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.

The English text is as follows：２月の後半では、学生リーダー（Co-Director）として活動するButtonsさんと、社会人として医療現場での経験を持ち、キャンパーの保護者でもあるBiscuitさんが、Student LeaderとAdvisory Boardそれぞれの視点からCamp Kesemの意義や学生たちの姿について語ります。 Buttonsさんは、好きな映画『Coraline』にちなんでこのKesemネームを選びました。困難に向き合いながらも前に進む強さ（レジリエンス）と、自分の意志を貫く姿勢に共感しているそうです。現在はCSULBの最終学年で、CellMolecular Biology and Physiology（細胞分子生物学・生理学） を専攻し、化学を副専攻 として学んでいます。卒業後は1年間の準備期間を経て、PA（Physician Assistant）スクール への進学を目指しています。   Biscuitさんは、亡くなられた旦那様が呼んでくれていた大切な愛称をKesemネームにし、今もその記憶を身近に感じながら活動されています。Long Beach（カリフォルニア）の病院で、分娩（Labor and Delivery）部門のPatientCare Assistantとして14年間 勤務。現在は、WhittierのRioHondoで看護学の前提科目を履修中で、来年以降の看護プログラムへの出願を目指しています。また、CampKesem at CSULBではキャンパー（参加する子ども）の保護者として関わり、コミュニティを支えています。   それぞれの人生経験と想いを背景に、CampKesemに関わる理由や、子どもたち・学生リーダーたちへのまなざしを語っていただきました。 https://www.kesem.org/ In the second half of our February episode, Buttons,who serves as a student leader (Co-Director), and Biscuit, who brings professional experience from the healthcare field and is also a Kesem camper parent, share their perspectives as a Student Leader and an Advisory Board member—reflecting on the meaning of Camp Kesem and what they see inthe students involved. 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.

The city of Long Beach is facing major financial consequences due to two large settlements made regarding potholes. Noel Laupua fractured her ankle from stepping into a 10-inch wide and 3-inch deep pothole in March 2021 that had been unrepaired since 2015. Long Beach City Council approved a $500,000 settlement for Laupua. The second settlement was made with Eva Vallin who fractured her ankle in multiple potholes outside of a supermarket. This fracture caused Vallin to develop the neurological condition Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. The jury awarded her a settlement of $17.5 million. On Wednesday, Nov. 27 at around 7 p.m. a woman was struck and killed by a Long Beach transit bus. The accident happened on Shoreline Drive where the road merges into the 710 freeway. The woman passed away on the scene and the police have ruled out speed, distracted driving and impaired driving as potential causes of the accident.  This Thanksgiving, a multitude of Democrat and Republican politicians were targeted with bomb threats and swatting attacks. Five of Trump's cabinet appointees as well as five congressmen from the state of Connecticut all received bomb threats at their family residences. Thankfully, everyone was unharmed and no explosives were detonated or found in any of the homes. The famous Parisian Notre Dame Cathedral was destroyed in a fire five years ago in 2019. On Friday, Nov. 29 after years of cleaning, rebuilding and restoration, French President Emmanuel Macron gave the public the first look inside the partially restored building. The British parliament has voted to legalize assisted dying, making the United Kingdom one of the few nations to do so. The passing of this law allows adults with terminal conditions and less than six months to live the choice to take a substance that ends their lives. The patient must be able to make the decision themselves and two doctors and a judge must sign off on the paperwork.

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 proposed 2024-2025 budget for Long Beach will be $3.6 billion. With an 11 percent increase from last year's budget, Long Beach residents can anticipate higher utility bills and increased pricing in city-wide fees such as paid- parking. Last Tuesday, Sept. 10, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris faced off in the 2024 presidential debate in Philadelphia. Many topics were discussed throughout the debate including the economy and taxes, abortion, immigration, the environment and housing. Vice President Harris is hoping for another debate while the former president made a clear statement on Truth Social, “KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD. THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” Although the former president feels no need for another debate, his running partner JD Vance will have a debate with Harris' running mate Tim Walz on Oct. 1. Last Wednesday, Sept. 11 Hurricane Francine made landfall in Louisiana. New Orleans suffered 7.33 inches of rain and over 140,000 homes lost electricity. At one point, 500 residents were staying in emergency shelters. The hurricane calmed down as it moved towards Mississippi and landed there as a tropical storm. 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. Tuheitia's youngest daughter, Ngā Wai hono i te pō, has risen to take the throne. 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. Due to the fires, over 10,000 species of animals and plants are at high risk of extinction. Brazil says this is its worst fire in 20 years.

"Hey Lifeguard, are there sharks out there?!" Dr. Chris Lowe, a distinguished figure in marine biology and the Director of the Shark Lab at California State University, Long Beach. He brings over 35 years of expertise in studying sharks, rays, and bony fishes, focusing on their behavior, physiology, and ecology. For the past 15 years, he and his students have delved into the world of juvenile white sharks along the southern California coast. Utilizing cutting-edge technology and educational tools, Dr. Lowe and his team collaborate closely with lifeguards and the public to demystify the lives of sharks and clarify the actual risks they may pose. Dr. Lowe holds a BA in Marine Biology from Barrington College, an MS in Biology from CSULB, and a PhD in Zoology from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. His groundbreaking research has been showcased in Discovery Channel, National Geographic, BBC, and PBS programs, solidifying his role as a leading authority on sharks. Today, we delve into how Dr. Lowe's research on sharks and stingrays has not only fueled our understanding of marine biology but also directly contributed to public safety measures. We explore the evolving perception of sharks—from fear to reverence—and the critical role that data plays in bridging perceived risk with actual risk. Dr. Lowe discusses the unexpected intersections of increasing shark activity and human presence in our oceans, shedding light on why sharks may or may not pose a threat to humans.Lastly, we address an urgent matter: the CSU Long Beach Shark Lab, where Dr. Lowe's vital research takes place, faces challenges in securing funding. We urge our listeners to consider supporting the Shark Lab in any way they can to ensure continued research and conservation efforts.

This site hosts audio only. To see the video of this special episode, please go to, https://youtu.be/8NdUlrhpjHkMarie is an internationally exhibited painter. Her oil paintings address the tension of urban landscape and the natural world. Inspired by frequent walks through various trails and open spaces in California, her work reveals her observations of the changes and dynamics of nature in the face of the ongoing climate crisis. Engaging notions of abstraction, her work references the surrounding landscape using atmospheric color shifts, fragmented imagery and multiple viewpoints to suggest the ideas of flux, change and instability in the environment. Marie taught painting and color theory at CSULB for 30 years, where she developed an Advanced Studies in Color class.June is a recipient of the COLA Fellowship, the Guggenheim and the California Community Foundation, Fellowship for Visual Artists.  June uses abstract painting to explore how color, repetition, movement, and balance can serve as conduits to spiritual contemplation and interpersonal connection to her African-American roots. Exploring the psychological construct of skin color or tone through pattern and abstract painting has proven to be a revealing gesture and these ideas are explored in her two ongoing series: the Energy Wheel Paintings inspired by her meditation practice and her Flag Paintings, which explore the alignment of multiple identities such as race, nationality, gender, or political leanings.  June's public art works include a Venetian glass mosaic at the Metro Pacific Station in Long Beach Influences: Marie has two main influences: first, the New York abstract school where her formalist abstract artist teachers were students of the pivotal figure in Abstract Expressionism, Hans Hoffman. That experience that has always remained with her. Second, were her teachers Elmer Bishoff and Joan Brown at Berkeley, members of the "second generation" of the Bay Area Figurative Movement. Marie always loved the California painting of Richard Diebenkorn and Wayne Thiebaud and the landscape expanse.June's influences include Varnette Honeywood, Romare Beardon, Jacob Lawrence, Charles White, David Hockney and Alma Thomas. Another influence was the 1976 LACMA show ‘Two Centuries of Black American Art.' These works had a profound, formative impact upon June. Other inspiration/explorations have drawn from cultural and African American historical references, sacred geometry and very recently, the Benin emblem of the river leaf.Find more information at: www.mariethibeault.com  and www.luisdejesus.com/artists/june-edm

The United States has resumed deportation flights to Haiti, despite ongoing concerns over the country's political instability.

Because of these complications, the U.S. had paused deportations to the country. However, last Thursday, immigration officials sent about 50 Haitians back to their home country on deportation flights.
