beat the heat without breaking the unspoken office style rules. Happy Listening!

This episode of Wisdom from the Wardrobe, the team laces up a lively conversation that's equal parts style, semantics, and sole searching. Inspired by a real-life footwear fiasco, where a journalist was denied entry to a private members club for breakfast for wearing “sneakers” she swears they weren't sneakers and her outfit was elevated. We're diving feet-first into the fashionable gray area of what actually counts as a sneaker in today's style landscape. Are those minimalist leather kicks gym shoes in disguise? Can designer trainers moonlight as dress shoes? And why do some establishments still act like sneakers are the style equivalent of showing up in flip-flops? From the gym floor to the runway, the hosts untangle the evolution of sneakers, from their rubber-soled roots to their high-fashion reinventions. Expect plenty of laughs, spirited debate, and hot takes on everything from restaurant dress codes to why some sneakers might just be more polished than your average pair of Oxfords. As always, we're serving up practical styling tips, sneaky (pun intended) fashion faux pas to avoid, and fresh ideas on how to elevate your sneaker game, without getting turned away at the door. Oh, and before we step into all that…Bec drops an eyebrow-raising, poop-tastic “in the news” segment that's about decluttering using the “poop theory”, and let's just say, things get messy in the best possible way. Whether you're a sneakerhead or a style skeptic, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who's ever wondered if their footwear is too casual, or just misunderstood

DAMTT: Do Majors Matter? Ready for another wild spin on the Wheel O' Tangents? This episode finds Stacy embracing “roid rage” (thanks, prescription steroids) and losing sleep—while Eric fondly remembers his polio vaccine as oddly tasty. We've got first crushes, canine and musical (Devo), plus a sweaty, shirtless Iggy Pop sighting at the park. The duo finally wraps up The Godfather II, checks off more cultural blindspots, and debates the cinematic merits of both The Fantastic Four and Superman (spoiler: Eric's reviews are glowing). Stacy attempts to “get” Happy Gilmore 2—and mostly doesn't. And when it comes to the big question, “Do majors matter?” Eric's got an answer that depends on the branch of the military.

Kaleidoscope Visions panel delivers this month's ‘LEO MOON PHASES Mercury Rx Leo” where we rethink from the heart. “The Leo New Moon cycle enmeshes the fiery Mercury retrograde. Mercury rules connections, communication of all forms like speaking, writing, ideas. During this apparent retrograde period, thought patterns revisit old areas of activity, dreams, passions, emotions, and countless places stored in deep memory. In Roman-Greco mythology, Mercury the psychopomp was the only god enabled to cross the boundaries between the celestial heavens and the underworld. It is beneath the surface where deep emotions dwell that when lit by consciousness bring meaningfulness to our soul's path,” said Sue Minahan, founder, and host of the weekly show. “The full moon accentuates dynamic activating changing thoughts with Mars, Uranus and Pluto flowing in a grand air trine. The tempo whirls in competing ideas to envision how to activate renewed forms.” The moon's our personal planet regulating the past coming into the present. Weekly the moon systematic monthly cycle transitions from the New Moon to first quarter, Full Moon, and third quarter moon phases. Daily moving 12-13 degrees, the moon moves through a Zodiac sign in two & a half days. Joining Sue Rose Minahan from Kailua-Kona, Big Island, Hawai'i are Kaleidoscope Visions panel members, Amanda Pierce, and John Chinworth of Seattle.

You've heard the phrase before: The proof is in the pudding. But did it ever dawn on you that you are the proof? Old belief systems can get us stuck in unwanted habits - beliefs that tell us we need another certification, more research, more status (more anything) to be a worthy voice on paper. Possibility exists is in the present moment, not in our dark memories. Does this sound tricky?

The Beagle Alliance is a rescue and advocacy group working to reduce and eventually end animal testing, and also working to find homes for animals who have been released from laboratory research. Although The Beagle Alliance operates in Canada they also work in tandem with rescue and advocacy partners in the US. Our conversation touches on reasons why animal testing is still being done even though it's often not relevant or useful, and on what we can each do to help educate and inform more people about viable alternatives.

Archetypal Symbols panel unpacks the “2° Leo New Moon Leadership Overhaul.” “The Leo New Moon activates change that will unfold over the coming years. As a deeply actualized new moon in Leo, it compels us to overhaul how we view and engage with leadership—both within ourselves and with others. No more pushing buttons,” said Sue Minahan, founder and host of the weekly show. “The times call for a leadership overhaul that inspires choice, connection, and competence. This Leo New Moon strikes a chord that our discussion will explore by examining various leadership approaches.” The 2°08' Leo New Moon cosmic energies peak on 24 July at 3:11 p.m. EDT (Washington DC) and 7:11 p.m. UT (Greenwich, UK). The Archetypal Symbols panel integrates each New Moon's astrology, numerology, tarot, Jyotish Nakshatra, and the Sabian Symbol system—a mystical imagery set created in 1925 by spiritualist medium Elsie Wheeler and astrologer Marc Edmund Jones. Joining Sue Rose Minahan from Kailua-Kona, Big Island, HI, are Justin Crockett Elzie of Port Angeles, WA, and Elizabeth (Liz) Muschett from Camano Island, WA.

Episode 083: “The Power of Asking, ‘How Are You?'” Every day, we ask (or are asked) “How are you?” How often, though, are we willing or ready to hear or share the REAL answer in that moment? If you're like most people, it's not as often as we think or want to believe. This week, JDK and Ashley explore the potential power in asking and answering this key human question - and discuss how we can intentionally get and give so much more connection out of this question!

He has degrees in marketing, urban planning, real estate and strategy but has spent his career in financial services, social media and now real estate - mostly as an entrepreneur and partly as an employee at Amazon. He balances Indian, Canadian and American culture, loves helping those who are new to North America and looks forward to the interesting stories that his interview guests bring each week. When not podcasting, he is helping his wife Prachi build her pharmaceutical business or hanging out with his son Arjun.
