Sham and Crith take another friendship test created by the inquisitive Wah... Jack Tinder. Who will be the better friend or biggest frienemy this time?

Guest host Misty Winston, joined by The Daily Ruckus host Adam Clark, discusses a significant alibi claim in the Charlie Kirk assassination case, where employees at Cowboys Smokehouse in Panguitch, Utah, say Tyler Robinson was at their restaurant around 9–10 PM on the night of the shooting—over three hours away from the crime scene. The hosts highlight the troubling fact that neither the prosecution nor Robinson's own defense team has contacted the restaurant or its staff to verify this information, despite multiple eyewitnesses, credit card receipts, and positive IDs.  The two argue that this failure to investigate a potential alibi constitutes negligence or even malpractice, as it could establish reasonable doubt about Robinson's presence at the scene. They conclude that the defense's inaction raises serious questions about whether Robinson is receiving adequate representation or if there are deeper compromises at play. Plus segments on the unbelievable bloodlust of the late Lindsay Graham and Trump's desperate attempts to justify ongoing war with Iran. Also featuring Kyle Anzalone!

It ended how it began, with Democrats proving an airtight case that showed Donald Trump's absolute guilt but the GOP refusing to acknowledge the facts in the case. They knew Trump was guilty and hid behind arcane constitutional arguments to let themselves off the hook with MAGA voters. Later Michael speaks with “All Gas No Brakes” creator Andrew Callaghan about conspiracy, the Proud Boys and how half this country brainwashed itself into becoming lunatic MAGA supporters.For cool Mea Culpa gear, check out www.meaculpapodcast.com/merchTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policyLearn more about your ad choices.

It's been a few weeks but Sham held the podcast hostage.Fortunately we have resolved the issue so you can enjoy this two in one podcastravaganza.

Critics have argued that the congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein being led by House Oversight Chairman James Comer and several Republican members of the committee has increasingly appeared shaped by political considerations rather than a consistent effort to uncover the full truth. According to these criticisms, the committee's public messaging and investigative priorities often emphasize defending the Trump administration from scrutiny while directing attention toward other political targets. This approach, critics say, risks narrowing the scope of the inquiry and creates the perception that protecting political allies is being treated as a higher priority than pursuing a fully independent examination of Epstein's network, the institutional failures that allowed it to operate, and the government's handling of the case over multiple administrations.The concern expressed by those critics is that an investigation driven by partisan calculations could undermine public confidence in the search for accountability. They argue that the Epstein scandal involves systemic failures across law enforcement, politics, finance, and elite institutions over many years, and that any credible investigation must be willing to examine uncomfortable facts regardless of which political figures may be implicated. By appearing to shield one administration while aggressively pursuing other narratives, the committee risks reinforcing the belief that congressional oversight has become another arena for political messaging rather than a neutral effort to establish a complete record of what happened and why so many warning signs surrounding Epstein were ignored.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

We read in Parashat Pinhas of the census taken of Beneh Yisrael at the end of their forty-year sojourn in the wilderness. The Torah lists the families of the various tribes, and in listing the families of Reuben, the Torah explains that two families – those of the brothers Datan and Abiram – were not counted, because they perished after joining Korah's revolt against Moshe Rabbenu. In this context, the Torah mentions that "U'bneh Korah Lo Metu" – Korah's sons did not die together with their father and the other rebels. Rashi, citing the Gemara (Megilla 14a), explains that Korah's sons initially participated in the uprising, but they then had thoughts of Teshuba (repentance), on account of which "Nitbaser Lahem Makom Gabo'ah Be'gehinom Ve'yashebu Sham" – " An elevated place in Gehinam was set apart for them, and they remained there." Rashi's concluding remarks – "and they remained there" – suggest that Korah's sons stayed in that "elevated place in Gehinam" for all time, and this is, indeed, the view taken by several later commentators. This is also the implication of the Midrash cited by Tosafot in Masechet Kiddushin (31b). The conventional understanding, however, is that Korah's sons remained in the underworld for a period of time and were ultimately rescued, whereupon they rejoined Beneh Yisrael. (This is perhaps evidenced by the fact that Korah's sons had descendants who sang in the Bet Ha'mikdash.) Regardless, the Lubavitcher Rebbe (Rav Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, 1902-1994) draws our attention to an important – but often overlooked – word in this passage in Rashi's commentary. Rashi did not say simply that Korah's sons participated in their father's uprising against Moshe. Rather, he writes that Korah's sons were part of this undertaking "Tehila" – right at the outset. They were among the initiators. They didn't just "go along" with the idea – they were the ones who conceived it! The Rebbe further notes Rashi's comment that during the revolt, "Hirharu Teshuba Be'libam" – Korah's sons had thoughts of repentance in their hearts. It seems clear from Rashi's formulation that Korah's sons did not repent entirely – they merely entertained thoughts of Teshuba. And yet, despite the fact that they were the instigators of this evil uprising, even their thoughts of Teshuba sufficed to save them from death. The Rebbe added that this shows us the great power of even incomplete repentance, and of even "Hirhureh Teshuba" – genuine thoughts and feelings of repentance. Even when a Jew does not change his behavior fully the way he should, but he merely thinks and reflects on how he needs to improve – these thoughts are precious and beloved by G-d. The Rebbe explained on this basis why, at one of the holiest moments of the year, as we prepare to sound the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah, we read the 47 th chapter of Tehillim, which was composed by Korah's sons – "La'menase'ah Li'bneh Korah Mizmor." Unlike Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah is not a time for confessing and begging G-d for forgiveness. However, during the sounding of the Shofar, we are to think "Hirhureh Teshuba," thoughts of repentance. This is a time to think seriously and somberly about our mistakes and shortcomings during the previous year, and how we wish to improve during the coming year. We therefore recite this chapter composed by Korah's sons – who devised a wicked plot to challenge Moshe Rabbenu, and yet were spared punishment because of their "Hihureh Teshuba." We are reminded of the great power of Teshuba thoughts, of the value of our genuine feelings of regret and desire to improve. Back in Parashat Korah, we read that when the ground opened to devour the leaders of the revolt and their families, the rest of the nation "Nasu Le'kolam" (16:34) – literally, "ran to their voices." This seems to mean that the people ran toward the opening in the ground where the rebels were screaming in horror, which would be very difficult to understand. Rashi avoids this problem by interpreting these words to mean that the people ran "on account of their voices," because of the shrieks that they heard. In light of what we have seen, however, there might be another understanding. After Korah's sons were saved, Beneh Yisrael ran to hear their voices, to hear them sing praise to Hashem, in order to receive inspiration from them. Korah's sons became a powerful source of motivation for all Beneh Yisrael – and for us – by showing the value of even incomplete Teshuba, how every step forward is significant and cherished by the Almighty. Indeed, Rav Moshe Wolfson (1925-2024) noted that the letters that spell the word "Le'kolam" (Lamed, Kof, Lamed, Mem) are the first letters of the words "La'menase'ah Li'bneh Korah Mizmor." Beneh Yisrael rushed to hear the beautiful praises sung by Korah's sons to be inspired and driven to work toward improvement, one small step at a time. The Rebbe cited in this context the Rambam's famous comment that "En Beneh Yisrael Nig'alin Ela Bi'Tshuba" – the redemption depends upon the Jewish People's repentance (Hilchot Teshuba 7:5). Many people wondered how this will happen. When we look at our nation today, how the majority of Jews are so distant from observance, and how even generally observant Jews face so many religious challenges which they frequently fail to withstand, how can we ever be deserving of redemption? Korah's sons provide us with the answer. They show us that even incomplete Teshuba is valuable, as long as it is sincere. Every genuine thought, feeling and action in the direction of Teshuba, every time a Jew reflects on his inadequacies and regrets his deficiencies, he has achieved something precious. Every small step toward repentance will, hopefully, lead to another, such that we can, indeed, become worthy of our final redemption, speedily and in our time, Amen.

David Rothkopf and Joanna Coles take apart Donald Trump's bizarre White House UFC spectacle, his heavily hyped “deal” with Iran, and what they argue is a presidency increasingly defined by spectacle and self-preservation. From accusations of turning the South Lawn into a political carnival, to a blistering debate over whether Trump's Iran agreement is diplomacy or surrender, the pair connect the dots between foreign policy, political theater, and the looming battles that could define the next phase of his presidency. They also dive into JD Vance's carefully polished media management, the ambitions driving MAGA's rising stars, and the deeper cultural and moral questions they believe are shaping America's future. By the end, what begins as a conversation about a birthday celebration becomes a far-reaching examination of power, loyalty, corruption, and the forces transforming Washington from the inside out.

Now that Donald Trump has reached a ceasefire with Iran, the scrutiny of it has been brutal, making it obvious that he got nothing of significance. In a rambling monologue to reporters, Trump excoriated Barack Obama's Iran deal for making billions in funding available to the Iranians. But this is actually a self-own: Trump's own arrangement uses a very similar mechanism, opening up funds as an incentive to get Iran to agree to constraints on its nuclear program later. As Tom Nichols, a staff writer at The Atlantic, says on today's episode, Trump is “doing it exactly the way Obama did it.” And that's after Trump also waged a needless war that cost us tens of billions of dollars, depleted our stockpiles, killed some Americans and many Iranians, strained our alliances, and wrecked the global economy. Nichols discusses his new piece arguing that the U.S. capitulated to Iran, explains how Trump left us worse off than before, and walks us through what will happen next, with Trump in a weakened state.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Many Australian businesses are allegedly registering employees as contractors to avoid paying legally required benefits, including superannuation, leave entitlements and insurance. Members of the Punjabi community have also been caught up in this illegal practice, known as ‘sham contracting'. A major new national report has found that young and newly arrived migrants, often unaware of the legal and financial differences between a TFN and an ABN, are among the most vulnerable. The ATO and Fair Work Ombudsman are now stepping up enforcement and warning employers of tougher penalties. - ਤਾਜ਼ਾ ਖੋਜ ਅਤੇ ਸਰਕਾਰੀ ਜਾਂਚਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਾਹਮਣੇ ਆਇਆ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਵਿੱਚ ‘ਸ਼ੈਮ ਕੰਟਰੈਕਟਿੰਗ' ਦੇ ਮਾਮਲੇ ਤੇਜ਼ੀ ਨਾਲ ਵੱਧ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ, ਜਿੱਥੇ ਕਈ ਕਾਰੋਬਾਰ ਕਰਮਚਾਰੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਗਲਤ ਤਰੀਕੇ ਨਾਲ ਠੇਕੇਦਾਰ ਵਜੋਂ ਦਰਜ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ। ਰਿਪੋਰਟਾਂ ਮੁਤਾਬਕ ਨੌਜਵਾਨ ਅਤੇ ਨਵੇਂ ਆਏ ਪਰਵਾਸੀ, ਖਾਸ ਕਰਕੇ ਉਹ ਜੋ TFN ਅਤੇ ABN ਦੇ ਕਾਨੂੰਨੀ ਅੰਤਰਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਅਣਜਾਣ ਹਨ, ਇਸ ਸ਼ੋਸ਼ਣ ਦਾ ਵੱਧ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨਾ ਬਣ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ। ATO ਅਤੇ ਫੇਅਰ ਵਰਕ ਨੇ ਚੇਤਾਵਨੀ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਅਜਿਹੇ ਗੈਰ ਕਾਨੂੰਨੀ ਅਭਿਆਸਾਂ ਖ਼ਿਲਾਫ਼ ਕਾਰਵਾਈ ਹੋਰ ਸਖ਼ਤ ਕੀਤੀ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ।

Conférence publique du 21 mai 2026 - Episode #8 "Syrie, une nouvelle donne régionale ?" Bernard Hourcade (CNRS, CeRMI) et Jean Marcou (Sciences Po Grenoble – UGA) Modération : Philippe Pétriat (Université Paris 1-Panthéon Sorbonne) Jean Marcou, politiste spécialiste de la Turquie et Bernard Hourcade, géographe spécialiste de l'Iran, analysent l'évolution des relations de la Syrie avec la Turquie et l'Iran, de 1946 à nos jours. Dans un premier temps, Jean Marcou retrace la période allant de l'indépendance de la Syrie jusqu'aux années 1990. Durant cette période, la Syrie apparait comme le voisin le plus problématique de la Turquie. En effet, alors que la Turquie s'aligne sur le bloc occidental, la Syrie baasiste se rapproche de l'Union soviétique durant la guerre froide. Plusieurs différends aggravent cette rivalité : la question du Sandjak d'Alexandrette, le partage des ressources en eau du Tigre et de l'Euphrate et le soutien syrien au PKK kurde. Un rapprochement entre les deux pays s'opère dans les années 2000, après l'arrestation d'Abdullah Öcalan et la fin du soutien de la Syrie au PKK. Les relations diplomatiques et économiques connaissent un développement soutenu et cela jusqu'en 2011. Bernard Hourcade décrit les relations méfiantes que la Syrie entretient avec l'Iran, tourné à l'époque du Shah vers l'Occident. Dès la révolution islamique, la Syrie reconnaît le nouveau régime islamique afin de contrebalancer l'influence de l'Irak de Saddam Hussein au Moyen-Orient. Cette alliance se renforce durant la guerre Iran-Irak grâce à des partenariats militaires et stratégiques. Le soutien de la Syrie au Hezbollah contribue à son essor et renforce l'influence régionale de l'Iran. Malgré des intérêts communs contre Israël et l'extrémisme sunnite, certaines divergences idéologiques ont parfois fragilisé leur relation. La guerre en Syrie bouleverse profondément les équilibres régionaux. Les relations entre la Turquie et la Syrie entrent dans une période de forte hostilité en 2011, rompant avec la politique turque précédente du « zéro problème avec les voisins ». Après avoir tenté de jouer un rôle de médiateur auprès du régime de Bachar al-Assad, la Turquie soutient finalement les forces d'opposition. Son implication militaire s'accompagne parfois d'alliances controversées avec certains groupes djihadistes, notamment Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. Les tensions avec d'autres puissances, comme la Russie dans la région d'Idlib, illustrent la complexité du conflit. La frontière turco-syrienne devient une zone de conflit marquée par des affrontements entre différentes factions. La Turquie fait face à plusieurs défis : l'accueil massif de réfugiés syriens, les tensions économiques et sociales liées à leur intégration ainsi que la montée d'un discours anti-réfugiés. De plus, l'autonomie kurde du Rojava suscite des inquiétudes à Ankara en raison des liens des YPG avec le PKK. Depuis la chute du régime de Bachar al-Asad, la Turquie a renoué un dialogue dynamique avec la Syrie et des projets de coopération économique, énergétique et éducative sont lancés. Toutefois, Ankara maintient une présence militaire dans le nord de la Syrie au nom de la sécurité et de la stabilité régionales. Le retour des réfugiés syriens installés en Turquie depuis 2011 (près de 3 millions) et l'opposition à toute constitution d'une entité kurde autonome constituent toujours deux lignes directrices de la politique turque à l'égard de la Syrie. Quant à l'Iran, sa stratégie d'expansion régionale a échoué face aux attaques israéliennes après la chute du régime de Bachar Al-Assad – qui a compliqué les échanges avec le Hezbollah au Liban. L'Iran subit une défaite idéologique et une perte d'influence territoriale dans un contexte d'évolutions des alliances favorisant les puissances sunnites telle que l'Arabie saoudite.

From humble beginnings playing small clubs to forming the Pharaohs, Sam's journey is one of persistence, personality, and pure musical instinct.Of course, no conversation about Sam the Sham is complete without his global smash hit Wooly Bully—a track that became one of the biggest-selling singles of 1965. With its infectious groove and playful lyrics, the song captured the carefree spirit of a generation and remains a party favourite to this day. We take a closer look at how that iconic track came together and why it still resonates decades later.We also revisit the success of Little Red Riding Hood, another standout hit that proved Sam was far more than a one-hit wonder. With its cheeky storytelling and catchy hook, it cemented his place in pop culture history and showcased his ability to blend novelty with genuine musical craftsmanship.As musical tastes shifted in the late 1960s, Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs faced the same challenges as many artists of the era. We explore the changing landscape of rock music, the impact of lineup changes, and how Sam navigated a rapidly evolving industry.You'll also hear about Sam's decision to step away from the spotlight in the 1970s, choosing a quieter, more spiritual path rather than chasing ongoing fame. It's a fascinating turn that adds depth to the story of a man who once lit up stages around the world.This episode celebrates the legacy of a true original—an artist who brought humour, theatre, and unforgettable music to millions. Whether you remember dancing to Wooly Bully or are discovering Sam the Sham for the first time, this is a story that captures the magic of a golden era in music.Tune in and rediscover the sound, the style, and the spirit of one of the most unique voices of the '60s.

In this wild episode of Everyday Black Men, Riker, Sham, Reed, Whyte Collar Suge, Armstead, and the Black Libertarian bounce from Black Friday madness to debates about capitalism, poverty, and why people will abandon their families for a good deal. The crew jokes about military games, busted economic systems, and whether America's biggest companies have quietly become untouchable monopolies, while Reed and Riker clash over taxes, wealth, and what actually fixes society. Between serious conversations, the episode constantly swerves into chaos with Walmart jean deals, Armstead's legendary pants size, old-school shopping memories, and Whyte Collar Suge declaring that “two men on one horse is gay” for absolutely no reason. By the end, the guys somehow connect Nigerian tragedy, bargain shopping, and killing the Black Libertarian first into one perfectly unhinged conversation that only Everyday Black Men could pull off.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

He shares a three-pronged approach to sustainable growth and outlines revenue strategies aimed at supporting long-term operational and financial success.

The Rambam, in Hilchot Talmud Torah (3:12), writes that one cannot achieve success in Torah learning if he learns in a relaxed manner, and only when learning is convenient and comfortable. Like anything else in life, a person excels only through persistence, diligence, and hard work. "Dabbling" in Torah will not result in Torah scholarship – just like "dabbling" in any other field will not lead to mastery or excellence in that field. There are no shortcuts to achievement in Torah study. Rav Mordechai Gifter (1915-2001), Rosh Yeshiva of the Telz Yeshiva in Cleveland, would say that a lot of students want to learn the entire Shas in one night – and also manage to sleep eight hours that night…and to learn while sipping soda… Quite obviously, this is not how it works. A person can succeed in Torah learning only if he is prepared to put in the time, work and effort, and to learn even when conditions are far less than ideal. This includes learning even when one feels tired. Although a person should certainly sleep as much as he needs, he should ensure to use the rest of his time for Torah learning, and not for sleeping beyond what he needs for his physical and emotional wellbeing. Many sources emphasize the particular importance and value of learning Torah during the nighttime hours. In fact, the Gemara (Erubin 65a) states explicitly that the nighttime period was designated specifically for Torah learning. And the Rambam writes in Hilchot Talmud Torah (3:13): "Even though it is a Misva to study both during the day and at night, it is only at night that a person acquires the majority of his wisdom. Therefore, whoever wishes to merit the "Crown of Torah" should be careful with all of his nights, not wasting even one of them on sleep, eating, drinking, idle chatter, or the like—rather, [spending them] in the study of Torah and words of wisdom." The Rambam concludes: "And any house in which the words of Torah are not heard at night will be consumed by fire." If one's "fire" – his passion, his excitement and energy – is directed somewhere else other than Torah, then his home runs the risk, Heaven forbid, of being consumed by fire. The Torah tells (Bereshit 28:11) that when Yaakob was leaving Eretz Yisrael, and he reached the site where the Bet Ha'mikdash would be built, he went to sleep ("Va'yalen Sham"). The Midrash comments that Yaakob slept there – but did not sleep at all during the fourteen previous years, which he spent learning Torah in the yeshiva of Shem and Eber. The commentators explain that this cannot mean that he literally remained awake for fourteen years. Rather, it means that during that period, Yaakob never actually went to sleep in a bed. When he needed to, he put his head down, or found a place to lie so he could get the small amount of sleep that he needed. In order to achieve in Torah learning, one must be prepared to sacrifice physical comfort, and to keep his sleep to a minimum. A different passage in the Midrash tells that King David would go to sleep at nightfall, but he kept a musical instrument by his bedroom window, that served as a kind of "alarm clock." At Hasot (midnight), the wind would blow the strings, producing music, and David would wake up to learn Torah. The Yeser Ha'ra (evil inclination) would try to convince him to go back to sleep, saying that kings normally enjoy the luxury of sleeping late, as they do not have to rise early for work like the commoners. But David would ignore the Yeser Ha'ra and spend the rest of the night engrossed in Torah study. The Gemara (Sukka 26b) instructs that if a person needs to sleep during the day, he should sleep for only a brief amount. Elsewhere (Erubin 65a), the Gemara relates that Rav Hisda's daughter asked why he slept so little, and he replied that soon – after his passing – he would have plenty of time for sleep… Our limited time here in this world should be used productively, and not wasted on excessive rest and relaxation. The Midrash Tanhuma (Parashat Noah, 3) warns that in order to succeed in learning the intricate material of the Torah She'be'al Peh, one cannot aspire to wealth and luxuries; the only way to excel in Torah learning is by sacrificing physical and material comforts. Similarly, Tana De'beh Eliyahu Zuta (14) warns that excessive eating and sleeping leads to "poverty" in the area of Torah knowledge. Normally, when a person stays up late at night and sleeps only the minimum that he requires, he is likely to appear the next day pale, drained, and bleary-eyed, and might not be very pleasant to look at. However, the Gemara (Hagiga 12a) promises that if a person spends his night learning Torah, Hashem "casts a cord of Hesed" over him. This means that he will have a certain "charm" the next day, earning people's admiration and favor despite his fatigue. In a different passage (Sanhedrin 71b), the Gemara teaches that when the righteous sleep, they and the entire world suffer a loss. As the Sadikim spend their time productively, involved in meaningful pursuits that benefit them and the entire world, they and the world lose as a result of the time they spend sleeping. (Conversely, then, when the wicked sleep – and thus are not engaged in their sinful behavior – they and the entire world benefit from their inactivity.) The Gemara in Masechet Menahot (110a) teaches that scholars who spend their nights learning Torah are considered as though they offer sacrifices in the Bet Ha'mikdash. And in Masechet Tamid (32b), the Gemara states that if a person learns Torah at night, the Shechina accompanies him wherever he goes. The Talmud Yerushalmi (Ta'anit 3a) cites Rav Ada Bar Ahaba as avowing that he never slept an entire night, as he always rose early to learn Torah. The Reshit Hochma ( Rabbi Eliyahu de Vidas, 1518–1587) writes that when one learns Torah at night, he is not seen; his study is private, without publicity and fanfare, and this lends it a very special quality. Since he learns secretly, he is worthy of having the hidden secrets of the Torah revealed to him. An especially stern passage appears in Abot De'Rabbi Natan (29:3), warning that if a person is awake at night and not involved in Torah learning, "he would be better off had he been strangled at birth." Rabbenu Yona (Spain, 1200-1263) writes that if a person stays awake at night learning Torah, then he obviates the need for Yisurin (punishments). Since he subjects himself to the discomfort of remaining awake to learn Torah, this counts for whichever kinds of suffering he needs to experience. This is alluded to by the verse in Tehillim (94:12), "Ashreh Ha'geber Asher Teyaserenu Y-ah U'mi'Toratecha Telamedenu" – "Fortunate is the man whom G-d punished, and teaches him from his Torah." This can be read to mean that a person is fortunate if he receives his punishments by immersing himself in intensive Torah learning, exerting hard work and effort. Rabbenu Yona further notes that Moshe Rabbenu did not sleep at all throughout the forty days he spent atop Mount Sinai receiving the Torah – setting an example of minimizing sleep for the sake of Torah learning. If, Rabbenu Yona adds, a king invited someone to his treasury to collect as many riches as he could for a specific period of time, this man would certainly not sleep at all during that time, and would use every moment he could to collect riches. We, too, should use as much of our limited time in this world as we can for Torah learning, collecting spiritual "riches," rather than waste our time indulging in physical comforts. Rav Besalel Ashkenazi (Israel, 1520-1592) writes that in his youth, he spent his nights engaged in Torah study, often learning throughout the night without sleeping. He also occasionally skipped meals. It was through this sacrifice of physical comforts for Torah learning that he achieved Torah scholarship. The Reshit Hochma writes that his esteemed mentor, Rav Yosef Taychik (1465-1546), did not sleep in a bed for forty years, and would instead sit on an elevated piece of furniture with his legs dangling, such that he would not stay asleep for an extended period. He rose every night at midnight and spent the rest of the night learning Torah. And a disciple of Rav Yehonatan Eibshutz (1694-1764) testified that throughout the years he spent learning under him, Rav Yehonatan never slept in a bed, and instead dozed for brief periods in his chair. Rav Chaim Brim (Jerusalem, 1922-2002) related that the Hazon Ish (Rav Abraham Yeshaya Karelitz, 1878-1953) was once found sleeping on his bed in the wrong position – with his feet on the side where the head was supposed to be. The people told him to turn around, and he said, "If I had the strength to turn myself around, I would learn another Tosafot." The Hazon Ish continued learning Torah until he had no strength left, not even to turn his body around. Rav Haim Palachi (Turkey, 1788-1868) wrote that if a person could see into the future, to the time when he would be in the grave, and understand the extent of the regret he would experience for not having used his time properly, he would never waste time, and he would minimize his sleep in order to spend more time learning Torah. Rav Palachi added that a person who rises at midnight to learn Torah earns the status of a "friend" of Hashem and of the Nation of Israel, and he will be spared punishments that befall the rest of the world. The Reshit Hochma notes that when rising at midnight to learn Torah, one should be driven solely by his genuine love for Hashem, and not by any ulterior motives. Only if his intentions are pure will he reap the precious rewards for learning Torah at night. The Reshit Hochma says that as a teenager, he devoted himself entirely to Torah study, engaging in virtually no other activities. The Peleh Yoetz (Rav Eliezer Papo, 1785-1828) urges us to train ourselves to sleep fewer hours and to learn Torah even when we feel drowsy, in order to maximize the amount of time we have to devote to Torah. The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) discusses the great value of learning Torah in the predawn hours, adding that one's intentions should be for the sake of Hashem, and not to earn reward. The Tchebiner Rav (1881-1965) had the practice on Shabbat afternoons of testing schoolchildren on their Torah studies. One Shabbat afternoon, a boy knocked on his door, but there was no answer, as the Rabbi was sleeping. The youngster continued knocking until the Rabbi answered. The Rabbi gently told the boy that if nobody answers the door on Shabbat afternoon, this usually means that the people in the home are asleep. "I didn't think that the Rabbi slept on Shabbat afternoon!" The Tchebiner Rav committed to never sleep again on Shabbat afternoon, acknowledging that this was the expectation of a sage of his stature. From all these sources, we see the importance of learning Torah even when one feels tired, and that we must try to push ourselves to achieve to the best of our ability rather than spend our free time relaxing and learning only when it is easy and convenient.

Welcome back to Part 35 of our series with Dr. John Turner discussing his new book “Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet.”In 1843, Joseph Smith began introducing some of his closest family members – including his wife Emma Smith and his brother Hyrum Smith –to the controversial and secretive practice of plural marriage.This episode dives into one of the most complex and debated periods of early Latter-day Saint history. We explore the story of the Kinderhook Plates –a set of six brass plates that briefly captured Joseph Smith's attention before being exposed as a fraud –and what that moment reveals about claims of translation and discernment.We also examine the marriages to the Partridge sisters, the dynamics between Joseph and Emma, and the growing theological framework surrounding celestial marriage, “calling and election made sure,” and eternal hierarchy. As new doctrines emerged, secrecy, trust, and power became deeply intertwined. This episode raises difficult questions such as: What happened to the Kinderhook Plates –and why didn't the translation continue? How did plural marriage unfold behind the scenes? What did Joseph teach privately vs publicly? How did those closest to him respond about polygamy?This is a careful, long-form discussion intended to slow down and examine the historical record in detail. If you'd like to help keep this project going, please consider donating to support this series here.
