Asara B'Teves marks the day Nevuchadnezar, King of Bavel, laid siege to Yerushalayim — the beginning of the Churban.But on this very same day is the yahrtzeit of Reb Nosson of Breslov (December 20, 1844), the primary talmid of Rebbe Nachman, the one who revealed and transmitted Rebbe Nachman's redemptive Torah to the world.This is no coincidence.In this shiur, we explore the deep contrast and connection between the beginning of destruction and the beginning of geulah. Rebbe Nachman taught that his Torah is the “beginning of redemption,” and Reb Nosson embodied that message—especially on a day that represents siege, darkness, and concealment.We examine how the siege of Bavel continues today—not only through the outside world of sheker, confusion, and distraction, but through the inner siege of the yetzer hara, which tries to define us by externals, past failures, and despair.Through Breslov teachings, we uncover the nekuda tova—the inner point within every Jew that is untouchable by sin, untouched by exile, and always connected to Hashem.Asara B'Teves is not only about mourning the past—it's about discovering where redemption truly begins.#AsaraBTeves #Breslov #RebbeNachman #RebNosson #Geulah #Churban #JewishTorah #InnerAvodah #NekudaTova #YetzerHara #Emunah #Redemption #TorahThoughts

התוכן הרמב"ם פותח את הל' תעניות בזה, שהענין דקביעת תענית על מאורע מסויים הוא כדי שלא "יאמרו דבר זה ממנהג העולם אירע לנו וצרה זו נקרה נקרית", ועאכו"כ מאורע של "עשירי בטבת" הנוגע לכללות עם ישראל, "סמך מלך בבל על ירושלים", שזו היתה הסיבה וההתחלה לענין החורבן וכו' – אלא זהו לתועלת בנ"י, לעורר אותם בתשובה ולתקן את ענינים הדרושים. הירידה היא צורך עלי'. ועפי"ז מובן, שכשמגיע יום זה אין ליפול ביאוש ועצבות ח"ו מירידה המבהילה שהתחילה דוקא ביום עשירי דחודש העשירי (ש"העשירי יהי' קודש"), ואדרבה – זה צריך לעורר "מרירות" ותשובה, ותשובה מאהבה, לבטל את סיבת הגלות, ועי"ז מתחזקת תקוות הגאולה באופן של "אראנו נפלאות" – יתרון האור. ובפרט שנמצאים כעת לאחרי תפלת מנחה ובמקום קדוש וכו'. ונוסף על ההתבוננות בסיבת התענית וכו', יש להוסיף ביום זה בתורה, עבודה וגמ"ח בפועל. משיחת עשרה בטבת – יהפך לשמחה – ה'תשמ"א ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=30-12-2025 Synopsis The Rambam states at the beginning of the Laws of Fasts that the purpose of a fast day is for a person to recognize that the events commemorated by the fast day are not a “chance occurrence” etc.; especially the 10th of Teves, when “the king of Bavel laid siege to Yerushalayim,” marking the beginning of the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash etc. Ultimately, these events are for the benefit of the Jewish people, to arouse them to do teshuvah and correct whatever needs to be corrected etc. – a “descent for the sake of ascent.” Therefore, it is understood that on a day like this, one should not fall into despair or sadness, chas v'shalom, over the frightening downfall that began specifically on the tenth day of the tenth month (whereas the verse states, “the tenth shall be holy”). On the contrary, a person should feel bitterness and be moved to teshuvah motivated by love, to undo the cause of the exile. This approach will strengthen one's hope for the Redemption, at which time “I will show them wonders” – “the advantage of light from the darkness.” Especially since we have already davened Minchah and we are in a holy place etc. In addition to contemplating the reason for the fast, one should increase in Torah, service, and acts of kindness.Excerpt from sichah of 10 Teves 5741 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=30-12-2025

התוכן חומר הענין של הצום דעשרה בטבת (שלכן צמים בו גם אם זה הי' חל בשבת) הוא כי המאורע שאירע בעשרה בטבת – "סמך מלך בבל אל ירושלים" – היתה הפתיחה למאורעות דשאר הצומות – התחלת כללות החורבן. וזה שהחורבן לא הי' בבת אחת, כי מלמעלה נתנו לבנ"י משך זמן לנצלו לעשיית התשובה ובכך לבטל את החורבן בפועל. וההוראה: לנצל את הזמן שנשאר עד התחלת הצום לעשיית התשובה, ויש בזה את הכח להבאת הגאולה האמיתית והשלימה בפשטות וממילא תתבטל התענית. ויה"ר שהשליחות מצוה לצדקה תפעל שתיכף ומיד יתעורר בכ"א את ה"הרהור תשובה" בתוקף המתאים.שיחת יום ב', ט' טבת ה'תשנ"ב ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=29-12-2025 Synopsis The fast of Asarah B'Teves is more severe than the other fast days instituted by the Sages in that, if it were to fall on Shabbos (although according to the fixed calendar it cannot), we would fast even on Shabbos. The reason this fast day is particularly severe is because “On this very day the king of Bavel laid siege to Yerushalayim” – this marked the beginning and opening of the subsequent events that led to the other fast days. The reason the destruction did not happen all at once was to give the Jewish people time to do teshuvah, and thereby prevent the destruction from taking place. The lesson is that one should utilize the remaining time before the fast begins to do teshuvah, which has the power to bring about the true and complete Redemption literally, thus nullifying the fast. May it be Hashem's will that the act of appointing everyone here as a shliach for the mitzvah of tzedakah should awaken within them a proper “thought of teshuvah” etc.Excerpt from sichah of Monday, 9 Teves, 5752 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=29-12-2025

Ga mee op reis in een ongekende historische tour de force van Paul van de prehistorie, langs de oude Grieken, via de middeleeuwen, naar het heden. En we eindigen met een oproep tot een revolutie. Afgelopen woensdag was het zover: Het Feest van de Democratie. We mochten weer stemmen. Allemaal naar het stemhokje, een bolletje rood kleuren en samen bepalen wie de macht krijgt. Dat is toch de kern van het democratische proces? Ja en nee. Natuurlijk is het moment dat wij de Tweede Kamer kiezen een belangrijk moment in onze parlementaire democratie. Democratie is veel meer dan een systeem van de meeste stemmen gelden. Het gaat ook over de rechten van minderheden, over de rechtstaat. Maar meer nog dan de rechtstaat, wordt het onderliggende principe van de democratie vergeten. Het principe waar de democratie niet zonder kan. In deze aflevering van Leven na de Groei hebben we het over coöperatieve revoluties. De bronnen:David Graeber & David Wengrow, The Dawn of Everything (prehistorie)Marvin Chaney, Peasants, Prophets, and the Political Economy (Griekse en Joodse Oudheid)Henri Pirenne, Early Democracies in the Low Countries (Late Middeleeuwen)Alexis de Toqueville, Democracy in America (18e eeuws Amerika)Karl Polanyi, The Great Transformation (Industriële Revolutie in historisch perspectief)Continent van de Kwaliteit: over de actuele staat van de democratie in relatie tot grote sociaaleconomische trendsBas van Bavel, The Invisible Hand (overkoepelend economisch-historisch werk over de opkomst en ondergang van markteconomieën)

Als kind trok Gijs al de potten en pannen uit de kast en met zijn creativiteit en gedrevenheid vond hij zijn weg naar de plantaardige keuken, met als hoogtepunt de ontwikkeling van de dry-aged rode biet. Samen met zijn partner Iris startte hij Restaurant Vannu in Bavel: een fine dining groentenrestaurant. Tegelijkertijd schaalden ze de dry-age biet op naar landelijke distributie, een extreem intensieve periode. Restaurant Vannu werd, dankzij hun visie, doorzettingsvermogen en sterke teamgeest, een groot succes. Een lovende recensie van de Volkskrant en later een groene Michelinster brachten alles in een stroomversnelling. Uiteraard hoor je ook in deze aflevering alles over zijn blunders én succesgeheimen.Dat was ‘m weer! Hopelijk heb je weer goede tips gehoord om te onthouden. Vergeet je niet te abonneren zodat je een seintje krijgt zodra de volgende aflevering online staat. Meer weten over mij of wat ik doe in de wereld van horeca, leisure en hospitality?

Maartje Marijnissen, 45 jaar en afkomstig uit Bavel, begon na de middelbare school aan de opleiding Grafische Vormgeving aan Sint Lucas in Boxtel. Vervolgens studeerde ze Communicatie aan het Fontys in Eindhoven. Na haar studie startte ze haar loopbaan bij The Communication Company (TCC) in Breda en stapte later over naar Centigrade (destijds Hunterskil Howard) in Eindhoven. Tijdens deze periode werkte ze voor klanten als NAC Breda, Meeùs Holding, MAN Truck & Bus, Euretco Sport, Coface Nederland, Trust International, Cheops IT & Organisatie Advies, Amgen Europe, VolkerRail Nederland, Mitsubishi Motors, Forbo Flooring en Intervet International (Schering-Plough Animal Health). Na enkele jaren aan bureauzijde besloot ze de overstap naar het bedrijfsleven te maken, waar ze diverse marketing- en communicatiefuncties bekleedde. Haar laatste commerciële rol was die van marketingcommunicatiemanager bij de internationale hydrauliekgigant Holmatro in Raamsdonksveer. Sinds enkele jaren runt Maartje haar praktijk Bu Ming Acupunctuur in gezondheidscentrum Tolakker in Bavel. Haar specialisatie ligt op het gebied van oncologie (kanker), rookstopbegeleiding, (chronische) pijn en immuun-gerelateerde problemen zoals auto-immuunziekten, allergieën en afweerstoornissen. Daarnaast verzorgt ze trainingen binnen de complementaire zorg over TCM en kanker, marketing, communicatie en promotie. Specialisatie in oncologie Maartje heeft een persoonlijke band met kanker. Haar eerste ervaring dateert uit de jaren '90, toen de zus van haar moeder overleed aan borstkanker. Drie jaar later verloor ze een vriendin van 18 jaar aan longkanker. Het gevoel van oneerlijkheid bleef haar bij. In 2016 werd ze opnieuw persoonlijk geraakt toen haar vader op 66-jarige leeftijd plotseling overleed aan een agressieve hersentumor, slechts drie maanden na de diagnose. Dit moment markeerde een keerpunt in haar leven. Ze besloot zich om te scholen naar Chinese geneeskunde en specialiseerde zich in TCM bij kanker en oncologische acupunctuur. Ze volgde diverse internationale trainingen bij zowel westerse kankerinstituten als oosters georiënteerde instituten, en blijft regelmatig seminars bijwonen en literatuur en onderzoeken bestuderen. Het is haar levensmissie geworden om kennis over Chinese geneeswijzen bij kanker te vergaren en te delen, om patiënten en therapeuten te ondersteunen en de kwaliteit van leven te verbeteren, ongeacht het stadium van de ziekte. Ze wil iets bieden wat zij voor haar vader nooit kon doen, namelijk complementaire zorg naast reguliere behandelingen.

The Rage and Age of Gog and Magog Let's start with our familiar text: Awake, O north wind, And come, wind of the south; Make my garden breathe out fragrance, Let its spices be wafted abroad. May my beloved come into his garden And eat its choice fruits!” (So 4:16) This call to “Awake, O North” is thought to encompass three distinct calls recorded in 1. Jeremiah 31:7-8 (exiles of Israel), 2. Isaiah 41:25 (Messiah) 3. Gog and Magog (Ezek 38:2) Why are all three being called to "Awake" simultaneously? To awake in Scripture can have a few connotations. The contextual explanation is that there has been a period of inactivity, and the prophetic call is to arouse each group to action. Messiah will begin to gather the exiles who have aroused from a period of spiritual apathy, and simultaneously, Gog and Magog will awaken in that generation to create the chaos and darkness necessary to awaken Israel from spiritual "sleep." Because the gematria of Gog and Magog is 70 [Gimmel-Vav-Gimmel Vav-Mem-Gimmel-Vav-Gimmel, 3+6+3+6+40+3+6+3], they are thought to represent the symbolic 70 nations of the world, which will gather against both 1. Adonai and 2. Israel. Various commentaries make oblique references to Gog and Magog, but it will not be understood fully until the day arrives. Some say it is the descendants of Amalek among the nations. Amalek, from which King Agag arose, is the murderous spirit of Edom, or Rome, the fourth beast, headed by Babylon. In that sense, Gog (chief person) and Magog (his nation, people) has arisen in every generation to provoke the Holy One and people who trust in Him and obey Him. The Scriptures cited below reiterate that Gog and Magog are not a single ruler and nation, but a wicked remnant embedded among all nations. In some generations, they will rise up with enough strength and cunning to marshal huge numbers of the population to join their murderous schemes. The pre-millennial war will bring Israel to repentance, and Adonai Himself will destroy Gog and Magog with confusion, thunder, hail, blood, and lightning (Ezek 38-39). In other words, an amalgam of Egypt and Assyria's judgments. Psalm Two is traditionally associated with Gog of Magog: Why are the nations in an uproar and the peoples devising a vain thing?The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,“Let us tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from us!” He who sits in the heavens laughs, the Lord scoffs at them. Then He will speak to them in His anger and terrify them in His fury, saying, “But as for Me, I have installed My King upon Zion, My holy mountain.” (Ps 2:1-6) The commentators note that in this attack of Gog, it revisits an important precedent in Babel: at the tower of Bavel, the united conspirators agreed to attack Heaven itself. As a result, YHVH confused them, and the 70 languages of the nations were born. This is the traditional location of Nebuchadnezzar's golden statue. Amalek in the Torah portion Balak is referred to "first of the nations," in other words, the first to openly rebel against Heaven itself by attacking Israel in the wilderness; this "first" attack was also the first direct attack against Heaven since the "nation of mankind" attempted to penetrate it rebelliously at the Tower of Bavel. At the final attack of Gog from Magog, the nations will once again undertake to assemble and attack YHVH and Messiah DIRECTLY, thinking the Holy City Jerusalem has a “Patron” who will defend it. They believe this was the wicked Amalekite Haman's fallacy, attacking the Jews first instead of their God. Something will cause them to believe they have the wherewithal to wage war directly against YHVH and King Messiah. What do Gog and Magog have to do with the third “awakening” of the winds?

The King of Bavel sends a delegation to find out more about the miraculous events

Rav Yosef Chaim (1835-1909), better known by his popular work Ben Ish Chai, was an important leader of the Baghdad Jewish community of the 19th century, whose influence reached across the Ottoman Empire and beyond. Having grown up in the rabbinical aristocracy of Baghdad, he succeeded his father's position in 1859, serving the Jewish community for the next half century. This was primarily through his masterful oratorical skills, which he delivered twice daily, every Shabbos and on special occasions to the entire community. He wrote tens of works on the entire gamut of Torah literature, and financed his own publication costs to have them printed in Jerusalem. He made a historic journey to the Land of Israel in 1869, and at the end of his life inspired the Calcutta based philanthropist Yosef Avraham Shalom to fund the establishment of the famed Porat Yosef yeshiva. His innovative halachic methodology influences the world of Sephardic psak until today.   Subscribe to Jewish History Soundbites Podcast on: PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/ or your favorite podcast platform Follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites For sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history or feedback contact Yehuda at:  yehuda@yehudageberer.com  

A story is brought of Nahum ish Gamzu and how he is saved from death by the Romans on account of magical dirt that came from the dirt that Avraham used against the four kings, which magically turned into swords. What was the generation of those who built the Tower of Bavel try to accomplish? What were the acts of Sodom? God gave them everything they could want, which made them self-sufficient, leading to arrogance, which led to their isolationist policy.    They mainly engaged in two categories of trangressions - not treating guests properly and perverting justice.  There is a debate about Korach and his followers - whether they are deserving of the World-to-Come. The Gemara extrapolates the names of the people in Korach's group and explains how On ben Pelet didn't rejoin Korach's group on account of his wife's actions.

[Who's Who: Nachum Ish Gamzu] (He turned dirt into gold, after all!). The generation of the Tower of Bavel - and what they did so wrong that they lost their portion in the World to Come. Namely, what did they do in building that tower?! War? Idolatry? And the people of Sodom, and their terrible behavior that lost them their portion in the World to Come - specifically, how they became so inhospitable. Plus, how far they went in punishing those who were in the least bit charitable.

We don't pray to remove excess rain (EY vs Bavel), Hashem sends perfectly calculated rains "b'itam" and examples of the effects

We'll be back with a whole new season of How God Works starting in early March. But in the meantime, we wanted to share a few shows from our archives that speak to some of the most pressing challenges we're all facing today.Hate and prejudice based on ethnicity, religion, gender and sexual orientation are all too common in our world. But are we doomed to be this way? Or is it possible to create a world where cooperation and peace are the norm?Join Dave as he talks to NYU professor Jay van Bavel about the deeper mechanisms at work when it comes to group conflict (and how to avoid it), and with Zen Buddhism teacher Larry Ward about how the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh and the Plum Village Tradition can help all of us to heal and foster a more equitable and caring world.Jay Van Bavel is co-author (with Dominic Packer) of The Power of Us: Harnessing Our Shared Identities to Improve Performance, Increase Cooperation, and Promote Social Harmony. Find out more about Jay's work on his website.Larry Ward is a co-founder of The Lotus Institute and host of the podcast Beyond the News, which explores current events through the lens of Buddhism and neuroscience. He is also the author of America's Racial Karma: An Invitation to Heal.The gathas heard in this episode are taken from Thich Nhat Hanh's book Peace Is Every Breath: A Practice for Our Busy Lives. Dave also makes reference to the 14 mindfulness trainings, which can be found in the book Interbeing, 4th Edition: The 14 Mindfulness Trainings of Engaged Buddhism.

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we speak with Rabbi Dr. Haym Soloveitchik—a pioneer and leader in the study of the history of Jewish law—about how halacha mediates our relationship to God in 2025.We've already spoken with Dr. Soloveitchik in our Halacha series, but a closer reading of his essential work, "Rupture and Reconstruction," demands that we explore it more deeply. In this episode we discuss:Why do Jews feel bound by the Talmud in a multicultural world? What does it mean to live in a society that increasingly learns from books and online rather than from mimetic tradition?Is a sense of security as a People a breeding ground for unnecessary social differences?Tune in to hear a conversation about how we might ensure a more vibrant environment for Jewish life to thrive in a changing world. Interview begins at 5:03.Rabbi Dr. Haym Soloveitchik graduated from the Maimonides School which his father founded in Brookline, Massachusetts, and then received his B.A. degree from Harvard College in 1958 with a major in history. After two years of postgraduate study at Harvard, he moved to Israel and began his studies toward an M.A. and PhD at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, under the historian Professor Jacob Katz. He wrote his Master's thesis on the halacha of gentile wine in medieval Germany. His doctorate, which he received in 1972, concentrated on laws of pawnbroking and usury. He is considered a pioneer and leader in the study of the history of Jewish law.References:Rupture and Reconstruction: The Transformation of Modern Orthodoxy by Haym SoloveitchikCollected Essays: Volumes I, II, and III by Haym SoloveitchikJews and the Wine Trade in Medieval Europe: Principles and Pressures by Haym SoloveitchikRabbi Joseph B.

Parshas Noach, Faith Over Fear The Parsha Perspective is in honor of Eretz Yisroel.  May G-d protect our brave soldiers.  May G-d return all the hostages in Gaza immediately.      The Parsha Perspective is in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia. May their souls be uplifted and their memories a blessing.  Click here to listen, watch and connect! Parshaperspective.com Our Parsha introduces Noach, a man who remained steadfast in his faith in G-d while society around him descended into chaos and anarchy. G-d informed Noach that a Mabul (flood) would soon destroy all of civilization, sparing only Noach and his family, who would find safety within a Teivah, an ark he was instructed to build.  Noach received detailed dimensions for the ark and was commanded to bring seven pairs of each kosher animal and a pair of each non-kosher animal. We find the intention of the Builders of the Tower of Bavel. We learn the lack of power our enemies actually have.
