This series is sponsored by our friend, Danny Turkel. This episode is sponsored by Ari Bergmann in appreciation of Adina's work and scholarship.In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Rabbi Eric and Dr. Adina Yoffie about their journey as a family through ideological differences. Rabbi Yoffie is the President Emeritus of the Union for Reform Judaism and his daughter Adina is a Modern Orthodox editor and writer. As Adina journeyed to Modern Orthodoxy, she also had to navigate the implications of her observance to her Reform family, and how she could live by her newfound truth without disrupting her family life. - How does one best respect religious approaches other than their own?- How does one take a principled stand without making someone within their own family feel like their own lives and their own practice does not have any standing?- How did Adina's Orthodoxy affect Rabbi Yoffie's approach to Reform Judaism? Tune in to hear a conversation about seeing legitimacy in another camp at the same time while holding on to one's own beliefs and convictions. Interview begins at 16:09Rabbi Eric H. Yoffie (father) is a Reform rabbi, and President Emeritus of the Union for Reform Judaism. Since retiring in 2012, he has been a lecturer and writer; his writings have been published in The Huffington Post, The Jerusalem Post, and Haaretz. Dr. Adina M. Yoffie (daughter) is a tutor, editor, and writer living in Manhattan. She earned a Master's and PhD in European History from Harvard University and a Bachelor's in History from Princeton. She has published in the leading journals of her field and has received a Fulbright Award to Germany.Adina can be found at https://www.adinayoffie.comReferences:Mishna Halachos by Rav Menashe KleinThe Formation of the Talmud: Scholarship and Politics in Yitzhak Isaac Halevy's Dorot HaRishonim by Dr. Ari BergmannOp-Ed: Judaism is always ‘tikkun olam' — and more by Eric YoffieKosher USA: How Coke Became Kosher and Other Tales of Modern Food by Roger HorowitzThe Rebbe's Army by Sue FishkoffThe French Enlightenment and the Jews by Rabbi Dr. Arthur HertzbergThe Fate of Zionism by Rabbi Dr. Arthur HertzbergJudaism, Human Values, and the Jewish State by Yeshayahu LeibowitzWords on Fire: The Unfinished Story of Yiddish by Dovid Katz

Support this podcast Nazis are bad! The Communists who defeated them are good! Somehow, this is massively confusing to Alberta Premier Jason Kenney!

In Radio Free Winnipeg's third episode on Fascism & antifa Scott and Greg interview historian John Paul-Himka about the national narratives used by Ukrainian Nationalist groups both in Ukraine and in Canada that not only glorify war criminals and Nazi collaborators but trade in historical revisionism. John Paul-Himka is professor emeritus at the University of Alberta https://www.ualberta.ca/history-classics/people/emeriti/himka Scott and Greg discuss why the Ukrainian national myths are important both domestically and in terms of wider geo-political trends as well as discuss similar trends around the western world. Why have these nationalistic narratives become more common and why do they find a wider audience today? How do Fascist groups use these narratives to their own advantage?

As described by Dovid Katz, Yiddish is an extraordinarily multifaceted language: a language that is at once acclaimed as sacred and dismissed as deficient, profoundly connected to centuries of religious and cultural history yet marketed superficially, held to be dying out yet booming at an unprecedented rate. Yiddish and Power (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015) charts the fascinating, complex course of the language, and discusses its development, spread, displacement, and how it has been threatened by pressures towards assimilation in many diverse ways. As we discuss, this history illustrates and challenges important ideas about the interplay between language, power and identity.
