Today on the podcast we invite Professor Jeffrey Blutinger - professor of Jewish Studies at CSULB about his new book on Heinrich Graetz!Discover the story of one of the most influential — yet largely forgotten — figures in Jewish intellectual history: Heinrich Graetz.

We unpack how Graetz's groundbreaking work made Jewish history accessible to everyday readers—and why his ideas still influence how we think about Jewish identity today.Featuring insights from a leading scholar, this episode explores:- The origins of modern Jewish studies- The tension between religion and peoplehood- The role of history in shaping identity- The hidden roots of modern Jewish thought- The goals of the field of Jewish Studies- And much moRe#jewishthought #jewishhistory #jewish #judaism Heinrich Graetz, #Haskalah, Jewish Enlightenment, Jewish identity, Zionism, Jewish philosophy, religion vs identity, Jewish studies, 19th century history, Judaism explainedIf you're interested in Jewish history, philosophy, or the evolution of identity in the modern world, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

Buttons chose her Kesem name inspired by her favorite movie,Coraline. She resonates deeply with Coraline's resilience—and her stubborn determination to keep going. Buttons is currently in her final year at CSULBand will graduate with a bachelor's degree in Cell & Molecular Biology and Physiology, with a minor in Chemistry. After graduation, she hopes to take a gap year and then apply to PA (Physician Assistant) school.   Biscuit chose her camp name because it was the sweetestnickname her beloved late husband used to call her—a way to keep his memory close and alive. She has worked for the past 14 years as a Patient Care Assistant in the Labor and Delivery Department at a hospital in Long Beach, California. She is currently completing her nursing prerequisites at Rio HondoCollege in Whittier, CA, with hopes of applying to a nursing program next year.Biscuit is also a Camper parent with Camp Kesem at CSULB and continues to support the community alongside student leaders.   In this conversation, they share the personal stories behindtheir Kesem names, what brought them to Kesem, and the heart behind supporting kids and student leaders through this meaningful mission.

The English text is as follows: 2月前半のゲストは、Camp Kesem at Long Beach State University（CSULB）で活躍する大学生リーダー、Nickolas “Nova” Dominguezさん（Co-Director）と、Christina “Bean” Beltranさんです。 https://www.kesem.org/ Camp Kesemは、親ががんと闘っている、またはがんで亡くした子どもたちに向けて、年間を通じて無償の支援を提供する全米規模の非営利団体です。中心となるプログラムは、6歳から18歳の子どもたちを対象とした1週間の宿泊型サマーキャンプです。 Novaさんは、高校生の頃にお母様が「トリプルネガティブ乳がん」と診断されたことをきっかけにKesemと出会い、キャンパーとして参加。その経験から「今度は自分が恩返しをしたい」とカウンセラーを経て、現在はCo-Directorとして活動されています。 Beanさんは、ご両親にがんの経験はないものの、家族の中でがんが身近な存在だったことからKesemのミッションに強く共感。大学2年生の時に参加し、今では「Kesemのない人生は考えられない」と語ります。 同じCSULBでSTEM分野を学ぶお二人が、Camp Kesemに関わる理由、学生リーダーとしての想い、そして子どもたちに届けたい「安心できる居場所」について、リアルに語ってくれました。ぜひ最後までお聴きください。 In the first half of our February episode, we welcome two student leaders from Camp Kesem at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB): Nickolas “Nova” Dominguez (Co-Director) and Christina “Bean” Beltran. Camp Kesem is a nationwide nonprofit organization that provides free, year-round support for children who have been impacted by a parent's cancer—whether their parent is currently battling cancer or has passed away. One of its core programs is a one-week residential summer camp for children ages 6 to 18. Nova first connected with Kesem in high school after his mother was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, joining as a camper. Motivated by a desire to “give back,” he later became a counselor and now serves as a Co-Director. Bean was strongly drawn to Kesem's mission because cancer has always been prevalent in her family, even though neither of her parents has had cancer. She joined during her second year of university and says she truly can't imagine life without Kesem. In this episode, Nova and Bean—both CSULB students studying STEM-related majors—share why they got involved with Camp Kesem, what it means to lead as students, and the “safe place to belong” they hope to create for children and families. We hope you enjoy the conversation. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

This month Mary had the opportunity to meet up with Dr. Jane Close Conoley, who, since January of 2014 was the first woman appointed as permanent president of California State University Long Beach. After nearly 50 years in higher education, we caught Jane on the cusp of her retirement.Just prior to coming to Cal State Long Beach, Jane served as dean of the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education at the University of California Santa Barbara. Along with serving as dean, she was professor of counseling, clinical and school psychology.Before Santa Barbara, Jane served as dean and professor of educational psychology at Texas A&M University (1996-2005) and associate dean for research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Teachers College (1989-94). In addition, she held faculty positions at Texas Woman's University and Syracuse University. Jane is the author or editor of 22 books and has written more than 100 chapters, refereed journal articles and technical reports. Her areas of primary interest are interventions with families, and with children with disabilities - especially children with serious emotional disturbance and aggressive children and youth. Her most recent work investigates the application of the science of positive psychology in educational settings.By the time you're the president of a major University, you've got plenty of credibility. Jane is at the same time a person of great integrity, creativity and heart. You'll hear all of that in their conversation.[Note from MMC - This was an especially gratifying episode for me. Back when I was in my early 20's, Jane recognized me as someone she could mentor. Because of her confidence in and encouragement of me, I've moved through my own academic career and into the work I do now, here on this good Earth, with all of you. I am forever grateful to and for Jane Conoley.]You can learn more about Jane by checking out the Cal State University Long Beach website. Especially this link focused on her generous service to CSULB. And here's a link to a pdf on positive psychology in educational settings that Jane co-authored with her husband, Collie W. Conoley.And make sure to consider how you can identify approach goals for your own action in support of climate repair. The initiatives of Jane's University and the city of Long Beach are inspiring. Acting locally - even as locally as our home and family, makes a difference. Thanks to each of you for refusing to give up. Our choices to do what we can where we can come together with those of people around the globe to truly matter.MUSICRolled Ankles. Music by Nicholas Panek from PixabayJazz Background 333352.

Due to these fires over 100,000 people within three counties have been evacuated. These fires have burned over 111,000 acres of California vegetation, forest and wildlife. The San Bernardino County District Attorney stated that the Line Fire was an act of arson and that three fire-igniting tools and devices were found at the origin of the fire. The suspect was tried in court last Friday with nine felony counts. Last Tuesday, Sept. 10 Long Beach City Council met to pass the new city budget.

The eighth Māori monarch was crowned last week following the passing of King Kiingi Tuheitia. The death of the former king, who passed at 69 years old, radiated through many people.

The 27-year-old is the second female Māori Queen in history after her grandmother.   Not only are we seeing wildfires locally here in Southern California but wildfires are also raging in Brazil with over 20 percent of the Amazon Rainforest being burned.
