Rav Simcha Hochbaum grew up on Staten Island, in New York. Beginning in the second grade, when he heard about Avraham's Aliyah in Lech Lecha, he became focused on the idea of returning to the Land of Israel. He and his wife Leah were able to make that happen in 1995, moving to Hevron, the city of our forefathers and foremothers. Parents of six wonderful children, they still live in Hevron and that is where Goel sat to speak with Rav Simcha about his story.

Just imagine if you could sit down and have a cup of tea with the women who've shaped you into the person you are today. Foremothers, mentors, teachers, the women whose wisdom and strength have guided you on your spiritual journey - these are the conversations we are bringing to life in this episode of Spill the Tea. Join us as we share our personal experiences and the lessons we've absorbed. Our discussion isn't limited to the past - we're also looking at the present and the future impact of spiritually evolved women in our lives. We're dissecting the importance of honesty and expression, and how they influence our personal and spiritual growth. Stripping back layers, we're examining the language we use and how our experiences shape our perception of spirituality. We'll also be delving into the myriad ways we can reclaim our narratives and relationships - challenging the idea that we are not worthy, and standing firm in the face of adversity.As we wrap up, we tackle the subject of generational curses and blessings. We're talking about breaking free from expectations, severing toxic connections, and the transformative power of acknowledging generational blessings. We're stepping back to appreciate the women of our past, and stepping forward to the transformative potential of our future selves. So, join us on this enlightening journey - it's time to Spill the Tea! We saved a seat for you.

The Rev. Sarah Stewart, Associate Rector, asked a nearly full congregation, “What might the Holy Spirit want us to see?” in her sermon addressing 2 Kings today. Two characters from the margins are introduced in the scripture: Naaman, a Syrian soldier with leprous skin, and his unnamed household servant, a young girl captured on one of Naaman’s military raids. We met a dangerous foreigner with a stigmatizing health condition and a young woman kidnapped and enslaved by her ethnic enemy. Listen here to find out what they reveal of God’s dreams for human flourishing.

In amateur snapshots and selfies we don't take care with our fashion. We pose in what we decided to wear that day. Now think about when you go to a photo studio. That's entirely different. We dress up and our ancestors did too. They wore their best dress and perhaps a new hat to look their finest, the epitome of the fashion they could afford. Women's magazines told them how to capture a good image and rules often came down to color, fashion, and the skill of the photographer. Related Episodes:Episode 72: A Modern Woman's Fascination with Period DressEpisode 85: Pin Up Photos and Modern WomenLinks:Sign up for my newsletter.Watch my YouTube Channel.Like the Photo Detective Facebook Page so you get notified of my Facebook Live videos.Need help organizing your photos?

Season 3, Episode 7: Reading May Ayim through Poetic Revolutionaries in Berlin This episode opens with spoken word poetess Savannah Sipho reading May Ayim’s poem titled “blues in Schwarzweiß” (“Blues in Black and White”) during a recent critical walking tour in Berlin called Dekoloniales Flanieren, or Decolonial Flaneur (August 21, 2020), organized by the Nachbarschaftsinitiative Anton-Wilhelm-Amo-Straße led by students, scholars, and professors from Humboldt University, which aimed to establish a broad coalition with activists, artists, Institute for European Ethnology, Initiative Schwarze Menschen in Deutschland (ISD), SAAVY Contemporary, and the recently established Decolonize Berlin to mobilize demands to change a racist street name in the Berlin District of Mitte called M*Straße or M Street—which is an abbreviated form of a street name that has been called out for its anti-Black racist language for well over 30 years—where the Institute for European Ethnology and other departments of Humboldt University are also located. After decades of activism and one day before Dekoloniales Flanieren took place, the District of Mitte in Berlin announced on August 20th that M*Straße will be renamed to honor 18th-century philosopher, professor, jurist, and poet Anton Wilhelm Amo. In conversation with Kristyna Comer, Savannah Sipho shares more about her reading of May Ayim’s poem during Dekoloniales Flanieren as well as more about her creative process and the transformative experience of writing and performing poetry while also acknowleding spaces and organizations led by the Black POCs in Berlin that continue to support and empower Black artists.

As we close out this 21-day series, and prepare for the next (yes, there is more of this goodness to come) we end not by looking back, but by looking forward as we examine the life and legacy of the extraordinary writer, Octavia Butler, a Black woman who dared to imagine a future that centered Blackness and the voices and experiences of Black women. The invitation into her sci-fi world was an invitation for all of us to think beyond the drab expectations of a cruel reality that does not see our magic or power, to create a future that makes space for all of our glorious gifts to be on full display. The godmother of Afrofuturism. Octavia Butler was a pioneer who traveled from the future to warn us and prepare us for a time such as this. She knew what would happen if power went unchecked, if the earth continued to be neglected, and if the wealthy were allowed to cannibalize the poor. She knew. And throughout her illustrious career as a science fiction writer, which included her winning every major award in her field, she tried to warn us. Today we listen. Today we acknowledge that an awkward Black girl with an almost paralyzing shyness was given the gift to foretell the future and that she wrote it all down in a series of masterpieces that literally read like a blueprint for survival.Disclaimer: We do not own the rights to the music or speech excerpt played during this broadcast.

Ruby Dee was the zeitgeist of Black womanhood. She was our Ruth in Raisin in the Sun, our Queen in Roots, our Mother-Sister in Do the Right Thing, our Mama Lucas in American Gangster. Ruby Dee's face, her soulful voice, her spirited laughter is the very epitome of Black cinema. Her Hollywood career was phenomenal but life painted an even more brilliant story. She was an activist. A forceful member of CORE, SNCC, NAACP, Urban League, AND Delta Sigma Theta. Harlem through and through, Ruby was for us, by us. And can we talk about Black Love? You can’t utter the sound of her name, Ruby Dee, without your tongue clicking praise to her lover, Ossis Davis. Their love was definitive. Instructional. Swoon-worthy. ...an aperitif for our collective imagination. They gave us a master class on Black Love as Legacy. Eye contact. Hand holding. Passionate embraces. Side-by-sideness. It was, well, satisfying. They made us remember. It is no wonder that upon their deaths, they were cremated and their ashes put in the same urn, with the inscription, "In this thing together." Today is a celebration of Black Love, starring Ruby Dee....and Ossie Davis.Join the 21 Day Black History Bootcamp at https://bit.ly/blackhistorybootcamp to receive specially curated emails with inspiring words, survival tips, speeches + dedicated songs to listen to for each featured legendary Black woman.Disclaimer: We do not own the rights to the music or speech excerpt played during this broadcast.

“Let the people see what I have seen.” Mamie Till-Mobley launched a movement with those words, insisting on an open casket funeral for her 14-year-old son, Emmett Till, who was brutally murdered by two white men in Mississippi. That strategic decision, and the decision to publish graphic photos from the funeral in Jet magazine, galvanized the country and forced the world to finally make eye contact with the horrors being inflicted on Black people, especially throughout the American South. Mamie Till-Mobley was an ordinary Black woman who used her darkest hour to shine a light on injustice and mobilize the masses, and for that, we celebrate her legacy on day 19 of Black History Bootcamp.Join the 21 Day Black History Bootcamp at https://bit.ly/blackhistorybootcamp to receive specially curated emails with inspiring words, survival tips, speeches + dedicated songs to listen to for each featured legendary Black woman.Disclaimer: We do not own the rights to the music or speech excerpt played during this broadcast.

No Black women were in the military? She changed that. No Black women were in law school at Howard? Bam. Now there are. Black women everywhere were forced to give up their seats on buses? Before the Freedom Rides or RFK could call a press conference, it was her landmark case that waged the first blow against “separate but equal”. She was the first Black woman admitted to the all-white DC Bar Association. ...one of the first women to be ordained as a minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. And as she did all of this justice work, and ran her DC law firm on “greens and leftover pound cake” as payment, she moonlighted at the post office to pay the bills. We gone celebrate her today. If Black excellence had a name, it would be Dovey Johnson Roundtree. Just two days ago, June 22, 2020, Netflix made a historic investment of $40 million to Spelman College. Spelman named this unprecedented scholarship after one woman: Dovey Johnson Roundtree. “The Fixer” of The People. A one-woman crusade. Today we salute this unsung hero.

It makes sense to us that God would plant the blueprint of rock 'n' roll into the soul of a little Black girl born in a town called Cotton Plant. Sister Rosetta Tharpe sang music that was infused with the melodies of Black folks who understood loss and survival. A child prodigy who was touring with her preacher mother and a troupe of evangelical musicians by the age of 6, Rosetta Tharpe dared to combine the sacred with the secular, mixing gospel music with rhythm and blues to create a rock 'n' roll sound that would change the world. But it is her life, not just her music that we will gather to talk about on today’s call. From this woman – queer, Black, bold, and brave – we learn about living authentically, taking risks, and understanding your value. Join us for the live discussion or download the recap. Either way, tune in to this history!Join the 21 Day Black History Bootcamp at https://bit.ly/blackhistorybootcamp to receive specially curated emails with inspiring words, survival tips, speeches + dedicated songs to listen to for each featured legendary Black woman.Disclaimer: We do not own the rights to the music played during this broadcast.

If John Henry has a folk song this woman needs one too! Introducing Stagecoach Mary a.k.a. Mary Fields a.k.a. Black Mary.At 60-years old she was the fastest person - man or woman - in the state of Montana to hitch a team of six horses to a coach. She was the first Black woman to earn a US Postal Service contract. She drove that team of horses for eight years, through rough and wild territories of the West. In the winter, the snow was so deep that she’d leave the horses behind and carry-on with the mail on her back. She never missed a day. Not a single day. She carried a shotgun to demand respect. She once got kicked out of a Catholic convent for using it. When the law banned women from drinking in saloons, she got an exception from the mayor. “I fight through rainstorms...snowstorms ...risk hurricanes and tornadoes. I like to be rough. I like to be rowdy. I also like to be loving ...caring." We are the daughters of hard and soft. ...that edge hitting a soft breeze. We are electric. The storm of posibility. Like the clap of Juneteenth in the middle of global meltdown. Like the swirl and swagger of Mary Fields. "I do bold and exciting things." she confessed. Cheers foremother. Cheers!(She needs her own folk song.)Join the 21 Day Black History Bootcamp at https://bit.ly/blackhistorybootcamp to receive specially curated emails with inspiring words, survival tips, speeches + dedicated songs to listen to for each featured legendary Black woman.Disclaimer: We do not own the rights to the music or speech excerpt played during this broadcast.

Born to enslaved parents, one year before the Emancipation Proclamation, Ida B. Wells was once considered the most famous Black woman in the United States. As a journalist, she spent her entire life tirelessly fighting to tell the truth and shame the devil – to their face. She wasn’t afraid to pick a fight and she always seemed to show up prepared for battle, with the truth on her side. We think her life is a lesson for all of us and on today’s call we will honor her by speaking truth to power. We promise it’s a conversation you don’t want to miss.Join the 21 Day Black History Bootcamp at https://bit.ly/blackhistorybootcamp to receive specially curated emails with inspiring words, survival tips, speeches + dedicated songs to listen to for each featured legendary Black woman.Disclaimer: We do not own the rights to the music or speech excerpt played during this broadcast.

Why hasn’t someone made this into a movie!? Angola is the huge country below the equator on the west coast of Africa. That’s where it all started. ...ground zero for the transatlantic slave trade. White missionaries, greed, exploitative trade, tech advances that made exploration by sea possible, a massive need for labor and yes, tribal wars. It was the perfect storm for the greatest crime in human history, the capture, sale, and violent exportation of our ancestors. Yes, and we know that the first enslaved Africans arrived in America 400 years ago, in 1619. The next part is not as well known. 20 or so Africans were the first to walk on American soil. They were survivors. They survived wars on the continent. They survived a 70-mile walk down the Kwanza River. They survived the humiliation of baptism and branding by Catholic traders of enslaved people. They survived the dungeons, the canoe ride to the ships, the months at sea, the sickness, filth, violence, and murder. They survived the day that their Portuguese ship was jacked by British pirates in little-ass boats. They sailed to America and were sold on the shores of Hampton, Virginia. They survived. And one of those survivors was a woman named Angela. ...In Virginia, Angela X lived with Captain Whoever and his wife and two other indentured servants from England. Slavery wasn’t legally codified yet. We know this because, in 2017, something amazing happened. Buried beneath her home in Jamestown, archeologists found four cowrie shells. Evidence of her journey - the most exciting archeological find in decades – or ever – if you ask us. Today, we honor Angela and every African woman whose names we will never know.Join us in a conversation about survival and the systematic destruction of Black women that began on the coast of Africa and was fortified through The Virginia Code just 50 years after Angela arrived.Join the 21 Day Black History Bootcamp at https://bit.ly/blackhistorybootcamp to receive specially curated emails with inspiring words, survival tips, speeches + dedicated songs to listen to for each featured legendary Black woman.Disclaimer: We do not own the rights to the music played during this broadcast.

Lucille Clifton was the GOAT. The fact that we are not all walking around quoting her like we do Jay-Z or Drake is beyond understanding. She could have stepped into a booth with either of them, holding a cup of chamomile tea, and whispered two bars (because she liked to get to the point), drop the mic and walk out. It would have been over. Her words are so stunning. So precise. So full of celebration for Black people. You could quote only Lucille Clifton poems for the rest of your Instagram life and you would never run out of profound things to say. And this masterful body of work came from a woman who wrote for 30 years before being published. A woman who had six children and buried two, but still kept on living and producing beautiful art. There is so much to learn from this legendary writer. Don't miss the conversations.

Orson Welles called her “the most exciting woman in the world.” And she was. Eartha Kitt sang in 11 languages. Danced with Katherine Dunham. Broke boundaries for Black women in Hollywood when she played Catwoman. She was nominated for Tony Awards, Grammy Awards, and Emmys. And still, she felt unwanted, unloved. At the end, she was asked to summarize her life in six words. She said, “Rejected, ejected, dejected, used, accused, abused.”Join the 21 Day Black History Bootcamp at https://bit.ly/blackhistorybootcamp to receive specially curated emails with inspiring words, survival tips, speeches + dedicated songs to listen to for each featured legendary Black woman.Disclaimer: We do not own the rights to the music or speech excerpt played during this broadcast.

Look, Marsha said she ain’t do it!Although legend has it that it was Marsha P. Johnson who threw a shot glass at police inside of the Stonewall Inn in NYC in 1969, as an act of resistance against the police who were there harassing patrons, Marsha later said, she didn’t start the riot - she said she came running as fast as she could though once she knew it was happening, because baaaby, she was a fighter and was tired of the BS.What happened that day at Stonewall (“The Stonewall Uprising”) is considered by many to be the catalyst that launched the modern L.G.B.T. civil rights movement and it was Marsha who would lead the fight in the streets. She, along with co-founder Sylvia Rivera, established one of the country's first safe spaces for transgender and homeless youth, Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR). She also tirelessly advocated on behalf of sex workers, prisoners, and people with HIV/AIDS. Marsha’s work was powerful, but it didn’t keep her from a fate that far too many Black women have met. Marsha died in 1992. Her body was recovered in a river in New York and her death was ruled a suicide. Authorities later reclassified the cause, ruling it drowning from undetermined causes. The case remains open, and the mystery of her death reminds us of the ongoing violence black and transgender people face all too often in this country. Tune in live today.

"Baby Esther" was a phenomenal scat singer, and one of the most charismatic performers of her time. She was a trained dancer and acrobat. At 4-years-old, Russian-American theatrical manager Lou Bolton saw her performance and was blown away. "She's a young Florence Mills," the newspapers said. Like Josephine Baker and many performers of her day, Baby Esther was not accepted in America because she was Black. Instead, her manager arranged a European tour in 1929 and she was described as the highest-paid child artist in the world. She sold out the Moulin Rouge and performed for royals.At GirlTrek, we say "never ask permission to save your own life."

From London, by way of Jamaica, Olive Morris lived 27 years and she made every one of them count. She was Gangster with a capital G, organizing with the Black Panther Party Youth Collective, occupying empty and abandoned buildings to demand fair housing rights, and setting up the first networks for women of color in Britain. Despite her powerful work, Olive Morris, like countless other Black women, has been left out of the telling of our history, until now!

Did you know Nina's government name was Eunice Kathleen Waymon!? Us either. Here's the story. She was at a nightclub singing, trying to protect her family's good name.

Welcome to day 5 of GirlTrek’s Black History Bootcamp. As we celebrate the life of Breonna, we look to the words of literary giant Toni Morrison for comfort and direction. Toni Morrison refused to let Black women be invisible. Without apology she centered us in her work, writing about the Black experience with precision and beauty that was unmatched. She gave voice to our pain, our love, our loss, and our joys, and today we explore her life and look to the lessons she taught us. Let today’s walk be a celebration of life. Come with your sadness and your rage and lay it down at the altar for just 30 minutes.

Today's 30-minute walk is dedicated to the brave and brilliant Audre Lorde. She argued that our very survival is political - that we were never meant to survive. As you walk, meditate on her idea of "radical self-care." What would it look like if you were radical about caring for yourself? How would it even feel? What does it require? Today, you can walk in silent meditation, join our phone conversation, or cue up the playlist to let Audre Lorde's inspiring words guide you. This is your 21-day journey. The only thing we ask is that you walk at least 30 minutes and reflect each day. This habit will transform your life.

Greetings 9MIND Sacred Sisterhood. Peace, Protection, prosperity and most of all wisdom upon we all and those we love. The question being presented is why Black Americans, descendants of antebellum plantation slavery have failed to advance collectively in the most propserpous, technological advanced and once military super power of the world? Although there are several answers I will give my listeners the answer that most Black Americans will never give you if you ask them. Many will say racism or white supremacy lolz others will say education and others still will say poverty or a lack of Unity. And although I do agreee that all mentioned do play their part the real reason why Black Americans have not advanced is because of how we think and view ourselves in America. I call how most Black Americans think; "PLANTATION PROGRAMMING". Many of we are unaware of it because other Blacks we interact and engage with express (the same) programming so we tend to THINK it's normal and natural and thus have no mental measuring barometer within our own race or culture to define what should be NORMAL as opposed to what should be abnormal. As such the abnormal becomes the normal in the imbalanced Black Mind thus causing we to repeat the errors of our Foremothers and ForeFathers who themselves did not take the time as FREED SLAVES to codify or create a handbook for Freed Slaves still living under constant racial oppression from hoardes of w/usurpers. Because this was not done ex slaves simply relied upon the religion taught them as the only rules of conduct & behavior for themselves & progeny to follow. Now I have mentioned in other broadcast that religion is only useful if you have a solid cohesive COMMUNITYbuilt off shared values and principles first. Religion without this as it's foundation is like a dog who has never known a leash. Link Up @https://twitter.com/El_shiloh9

Greetings 9Mind Sacred Sisterhood Klan. Peace, greetings, prosperity, protection and most of all wisdom be upon we all and those we love.  Military, Prisons & SLAVERY was all about interrupting and disrupting the NATURAL relationships between men andwomen ok? Well guess what? " IT WORKED!!!" Sisters our foreMothers being with BM after the disbanding of chattel slavery was by DEFAULT only and not outta love, respect or that BM where Alpha males. No BM coming out of slavery was a alpha anything. Only FREEMEN like FreeMasons knew what it felt like to be ALPHA male. BM post slavery, emancipation proclamation NEVER had to prove themselves as protectors as Husbands, good Sons, good Fathers or even good men to earn the hand of a BW in marriage. Our enslaved foreGrandmothers & Great Grand Mothers ect.., were literally FORCED to be with BM simply because; 1) they had no choice. 2) they both shared the common experience of having been enslaved and DEHUMANIZED TOGETHER. 3) because of this shared experience of this American HORROR history BW of that era believed being by a BM side was their (rightful place) as women who really knew no other life of being anything other than the PROPERTY of MAN. BW in the USA (aka) Biblical politcal BABYLON knew no other life besides being the property of  w/man so going from being their property to being the property of BM was seen as a POSITIVE transfer of POWER to our female Ancestors back in those times. It can be noted that BM during and after slavery had more compassion for BW, not b/cuzz he viewed BW as quals but only due to his own oppression. This experience of being seen and held as property by MAN is why women of ALL RACES accept this arrangement as NORMAL but have grown to disdain it since we 2 must now work as hard or harder than men.
