Exploring the lives of three Jewish doctors. Living in very different settings, yet linked by a common thread: compassion. They left a lasting mark on medicine and Jewish history and were dedicated to the strong belief that every fragile life matters. In New York, Dr Martin Couney helped save thousands of babies. His sideshow displays were controversial, but at a time when incubator technology was widely doubted, his exhibits brought life-saving technology into the public eye. Dr Mary Gordon was born in Lithuania and her trailblazing career as a pioneering female physician who was deeply connected to Jewish life, allowed her to carry her medical calling into some of the hardest moments of the twentieth century, in Palestine, in detention camps in Cyprus and through world wars. Dr Shlomo Adler's reputation in London as a beloved doctor and trusted medical confidant to Gedolim and Torah leaders as well as to thousands of patients, rested on his complete commitment to care, innovation and halacha. We also hear from his son Dr Yossi Adler - who has continued a 3 generational family legacy - about AI and other issues confronting medicine today   Timestamps: - **0:00:00 – 0:01:13** – Podcast intro, series context (Medicine Part 2), and mention of guests (Rabbi Tatz & Dr. Yossi Adler) - **0:01:13 – 0:02:16** – Introduction of Mary Gordon;

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 35 minutesSynopsis: Tonight (6/4/26), in our Thursday night Machshavah Lab series for women, was not a shiur but an exploration with an agenda (which I explain toward the beginning and won't divulge here). We read the famous aggadah about the four Tannaim who entered Pardes - R. Akiva, Acher, Ben Zoma, and Ben Azzai - along with several other sources that comment directly or indirectly on it. Our goal was not to conduct a comprehensive analysis, but to read through the facts and think aloud about what we were reading. We certainly accomplished that goal. What remains to be done is to fully develop an understanding of the fate met by each of the four in a manner that enlightens us about the correct and incorrect paths to truth.-----מקורות:תלמוד בבלי חגיגה דף יד עמוד ברמב"ם - פירוש המשניות חגיגה ב:ארמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים א:לא-לברשב"ץ - פירוש להגדה של פסח: ארבעה בנים-----The Torah content for this month has been sponsored by Meir Areman, l'zeicher nishmas Zelda bas Ziesel, his grandmother, whose yahrzeit is on the 21st of Sivan.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider supporting my work via Patreon, Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal — links below.

RAANAP: Brandon and Akiva Discuss Jaws Rob Cesternino (@robcesternino) and Akiva Wienerkur (@keev26) need a podcast and every week, Rob and Akiva spin a wheel of listener-submitted podcast ideas, and whatever the wheel lands on is what they podcast about next. This week, Brandon and Akiva talk Jaws. With Rob in LA, Brandon Donlon hosts alongside Akiva Wienerkur for a special deep dive into the classic 1975 film Jaws, joined by Jaws superfan and collector Ryan. Shifting gears from Survivor to the iconic suspense of Amity Island, the trio unpacks what makes Jaws an enduring masterpiece, shares personal stories about childhood collections, and debates whether shark movies still make an impact today. The discussion opens with Brandon introducing Ryan, known for his impressive Jaws memorabilia—from VHS tapes and paper plates to signed collectibles. Ryan reveals how his collection began, the sentimental value behind each item, and even his experiences at Jaws-themed events and conventions. The group shares their own stories of buying, and sometimes regretting, fandom merchandise, comparing Power Rangers pillows to rare Jaws artifacts. Key discussion points include: Ryan guiding listeners through his unique Jaws collection, including napkins, paper plates, laserdiscs, and autographs from Richard Dreyfuss The difference between the Jaws book and film, covering book-exclusive plot twists and why the movie's adaptation stands out A scene-by-scene retelling of Jaws from Brandon's fresh perspective, including discovering famous lines, the impact of classic scares, and missing details when watching on an iPad mini The iconic USS Indianapolis monologue, how real-life locals were cast in minor roles, and stories from Martha's Vineyard Who deserves a sought-after autograph at a Jaws convention—and what it’s like meeting the actors behind even the smallest roles As Jaws approaches its 50th anniversary, Brandon, Avika, and Ryan ponder how the film's legacy compares to modern shark movies, dive into sequel absurdities, and weigh in on whether Jaws still makes viewers avoid the ocean. Which classic line stuck with Brandon and did the first viewing on a small screen dampen its punch? Get fresh perspectives and plenty of movie lore by listening to the full episode!

Today on The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast the guys are supposed to be discussing Party at Mr. Bernard's but they never get to it. It's a Sunday recording and Andy is late so they sort of just riff. They talk about ALF some more, with some thoughts from Kristen Wiig, and dive into the fan made dictionary for the pod. Plus, Seth FINALLY tells us what he thinks about the Upfronts! Akiva drops some spoilers for Robin Hood; Prince of Theives and Andy does eventually show up despite being very ill because he really does care about the podcast (he doesn't). Anyway, we didn't know what to call this episode. Hope it's good!

A Mountain Over Your Head? When You're Feeling Disconnected from Your SpouseIt is one of those strange, intriguing, poignant, and profound Talmudic tales. It includes such wonders as a dialogue with G-d-the-Scribe, instantaneous time travel, and the convergence of humility and self-expression in the evolution of Judaism. When Moses ascended on High (after the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai on Shavuos), he found G-d sitting and tying crowns on the letters of the Torah. Moses said before G-d: Master of the Universe! Who is preventing You from giving the Torah without these additions? What is lacking in the words themselves that You must add crowns as well? G-d said to him: There is a man who is destined to be born after several generations—Akiva the son of Yosef is his name. He is destined to derive from each and every ‘thorn’ of these ‘crowns’ mounds upon mounds of halachos (laws). It is for his sake that the crowns must be added to the letters of the Torah. Moses said before G-d: Master of the Universe! Show him to me. G-d said to him: Turn around. Suddenly, in a classic case of “back to the future,” Moses finds himself 1600 years ahead of his day. He went and sat at the end of the eighth row in Rabbi Akiva’s study hall. Rabbi Akiva is teaching Torah to his disciples, but Moses does not understand what they are saying. Moses’ strength waned; his energy departed from him. He was demoralized. When Rabbi Akiva arrived at the discussion of a particular exposition, his students asked him: Master! From where do you derive this? Rabbi Akiva said to them: It is a halacha, a law, transmitted to Moses from Sinai. When Moses heard this, his mind was put at ease. The entire story seems absurd. For starters, how could Moses not comprehend the lecture of Rabbi Akiva? Moses studied on Mt. Sinai for forty days at the “feet” of the best teacher of all time, G-d Himself. What is even stranger is Moses’ response. When he fails to understand, his strength wanes; his energy is deflated. But then, when Reb Akiva quotes him, his mind is put at ease… Was Moshe’s ego first shattered by his lack of understanding and then placated by hearing his name quoted? What happened to the legendary humility of Moses? It was at the Farbrengen of Shabbos Parshas Shemini, 26 Nissan, 5726, April 16, 1966, when the Lubavitcher Rebbe offered a most powerful and extraordinary explanation of this Talmudic narrative. The sermon takes on a fascinating journey through the Mesorah of Judaism, from master to student. We enter with Moses into the study hall of Reb Akiva, and we discover the great revolutionary composing unsurpassed symphonies of Torah wisdom.

Let's be honest, this episode should have been called ""Shop Talk"" because it's 70% theater rakes, 20% filmmaking and maybe 10% We Like Sportz. I guess we could have called it We Like Shop Talkz. Regardless, Jorm and Akiva are technically talking (as opposed to talking technically) about We Like Sportz from 2008 and featured on Incredibad. The second installment of the ""Just Two Guyz"" franchise we see Guy #1 and Guy #2 sing about their obsession with sports and definitely not their daddy issues. They get some great insight from Daniel Scheinert (of the Daniels who isn't spoiling their next movie, a slow boil court room drama) on theater rakes, and Chester Tam, and Jonah Hill, both of who were on site in Encino when this ""Mona Lisa"" was created. Plus a bonus dis track from Liz! Enjoy the episode and definitely let us know what you think about IMAX.

Every year on Shavuot, many Jews have the custom of reading the book of Ruth. The holiday commemorates the giving of the Torah at Sinai—the moment when the Jewish people gathered at the foot of the mountain and declared, "we will do and we will listen." The rabbis paired Sinai with Ruth for a reason. Sinai is the national conversion story, in which the whole people, swept up in thunder and fire, accept the covenant. Ruth is a more intimate counterpart: a tale of one woman, at the lowest possible moment, with every worldly reason to return to the clan of her birth, who decides instead to join the same covenant. "Your people shall be my people," she says to Naomi, "and your God shall be my God." Ruth was not drawn toward the Jewish people at their moment of triumph but in her and her chosen family's hour of despair. That tension, between being drawn to Judaism and being pushed toward it, between choosing a people and being chosen, is at the heart of today's conversation with the Daily Wire reporter and video journalist Kassy Akiva, who converted to Judaism in April 2023. In an essay in the October 2024 issue of Commentary—written while she was a Tikvah Krauthammer fellow—Akiva reflected on the long road that brought her to Judaism: the hate mail, the death threats, the stalker who went to federal prison, the years of traveling to Israel before she was Jewish, the beit din, the seminary in Jerusalem, the mikveh. The essay, titled "Anti-Semitism Helped Make Me a Jew," was composed in the immediate aftermath of October 7, not long after a visit to the Gaza border. The intensity of that moment was bound up with her conversion. We are now a few years further on. The vicious anti-Israel activism that followed in the wake of Hamas's attack on southern Israel has not dissappeared, but it has, for many, settled into something less acute. In that context, Mosaic's editor Jonathan Siliver has invited Akiva to return to that essay and its argument, and to discuss whether anti-Semitism was the engine of her Jewish life or merely the road sign that pointed her toward it, what ordinary Jewish life looks like now that the adrenaline of that first year has either deepened or faded, and what she makes of the convert's particular vantage point—as someone who, only a few months into being a Jew, was asked by people who had been Jewish their whole lives how to handle the anti-Semitism she had already been forced to learn how to carry.  This week's episode of the Tikvah Podcast is generously sponsored by Dr. Michael Schmerin and family.

Lag ba'Omer | What's Behind the Celebration? by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom The celebration of Lag ba'Omer is as much of a mystery as the prevailing practices in the period that leads up to it. We examine the two popular explanations - the cessation of the death of R. Akiva's students and the "Yahrzeit" of R. Shim'on bar Yochai - and demonstrate that neither explanation is reasonable, period-documented or satisfactory. Looking into the earliest source where the date of 18 Iyar appears, we discover a surprising (possible) explanation which puts Lag ba'Omer into a new light. Source sheet >>

The Untold Story of Global Terrorism: Are You the Bow or the Arrow?This powerful and life-changing women's Lag Baomer class, on why we shoot arrows on Lag Baomer, was presented on Tuesday, Lag Baomer, 5786, May 5, 2026. It is a most perplexing and fascinating story—Hagar and Yishmael—and it is read every Rosh Hashanah. Did you notice a very strange expression? As she walks away from her thirsty child, not to be with him at his moment of distress and not see his death, the Torah says, she sits down at a distance, “a bowshot away.” It is the only time such an expression is used in Tanach. What is it supposed to mean and symbolize? It could have just said, “she sat at a far distance”?! And then a few verses later, we come back to the bow. Yishmael, her son, becomes an archer, “the master of the bow.” What’s the significance of this detail? He may have also taken on pickleball or yoga. Why is this important? There is a profound message here, and it will teach you about our world today more than any website, newspaper, or book in the world. It will also teach us our mission today during turbulent times. There are three ways to respond to tension, pressure, and anxiety. The Hagar away: You look away, or you run away. The Yishmael way: You become the master of tension, making the world panic as you smile. Today we want to discover a third way. This is the Jewish way, and it’s the Jewish secret. We are the “masters of the arrow.” The secret of the arrow is: The deeper the tension, the more you apply the pressure, the further it strikes, with more impact and intensity. We are the Divine arrows of history. The more tension we experience, our “arrows,” our force and light, soar and reach the greatest of distances with the deepest might and power. The story of Jacob, David, Joseph, Moses, and Esther—captures the powerful secret of Jewish history. Reb Akiva taught us how to take the bow of Yishmael and transform it into transformative growth, becoming G-d's arrows to transform the world from darkness to light, from exile to redemption.View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9917

In this conversation, Akiva shares what Torah actually teaches about animal welfare, environmental stewardship, and our responsibility to all living beings. We explore the Kabbalistic understanding of food and spiritual elevation, why so many rabbis who are vegetarian or vegan keep it to themselves, and what conscious eating has to do with the soul.We also talk about the relationship between inner work and outer activism, the power of silence — in the desert, at the Shabbat table, and in meditation — and the profound Jewish teaching that the sin of Adam and Eve wasn't what they ate, but how they ate.Whether you're Jewish or not, vegan or not, this episode will change the way you think about what you put on your plate — and why it matters.

It's 4 AM and Akiva is celebrating his Huskies' dramatic return to the Final Four. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As I was speaking to different people about the various issues they were going through, it struck me that all of them, deep down, were suffering from the same kind of pain. One person was struggling with shidduchim, another was having difficulty finding a job, another was dealing with family issues, and the list goes on. Yet beneath all these different situations, there was one common thread — the pain of feeling rejected or excluded. The hurt of feeling unwanted was just as painful as not being married or not having an income. In fact, studies have shown that the same regions of the brain that become active when a person experiences physical pain also become active when someone experiences social rejection. Even a brief moment of rejection can sting — for example, when a phone call is declined or when someone passes by without acknowledging us. All the more so when friends gather and one person is not invited, when teams are formed and one individual is left out, or when a party is planned and someone is not included on the guest list. All of these experiences can cause deep emotional pain. The Gemara tells us that Rachel, the daughter of Kalba Savua, wanted to marry Akiva the shepherd because she recognized his great qualities, even though at that time he was unlearned. Tosafot ask that there is another Gemara in which Rabbi Akiva says about himself that before he became learned, he wanted to bite Torah scholars like a donkey bites — which seems to indicate that he did not have good character. Rabbeinu Tam answers that in truth he did possess good character, but he became angry at the Torah scholars because he felt that, since he was an am ha'aretz, they were distancing themselves from him. In other words, he felt rejected by them. In general, when a person feels rejected, it causes him pain, and naturally a person tends to dislike someone who causes him pain. People have a deep need to feel wanted, accepted, and included, and when that need is not fulfilled, it creates real suffering. How is a person supposed to deal with this pain? Fortunately, we know that every amount of pain a person experiences is precisely calculated and given by Hashem for his benefit. The Chovot HaLevavot teaches us that people are not truly capable of hurting us; they are merely messengers of Hashem. When a person experiences rejection, he should not think that there is something inherently wrong with him. Rather, he should believe that Hashem determined that he needed to be excluded at that moment for his own good. When someone is rejected in shidduchim, it is because those individuals are not the ones Hashem intended for him or her. When someone is turned down for a job, it is because Hashem knows that position is not good for him. It is true that a person does not necessarily need to experience rejection in order to get married or find employment, but if he does go through it, it is because that experience is necessary for his growth and benefit. The Reshit Chochmah writes that when it comes to kaparah, emotional pain can accomplish even more than physical pain, and if a person is embarrassed, it can erase countless sins. We do not fully understand all the benefits of suffering, especially emotional suffering, but when we trust that Hashem knows what is best for us, it becomes easier to bear. Moreover, when a person feels rejected, instead of remaining stuck in the pain, he should channel those feelings into heartfelt tefillah to Hashem. Leah Imenu felt tremendous pain when Yaakov chose Rachel over her. What did she do with that pain? She turned to Hashem and cried out for children and blessing. As a result, she merited to have six of the twelve shevatim. She became the mother of the bechor, the mother of the kohanim and levi'im, the mother of the kings, and the mother of Mashiach Tzidkeinu. Feeling excluded or rejected may be very painful, but we must remember that it is always for our ultimate good, and if we respond correctly, we can gain immeasurably from it.

It's still time for another BIG and BRILLIANT adventure into the world of science on this week’s Science Quest! In Science in the News, NASA is rethinking its plans for landing astronauts on the Moon, scientists believe the history of writing might be thousands of years older than we once thought, and Frederick Wilkinson from Queen Mary University of London explains why a recent boom in sea turtle numbers might not be quite as good news as it sounds. It’s time for your questions too. Akiva wants to know why your tummy gets smaller when you breathe in, and John Bridges from Leicester University answers Nicolas' question: How are asteroids made? Dangerous Dan introduces us to something a little different this week: the super-Earth exoplanet TOI-1452b, a strange and fascinating world far beyond our Solar System. Then in Battle of the Sciences, Mark Grabowski from Liverpool John Moores University steps into the ring to make the case for palaeoanthropology, the science that studies ancient humans and our evolutionary ancestors. Plus, Harry and Terry stumble across the asteroid belt in this week’s Space Cadets adventure as they continue their accidental journey through space. What do we learn about? How asteroids form in space Why NASA is changing its plans for Moon missions Why the history of writing might be older than we thought Why a sea turtle population boom may not be entirely good news What happens to your body when you breathe in The strange super-Earth exoplanet TOI-1452b How scientists study ancient humans and our ancestors All that and more on this week’s Science Quest!Join Fun Kids Podcasts+: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
