In this episode of the Tradition Podcast we update our listeners on some happenings over on our website, TraditionOnline.org. Check out the Tradition Summer Book Endorsements: Our yearly tradition of turning to our esteemed editorial board for endorsements for summer reading. Some may be amused to think of a seaside read with the 29 tomes our team chose, but that's what you get from TRADITION's thought leaders: sometimes surprising suggestions, but always reading worthy of your attention. Readers of TraditionOnline have been following our pair of biweekly columns which appear on Thursdays. We catch up with those authors to summarize what's been accomplished online and to look ahead. TRADITION's associate editor, Chaim Strauchler, the Rabbi of Rinat in Teaneck, has been offering us “Tradition Questions” prodding us to think about an array of issues facing religious life. That column is now going off on hiatus and will be replaced in the Fall with the return of his very popular “The Best” series – we spoke with Chaim about the answers and insights he found in the course of “Tradition Questions.” Moshe Kurtz, has presented 30 installments in his “Unpacking the Iggerot” series, exploring the background and reception history of R. Moshe Feinstein's most consequential response in the Iggerot Moshe. It's a fascinating guided reading of those teshuvot. We catch up with Moshe to survey what's been accomplished in that series as it goes off on summer break while he settles into his new position as the rabbi of Cong. Sons of Israel in Allentown, PA. Fear not – he'll return to TraditionOnline with new essays in the Fall. We're also glad to let you know that Yitzchak Blau, no stranger to our readers, will be filling in over the Summer with an encore series of his “Alt+Shift” column—that's the keyboard shortcut allowing us quick transition between input languages on our keyboards. For many readers of TRADITION that's the move from Hebrew to English (and back again). The series will appear every Thursday until September, offering an insider's look into trends, ideas, and writings in the Israeli Religious Zionist world and helping readers from the Anglo-sphere gain insight into worthwhile material available only in Hebrew.The post Catching Up with TraditionOnline first appeared on Tradition Online.

Jim Tews has spent more than half his life on stage making people laugh. From being inspired by Dave Attell's “Insomniac” to his first days doing comedy in a strip mall sports bar, Jim knew he had to do it to keep from losing his mind. He and Dan chat about the level of judgment comedians are under and how it would horrify a “normal person,” bigger markets equal higher stakes, and the hell that college gigs can be, especially when pizza is the bigger draw.Jim TewsJim Tews is a comedian, writer, and animator known for his skewed observational humor and creative versatility. Born and raised in Allentown, Pennsylvania, he began his stand-up career while serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, performing in Cleveland, Ohio. After completing his enlistment, he studied film at Cleveland State University and continued honing his comedic voice on stage and online.In 2011, he moved to New York City to pursue comedy full-time. He gained national attention with his stand-up television debut on NBC's Last Comic Standing and has since appeared on FX, NBC, SeeSo, and TBS.

Festival President Rita Lippman tells us what's planned for this year's event.
It's no surprise that the Mediterranean diet was ranked as the best overall diet by U.S. News & World Report for the eighth year in a row. This style of eating focuses more on fueling your body with the right foods and enjoying healthy meals with others rather than following a restrictive plan. Listen to the latest episode of The Healthiest You podcast, where we talk about the Mediterranean diet with dietitian Alexa Roseberry with Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN), part of Jefferson Health. Can following the Mediterranean diet make you live longer? What if you don't like fish and you aren't a fan of vegetables? How can you make healthier choices going out to eat? Which one is better – the Mediterranean diet or the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet? Are there ways to stop the post-lunch slump? We answer these questions and more on The Healthiest You podcast this month.Chapters: · 0:01 - Intro · 1:13 - About the Mediterranean diet · 3:54 - Mediterranean diet pyramid · 6:41 - Meals with others · 10:05 - If you don't like fish or vegetables · 12:01 - Healthy fats · 17:14 - Meal ideas · 18:49 - Snack ideas · 21:12 - Dessert ideas · 24:41 - Budget and meal planning tips · 30:48 - Live longer on the Mediterranean diet · 34:54 - Daily fiber intake · 35:32 - Mediterranean diet and PCOS · 36:42 - DASH diet vs. Mediterranean diet · 38:52 - High-protein, low-carb diet · 41:26 - Nutrition tips if you've had a colectomy and have an ileostomy · 44:03 - Gaining strength back after surgery · 47:45 - Signs you're not eating enough protein · 49:44 - How to make healthier choices at restaurants · 52:38 - Stop the post-lunch slump · 54:30 - Nutrition advice

In this episode, I'm joined by a true innovator in the Jiu Jitsu world—Nelson Puentes, the co-founder of Inverted Gear and a third-degree black belt who has spent years traveling the globe, training, teaching, and building community.Nelson and his wife, Hillary, launched Inverted Gear in 2012 with a mission to create high-quality Jiu Jitsu gear that reflected both personality and performance. What started as a small brand with a sleepy panda logo has since become one of the most popular companies in the BJJ scene, known for its thoughtful design, ethical manufacturing, and strong connection to the Jiu Jitsu lifestyle.But Nelson's journey goes far beyond the GI. He's also the head instructor at Inverted Gear Academy in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where he's built a culture rooted in play, accessibility, and deep conceptual learning.In this conversation, Nelson and I explore his early days in Jiu Jitsu, his philosophy on teaching, how traveling shaped his approach to training, his love of German food, and the challenges and lessons that came with creating businesses from the ground up.Links:https://www.invertedgearacademy.com/https://www.invertedgear.com/https://www.instagram.com/invertedgearnelson/Salt Electrolytes use code FWB for 15% off. https://saltelectrolytes.com/?fwb Become a VIP member for only .99 a month, get ad-free, uncensored, early episodes https://is.gd/GytgXMInstagram @foreverwhitebeltshow.Go buy your Forever White Belt swag at teespring.com/forever-white-belt.Linktree https://linktr.ee/foreverwhitebelt#brazilianjiujitsu #jiujitsu #grappling #bjj #bjjglobetrotters

We're continuing our breakdowns of potential Philadelphia Flyers draft picks at #6, with a look today at Porter Martone.If Martone falls to the Flyers, would it make sense for Danny Briere to select the winger over a much-needed center?Plus, more on Ian Laperrière and the change at the helm behind the bench in Allentown.
First: Donald Trump is aggressively using the power of the pardon to let loyalists off the hook, especially conservatives he claims - baselessly - were pursued by the Biden Justice Department for political reasons. The latest example: a reality TV couple convicted in a $30 million fraud scheme. Plus: Trump is clearly getting fed up with Vladimir Putin's seeming unwillingness to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. But will the president actually punish Russia? And: John King talks with Trump supporters in Allentown, Pennsylvania to get their take on the president's trade war. Do these voters really think the president will bring manufacturing back as he's promising? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Despite these challenging conditions, regional markets are telling dramatically different stories that savvy investors need to understand.Washington DC has experienced a stunning 25% surge in active listings—the highest since 2015—largely driven by federal workforce reductions. Meanwhile, Florida's once-booming market has cooled significantly, with median prices dropping 1.7% year-over-year, the steepest decline in over a decade. In California, San Diego's shift toward a buyer's market is evident with more than half of homes selling below asking price. These regional variations highlight the increasingly localized nature of real estate opportunities.Perhaps most telling is that nearly 7% of homes nationwide have seen price drops—the highest percentage on record—while 44.4% of recent sales include substantial seller concessions. The market is adapting, creating both challenges and opportunities for different players. Whether you're looking to buy, sell, or invest, understanding these shifting dynamics is essential for making informed decisions. Ready to deepen your real estate expertise?

In this episode, the writer Garielle Lutz and host George Salis discuss turning the quotidian into art, the epistolary work of writers, the limits of vocabulary and the mispronunciation of words, how literary voices are extinguished in academic institutions, the lack of a serious readership, her fascination with individual sentences, her sense of bodily abstraction and how it has affected her life and writing, her late-life autism diagnosis, how she's a “freak-magnetic” in public, her ostensible Nobel Prize consideration, the work of Paul Schrader and other films, her troubled relationship with her mother, and much more.Garielle Lutz was born in Allentown, PA in 1955. Her most recent book is the nonfiction collection Backwardness (SF/LD). Her most recent short story collection is Worsted (now in its second printing from Calamari Archive). Previous books include The Gotham Grammarian (Calamari Archive) and The Complete Gary Lutz (Tyrant Books).

This week on Kliq This, Kevin Nash returns from the road with stories you won't want to miss — including a run-in with the viral sensation Angry Grandma and a peek behind the curtain at Astro Comic-Con. What happens when you mix a wrestling legend, some Juggalos, and a weekend in Ypsilanti? Let's just say… it gets colorful. With WrestleMania right around the corner, Kev breaks down his upcoming trip to Las Vegas: WrestleCon, Hall of Fame, and a few private signings that might just make some headlines. But don't expect him in the legends box — and don't ask him to pretend he enjoys Vegas crowds. This is Big Sexy unfiltered, and he's got some thoughts. Of course, we can't talk Mania season without addressing the elephant in the ring: the assassination of John Cena. Is WWE mishandling their biggest crossover star? Did they just bury a potential dream match? Kevin has a strong take — and it might not be what you expect. From Bron Breakker spears to whether Cody Rhodes is actually a heel in disguise, this episode digs into WWE's hottest storylines — but through the lens only Nash can provide. We're also talking MyRise in WWE 2K25, what makes a good promo, and why scripted segments are slowly sucking the soul out of wrestling. And if you're wondering what happens when Nash sees someone so stunning he forgets his Red Stripe? Or why he still cringes at modern promos delivered like monologues at a community theater audition? You'll want to hear every word. Kliq This drops every Monday — don't be late to the party.

(00:57) Step through the door of Dagny's Eatery in Carnegie and you'll quickly discover it's not just another sandwich shop. It's an extension of owner Dagny Como herself, who creates an atmosphere so welcoming you might forget you're not actually sitting in her home kitchen.Located on East Main Street, this cozy spot represents a brave pandemic-era pivot from banking to food entrepreneurship. Running a one-woman operation means Dagny handles everything—taking orders, preparing food, serving customers, and cleaning up—all while maintaining genuine conversations with everyone who walks through her door. "It's almost like you're performing," she explains, but this performance comes naturally as she multitasks with intuitive ease.(21:22) What makes the food special isn't complexity but attention to detail. From "The Ray" sandwich with its game-changing pepperoncini relish to the legendary "Daci Cake" (think Hostess cake "on steroids"), everything is made from scratch with care. Many items carry deep personal significance, like sandwiches named for her grandparents whose photos hang in the shop alongside family heirlooms that bring Dagny joy as she works.Beyond the daily menu of breakfast items, hot sandwiches, and made-from-scratch sweets, Dagny brings out her Blackstone grill during Carnegie's community events to serve smash burgers, hotdogs, and cheesesteaks. These gatherings represent everything she loves about her adopted neighborhood—its walkability, diverse businesses, and tight-knit support system. Whether you're a regular whose order she knows by heart or a first-time visitor, Dagny's passion for feeding people well shines through in every bite. (34:07) Later in the show, do you have that true favorite restaurant? Autumn Pawelec shares her love for Alla Famiglia in Allentown. Plus Chef Fernando Canales of the Fairmont Pittsburgh shares a favorite at-home dish that you can do as well. Hope you have a big appetite!Support the showLiked the episode? We'd love a coffee!

Get More LVWITHLOVE Content Guests: Kostas Hatalis Ph.D – Co-Founder, Alexander Labs; Developer of GoCharlie Paul Gosselin – Co-Founder, Alexander Labs In this episode of the Lehigh Valley with Love Podcast, host George Wacker sits down with Paul Gosselin and Kostas Hatalis of Alexander Labs, an AI incubator based in Allentown, Pennsylvania, that's putting the Lehigh Valley back on the innovation map. You'll hear how this growing team is not only building on-premise AI systems and custom large language models, but doing it all from the region that produced the world's first commercial transistors — long before the rise of Silicon Valley. From community collaboration and tech talent to data privacy and enterprise-level solutions, Alexander Labs is working to make AI accessible, secure, and proudly local. To learn more or get in touch, visit: https://alexanderlabs.ai Watch Episode https://youtu.be/onsjG6-KPBQ www.lvwithlove.com Thank you to our Partners! WDIY Lehigh Valley Health Network Wind Creek Event Center Michael Bernadyn of RE/MAX Real Estate Molly’s Irish Grille & Sports Pub Banko Beverage Company Episode Recap Alexander Labs and the Future of AI in the Lehigh Valley “We built the first transistor here.” Kostas Hatalis opens with a bold statement: the Lehigh Valley isn't just a place with warehouses — it was the original Silicon Valley. The region manufactured the world's first commercial transistors in the 1940s, and yet few in tech today give it credit. That legacy is exactly what inspired Alexander Labs, an AI incubator based in Allentown that's trying to bring innovation back home. From Empty Space to AI Lab Paul Gosselin, co-founder of Alexander Labs, walks us through how the project started — with an empty room, a few whiteboards, and a wild idea. Paul had been running software companies when he met Kostas, a Lehigh Ph.D. who had already built his own large language model. They talked, they brainstormed, and soon they realized: “We need to create a lab. One that brings the community in and builds something real.” That idea became Alexander Labs — an incubator not just for AI startups, but for a smarter, more connected Lehigh Valley tech ecosystem. Meet GoCharlie: AI Built in Allentown One of Alexander Labs’ most exciting projects is GoCharlie, a next-generation AI assistant that can write, analyze, and support business operations. But what makes it special isn't just what it does — it's where and how it was built. GoCharlie's models are developed right in Allentown using an approach Kostas calls “small language models.” Instead of billion-dollar infrastructure, these models run on a single GPU or CPU, making them affordable, fast, and customizable for real businesses. In a world where companies send sensitive data into massive black-box systems like ChatGPT, GoCharlie offers something better: AI you can understand, control, and host locally. On-Prem AI and the Power of Local Alexander Labs is also building its own on-prem data center — allowing businesses to plug in directly and run GoCharlie inside their own walls. Paul calls it GoPrem — and it's already helping companies avoid relying on Silicon Valley giants for AI tools. “We're really focused on enterprise,” he says, “but it's more than that — we're helping companies get their data in order, whether structured or unstructured, so they can actually use AI meaningfully.” Cost, Control, and Trust Throughout the conversation, privacy and autonomy come up again and again. Alexander Labs isn't just building AI — they're building trust. Kostas explains how big tech companies are scraping public data to train their models, while businesses are becoming increasingly wary of handing over proprietary information. That's why localized, on-premise AI is such a key differentiator. “You can't just trust Microsoft or Google with everything,” Paul says. “We can offer the same kind of power — but right here in the Valley, with local partnerships and control.” Making the Lehigh Valley a New Kind of Tech Hub Despite the region's rich tech history, the Lehigh Valley hasn't been part of the AI conversation — until now. Alexander Labs is trying to change that. With support from Ben Franklin Technology Partners and other local initiatives, they're helping seed the next wave of innovation. “We're trying to build culture here,” Paul says. “It's not easy. But if we can keep talented students and young founders in the Valley, we can build something real.” What's Next? Looking ahead, the conversation shifts to the future of AI. Kostas explains that the next wave isn't just smarter chatbots — it's AI agents: autonomous systems that can do real work across tools like Slack, Zoom, and WordPress. “If it's a task that can be done remotely, AI is coming for it,” he says. But for Alexander Labs, the goal isn't replacing people — it's empowering them. By creating scalable, local-first AI, they're making sure small businesses can keep up — and even outpace the giants. Final Takeaway This episode isn't just about AI — it's about ownership. It's about building technology that serves local communities, respects data privacy, and creates opportunity where it's needed most. Alexander Labs is betting that the next big thing in tech doesn't have to come from California — it can start in Allentown. And if they're right, the Lehigh Valley may just become the first Silicon Valley all over again.

In my ongoing exploration of the history of homophobia in life and the law, I've been researching the trends, and I do mean trends, of attacks fueled by the targeting of mostly gay men. From the late 1950s through the 1970s in the United States, "Rolling a Queer" became such an epidemic that both Democrats and Republicans came together to introduce legislation that would create some minor protections for gays and lesbians. It failed, of course, and the attacks continued at pace. This crime wave helps to explain why the "Homosexual Panic Defense" began to be used in the 1960s in courtrooms across the country. A young man defending himself from the advances of a predatory homosexual is much more defendable than a defendant targeting gay men for fun and profit. I have many more of these stories from the 1950s through the 1970s to share. Please subscribe. In this week's episode: Sam Nordquist left home to visit his online girlfriend. When his mother and other family members couldn't get ahold of him, they begged authorities to help him, but sadly, help came too late. In September 2024, Zsolt Zsolyomi disabled his leg monitor and disappeared onto the north Florida Island of Miami Beach and Little Havana using an alias to court, rob, batter, and then murder two older men with disabilities. Would the police stop him before he could kill again? In 1973, the Long Beach murder of a World War II veteran and beloved school teacher, Hollis Voas, exposed the escalating cycle of rolling a queer that spiked during the 1960s and 1970s in the U.S. Law enforcement quickly tracked down the suspects Don James Myers and Kenneth Evans, after discovering the victim tied to his blood-soaked bedroom. Thirty-nine pieces of evidence, a stolen Cadillac, and a childhood friend would lead police to the perpetrators a few hours after the murder. I saw this 1973 news item so quietly tucked away in a newspaper that I knew I had to share his story. Thanks to one of Mr. Voas' relatives for sharing a picture of him for the YouTube coverage. The 1953 murder of bartender Walter Thalen by a drifter who wandered into the bar where Thalen worked at the end of a night of drinking would have a devasting impact far and wide. In March of 2025, Buffalo, New York, Allentown was rocked by the double murder of two beloved men. Mickey Harmon and Jordan Celotto contributed to their community in art and activism, and they were snatched away senselessly and violently. 49, California Fire Captain Rebecca Marodi and 53, Yolanda Olejniczak-Marodi, began dating in 2018, marrying in 2022. By February 2025, Marodi was ready to end what friends called a controlling and isolating marriage, but she would never get the chance. This wasn't the first time Yolanda Olejniczak-Marodi was involved in a murder. Reports of intimate partner violence among lesbians are the most underreported.
