This week's "PARSHA & PROSE" offers some deeply meaningful reflections. Rabbi Shlomo Gemara's discussion of the Torah portion, Pikudei through the lens of 'The Emperor's New Clothes', is highly intriguing. The rabbi ties the intricate beauty of the Tabernacle to a more spiritual perspective, and that is emphasizing the importance of seeing God clearly through the magnificence of the structure and what lies within it.

When women and men argue, women can often be more comfortable in expressing their feelings of hurt and anger.  Men can feel distressed by this strength of feeling, and may pull away emotionally. They may feel a very strong urge to occupy the ground of rationality and objectivity, which in turn leads their partner to push harder, desperately seeking emotional connection. Dr Avrum Weiss is a US-based author and psychotherapist specialising in the internal lives of men. His writing and his work with couples help men and women understand each other more deeply and build a stronger connection. In this classic reissued episode, Andrew and Avrum discuss the emotion of anger and how our childhoods can influence our adult experiences of it. They share insights from Avrum's book Hidden in Plain Sight: How Men's Fears of Women Shape Their Intimate Relationships , and look at how men and women can better understand each other's internal world.

In PARSHA & PROSE, Rabbi Gemara and Avrum, discuss the Torah portion of Va'era, and its narrative that centers on God's reaffirmation of His covenant with the Israelites and the beginning of Moses' mission to confront Pharaoh, setting the stage for the dramatic liberation from Egypt. Through the lens of Leon Uris' novel Exodus, this portion takes on a more expansive and humanistic dimension. Uris delves into the psychological and emotional struggles of the characters, particularly Ari Ben Canaan, who grapples with his own identity and divine mission. The novel's portrayal of Ben Canaans' doubts mirrors the themes of faith, perseverance, and the longing for freedom found in Va'era. Uris illustrates the tension between divine destiny and human agency, emphasizing that while the Israelites' liberation is divinely ordained, it is also shaped by the courage and resolve of individuals. This duality, highlighted in the Torah text and brought to life in Uris' narrative, underscores the complexities of divine intervention and the human spirit in the face of oppression. In SHIVIM PANIM, the beginning segment of PARSHA AND PROSE, Rabbi Gemara and Avrum schmooze about: a) the 'Brisker way' in learning, b) former Israeli Hostage, the very erudite and spiritual, Sapir Cohen, c) and the sensitivity of Judaism toward courts and convicted defendants.

The Torah portion of Toledoth (Genesis 25:19–28:9) chronicles the generations of Isaac, focusing on the birth and lives of his sons, Esau and Jacob, and their complex relationship. It explores themes of sibling rivalry, birthright, deception, and divine election, with Jacob receiving the blessing meant for Esau, despite being the younger son. Similarly, John Steinbeck's East of Eden mirrors these themes in a modern context, drawing clear parallels between the biblical story and the lives of two sets of brothers: Charles and Adam Trask, and later, Adam's sons, Aron and Cal. Both narratives explore the dynamics of favoritism, jealousy, and the struggle for identity, inheritance, and approval. In Toledoth, God's will overcomes human scheming, as Jacob becomes the chosen one despite his deceptive methods, just as in East of Eden, the characters wrestle with inherited sin and the quest for redemption. Both stories highlight the tension between personal agency and divine destiny, examining how individuals navigate the moral complexities of their circumstances.

In a poignant and deeply moving episode of our podcast, I had the privilege of speaking with Michael Levy, whose life was forever altered on October 7th when his brother, Or Levy, was tragically taken hostage, and his sister-in-law, Eynav Levy, was senselessly murdered by terrorists in southern Israel. They have a three year old son, Almog. Michael bravely shared with us the raw emotions, challenges, and profound resilience that have marked his family's journey since that fateful day. His reflections on loss, strength, and the power of community paint a vivid picture of both personal tragedy and unwavering hope. This interview is a testament to the human spirit's capacity to endure amidst unimaginable hardship and a reminder of the importance of solidarity in times of adversity.

In V'zot HaBerachah, Moses bestows blessings on the tribes of Israel, highlighting themes of unity, leadership, and divine promise as he prepares to pass the mantle of leadership. This resonates with the narrative of "The Return of the King," where Aragorn's ascension to the throne symbolizes hope, restoration, and the fulfillment of destiny. Just as Moses emphasizes the importance of community and faith in God's guidance, Aragorn embodies the return of rightful leadership, rallying diverse factions against a common enemy. Both texts illustrate the transformative power of a strong leader who inspires courage and resilience in the face of darkness. The blessings of Moses and the return of Aragorn serve as reminders that true leadership is rooted in selflessness, vision, and the ability to unite people toward a shared purpose, ultimately fostering a sense of belonging and hope for a brighter future.

In this episode of Parsha & Prose, we delve into the profound themes of the double Torah portion, Netzavim-Va'yelech, through the lens of Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. Just as the main character in 'Crime and Punishment', Raskolnikov, grapples with his moral dilemmas and the weight of his actions, the Israelites stand at a pivotal moment, choosing between obedience and rebellion. This portion emphasizes the importance of collective responsibility and the consequences of our choices, echoing Raskolnikov's internal struggle with guilt and redemption. We'll explore how the calls for repentance and the promise of renewal in Netzavim-Va'yelech resonate with Dostoevsky's exploration of sin and atonement, inviting us to reflect on our own moral journeys and the paths we choose. Join us as we navigate these complex narratives of human nature, accountability, and the quest for forgiveness.   The show is brought to you by The Professional Centre.

Watch The Video & Don't Forget to Like, Comment, Subscribe, & Share. In this episode, we delve into the Torah portion Ki Tavo through the intriguing lens of Robert Graves' historical novel 'I, Claudius'. Ki Tavo focuses on the blessings and curses that the Israelites will encounter upon entering the Promised Land, a powerful narrative about the consequences of choices and the interplay of human ambition and divine will. 'I, Claudius' explores the turbulent and treacherous nature of imperial Rome, illustrating how power, ambition, and fate shape the lives of its characters. Just as the blessings and curses in Ki Tavo reflect the moral and spiritual consequences of the Israelites' actions, the novel portrays how Claudius, an unexpected and underestimated ruler, navigates a world rife with political intrigue and moral complexity. By comparing these two narratives, we can gain deeper insights into how ancient texts and historical fiction both grapple with the themes of destiny, governance, and human frailty.

Avrum Rosensweig, a motivational speaker, coach and podcaster shares profound insights about finding one's groove in life, one's purpose. Through the telling of a story, he emphasizes that discovering this rhythm isn't about rigidly adhering to a set path but about embracing flexibility and authenticity. According to Rosensweig, finding your groove involves tapping into your true passions and strengths, allowing yourself to adapt and grow as you navigate challenges. His approach encourages individuals to talk to others who have found their 'road' and listen to your inner voice and make mindful adjustments, fostering a harmonious balance between ambition and personal well-being.

In this episode, we dive into the powerful theme of love and romance in times of war. The intriguing concept of Yefat Toar in Parshat Ki Tetze offers a unique lens to view alongside Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms, one of the most significant works of World War I literature. We'll explore how both texts wrestle with desire, morality, and the lasting impact of war.

Juxtaposing the Torah portion Va'etchanan with Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude reveals intriguing contrasts and parallels in their treatment of memory, tradition, and identity. In Va'etchanan, Moses implores the Israelites to remember their past experiences and adhere to the divine commandments as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. This act of remembrance is framed within a covenantal relationship, emphasizing a linear progression of faith and duty. Conversely, Márquez's novel presents a cyclical view of history through the Buendía family's multi-generational saga in Macondo, where characters are trapped in repetitive patterns of behavior and destiny. While Ve'etchanan underscores a forward-looking commitment to divine law and collective memory, One Hundred Years of Solitude reflects on how the past continually shapes and entraps individuals within a cycle of fate. Both works grapple with the power of memory and tradition, but Ve'etchanan offers a vision of renewal and adherence to sacred principles, whereas Márquez's narrative explores the inescapable and often burdensome nature of historical repetition.  This episode is sponsored by The Professional Centre.

Growing up as a rabbi's kid often means living in a world where faith and community are intimately intertwined with daily life. From an early age, you might find yourself at the heart of synagogue events, holiday celebrations, and communal gatherings, with your family's role deeply influencing your own experiences and expectations. On the one hand, it can be a unique privilege, offering a profound sense of belonging and a front-row seat to the spiritual and social fabric of your community. On the other hand, it can also come with its own set of challenges, from navigating high expectations to balancing personal identity with public perception. Join three rabbi's kids: Neshama Carlebach, Shira Dicker and Avrum Rosensweig as they explore the complexities, joys, and lessons of growing up in the shadow of the pulpit.

In this episode of "Parsha and Pro," we delve into the Torah portion of Pinchas and Charlotte Brontë's classic novel, Jane Eyre, uncovering unexpected parallels between these seemingly disparate texts. Pinchas, a figure celebrated for his zealous act of faithfulness, represents a moment of decisive, albeit controversial, commitment to the divine covenant, which ultimately preserves the integrity of the Israelite community. Similarly, Jane Eyre, the novel's resilient protagonist, embodies a steadfast adherence to her moral and personal principles in the face of social and personal upheavals. Similary, we touch on the issue of inheritance having to do with the daughters of Tzelafchaad. The daughters courageously insisted that they be recipients of their diseased fathers wealth, and God listened. In Jane Eyre, you find a very brave protaganist, pursuing what was rightfully her's in life, the chance to love. Both Pinchas and Jane Eyre are driven by an unwavering sense of duty and righteousness, challenging the norms and expectations of their respective worlds. As we explore these narratives, we'll uncover how their stories of conviction and moral courage resonate across cultures and centuries, highlighting the timeless struggle for integrity and justice.

In this week's podcast series - PARSHA & PROS, with Rabbi Shlomo Gemara and Avrum Rosensweig, we discuss the Torah portion, Chukat, and delve into the profound themes of mortality and purification. Chukat explores the paradoxical nature of the laws of purity and impurity, highlighting the inevitable confrontation with death and the ritual of the Red Heffer that symbolize spiritual cleansing. Similarly, we talk about Leo Tolstoy's novella, 'The Death of Ivan Ilych', which grapples with the existential crisis of a man facing his own mortality. Ivan Illych's journey reflects the Torah's exploration of death and purification through its stark portrayal of Ivan's inner turmoil and societal façades crumbling in the face of death's inevitability. Both texts provoke contemplation on the essence of life, the inevitability of death, and the quest for spiritual and moral purity amidst human frailty. The show is sponsored by Gary Samuel and Paul Zivot and Family; Peter Ekstein and Family; Mathew Diamond & Family, who pay tribute to IDF soldiers fighting courageously for the safety and security of Israel, and Jews everywhere.

Rabbi Shlomo Gemara and Avrum Rosensweig study the Torah portion of Korach and Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar". Both explore themes of power, betrayal, and the consequences of ambition. In the Torah, Korach's rebellion against Moses and Aaron mirrors the power struggle in ancient Rome depicted in Shakespeare's play. Both narratives reveal the dangers of unchecked ambition and the destabilizing effects of internal dissent within a community or empire. Korach, like Caesar, challenges established authority, leading to upheaval and tragic outcomes. Both stories highlight the complexities of leadership and the perilous nature of challenging those in power, serving as cautionary tales about the repercussions of ambition and the importance of maintaining unity and order.

In this episode of our new podcast series: 'Classical Tales, Biblical Truths: Weekly Torah Insights Through Literature', we delve into an intriguing comparison between two narratives: the biblical tale of the spies (in Parshat Shelach), sent to scout the Promised Land and William Golding's classic novel 'The Lord of the Flies'. Rabbi Gemara and Avrum Rosensweig navigate through the parallels of human nature and societal dynamics portrayed in both stories. They unpack how the cautionary tales of exploration, leadership, the lack of, and the challenges of group dynamics resonate across time and culture, offering timeless insights into human behavior and the complexities of community life.

Co-Host Dr. Avrum Weiss (https://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/avrum) The first time my guest Dr. Avrum Weiss was on, he threw down some enlightening yet challenging ideas about not only HOW we as men tend to be afraid of women, but WHY. This time, he returns to go into more detail about how even those of us who THINK we're pretty much fearless out there with women are hamstringing ourselves when it comes to success with women. As his book's title says, much of this self-sabotage happens in plain sight. What's more, women themselves also see our fear...and yet typically offer little to no help in letting us see our own proverbial forest for the trees. Why is this all apparently so simple, yet so complicated at the same time? Well, Avrum starts off by explaining how we as men experience fear of women as opposed to how women perceive it. As much as we associate fear with the attraction process and dating, where does most of it REALLY come from? Then we explain exactly why so many men attract 'average' women without any problem whatsoever...until they're in front of a woman they're actually attracted to. And how can subtle fears crater our chances with women...not just in the beginning, but eventually in the context of even a long-term relationship? What are the real differences between what women SAY they want in a man, and what they REALLY want? And how do OUR fears as men influence both? Next, if we know being needy and seeking approval is an attraction killer, why do so many men have such a hard time cutting it out? And most of all...what is the most effective antidote for relational fear? Stay tuned for practical steps. After all these years, some of you guys still aren't getting my free daily newsletter.

Harvey Brownstone, former judge, author and now the host of his own talk show with the stars, speaks with Avrum Rosensweig about his growing up years, coming out as a 'faygela' (sort of Yiddish for 'gay'), the Jews in the world today, and interviews he has done with the greats like Robert Wagner. A fascinating schooze. Well worth listening to.

Devora Mason, The Avrum Rosensweig Show Israel reporter reports on her recent trips to Israel south and north. Her report includes pictures from both ends of Israel and reflect the tragedy of October 7th and the recent war. Similarly, she leaves the viewer with hope knowing that Israelis are already planning for the future in those areas, full with startups and better and stronger structures and communities.

Watch this interview with Hillel Halkin. Hillel has translated over thirty books, written novels and most recently released a book called: A Complicated Jew: Selected Essays. In our interview he tells amazing stories about spending time with Amos Oz, who he translated a book for. You'll hear insight scoops on Hillel's ballsy move to write on behalf of Shalom Aleichem, out of necessity.   There is much to take away from in my schmooze with Hillel Halkin, especially the pure old-time view of Zionism and the State of Israel. 

This is the second part of my interview with editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Jewish Times, David Suissa. David speaks passionately about Israel and painfully about October 7th and afterward. His insights into the Jewish people and the State of Israel are fascinating. Have a listen. 

Dr. Avrum Weiss is a seasoned psychologist and author of four books, including the provocatively titled Hidden in Plain Sight: How Men's Fears of Women Shape Their Intimate Relationships. That book is the subject of a conversation you can hear on VBB epi XXX. This time around, we explore even more provocative topics, including Dr. Weiss's insightful observations of pervasive social media discussions surrounding narcissism and how this has transformed into a thinly veiled campaign of male-bashing. Dr. Weiss challenges popular narratives, even among his peers, that paint narcissism as a "terminal condition" devoid of any path to understanding or empathy. His point is that the vast majority of clinically diagnosed narcissists are men. We also delve into the transformative power of involved fatherhood. It's the evolving role of men in childcare, the enhanced emotional well-being it brings to fathers, and the life-long benefits for children. Dr. Weiss also shares three practical but somewhat counterintuitive steps men can take to nurture a deeper relationship with their kids.

Do men truly fear intimacy and commitment? What is the psychology of men and emotions? How to best approach dating and men?  Today's conversation will debunk popular myths surrounding the psychology of men and how to best approach men and dating. Dr. Avrum Weiss is an acclaimed author, speaker, psychologist, and consultant. With nearly 40 years of clinical practice and research, Avrum has published 4 academic textbooks and trained hundreds of psychotherapists. His insightful columns on Psychology Today have captivated over two million readers.  Expect to learn about men's psychology in a relationship, the role of gender socialization, men and emotions, how to approach dating and men, what men need in a relationship, why men are not afraid of intimacy, and much more.

LOVE & DARKNESS is a multi-generational saga tracking the triumphs and tragedies of a large, powerful Hungarian Jewish family during WWII. Based on an incredible true story, this project will be adapted as an action-packed historical podcast. LOVE & DARKNESS explores themes of discrimination, anti-Semitism and hope that remain relevant in today's world. With these timely issues in mind, we will be partnering with a to-be-announced philanthropic organization that we will be supporting through this podcast.Summary:Avrum Katz (47) is a Rabbi and the patriarch of a large family in 1941 Hungary. Hungary is an ally of Nazi Germany and has been implementing increasingly strict anti-Jewish laws. Avrum's family owns a farm and butcher shop in a small town. His son, Dov (22), brings a Christian woman, Inga (22), to the bris of Avrum's first grandchild. Captain Tibor (30s), a Christian army captain, sees Inga at the celebration. He becomes enraged when he learns that Inga loves Dov and not him. In retaliation, Tibor has the Katz's butchershop shut down, cutting off the family's livelihood. Dov is infuriated and beats up Captain Tibor. Avrum and his son Isaac (24) travel to Budapest to meet with Moshe (70), Avrum's estranged father and a powerful businessman, to ask if he can get the shop's license reinstated. While there, Avrum and Moshe are unjustly arrested by the police for “inciting rebellion.” It's clear that Captain Tibor is responsible. As payback, Dov, Isaac, their brother Wolf (23), and Uncle Yehuda (43) murder Gyorgy (40s), an anti-Semitic neighbor who reported the Katz family to Captain Tibor. Captain Tibor slays the family's cattle as revenge. It's then shockingly revealed that Captain Tibor is secretly Jewish. In the final scenes, Avrum and Moshe are at the forefront of the Hungarian and Nazi's battle against Russia. They have been forced into the Hungarian army's Forced Labor Battalion. Moshe offers to walk in front of Avrum so Avrum can say a prayer before the men are forced to cross a minefield. Moshe is then killed by an exploding mine in front of his son. When it's Avrum's turn, he miraculously makes it to the other side and becomes determined to escape.
