This morning we question part of a passage in this week's Torah portion, Ki Teitzei, and provide an answer based on a parable from the Dubno Magid (Rabbi Yaakov Krantz). Using a quote from the marvelous novel, The Winners, by Frederik Backman, we highlight the importance of being more honest with ourselves and others. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law. ADATH is a modern orthodox synagogue community in suburban Montreal, providing Judaism for the next generation. We take great pleasure in welcoming everyone with a warm smile, while sharing inspiration through prayer, study, and friendship. Rabbi Whitman shares his thoughts and inspirations through online lectures and shiurim, which are available on: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5FLcsC6xz5TmkirT1qObkA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adathmichael/ Podcast - Mining the Riches of the Parsha: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/mining-the-riches-of-the-parsha/id1479615142?fbclid=IwAR1c6YygRR6pvAKFvEmMGCcs0Y6hpmK8tXzPinbum8drqw2zLIo7c9SR-jc Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3hWYhCG5GR8zygw4ZNsSmO Please contact Rabbi Whitman (rabbi@adath.ca) with any questions or feedback, or to receive a daily email, "Study with Rabbi Whitman Today," with current and past insights for that day, video, and audio, all in one short email sent directly to your inbox.
Welcome to the 66th Episode of the ABC Pod the Adult Book Club where we drink and we read things. This episode features No Country for Old Gnomes by Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne. Discussion of the book starts at the 10th minute. Spoilers are between the 48 and 1:16 minute marks. We discuss the setup of the book as well as what we discovered to be the more enjoyable way to appreciate it. We also deep dive the characters in our party and talk about the many side quests our party endures. We finish with our usual segments and a mini pod within a pod discussing Beartown and Frederik Backman. Enjoy!
Join Camila and Jen as they discuss Beartown by Swedish author Fredrick Backman. Much darker than this previous novels, Backman uses Beartown's obsession with ice hockey as the backdrop for exploring serious issues such as bullying, rape, and suicide.
This morning we explore the rhythm of Jewish life, suggested by the reading, on seven successive Shabbat mornings, of prophetic passages of Nechama (poorly translated as comfort or consolation). We describe, on a national level and for the individual, what is the content of this Nechama, toward which all Jewish laws and practices of mourning direct us. Quoting from "Consolation," a wonderful work by Rabbi Maurice Lamm, we examine Nechama in situ as Yitzchak reaches this after the death of his mother, Sara. Using Ramban, Frederik Backman, and Suleika Jaouad, we arrive at understanding the goal at the end of mourning, Nechama as personal growth.

This morning, quoting a line from the great novel, "The Winners" by Frederik Backman, we attempt to capture the essence of Jerusalem through the art of Dale Chihuly, in his installation at Migdal David (David's Tower) in the Old City of Jerusalem in 2000. And we attempt to put this into words, using several stories by Sarah Tuttle-Singer, ending with a story of Marci and me, and Sarah, and Dale, trying to hold up the mysterious and contradictory essence of Jerusalem.

This episode features My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by Frederik Backman. Spoilers are between the 38 – 1:59 minute marks. We spend a lot of time in spoilers talking about the community that Backman built in this book and which characters tie into which fairy tale from the Land-of-Almost-Awake. We also touch on Elsa's growth and the relationships she has as well as the connections between the characters that live in her building. We finish with our usual segments and another surprise book. Enjoy!

Was je ook in de veronderstelling dat in Nederland het recht op abortus een done deal is? Nou, dat valt dus nogal tegen. Met onze allereerste gast (YAY!), journalist en schrijver Angela Wals, praten we over de wankele status van wat wij dachten dat ons recht was. Ze vertelt ons over het opgeheven vingertje dat in de wet is opgenomen en houdt een vlammend betoog over waarom dat er onmiddellijk uit moet. Ook confronteert ze ons met onze eigen gemengde gevoelens over frivole redenen voor een abortus (shout-out naar De Vrouw Die Om Een Abortus Vroeg Omdat Ze Op Wintersport Wilde) en vertelt ze over die keer dat ze abortus riep in de yogaschool. Kortom, een dijk van een eerste gast.We laten ons afleiden door de potentiële revival van horror-trends uit de vroege jaren '00. Elise ontdekt dat Roy Donders en Fred van Leer niet significant van elkaar verschillen en Barbara diept een foto op waarop ze op Uggs voor de Trump Tower staat.Natuurlijk zijn er tips: een podcast en TWEE boeken.

In this episode: - Kathy Diamond reviews Beartown by Frederik Backman
A girl’s clever sewing saves her from a magician, a groom almost misses his own wedding, a grandmother leaves her granddaughter an unusual quest. Storypoem: The Golden Thread (a retelling of Anna Wahlenberg's "The Magician's Cape") Folk Tale: The Troll Ride (a retelling of Anna Wahlenberg's "The Troll Ride") Rec. Read: "My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry," by Frederik Backman* *this book isn't written for kids, but apart from some mild swearing and some scary moments, I think it's kid-kosher. If you're unsure, please read it yourself before sharing with the kids in your life. It's certainly no scarier than most of my beloved books by Roald Dahl!
"A Man Called Ove" is the most charming book I've read to date. In this first episode, I discuss the social relevance of this piece, particularly pertaining to loss and independence, and tackle some questions about Ove's character development. If you love reading heartwarming original tales, I definitely recommend this one.

Åsa Ågren is a literary consultant and writer. After leaving her home country Sweden she finally settled down in southern Germany with her two kids and three cats. Her first young adult novel, "Nordland" written in Swedish (Mörkersdottir, 2013) will also be published in German soon. For aspiring writers, she offers services to refine manuscript before submissions and overcome writer's block. In this podcast we discuss the short story Sebastian and the Troll, by Swedish author Frederik Backman (the author launched into fame with his novel A Man Called Ove). http://www.fredrikbackman.com/2018/01/08/sebastian-and-the-troll/ Topics include trolls, mythology, depression and suicide.
Amanda and Jenn discuss book group picks, medieval fiction, sci-fi short stories, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Libby and the Book Riot Bookstore Giveaway. Subscribe to the podcast via RSS here, or via Apple Podcasts here. The show can also be found on Stitcher here. Questions 1. Hi- going on a road trip with my 22 year old daughter from North Carolina back home to Texas in late November. Looking for an audiobook recommendation to listen to on the drive- something possibly set in the south with a mystery or supernatural bent. We like smart characters and a plot that is twisty. --Jen 2. Hi ladies! I am a librarian at a small library outside Philadelphia with a HUGE book-club-in-a-bag collection (it comes with books, audiobooks, discussion materials--the whole works). I've just recently taken over the collection and I realized that it is tragically white. I'm doing what I can to remedy that, but I was hoping for some suggestions for diverse, newer, fairly accessible book-club lit (or non-fiction!) for the collection. We've got The Underground Railroad, The Mothers, Little Fires Everywhere, Behold the Dreamers, and Between the World and Me, to name a few. Thanks so much! --Katherine 3. Hi Amanda and Jenn!! I listen to Get Booked religiously, and you guys have steered me into so many things I've absolutely loved. I just finished the Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, and it's left me craving more books with meaningful, adult-child relationships where at least one party is choosing to be in the others' life (adoption, mentor-ship, and similar.) What I specifically loved about A.J. and Maya was how genuinely they liked each other as people. I'd love to read more in that vein, if you have any recommendations? Thanks! --Lauren 4. Hello! First I want you to know that I love the show. My TBR list is huge now and My husband keeps side eyeing me as I bring new books home. I'm currently reading Doomsday Book by Connie Willis and it has made me realize how much I love books about the Middle Ages or Medieval times. I've also read the Inquisitor's Tale and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. What other recommendations do you have that take place in that time or are similar to those books? Thanks so much!! --Olivia 5. I suffer from a chronic pain condition and would like to find books that have conditions similar to mine (or other disabilities). Memoir or fiction would be great. I've read both of Jenny Lawson's books and cried when I found out that she had arthritis because I do not get to read about people with similar experiences much. (No Me Before You please!) --Emily 6. Hi Get Booked Ladies! I have always loved Science Fiction and in the last few months have really gotten into short story collections. I have recently read "Stories of Your Life" by Ted Chiang (this is probably going to be my favorite book of the year), "Bloodchild" by Octavia Butler, and "Three Moments of an Explosion" by China Mieville. I have also loved in the past "The Illustrated Man" by Ray Bradbury. I currently have "Beyond the Rift" by Peter Watts and "Miracle" by Connie Willis on my upcoming TBR. I am looking for some more interesting and well written sci-fi short story collections! I enjoy hard sci-fi and first contact stories. Dark, weird, speculative, and bizarre are also great descriptors for me. Just FYI...I don't really like fantasy (I never understood why sci-fi and fantasy are clumped together). Thank you so much and love your show! --Andrea :) 7. Hi! I teach high school English, and often listen to the podcast on my way to work, which makes for a lovely commute (but also makes it impossible to write down all of the books I want to read). I work with several young people who are hunters, and want to read about hunting/survival/outdoorsy stuff. We have Paulsen's Hatchet and sequels and Si-cology 101 (Duck Dynasty), which have been popular among this group, and one student is reading Where the Red Fern Grows. Another of these readers started American Sniper but never finished it, and they've all read The Hunger Games. I'm ordering some Jon Krakauer, but I'm looking for more recommendations that might strike a chord with this group of readers - fiction or nonfiction, especially things that are a little more grownup (YA is awesome - more of that, please, but I worry they're not challenged by some of the middle grades texts we have available). Thanks, and I promise to stop the car to listen to your reply (or, even better, listen with students) :) --Jennifer Books Discussed A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet Jade City by Fonda Lee Crooked Letter Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin The Cutting Season by Attica Locke Shelter by Jung Yun The Wangs vs The World by Jade Chang My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry by Frederik Backman, translated by Henning Koch (recommended by Elizabeth) Ginny Moon by Benjamin Ludwig A Bed of Spices by Barbara Samuel Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin The Escape by Mary Balogh The Right Way to Be Crippled and Naked, edited by Annabelle Hayse, Sheila Black, and Michael Northen Pain Woman Takes Your Keys by Sonya Huber Overclocked by Cory Doctorow Galactic Empires, edited by Neil Clarke The Land by Mildred Taylor (recommended by Danika) The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
