Guvernul își asumă azi răspunderea pe 5 proiecte. Reforma administrației publice, amânată la cererea PSD. Coaliția nu se întelege pe tăierile de posturi (SpotMedia) - CNAS vrea să scumpească cele mai populare medicamente pentru o suferință frecventă, din cauza căreia mor cei mai mulți români (HotNews) - Institutul pentru Studierea Holocaustului ”Elie Wiesel” cere Primăriei București să revoce autorizarea mitingului de marți, al organizației extremiste neolegionare Noua Dreaptă (G4Media) - Miza discuțiilor de luni între șefa Comisiei Europene cu președintele Dan, ministrul Apărării și militari, la Baza Aeriană M. Kogălniceanu (Europa Liberă) Guvernul își asumă azi răspunderea pe 5 proiecte. Reforma administrației publice, amânată la cererea PSD. Coaliția nu se întelege pe tăierile de posturi (SpotMedia) Guvernul își va asuma astăzi, în Parlament, răspunderea pe cinci proiecte de lege din Pachetul 2 de măsuri fiscale, anunță SpotMedia. Coaliția de guvernare nu a reușit nici duminică să ajungă la un acord privind reforma administrației publice locale, singurul proiect din Pachetul 2 de reforme care nu a fost convenit până acum. După cinci ore de discuții, ședința coaliției s-a încheiat fără consens. Partenerii din coaliţie au convenit că trebuie reduse posturile din administraţia centrală şi locală, însă nu s-a convenit exact asupra modului în care va trebui făcut acest lucru. Astfel, premierul Bolojan își va asuma răspunderea în fața Parlamentului pe restul de cinci proiecte, într-o ședință ce are loc, luni, 1 septembrie, de la ora 19.00: proiectul de lege privind pensiile magistraților; proiectul de lege privind reforma în sănătate; proiectul de lege privind guvernanța corporativă a companiilor de stat; proiectul de lege privind unele măsuri fiscale pentru sustenabilitatea financiară a României și eficientizarea activității unor autorități administrativ autonome (ANCOM, ANRE și ASF): proiectul de lege cu noile taxe și măsuri fiscale de la Ministerul de Finanțe. Cristian Grosu / Capitalismul și democrația României desenate de Ceaușescu (CursDeGuvernare) Toate măsurile de reformă prin care guvernul actual ”dă țara peste cap” (pe bună dreptate, că țara asta chiar trebuie dată peste cap) se vor dovedi inutile peste 5-7 ani, când vom ajunge în aceeași situație financiar-bugetară de astăzi, scrie jurnalistul Cristian grosu, redactor șef al publicației electronice CursDeGuvernare. Asta pentru că reformele sunt aplicate pe o matriță greșită, iar ele se ”vor strâmba la loc” odată cu trecerea timpului. Cât de mare e miza? 47% din populație și 87% din tetritoriu se află în ”responsabilitatea” administrației locale rurale. Totul pleacă de la fundamental-inadecvata administrație a României – o structură care afectează toate celelalte structuri de servicii pe care statul e obligat să le asigure economiei și societății: e România desenată administrativ de Ceaușescu și care nu poate funcționa decât sub regimul Ceaușescu. Doar 1,3% din localități rurale au venituri proprii mai mari decât cele de funționare, astfel încât să rezolve problemele curente ale comunităților – restul sunt bani dirijați. CNAS vrea să scumpească cele mai populare medicamente pentru o suferință frecventă, din cauza căreia mor cei mai mulți români (HotNews) Casa de Asigurări de Sănătate a anunțat că vrea să scadă nivelul de compensare pentru unele dintre cele mai utilizate medicamente prescrise în tratarea bolilor cardiovasculare, ceea ce înseamnă un preț mai mare plătit de pacient.  CNAS spune că e vorba despre 13 medicamente, medicii spun că, de fapt, este vorba despre sute. În comunicat, CNAS spune că e o creștere de 9 lei pe cutie de medicamente, sumă contrazisă de reprezentanți ai medicilor de familie și ai pacienților, în dialogul cu HotNews.  Ministrul Sănătății spune că ar fi „total aberant” ca „după ce am introdus plata CASS pentru pensionari, să îi obligăm să scoată alți bani din buzunar la farmacie”. 48% dintre românii cu vârsta între 30 și 79 de ani suferă de hipertensiune arterială, o boală care, dacă nu este ținută zilnic sub control cu tratament, duce la complicații grave, precum atac de cord sau accident vascular cerebral, arată un raport al Organizației Mondiale a Sănătății din anul 2023.  Institutul pentru Studierea Holocaustului ”Elie Wiesel” cere Primăriei București să revoce autorizarea mitingului de marți, al organizației extremiste neolegionare Noua Dreaptă (G4Media) Institutul ”Elie Wiesel” cere Primăriei București să revoce autorizarea mitingului organizației extremiste neolegionare Noua Dreaptă. Manifestarea de extremă dreapta ar urma să aibă loc marți, împotriva ”rasei non-albe”, conform organizației citate. Organizația este interzisă prin lege conform OUG 31/2002 împotriva manifestațiilor xenofobe. Mitingul, împotriva ”rasei non-albe”, va avea loc la câteva zile după ce un livrator Glovo a fost lovit de un tânăr pe motive rasiale, în urma unui mesaj xenofob al parlamentarului partidului extremist AUR Dan Tănasă. Agresorul se află în arest preventiv în momentul de față, amintește G4Media.  ”Solicităm oficial primarului Municipiului București să revoce autorizarea pentru mitingul organizat de Noua Dreaptă în 2 septembrie. Manifestările de discriminare sunt interzise de legea penală și Constituția României!”, a transmis Institutul Național pentru Studierea Holocaustului din România ”Elie Wiesel”. Șeful Noua Dreaptă, Tudor Ionescu, printre cei mai radicali extremiști din România, a intrat în Parlament pe listele partidului extremist pro-rus SOS România, condus de Diana Șoșoacă, ex-AUR. Este interesantă, în context, analiza publicată de EduPedu. Conform lui Șerban Iosifescu,  acolo unde educația a eșuat, a înflorit legionarismul naționalist și ortodoxist. Harta votului aurist se suprapune cu harta nivelului de educație a populației. Iar Libertatea scrie astăzi despre comerțul cu cărți legionare, la liber pe internet.  Achiziționarea materialelor legionare se poate face foarte ușor dacă ai o conexiune la internet și câteva sute de lei în cont. Pe unul din grupurile de extremă dreapta prezente pe Telegram, am găsit un anunț prin care se vindeau zeci de cărți „Din lumea legionară” - scrise de Victor Puiu Gârcineanu, nou-nouțe, cu prețul de 25 de lei/bucata.  Miza discuțiilor de luni între șefa Comisiei Europene cu președintele Dan, ministrul Apărării și militari, la Baza Aeriană M. Kogălniceanu (Europa Liberă) România este ultima țară din cele șapte state care au graniță cu Rusia sau Ucraina în care președinta Comisiei Europene, Ursula von der Leyen, ajunge în aceste zile. Turneul ei vine înainte ca Executivul de la Bruxelles să anunțe ce proiecte de apărare va finanța prin programul SAFE. Președinta Comisiei Europene, Ursula von der Leyen, a anunțat deja duminică, 31 august, la plecarea din Polonia, că această țară va beneficia de cei mai mulți bani din programul în SAFE (Acțiunea pentru securitatea Europei) în valoare totală de 150 de miliarde de euro. România și Bulgaria se află în competiție pentru găzduirea unui hub de securitate la Marea Neagră, hub ce va fi finanțat de Uniunea europeană. La începutul mandatului de președinte, Nicușor Dan a declarat că România vrea ca acest hub să fie pe teritoriul său și va cere Comisiei să aprobe acest lucru. Surse apropiate discuțiilor au precizat pentru Europa Liberă că Guvernul Uniunii nu a decis încă unde va fi acest hub prevăzut în strategia Uniunii Europene pentru Marea Neagră, document despre care Europa Liberă a scris pe larg.

Steve and Cat talk about summer heat and humidity. Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel is our one tough SOB. The Netflix sit-com "Leanne" is our What Ca Watchin. Cocktail of the week is Amalfi Martini. Band of the week is Billy Fury.

Mark 15:33-39When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. At three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sebacthani!" Which means, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" When some bystanders heard it, they said, "Listen, he is calling for Elijah." And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a stick and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see if Elijah will come and take him down." Then Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last. And the curtain in the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. Now, when the centurion who stood facing him saw that in this way he had breathed his last he said, "Truly this man was God's son." When I was a kid, we had a giant pit of sand and dirt in our back yard – about the size of our fire pit, over there next to the labyrinth. We cleverly called it the "Sand Pile" and it was a cheap, tasteless, makeshift version of what more sophisticated people would call a sand box, and we used it for sand castles, mud pies, dirt-track races for Matchbox cars, and whatever else kids who play in the sand, do in the dirt. (I think the Sand Pile started out as some sort of home improvement project at the church parsonage where we lived, but never amounted to anything, so my brother and I, along with our friends next door, co-opted it as a great place for little kids to play.)What made the Sand Pile cooler than your average sandbox, though, was that it wasn't self-contained. There were no sides, no cover, and no barrier underneath. One day, our neighbor friend had the brilliant idea that we should dig and just keep digging until we couldn't dig anymore. We knew this was going to take some time and I think the four of us decided to make it a summer project. Sometime after we started, I remember my dad coming home from work and noticing that we were up to something more ambitious than usual. When he asked what we were doing, we told him our plans and my friend declared that we were going to dig "all the way to Kingdom Come." We weren't very sophisticated, but we were ambitious.And so we dug a little bit each day, for days. We found worms and bugs and rocks of all kinds. We hit water one day, which meant we were really getting somewhere, so that was cool. And then one of us had the realization that if we kept digging long enough, we'd dig our way right into Hell and we wondered if maybe that wasn't such a great idea. We did keep digging, but the expedition ended shortly after that, either because we were scared or skeptical or just plain tired of shoveling. But that was the first time I ever remember considering something like the question someone offered up for this morning:"Do we have to believe in Hell in order to believe in Heaven?”When I was older, in High School, and learned about World War II and the Holocaust, I wondered if that might be Hell: the injustice and horror of concentration camps; the gas chambers, the torture, the attempted genocide. Elie Wiesel, likely the most famous survivor of the Holocaust asked once, "How [do you] explain or even describe the agony, the terror, the prayers, the tears, the tenderness, the sadness of the scientifically prepared death of six million human beings? … Six million human beings sentenced to death by an evil dictatorship not because of their faith or their circumstances but because of their very being." It sounded – and sounds, still – like Hell to me, even if it wasn't someplace you could dig your way into.When I visited all kinds of jails and prisons in college, I wondered if the smell and the heat and the sounds and the danger and the circumstances that led and keep a person there might be Hell.When I worked as a hospital chaplain for a summer during seminary, I remember a guy who had been burned on over 80% of his body. That looked like Hell, and I wondered if Hell was the sickness, disease, and disasters that consume and kill men, women, and children every minute of every hour of every day in the world. When I traveled with my family and then with our high school kids a couple of summers ago to the Whitney Plantation, in Edgard, Louisiana, where enslaved human beings were used and abused and tortured and killed, like worthless animals, for generations – Hell seemed very nearby.Is Hell the war in Ukraine? Is it the famine, starvation, and destruction in Gaza? Is Hell a cancer diagnosis or is the rigors of chemotherapy or radiation – even if they work, but especially when they don't? Is Hell a broken or breaking marriage; the death of a child; any kind of unbearable physical pain or emotional suffering? Is it paralyzing fear; hopeless loneliness; utter despair?With all of my questions, I guess you can tell that I don't think about Hell in the same way I did when I was digging around in the dirt as a child. But, from what I can tell, too many people – preachers, theologians, artists, and politicians – haven't moved beyond the sandbox. We hear too often, in my opinion, detailed images of Hell. You know them as well as I do: pictures of fire, deep dark places, chains and shackles perhaps, weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth, for sure, and the little guy in the red suit with a pointy tail and a pitch fork with the capacity to inflict pain and suffering on his victims for all of eternity.And these same people will tell you how to get there faster than any shovel can dig. Instructions usually include breaking the rules or not having enough of the right kind of faith or 'doing faith' differently than what's expected or accepted or, generally, behaving in ways that make God angry enough to send you ‘there' instead of calling you home to the right side of eternity.But I don't think any of this is what Hell is like or where it's at. Which is why I picked the readings I did for this morning. There are plenty of references in the Bible to Sheol and the Pit, to Hades and the Abyss. There's lots of talk about fire and punishment and the outer darkness – much of it from the very lips of Jesus himself.But nowadays, when I think of Hell, I think about the crucifixion and death of Jesus on that Good Friday afternoon. And it's not because of the abuse or the spitting or the whips or the thorns. It's not because of the darkness or the nails or the cross itself, even. It's because of the way all of these things added up to leave him hanging there alone, crying at the top of his voice, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?" (Theologians call it Jesus' “cry of dereliction,” and it's why we say, as we do in our Apostles' Creed, that Jesus indeed “descended into Hell.”)It's at that moment when Hell becomes more real and more scary than any pitchfork or fire pit, if you ask me. It's at that moment when Jesus experiences what many of us have known – or what we fear – more than anything else: being utterly alone, utterly afraid, utterly out of control, cosmically lost, and entirely without hope or faith or comfort – even from God.It's at that moment when Jesus himself knows fully the hell of every concentration camp victim, every prisoner, every enslaved person, every frightened soldier, every starving stomach, every struggling addict, every dying patient, grieving spouse, scared child, broken heart, and sin-sick soul that ever was or ever will be. "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"So back to the question at hand. I was asked pointedly, if “we” believe in Hell, which seems to include the questioner, myself, and other leaders and pastors and theologians of the ELCA. I won't speak for others, because I can't – that's part of the beauty of what it means to be an ELCA-flavored Lutheran, in my opinion. But I will tell you that, I don't very much think about Hell anymore these days.If it does exist, it's not a concern of mine, because I believe it's been conquered and undone, dismissed and destroyed by the work of God's love in Jesus Christ – for me, and for you, and for all of creation. You can cite for me every Scripture and verse there is about Hades and Sheol, about the outer darkness and The Pit. But I believe there is a Hell the way I believe there are K Pop concerts, hot dog eating contests, and white pride parades. They may very well exist, but I don't – and won't – ever have to show my face there, thanks be to God.We can find plenty of pictures in the Bible and elsewhere to scare each other into believing that Hell is as likely an option as Heaven or that damnation is as likely as grace. And there are lots of pastors and churches who will fan that fire with gusto and glee, but that's not what the Gospel promises. To suggest that we can faithfully choose Heaven… To suggest that we can faith-LESS-ly opt for Hell… To suggest that we can reject God's willingness to love us all the way through Hell and back and remain in our sin and death, despite God's clear desire to win us back… is to suggest that God is powerless over evil, that God is powerless over death, that God is powerless over Sin, that God isn't all God is cracked up to be and that the very death and resurrection of Jesus was a cosmic waste of God's time. And I don't buy it.I don't buy it because when Jesus cried, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me,” he was quoting the first line of Psalm 22, which he knew well. So he must have known how Psalm 22 ends, just the same – with the hope of God's promised dominion, deliverance, power and provision. Verse 24 promises, “He did not despise or abhor the affliction of the afflicted; he did not hide his face from me, but heard when I cried to him.” By invoking Psalm 22, what if Jesus wasn't just announcing his despair and descent into Hell's separation? What if he was declaring his hope for the Heaven that was to come, just the same?My adventure in the Sand Pile as a kid that summer didn't end just because we were scared of what we might find. I think it ended because, even as kids, we realized our digging wasn't leading us anywhere but down – and that's exhausting. It didn't take us long to learn that there was more life and fun and good news in the other direction – and that's where we chose to spend our days.Which is why and how and what we believe about Hell matters for our lives in this world.When our faith is motivated more by fear than it is by hope, we're heading in the wrong direction. When it comes to our journey of faith, I hope we'll remember and share as often as we can that the Gospel is about life conquering death. The story of Jesus is about God conquering Satan. The promise of our faith is that Heaven conquers Hell – whether we like it, would choose it, or not. And the call of our faith is to live and to love our way into Heaven, not to run away from a Hell that isn't ours to fear any longer, thanks to the God we know in Jesus Christ, crucified and risen for the sake of the world.Amen

The Underworld is the place where you broke bread with Baba Yaga, made peace with limit, were fed small scraps of meat by crows when you needed it the most. It's the deep dip in a myth, the katabasis, the descent, the mischievous, startling bewilderment of irrational energies. Logic has little traction at such a moment. Successful returnees of the Underworld are Blake, Anna Swir, Patti Smith, Elie Wiesel. Sometimes we make these journeys alone, sometimes as a culture.My petition is that we accept the challenge of uncertainty. As a matter of personal style. It's the right thing to do. It's what the Anglo-Saxons called “living in the bone-house.” We get older, we find life is riven with weirdness. We should be weird too. To know, tell, and create stories is a wondrous skill that keeps faith with the traditional and beauteous techniques our ancestors used when faced with the sudden mists and tripwires of living. —Martin Shaw

Comisia Europeană prezinta astazi propunerea sa de buget pentru perioada 2028-2034. Inițiativa marchează începutul unor negocieri intense între Comisie, statele membre și Parlamentul European care vor dura doi ani. Imediat, cu explicatii, corespondentul RFI la Bruxelles, Mihaela Gherghisan.     Revoltă la Iași după ce anumite tronsoane din autostrăzile A7 și A8 au fost eliminate din PNRR Asociația Moldova vrea autostrada a trimis o scrisoare deschisa adresata premierului Ilie Bolojan si cere garantii că Autostrada A8 se va construi până în anul 2030. Director executiv la Asociația Pro Infrastructură, Ionut Ciurea spune care mai sunt sunt solutiile in acest moment. Un raport al Institutului Național pentru Studierea Holocaustului din România “Elie Wiesel” evidențiază o creștere fără precedent a extremismului de dreapta in perioada electorala mai 2024-aprilie 2025 Documentul atrage atenția și asupra sprijinului tacit – sau uneori deschis – din partea unor instituții religioase și administrative. Directorul general al institutului, Alexandru Florian, explică avansul curentului antisemit. Programul Rabla pentru persoane fizice va fi reluat curând, însă cu un buget mai mic, de 200 de milioane de lei Vor fi cu siguranţă discuţii legate de vouchere, pentru că există diferenţe foarte, foarte mari între un voucher pentru o maşină electrica si una termica, iar in contextul economic dificil aceasta diferenta se va micsora, spune ministrul Mediului. Un interviu in aceasta seara.

Acts 11:1-18; Revelation 21:1-6; John 13:31-35The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is notugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And theopposite of life is not death, it's indifference.” ― Elie Wiesel

"Als iets de mensheid redden kan, dan is het wel het geheugen,” zei Auschwitz-overlevende Elie Wiesel. Een tijd is de Shoah het fundament geweest onder onze morele opvattingen, maar er lijkt betonrot in het fundament te zijn geslopen. Hebben we een gedeelde herinneringscultuur nodig om het enigszins met elkaar uit te houden? Als het geheugen een medicijn is kan een overdosis ook ziek maken. En als de politisering van herinneringscultuur onvermijdelijk is, is die herinneringscultuur dan niet gewoon een vorm van politieke strijd? Onder leiding van Arnon Grunberg onderzoeken denkers in een speciale aflevering het belang van pijnlijke herinneringen. Deze aflevering werd opgenomen tijdens de Nacht van de Filosofie Amsterdam. Meer over de aflevering en de gasten vind je op onze site. (https://www.human.nl/het-filosofisch-kwintet/kijk/overzicht/Seizoen-2025/aflevering-1.html)

Elie Wiesel is een Joodse schrijver en winnaar van een Nobelprijs. Deze aflevering gaat niet alleen om wijsheid, om profetische wijsheid, maar ook over de vraag: Hoe wordt je zelf een wijze?  Veel jonge generatie snakken naar mensen die hen wijsheid kunnen overdragen. Mensen die ouder zijn, die iets geleerd hebben in het leven, die niet bitter zijn geworden of materialistisch, en die laten merken dat ze jou zien en je iets kunnen leren.  Wij hebben nood aan inspirerende stemmen, die ook een morele stemmen zijn, die een gewetensfunctie belichamen en die het lawaai van schreeuwers en onnozele bestuurders overtroeven met iets heel anders. Die misschien autoritaire stemmen tot de orde kunnen roepen? Die zich uitspreken tegen geweld, die het verdriet durven benoemen en die een ander visioen in hun ogen hebben. Deze aflevering gaat over generaties, en over een stimulerende dynamiek tussen jong en oud in het overdragen van wijsheid.

Rabbi Jack Riemer is a master story teller and preacher and one of the most frequently quoted rabbis in the U.S. who artfully describes the relevance of timeless Jewish wisdom in our modern world. He is often referred to as the “rabbi's rabbi” among Jewish clergy, because he has taught and mentored so many of his colleagues.  The late Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel wrote: "Jack Riemer's words are songs of hope and faith. Listen to them as I do." Rabbi Riemer is rabbi emeritus of Congregation Beth Tikvah (now Shaarei Kodesh) in Boca Raton, Florida. He is co-author, with Rabbi Elie Spitz, of Duets on Psalms: Drawing New Meaning From Ancient Words. To inquire about an autographed copy, contact Ben Yehuda Press. Rabbi Riemer is also the author of Jewish Insights on Death and Mourning Finding God in Unexpected Places: Wisdom for Everyone from the Jewish Tradition and coeditor of So That Your Values Live On: Ethical Wills and How to Prepare Them.Rabbi Riemer's retelling of a story about Rabbi Paul Plotkin is found in Rabbi Paul Plotkin's book, The Lord Is My Shepherd: Why Do I Still Want?Here is an excerpt in which Rabbi Paul Plotkin shares in his own words the story that Rabbi Riemer refers to in the podcast.  Thank you to Rabbi Paul Plotkin for granting permission to share this excerpt. For more about Natan Sharansky, see his memoir Fear No Evil. Check out the other podcast hosted by Rabbi Ed Bernstein: My Teacher Podcast. Check out the other podcast hosted by Rabbi Ed Bernstein: NeshamaCast: the Podcast on Jewish Spiritual Care, produced by Neshama: Association of Jewish Chaplains. 

Filmmaker and director Oren Rudavsky discusses “Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire,” which screens this week as part of the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival.

This week we're excited to present a conversation from the 2025 edition of the New York Jewish Film Festival with Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire director Oren Rudavsky and co-producer Annette Insdorf. This conversation was moderated by Rachel Chanoff. With his unforgettable and shattering 1958 memoir Night, Elie Wiesel forever changed the way the Holocaust would be written about. A survivor of Auschwitz and Buchenwald as a teenager, the Romanian-born Wiesel became an international spokesperson and renowned author, eloquently transforming his trauma into literature of the highest and most profound order. In this enthralling new documentary, filmmaker Oren Rudavsky goes deeper into Wiesel's philosophically abundant inner life, depicted with nuance and tenderness, and enriched by access to his personal archives. In many ways a private man despite being one of the most public voices of Holocaust remembrance, Wiesel is presented here in newly intimate ways known only to his closest friends. Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire stands as a crucial testament to an extraordinary man who helped shape our collective memory of the darkest chapter of the 20th century.

The Maidservant's Vision: Redefining Jewish Experience and Philosophy Our latest Madlik Disruptive Torah episode challenges conventional wisdom about Jewish history and philosophy. Exploring the concept of "root experiences," we delve into how a simple maidservant's vision at the Red Sea can reshape our understanding of Jewish thought and practice. Background and Context The episode centers on Parashat B'shalach, specifically the Song of the Sea in Exodus 15:1. This iconic moment in Jewish history is recited daily in morning prayers, underscoring its significance. Geoffrey Stern and Rabbi Adam Mintz examine various interpretations of this passage, focusing on a particular Midrash that claims a maidservant at the Red Sea saw more than even the greatest prophets. This seemingly innocuous Midrash becomes the springboard for a profound discussion on post-Holocaust Jewish philosophy, drawing on the works of Emil Fackenheim, Martin Buber, Elie Wiesel, and Yitz Greenberg. Key Insights and Takeaways 1. The Power of Collective Experience The episode emphasizes the unique aspect of Jewish tradition that values collective experience over individual revelation. Unlike other religions founded on the visions of a single prophet, Judaism's foundational moments involve the entire community. This perspective challenges us to reconsider the importance of communal participation in religious and cultural experiences. 2. Redefining historical perspective and theology The Midrash's assertion that a maidservant saw more than the prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel challenges traditional hierarchies of religious knowledge. It suggests that direct experience can trump even the most sublime visions. Geoffrey explains Fackenheim's interpretation: "After the Holocaust, we can no longer run away from those... inconvenient truths of good and evil, those inconvenient truths of what happened to God's chosen people. We cannot escape into the world of philosophy and Kabbalah." This idea invites us to question our assumptions about wisdom and authority, especially in the face of profound historical events. 3. The Concept of "Root Experiences" Fackenheim introduces the idea of "root experiences" - pivotal moments in Jewish history that shape the collective consciousness. These experiences are characterized by: - Involvement of the multitude - Transformation of earthly reality, not just heavenly visions - Ongoing impact on future generations - Inspiring action and change This framework offers a new lens through which to view Jewish history and tradition, emphasizing the ongoing relevance of past events. Challenges and Practical Advice 1. Embracing Contradiction Fackenheim argues that Jewish thought, particularly Midrashic thinking, thrives on contradiction. Rather than seeking to resolve these tensions, we should embrace them as reflective of the complex nature of human experience. Fackenheim writes: "Midrashic thinking cannot resolve the contradictions in the root experience of Judaism, but actually expresses them. Midrashic thought, therefore, is both fragmentary and whole." This perspective challenges us to move beyond black-and-white thinking and embrace the nuances of our traditions and experiences. 2. Balancing Tradition and Contemporary Challenges The episode grapples with the challenge of honoring Jewish tradition while remaining responsive to modern realities. Fackenheim warns against making Judaism "absolutely immune to all future events except Messianic ones," arguing that this approach dismisses the challenges of contemporary events. Instead, we're encouraged to engage with our traditions in a way that allows for growth and adaptation in response to new circumstances. 3. Redefining the Importance of Historical Events The discussion suggests that the literal historical accuracy of events like the splitting of the Red Sea may be less important than how these stories have shaped Jewish consciousness over time. Geoffrey explains: "What makes the Jewish people, what guarantees its future, what gives us hope and faith, is that we can still look at the Red Sea event and look at it from the perspective of 2000 years of Jews who have reacted to it, 2000 years of Jews who can talk about it without even talking about the historical event." This perspective invites us to engage with our traditions not as fixed historical facts, but as living, evolving narratives that continue to shape our identities and values. What We Learned About Jewish Philosophy and Experience This episode of Madlik Disruptive Torah offers a profound reimagining of Jewish thought and experience. By exploring the concept of "root experiences" and the power of collective memory, it challenges us to reconsider our approach to tradition, wisdom, and contemporary challenges. The discussion invites us to: - Value collective experiences over individual revelations - Recognize wisdom in unexpected places - Embrace contradiction as a source of depth and meaning - Engage with tradition in ways that remain responsive to modern realities - See our sacred texts and stories as living, evolving narratives As we grapple with the complexities of modern Jewish identity and the ongoing impact of historical traumas like the Holocaust, and ongoing conflicts, these insights offer a framework for engaging with our traditions in meaningful, transformative ways. Whether you're a scholar of Jewish philosophy or simply curious about new perspectives on tradition and experience, whether you're secular or religious, this episode provides valuable food for thought. We encourage you to listen to the full discussion and continue exploring these ideas in your own study and practice.

"If God lived in our neighborhood, we'd throw stones through His [sic] windows." I do not know who originally said that, though I think that the original was in Yiddish. But, it's true. And, if you were to ask me whether Jewish worship has a "design flaw," I would say that this is it: almost nowhere in our services do we get to yell at God, and to protest God's actions and in-actions. We want our worship experiences to be uplifting and inspirational. But, we are missing out on the emotional richness and depth of the religious experience. Yes – joy, gratitude, uplift. But, anger and questioning are part of any healthy relationship. Where is that in our prayer experience? This is a crying shame -- and I emphasize "crying." Because crying out at God, and yelling at God, and protesting God is a distinctive part of Judaism and Jewish texts. It goes back to Abraham, who protested God's planned destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah; Moses, who protested God's threatened destruction of the Israelites at the incident of the Golden Calf; Job, who demanded justice from God; the author of the Psalms, who has a lot to say about God's actions and silence -- all the way to Tevye ("I know we are your chosen people. But, once in a while, can't You choose someone else?") to Elie Wiesel.... In fact, that is the original meaning of the term "chutzpah." It means audacity -- against, and with, God. This is the essential, sacred lesson of a new, spectacular book by Menachem Rosensaft -- "Burning Psalms: Confronting Adonai after Auschwitz.” Menachem is an attorney in New York; the founding chairman of the International Network of Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, and most notably, had been active in the early stages of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

How to find hope? Remembrance is a powerful tool. Jan shares the story of the creation of International Holocaust Remembrance Day taking place this week the world over, and how the children of Terezin help us remember darkness as a pathway to light."Hope is like peace. It is not a gift from God. It is a gift only we can give one another."Elie Wiesel

Today is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. In recognition of this, please listen to this re-release of an interview I did with Holocaust survivor, Gene Klein. In the spring of 1944, a teenage Gene Klein and his family were taken from their village in Hungary and thrown into the infamous Nazi extermination camp known as Auschwitz. His father was taken straight to the gas chamber. Klein was forced into slave labor until liberated in the spring of 1945, and he spent two years as a refugee before his and other family members were allowed to immigrate to the United States. “Eventually, I decided that, like [Elie ] Wiesel, I needed to be public about being a survivor and that, in my own small way, I should contribute to the mission of educating the world about the Holocaust,” he wrote.“I will tell our story,” he continued, “and I will speak — especially in these times — about the tolerance and compassion necessary to prevent what happened to us from happening to others.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On January 27, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, people around the world will remember the six million Jewish people who perished at the hands of the Nazis. This date was chosen, as it was on January 27, 1945, that the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp was liberated—80 years ago.In the aftermath of the Holocaust (Shoah in Hebrew) the Jewish people vowed, “Never forget.” But as host Yael Eckstein and her special guest Elisha Wiesel discuss on this special podcast, an alarming number of adults today know nothing about the Holocaust.Elisha brings a unique perspective to the conversation as the only son of Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Holocaust survivor, and author of Night, his renowned memoir of survival in the Nazi death camps. Elisha's father survived the Holocaust, including Auschwitz, where his mother and little sister were murdered.And on this podcast, a son shares his father's legacy, not only as a passionate humanitarian, but as a proud Jew who wanted to bring light to the dark places in our world.

Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Ambassador Stuart Eizenstat who delivered a eulogy at President Jimmy Carter's funeral at the Washington National Cathedral. Ambassador Eizenstat shares about Carter's domestic and international successes including the Camp David Accords and how the former president's sincere words and developed personal relationship made an impact to key principals when the talks were about to fail. Carter's tireless efforts led the foundational cornerstone for treaties with Israel's Arab neighbors including Jordan and later through the Trump Administration's Abraham Accords. Ambassador Eizenstat also shares about his personal friendship with the former president. He was at Jimmy Carter's side from his political rise in Georgia through four years in the White House, where he served as Chief Domestic Policy Adviser. He was directly involved in all domestic and economic decisions as well as in many foreign policy ones. The conversation on America's Roundtable also brings to the forefront President Carter's bold economic reforms and how he came to be called the "Champion of Deregulation" by former Senator Phil Gramm (R-TX), a fiscal conservative leader. In an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal, Senator Gramm stated, " The Carter administration began oil-price deregulation using its regulatory powers and set in place the gradual deregulation of natural-gas prices with the 1978 Natural Gas Policy Act. And while the deregulation of the communications industry was driven by technological change, court decisions, regulatory action and finally legislation, the Carter regulatory reform through the Federal Communications Commission made competition the driving force in the development of policy. Energy deregulation, championed by Mr. Carter and then by Ronald Reagan, produced abundant oil and gas supplies." Brief bio: During a decade and a half of public service in six U.S. administrations, Ambassador Eizenstat has held a number of key senior positions, including Chief White House Domestic Policy Adviser to President Jimmy Carter (1977-1981); U.S. Ambassador to the European Union, Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade, Under Secretary of State for Economic, Business and Agricultural Affairs, and Deputy Secretary of the Treasury in the Clinton Administration (1993-2001). His recommendation to President Carter to create the Presidential Commission on the Holocaust headed by Elie Wiesel led directly to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, for which he is recognized as a key founder. Ambassador Eizenstat is an author of "President Carter: The White House Years" and "The Art of Diplomacy" During the Trump administration, he was appointed by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as Expert Adviser to the State Department on Holocaust-Era Issues (2018-2021). In the Biden administration, serving as Special Adviser to Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Holocaust Issues, he played a major role in the negotiation of the Best Practices for the Washington Principles on Nazi-Confiscated Art (2024), now supported by 25 countries. He was appointed by President Biden as Chairman of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Council (2022-present). Since 2009, he has served as pro bono Special Negotiator for the Jewish Claims Conference in negotiations with the German government, obtaining billions of dollars of benefits for poor Holocaust survivors, for home care, social and medical services, enhanced pensions, hardship payments, child survivor and Kindertransport survivors, special supplemental payments for the poorest of the poor, and worldwide educational benefits. americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

Elie Wiesel, Nobel Prize winner and Holocaust survivor, once told Michael Goldfarb of people going to their deaths at Auschwitz asking who will say Kaddish for me? Kaddish is the Jewish prayer for the dead. On the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz' liberation Michael Goldfarb explores the origins and meaning of Kaddish. How did a prayer for the dead, in which death is not mentioned, become the centrepiece of Jewish mourning?

“For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is to bear witness for the dead and for the living. He has no right to deprive future generations of a past that belongs to our collective memory. To forget would be not only dangerous, but offensive.” These are the immortal words of Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel. You are about to hear the enduring words of Aviva Siegel. Aviva was a hostage in Gaza. Aviva's husband, Keith Siegel, is still a hostage in Gaza. At six in the morning on October 7th, fifteen terrorists shot their way into Aviva and Keith's home. Aviva's primal scream reached the heavens. The terrorists shot Keith, and they broke his rib.Soon thereafter Aviva and Keith, still in their pajamas, were forced at gunpoint to enter their own car. The kidnappers drove to Gaza where more terrorists, people with sticks, mothers, children, and even elders and babies lined the streets, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Jews from the nearby kibbutz, who were immediately forced underground, into dark tunnels, into captivity.And since then, for more than 440 days, Keith has been trapped, numbed, beaten, starved, tortured, asphyxiated, drained, psychologically battered, and the inexhaustible list of atrocities continues.In this episode, Aviva Siegel shares her harrowing experience of being held hostage in Gaza by Hamas. She recounts the traumatic events that began on October 7th, when terrorists invaded her home, shot her husband Keith, and took them both captives.Aviva details the ordeal of being moved between multiple locations, subjected to brutal treatment, and the continuous fear and uncertainty they faced. She speaks about the deep love for her husband and her relentless hope for his return, as well as her belief in the power of love and humanity despite the atrocities she witnessed.The episode also delves into her life before the kidnapping and her dedication to teaching young children. Calling for unity and compassion, Aviva voices a heartfelt plea for peace and the return of all hostages.Preorder Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/Episode Links:Bring them home now: https://stories.bringthemhomenow.net/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok

Relevant Verses: John 18:33–19:5; 19:17–27; 20:1–18 Theme: The Crucified and the Risen Jesus In his book Night, Elie Wiesel describes a scene from the concentration camp in Auschwitz: One day, as we returned from work, we saw three gallows, three black ravens, erected on the Appelplatz. Roll call. The SS surrounding us, machine guns aimed at us: the usual ritual. Three prisoners in chains – and, among them, the little pipel, the sad-eyed angel. The SS seemed more preoccupied, more worried, than usual. To hang a child in front of thousands of onlookers was not a small matter. The head of the ...

I cover a little Slavoj Zizek, Elie Wiesel and the important of questions in a healthy religious practice. Buy this book! Loved it!!

Today I talked to Ewa Bacon about her book Saving Lives in Auschwitz: The Prisoners' Hospital in Buna-Monowitz (Purdue UP, 2017). In a 1941 Nazi roundup of educated Poles, Stefan Budziaszek--newly graduated from medical school in Krakow--was incarcerated in the Krakow Montelupich Prison and transferred to the Auschwitz concentration camp in February 1942. German big businesses brutally exploited the cheap labor of prisoners in the camp, and workers were dying. In 1943, Stefan, now a functionary prisoner, was put in charge of the on-site prisoner hospital, which at the time was more like an infirmary staffed by well-connected but untrained prisoners. Stefan transformed this facility from just two barracks into a working hospital and outpatient facility that employed more than 40 prisoner doctors and served a population of 10,000 slave laborers. Stefan and his staff developed the hospital by commandeering medication, surgical equipment, and even building materials, often from the so-called Canada warehouse filled with the effects of Holocaust victims. But where does seeking the cooperation of the Nazi concentration camp staff become collusion with Nazi genocide? How did physicians deal with debilitated patients who faced "selection" for transfer to the gas chambers? Auschwitz was a cauldron of competing agendas. Unexpectedly, ideological rivalry among prisoners themselves manifested itself as well. Prominent Holocaust witnesses Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi both sought treatment at this prisoner hospital. They, other patients, and hospital staff bear witness to the agency of prisoner doctors in an environment better known for death than survival. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today I talked to Ewa Bacon about her book Saving Lives in Auschwitz: The Prisoners' Hospital in Buna-Monowitz (Purdue UP, 2017). In a 1941 Nazi roundup of educated Poles, Stefan Budziaszek--newly graduated from medical school in Krakow--was incarcerated in the Krakow Montelupich Prison and transferred to the Auschwitz concentration camp in February 1942. German big businesses brutally exploited the cheap labor of prisoners in the camp, and workers were dying. In 1943, Stefan, now a functionary prisoner, was put in charge of the on-site prisoner hospital, which at the time was more like an infirmary staffed by well-connected but untrained prisoners. Stefan transformed this facility from just two barracks into a working hospital and outpatient facility that employed more than 40 prisoner doctors and served a population of 10,000 slave laborers. Stefan and his staff developed the hospital by commandeering medication, surgical equipment, and even building materials, often from the so-called Canada warehouse filled with the effects of Holocaust victims. But where does seeking the cooperation of the Nazi concentration camp staff become collusion with Nazi genocide? How did physicians deal with debilitated patients who faced "selection" for transfer to the gas chambers? Auschwitz was a cauldron of competing agendas.

Our guest this week is Richard Behar, an award-winning investigative reporter who spent 15 years chronicling the life of Bernie Madoff, the mastermind behind the largest Ponzi scheme in history. Behar is the author of the newly released blockbuster book Madoff: The Final Word. Before Madoff died in prison, Behar and Madoff had more than 50 phone conversations, exchanged more than 300 emails, and met face-to-face three times. When Madoff was arrested in December 2008, his decades-long scam unraveled, revealing approximately $68 billion in purported assets across nearly 5,000 client accounts. In stark contrast, Madoff had less than $300 million, having swindled countless victims, including banks, charities, colleges, pension funds, and notable individuals such as Steven Spielberg, Sandy Koufax, Kevin Bacon, and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel. On this week' episode, Behar shares how Madoff sustained his scam for decades, the many people who facilitated his fraud, why his investors were so gullible, and what steps everyone should take to avoid falling victim to swindlers. As an exclusive bonus, listeners will hear two short private phone conversations between Behar and Madoff, recorded during Madoff's incarceration at a federal prison in Butner, North Carolina. Behar, honored as one of the top 100 business journalists of the 20th century, has received more than 20 major journalism awards. He previously worked on the staff of Forbes, Time, and Fortune. He also contributed reporting to CNN, PBS, and the BBC. If you believe you could never be tricked like thousands of Madoff's trusting investors were, you need to listen closely to this week's episode. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

As the war in Europe was winding down in the spring of 1945, exhausted troops probably thought they were immune to being shocked. But knowledge of the atrocities committed in Nazi concentration camps was on the horizon. Nothing could have prepared them for that. Hank Josephs of Corpus Christi served in Intelligence & Reconnaissance during the war and recalls checking out reports of a concentration camp near the town of Dachau in late April of '45: "We got there, and the first thing we saw was a sign over the entrance which says, Work Will Make You Free, ‘Arbeit Macht Frei.' We went through the gate, and we shot a few Germans. They were escaping. I looked at the—at the prisoners in their striped garb, so filthy and decimated. One of them moved. And I went over to him, and he said, ‘Bist a Yid?' Are you Jewish? I said, ‘Ich bin a Yid.' I am Jewish. And then I told him, ‘Alles geet. Alles geet.' I speak a little Yiddish. ‘Alles geet. Alles geet.' All is good. All is good. And I opened my C ration and fed him a little soup. And I asked him what his name was. He said, ‘Meine namen ist Herman.' ‘Ich.' My name is Herman, too. He died two hours later in my arms." Wilson Canafax of Fort Worth was a member of the 1110th Engineer Combat Group and heard about the Buchenwald concentration camp shortly after it was liberated. He decided to go see what it was and describes encountering a former inmate: "Before I got to the front entrance, there was a young fellow, came up to me speaking perfect English. And he said, ‘I see you have a cross on your lapel. Are you a chaplain?' I said yes. He said, ‘Think you could do us a favor?' I said, ‘Well, I can try.' It turned out that this person talking to me was the young fellow Eliezer Wiesel, who's known better today as Elie Wiesel. And he said, ‘I'd like to take you through some parts of the camp here.' Went through the main entrance, and as you've heard the expression ‘dead men walking,' that's the way the people looked. I went to several of them, some who could speak English, and I'd talk a little bit with them." Canafax explains he also led Jewish worship services, which was the second request of the young man: "So many of them had—wanted nothing to do with religion, but those who were genuine in their faith and there was the opportunity to come to a worship service, they came. We got our carryalls, those big trucks, and put the people who could be carried in those things to a place where we could have a worship service. They had to be lifted on. They had to be carried on, crying. They never thought they'd be alive. And we had some little prayer books that were distributed among those that wanted them. And on one side of it was Hebrew, Hebrew prayers. The other side was English. So as they went through the service in Hebrew, then I could follow along in English itself. They cried. They shouted. When they got through, they just raising hands, sort of like our Pentecostals today raise their—they were just raising their hands in joy." When the Nazi camps were liberated in Europe, Americans were encouraged to visit them, creating thousands of witnesses to this dark chapter of history. This edition of Living Stories was made possible by a grant from the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission to the Institute for Oral History. Josephs recalls the first time he entered the infamous gate into Dachau Concentration Camp. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
