In this episode of Parenting Is a Joke, comedian and late-night writer Rob Kutner (The Daily Show, Conan, The Tonight Show) joins Ophira Eisenberg to talk parenting while producing comedy—and building epic Lego cities. Rob shares how his son's rediscovered passion for Lego led to an IKEA-based organizing hack courtesy of his wife, complete with color-coded bins and DIY design books. He reflects on raising a sophisticated 12-year-old boy with a penchant for Frank Sinatra and Pokemon, and preparing for his upcoming bar mitzvah. Rob also opens up about balancing parenting with his writing career, including the unexpected silver lining of unemployment after the Tonight Show implosion—precious bonding time with his daughter. He and Ophira compare their anthropological backgrounds, unpack how Lego obsession evolves with age, and discuss the not-so-glamorous realities of parenting in New York. Rob also talks about his new book The Jews: 5,000 Years and Counting, offering surprising stories from Jewish history—including a Jewish sorceress in Yemen and an Ethiopian Jewish state—and pushes back on tired stereotypes about wealth and power. This episode is rich with hilarious parenting truths, obscure historical gems, and very sharp Donatello action figure fists. Thank you to Lumen for sponsoring this episode!

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Beejhy Barhany, the founding owner and executive chef of Tsion Cafe, an Ethiopian and Israeli restaurant in New York.    “Ethiopian Jewish food is just a little bit of everything,” Barhany explains. “It's an array of an abundance of flavors … packed with nutrients.”   Her new cookbook, “Gursha” is a celebration of Ethiopian Jewish (Beta Israel) cuisine. It features more than 100 recipes, along with stories and traditions, from the places she has lived: Ethiopia, Sudan, Israel, and Harlem. The recipes in “Gursha,” which is is loosely translated as “mouthful” or “the act of feeding one another,” range from traditional dishes (Doro Wot, Shakshuka, Legamat [Sudanese doughnuts]) to ones that Barhany created (Berbere Fried Fish, Injera Fish Taco, Queen of Sheba Chocolate Cardamom Cake).    “I encompass a lot of heritages and cultures and what have you, and that is actually showcased on the menu [and] in the cookbook,” she says.    Beejhy Barhany talks about her background, Ethiopian Jewish cuisine - including some recipes, and the power of food from different cultures. She also shares her recipe for Ethiopian Matzah, which you can get at JewishJournal.com/podcasts.   Barhany believes food is a wonderful tool to bring people together, as well as to engage and learn about each other's cultures.    “Once you are open to tasting a particular group of flavors and dishes, I think you will have a better understanding [of one another],” she says. “I would say my offering is to have food as a medium of peace, harmony, and understanding and respect.”   Learn more at TsionCafe.com.

A conversation between filmmaker Sosena Solomon, designer and urban scholar/theorist Mpho Matsipa, and anthropologist Natacha Nsabimana.  This episode was recorded at e-flux Screening Room before a screening of Merkato, curated by Natacha Nsabimana. Sosena Solomon's Merkato is a documentary tracing the lives of four people as they navigate the demands of life and work in one of the biggest markets in Africa in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Filmed on location in Merkato, before a radical architectural transformation, Solomon's documentary invites us to ask expansive questions about space, architecture, transition, and preservation. Sosena Solomon is an Ethiopian-American social documentary film and multimedia visual artist whose work explores cross-sections of various subcultures and communities in flux, carefully teasing out cultural nuances and capturing personal narratives through arresting visual storytelling. Solomon has worked for many years in the commercial and nonprofit sectors as a director and cinematographer on many short film projects, including Dreaming of Jerusalem, a Discovery-plus original documentary about the Ethiopian-Jewish community in Gondar, and Merkato. She has exhibited work at the Sundance Film Festival, Cinema Africa, Tribeca, and DOC NYC. She earned her BA in Television Production from Temple University and her MFA in Social Documentary film from the School of Visual Arts. Solomon is currently lecturing in the Fine Arts Department at the University of Pennsylvania's Stuart Weitzman School of Design, and working with the Metropolitan Museum of Art to create new digital and in-gallery content that will reframe the Museum's African art galleries. Mpho Matsipa is an educator, researcher, and independent curator.  Matsipa holds a PhD in Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley, pursued as a Fulbright Scholar. She has curated several exhibitions, discursive platforms, and experimental architectural research including the Venice International Architecture Biennale (2008; 2021); African Mobilities at the Architecture Museum, Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich (2018); and Studio-X Johannesburg, in South Africa (2014–16). Her curatorial and research interests are at the intersection of urban studies, experimental architecture, and visual art. Mpho is an associate curator for the Lubumbashi Biennale, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (2024) and she teaches History and Theory at SCI-Arc. Natacha Nsabimana teaches in the anthropology department at the university of Chicago. Her research and teaching interests include postcolonial critique, musical movements, and the cultural and political worlds of African peoples on the continent and in the diaspora. The African Film Institute aims to create a home and a place of intimacy with African cinema in New York, through developing gradually and organically a viewing program animated by fellowships; a growing library; an active writers' room; and an expanding catalog of recorded dialogs. The African Film Institute draws from the visual cultures that view cinema as an evening school: a popular information system in the service of education, aesthetic experience, and public dissemination—employing a methodology concerning the use of cinema's collective production, and investing in viewing methods informed by different uses of time, visual and textual histories, and social struggles and hopes in mutuality between their own locality and the world at large. The African Film Institute is convened by Christian Nyampeta and hosted by e-flux Screening Room.

Scientifically sound, randomized experiments can be expensive and difficult to run. But there's an alternative: It turns out that certain real-life situations can also generate useful scientific data. The trick is finding them.In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at how events outside of our control can create opportunities for so-called natural or accidental experiments. The organizers of a heroic airlift transporting thousands of Ethiopian Jews to Israel broke the record for the flight with the most passengers. It was 1994, and the clock was ticking for Israeli intelligence personnel and leaders of the Ethiopian Jewish community as they worked to transport as many people as possible before the civil war closed in on Addis Ababa. This desperate effort, dubbed Operation Solomon, would change the lives of the Ethiopian Jews in surprising and unintended ways. Stephen Spector is a professor of religions and culture and medieval English at Stony Brook University. He's also the author of Operation Solomon: The Daring Rescue of the Ethiopian Jews.Solomon Ezra is an active member of the Ethiopian and Jewish communities in Portland, Oregon, and was a ground operations leader during Operation Solomon. Donna Rosenthal is the author of The Israelis: Ordinary People in an Extraordinary Land.Next, Katy speaks with Steven Levitt about how to spot natural experiments and why they can provide such unique information about human behavior.Steven Levitt is the William B. Ogden Distinguished Service Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago, co-author of the bestselling book Freakonomics, and the host of a Freakonomics Radio podcast called People I Mostly Admire.Choiceology is an original podcast from Charles Schwab.

Dive deep into the origins of the Red Tent, menstrual huts, birthing caves and womb wisdom. Explore the essence of moon cycles, menstruation and the origin of the Womb Priestess. How can the modern day Red Tent be a source of support, strength and bonding between women? How do we normalize the natural sensuality of women?   Menstrual Huts are still practiced with the Ethiopian Jewish women and the Dogon tribe in Africa who claim to be the descendants of the lost tribe of Dan. The concept of the modern day Red Tent is based on a book by Anita Diamant. In our society we practice moon huts, moon lodges and moon ceremonies where women gather to support each other.     Resources: “The Red Tent” by Anita Diamant  https://www.amazon.com/Red-Tent-20th-Anniversary-Novel/dp/0312427298 Free Red Tent workbook: https://www.mysticharmonyrose.com   Connect with the Goddesses: https://www.goddesswitchwomb.com   Divine Feminine Membership: https://mysticharmonymysteryschool.teachable.com/p/membership   Priestess Path: COUPON CODE FOR 13% OFF: GWW13 https://mysticharmonymysteryschool.teachable.com/p/priestess-path-1

Jewish Congressional Candidate and Chair of Jewish Vote GOP, Cindy Grosz, speaks with Mazi Melesa Philip, the first Ethiopian Jewish woman elected to local office in New York and Sigal Chattah, favored candidate for Nevada Attorney General.

Journalist Nadine Batchelor-Hunt is a black, Jewish woman. She is is fiercely proud of her dual identity - even as recent political discourse around race has meant that she has been forced to defend her identity in ways she's never had to before. She is on a journey to meet one of the oldest, largest and most resilient communities of black Jews in the world: Israel's Ethiopian Jewish minority. Around 140,000 black Ethiopian Jews live in Israel today following several waves of emigration in the 1980s and 1990s. They left everything they knew behind to flee antisemitic persecution in Ethiopia to go the spiritual homeland they had dreamt of for millennia. But for many, that did not mean they felt welcome - with complaints of discrimination, alienation, and even police brutality. Nadine joins the community as they celebrate a Jewish holy day unique to their community - Sigd - a festival where Ethiopian Jews remember the acceptance of the Torah, express their yearning for Jerusalem, as well as celebrate their unique culture and identity in modern Israel. Sitting down in conversation with religious leaders, activists and other members of the community, Nadine explores if she can learn anything about her own sense of self as a Black Jewish woman. And importantly, what can they teach her about accepting her own dual identity in a world that frequently questions it? Photo: Presenter Nadine Batchelor-Hunt in Israel Credit: Candace Wilson/BBC

Sigd is an Ethiopian Jewish holiday older than the Talmud. Oh, yes Horatio, there is far more to our Jewish world than Ashkenaz and Sepharad.

Brhan talked about the meaning of Sigd, her family's journey from Ethiopia, cultural differences between Ethiopian and Israeli society, and whether non-Ethiopian Jews should celebrate Sigd too.

2019's Red Sea Diving Resort  Israel's Mossad agents attempt to rescue Ethiopian Jewish refugees in Sudan in 1979. What a cool story, just told in a bland way.  Cheapseat Reviews: the podcast that explores the Hollywood film industry for the greater good

On this very special episode of Jewanced, Benny and Dan sit down with Naftali Aklum, CEO & Founder of Yerus Project, which passionately educates Israelis and the world about the unique story of Ethiopian Jewry. Recorded live at his home in the Negev city of Be'er Sheva, Naftali takes us on a journey through the mind-blowing history and heritage of this unique Jewish community, from its origins over 2,500 years ago arriving from Jerusalem after the destruction of the 1st Temple to the highlands of Ethiopia. We then hear the incredible one of a kind and deeply moving account of its harrowing aliya-immigration/homecoming to Jerusalem and the Land of Israel as pioneered by his brother, the legendary Mossad agent Ferede Aklum. Ferede's heroic story is the basis for the Netflix hit movie Red Sea Diving Resort, for which Naftali consulted. Naftali then takes us through the present-day realities and challenges of modern life in Israel. Together with Naftali, explore one of the Jewish People's most unforgettable tales of overcoming hardship, realizing age-old dreams, and succeeding beyond all odds. Naftali's story of learning to take pride in his own complex identity is the story of Israel's Ethiopian Jewish community. Finally, listen to Naftali share his personal views on the racial divide in the United States, Black Jewish American identity and some of the current challenges and obstacles facing Black Jews and the broader Jewish community in the U.S. today. This episode is a part of a new collaboration with Tribe Herald, the premier media company focused on Jews of Color and those in the Jewish community whose unique needs and concerns are not always addressed by traditional Jewish media. At Jewanced, we are all about exploring and seeking to understand Israel and the Jewish world from multiple and nuanced perspectives, and to challenge popular conceptions. Therefore, a platform that gives a voice to Jews of Color and those who feel marginalized by the mainstream Jewish community is one we are proud to collaborate with.  After listening to the podcast, make sure to check out the feature article about Naftali and Jewanced on Tribe Herald later this week. http://www.tribeherald.com/?fbclid=IwAR3rNBRBdq2dik1b16eUiK1dc3Y4tXkIGKwCZTFhq9ULF0nLEdZObNfAJJw (www.tribeherald.com) Links: Yerus Project at www.jewsofethiopia.com  Donate to and support the Yerus Project https://my.israelgives.org/en/campaign/SaveYerusproject?fbclid=IwAR1xA4iDwzVmyOr4yPIr1e9ltssPKzkg8FZRxWdUi5TqDYj5Hmen5pah3u8 (here) Tribe Herald's website View and listen to traditional https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIGjv2ERhKY (Ethiopian Jewish music) and prayers as sung by the community's religious leaders, the Kesim.

In this very special edition, Jennifer Abowd provides us with an interview, discussing the Ethiopian Jewish diaspora and all the intricacies of history that followed.

How many acts of heroism never come to public attention because of the modesty of the heroes themselves? This is a first-ever audio interview in English with one such man. His name is "Dani', the Mossad commander in charge of “Operation Brothers” for five drama-filled years from 1978. Without doubt, this is one of Israel's finest hours; a Mossad mission to emancipate thousands of Ethiopian Jews from the dangers of revolution and persecution. But this is also about partnership and brotherhood. Mossad would never have achieved this lethally dangerous, giant humanitarian mission without the equal determination of the Ethiopian Jews themselves, to realise a generational longing to return to Israel, the land of their forefathers. "Dani" only agreed to this interview on condition that his full identity wouldn't be revealed. And while he's partially emerged out of the shadows, I'm told many of his Mossad colleagues remain completely anonymous. “Operation Brothers” was a mission to spirit thousands of Ethiopian Jews out of their remote highland villages to walk hundreds of miles to the hell of a Sudanese refugee camp, whereupon they would begin a perilous exodus to Israel. Some Jews were given passports and papers and flown out of Khartoum Airport, a difficult and dangerous process in itself. But thousands of others were transported hundreds more miles to the Sudanese coast under cover of a plan-sight Red Sea diving resort which Dani and his Mossad agents ran as a genuine hotel while conducting their covert operations. 10% didn’t make it, dying on the exhausting journey. Mossad is famous for spying missions and counterespionage - but this was nothing to do with that. This was a world first for such an organisation: it was purely humanitarian, 700 kilometres behind enemy lines in Sudan which was extremely hostile to Israel at the time.

Overall a decent flick.  It was refreshing to see Chris Evans in something other than the MCU, and reminded us that even without the shield he's a great actor.  The film was a good blend of drama, comedy, and suspense, though at times it felt as though they pushed harder on drama than necessary resulting in some heavy eye rolls.  Based on incredible true events, the film has some power but definitely doesn't do the story justice in the way it was told.  The cast was good and the characters are lovable, but we could have used a bit more building in the first act for sure.  If Steven Spielberg had been behind it, we're positive this thing would have received an A+.   * “Israel's Mossad agents attempt to rescue Ethiopian Jewish refugees in Sudan in 1979...” * Written and Directed By: Gideon Raff Starring: Chris Evans, Haley Bennett, Ben Kingsley * TV-MA | 2h 9min | Drama, History, Thriller | 31 July 2019 (USA) * #Netflix #NetflixOriginal #ChrisEvans #Flixin6 #MovieReviews * Follow us on insta!

Sigd is a holiday celebrated by the Jewish community from Ethiopia every year. It's about Jerusalem and renewing our relationship with God. In this edition of Extra Madness, Meir-Simchah interviews people from Beta Yisrael, the Ethiopian Jewish community, who came up to Jerusalem for the annual Sigd gathering overlooking the Temple Mount, and shares some thoughts. We touch on the importance of sharing our stories and the universal significance of Sigd for all Jews and all people.

This week on #IsraelCast, featured guest Naftali Aklum joins us on the line from his home in Be’er Sheva. Born in Ethiopia, Naftali discusses Ethiopian Jewish history, culture, and the unique challenges faced by Ethiopians living in Israel.

While the Israeli state espouses multiculturalism and diversity, it oppresses not just the Palestinian population, but also any Black person within its borders. From warehousing African asylum seekers in giant prison camps, to criminalizing and carrying out eugenics programs against its Ethiopian Jewish citizens, Israel’s treatment of Black people reveals that the Zionist project is not just about Jewish supremacy, but also white supremacy. In this on-the-ground investigation, Abby Martin talks to Osman Ali, a refugee from Darfur, at Holot prison camp about the treatment of refugees by the government, and Tehune Maharat, an Ethiopian Jewish activist whose cousin was killed in an apparent hate crime by Israeli police, about the rampant and institutional racism in the country.

This Ethiopian Jewish woman tells her amazing story about how she left Ethiopia in 1984, traveled to Sudan and then, with the help of the Israeli military was airlifted to Israel. She describes the challenges she faced in adjusting to Israeli society and how happy she is to be living in an Israeli settlement. She describes the extensive help that the government gave to her to help make these adjustments.
