Podcasts about Gomel

Elana Gomel is a former senior lecturer in the Department of English and American Studies at Tel Aviv University, where she also served as department chair for two years. This book investigates the Russian community in Israel, analyzing the narratives through which Russian Jewry defines itself and linking them to the legacy of Soviet history. Gomel is also an award-winning fiction writer and the author of eight novels. The story of post-Soviet Jews in Israel illustrates a broader phenomenon of cultural divergence, in which history shapes distinct identities from a shared origin. In addition to marking a turning point in Israel's development, this story forms part of the larger global landscape shaped by the collapse of the Soviet Union. Gomel's book explores Russian immigration to Israel from a cultural rather than purely sociological perspective. It should be noted that the book was originally published in 2009 and serves as a snapshot of the situation 15 years after the massive wave of Russian immigration in the early 1990s. In our discussion, we will try to address some of the changes that have transpired in the country as well as in Elana's views. Elana Gomel, born in Ukraine and currently residing in California, is an academic with a long list of books and articles, an award-winning writer, and a professional nomad.

Curso Tefila #64 Shmone Esre - Gomel Jasadim Tobim (Existen Favores Malos?) by Suri Cattan

Cours Halakha Time du Mercredi 18 Décembre 2024 (durée : 5 minutes) donné par Rav Gad ALLOUCHE.

Today's song is from the Agur , not a well-known word. We're working with the explanation that it's a crane , which is a type of bird, and he says הוֹדוּ לַיי בְּכִנּוֹר בְּנֵבֶל עָשׂוֹר זַמְּרוּ לוֹ: ( Tehilim 33,2) / Thank Hashem with a kinor/harp, with the nevel-asor (an instrument with 10 strings), sing to him. The pasuk that follows this one in tehilim, continues, שִֽׁירוּ־ל֭וֹ שִׁ֣יר חָדָ֑שׁ הֵיטִ֥יבוּ נַ֝גֵּ֗ן בִּתְרוּעָֽה׃ / Sing a new song to Him, play well with a trumpet. Why exactly does the crane sing this? The Mabit tells us something very interesting about the crane. The crane has a tremendous power of tsifsuf / chirping or noises, and is able to sing in a very powerful way. There is a pasuk in Yeshaya 38,14 where Hizkiyah Hamelech says, כְּס֤וּס עָגוּר֙ כֵּ֣ן אֲצַפְצֵ֔ף I'm going to make noise like a crane. The crane was created in a certain way to, to communicate. It has a very long trachea and its mouth is different than other type of birds. It's able to make a call that can be heard for several miles. So, the crane is known as a very powerful, loud bird and therefore, says the Mabit, the crane tells us, ' You might not have my abilities, but you have your own abilities. You can use your kenor/harp . Why does he say Hodu L'Hashem b'kinor/ Thank Hashem with the harp? He answers that a harp is something that is quite simple to play. This Hodu/ Thanks to Hashem is directed to the four people that have to say Gomel . The word Hodu is the term used in the prayer of HaGomel , which is said after surviving a situation of danger, whether crossing the ocean or desert, being released from captivity or recovering from an illness. And since these are common events, the crane says, I can't ask you to do something complicated . It needs to be a common thing. Everyone has their kinor/harp, the standard way of saying thank you. And the people that are on a higher level, whom he calls the Benei Aliya , won't simply do a Hodu they'll do Zamru/ a song , and they will use this Nevel-asor , which is a more complex instrument. The commentaries discuss about the Asor and ask, why a 10 string harp? The Gemara in Masechet Arechim 13B quotes a pasuk and tells us that the harp of the Bet Hamikdash had seven strings When a Mashiach comes, it's going to have eight strings, and LaAtid Lavo when it comes to Olam Haba , the highest level, it's going to have 10 strings. And that's actually our pasuk, where it says a 10 -stringed Nevel, and then the next pasuk says, a new song-which is the song of Olam Haba. What exactly does that mean? The Ramban explains in Shaar Hagemul letter 144 that this symbolizes the forces and energies that we have. The is the world of seven, and there are seven different Middot that are revealed to us, which are the seven Ushpizin . So we can sing to God with the harp of seven . But that's for the common folk. Then we go on to a higher level of eight, which is Olam Haba , and then finally we go on to 10. This means different people have different energies and different abilities, but whatever your ability is, you have to use it to praise, to sing, and to give over what you can and sing your song. So the crane is saying to everyone, You don't have to be like me. Rav Wolbe was once sitting with a student by the beach when they saw a beautiful bird landing in the most elegant and graceful way. The student commented, " Wow. Look how elegant and beautiful that bird is as it lands." Rav Wolbe replied, " You too can be elegant and graceful if you use your talents to do what you have to do." That's really the message of the crane. He's saying, ' You might not have my voice, but Hodu LHashem b'kinor-You can use your kinor or your nevel or whatever your instrument is.' The bottom line is this beautiful message, the song of the agur הוֹדוּ לַיי בְּכִנּוֹר בְּנֵבֶל עָשׂוֹר זַמְּרוּ לוֹ:

Le dirigeant biélorusse Alexandre Loukachenko a gracié lundi 37 personnes emprisonnées pour « extrémisme », un terme employé pour qualifier les opposants. Mais des centaines d'autres restent derrière les barreaux, certains avec de graves problèmes de santé. C'est le cas de l'une des figures du mouvement de protestation de 2020, Maria Kolesnikova. La co-lauréate du prix Sakharov, a passé quatre ans en prison, dont un an et demi à l'isolement, sans communication avec le monde extérieur. Aux dires de celles qui sont passées par la prison pour femmes n°4 de Gomel, elle continue à sourire à celles dont elle arrive à croiser le regard. Mais elles sont peu nombreuses. Maria Kolesnikova, condamnée à onze ans de réclusion, est détenue dans un isolement quasi complet, privée de tout contact avec le monde extérieur. Sa famille n'a plus de nouvelles directes depuis un an et demi. Du fait, sans doute de ces conditions de détention éprouvantes, la jeune femme de 42 ans a subi une intervention chirurgicale à l'estomac en 2022, qui lui a fait perdre 15 kg. Aujourd'hui, elle n'en pèserait plus que 45 alors qu'elle mesure 1,75 m, selon les témoignages d'anciennes prisonnières ayant recouvré la liberté, récoltés par sa sœur. « Lorsqu'ils la déplacent, elle est toujours sous la garde de six agents de sécurité. Ils créent une sorte de vide autour d'elle. Et quand ils doivent l'emmener en dehors de la prison, ils instaurent une sorte de loi martiale, avec interdiction pour les prisonnières de regarder par les fenêtres », relate Tatsiana Khomich, jointe par téléphone dans un lieu qu'elle préfère ne pas dévoiler. Selon sa sœur, Maria est détenue dans une cellule disciplinaire d'environ 4m², seule, et souffre de malnutrition. « J'ai très peur, je ne comprends pas pourquoi ils font cela, pourquoi ils exercent une telle pression sur elle et la maintiennent à l'isolement. Pourquoi faire mourir une personne de faim ? », s'inquiète Tatsiana Khomich.« La décision d'être libre exige de prendre ses responsabilités », avait affirmé l'opposante dans un entretien à la BBC à l'été 2020. Cheveux blonds coupés court, large sourire aux lèvres souvent rehaussées de rouge, Maria Kolesnikova s'était imposée comme l'une des figures du trio féminin emmené par la candidate à la présidentielle d'août 2020, Svetlana Tikhanovskaïa. Si cette dernière avait réussi à quitter le pays sur fond de répressions après les manifestations contre la réélection contestée d'Alexandre Loukachenko, Maria Kolesnikova avait été arrêtée quelques jours plus tard. Les autorités avaient alors tenté de l'expulser du pays, en l'emmenant de force à la frontière, mais elle avait résisté, déchiré son passeport et refusé de quitter la Biélorussie.« Je n'ose imaginer ce qu'elle traverse »Avant de revenir en Biélorussie où elle a pris part au mouvement démocratique en 2020, Maria Kolesnikova, qui menait une carrière de flûtiste, a vécu en Allemagne. En 2016, elle y a intégré le trio de musique contemporaine Vis-à-vis à Stuttgart. « Elle me disait toujours, tu sais, dans mon pays si tu fais quelque chose de travers ou si tu dis quelque chose qui heurte le pouvoir, tu vas en prison. Elle avait conscience des conséquences de ses actes », se souvient la chanteuse de l'ensemble, Natalia Lopez, qui organise régulièrement des concerts en hommage à son amie emprisonnée. « Aujourd'hui, je n'ose imaginer ce qu'elle traverse. Je sais que Loukachenko libère des gens, mais je pense que Maria n'en fait pas partie ». Ces deux derniers mois, le régime biélorusse a gracié plus de cent prisonniers politiques, dont certains avec des problèmes de santé. Mais les figures de l'opposition telles que Maria Kolesnikova, Viktor Babariko, le candidat arrêté avant la présidentielle, dont elle avait dirigé la campagne ou Serguei Tikhanovsky, continuent de purger leurs peines dans des conditions difficiles.« Alexandre Loukachenko comprend qu'ils constituent une menace pour lui et en tout cas, il fixerait un prix à payer pour leur libération que les pays occidentaux jugeraient probablement trop élevé », estime Pavel Slunkin, ancien diplomate biélorusse qui vit en exil. « Maria possède un grand capital social, c'est une politicienne aimée et admirée. À l'inverse, Alexandre Loukachenko ne peut se vanter d'aucun coup d'éclat, il n'a pas déchiré son passeport. C'est quelqu'un qui vit protégé derrière de hauts murs, il n'a pas l'image d'un héros. Et je pense qu'il ressent de la jalousie envers ces personnalités et qu'il a un besoin de se venger », avance l'ancien haut fonctionnaire biélorusse. Selon les estimations des ONG, plus de 1 400 personnes sont détenues en Bélorussie pour des motifs politiques. Tatsiana Khomich, garde l'espoir d'une grâce présidentielle pour tous les prisonniers politiques, mais dans l'immédiat, elle espère surtout qu'il reste encore un peu d'humanité chez les gardiens de prison, où la santé de sa sœur se dégrade de jour en jour.

Daniela Gomel (Especialista en Políticas Públicas y Gobernanza de Vida Silvestre @Vida_Silvestre ) Tercer Tiempo @Sditomaso

We are now in Perek Shira . Today's pasuk is the song of Gehenom . It comes from a perek in Tehilim 107,9, where it says, כִּֽי־הִ֭שְׂבִּיעַ נֶ֣פֶשׁ שֹׁקֵקָ֑ה וְנֶ֥פֶשׁ רְ֝עֵבָ֗ה מִלֵּא־ טֽוֹב׃ / You satisfied a thirsty soul, and a hungry soul you filled with goodness. Simply speaking, this pasuk is in the chapter of Tehilim that talks about the four people that need to say HaGomel . It starts with words Hodu L'Hashem Ki Tov, Ki L'Olam Hasdo. The first of the four groups of people are those that are in the desert. They're hungry, they're thirsty, they cry out to God, Please save us , and God puts them on the right path and gets them to the Ir Moshav . Hodu L'Hashem Ki Tov, we say, and we praise Him for His kindness, and the wonders he does to people. And here we say, כִּֽי־הִ֭שְׂבִּיעַ נֶ֣פֶשׁ שֹׁקֵקָ֑ה וְנֶ֥פֶשׁ רְ֝עֵבָ֗ה מִלֵּא־ טֽוֹב because He took this thirsty, hungry soul and fulfilled it. That's the simple meaning. Alittle further on it talks about the people of Mitzrayim , because the four events that happened at Gomel happened to our forefathers as they left Mitzrayim . The sefer Bigdei Srad, in his commentary on the Haggadah shel Pesach, offers a deeper explanation. He says this refers to the lost souls that want to come closer to God, who have made mistakes and are crying out to God, ‘ Please purify us, put us in the right place. 'And these were the souls of the generation that left Mitzrayim, that they had reached the 49th level of Tumah , crying out to God. God took them out, put them on the right path, and got them to the final end goal of dwelling in the right place and getting to Olam Haba. That's why the sefarim say that this is the pasuk of Gehenom . The Chatam Sofer, in his Likutim , says that the pure soul is yearning for water. What water ? The spiritual waters from Above. It's yearning for Olam Haba but it has sinned, and now it needs to purify itself in Gehenom . Gehenom sings the song, “ I did my job. I took these souls that were yearning for God and I purified them and got them to their final destination .” So, although Gehenom is not something we like, it's an understanding. Gehenom is singing because it's a part of the cleansing process. We yearn to come closer to God and Gehenom is part of that. The sefer Sifsei Sadik , in Parashat Vaera , says similarly: Why wait until Gehenom? Cry tears in this world. Purify yourself here and understand that the world's challenges here are going to get us purified. There's a famous story where the Gaon Vilna was teaching his students from a tractate brought down in the sefer Reshit Chochma called the Masechet Gehenom, which describes all of the horrors of Gehenom . One of his students was so moved by it that he became depressed. He couldn't get out of bed. It got back to the Gaon of Vilna that the student was not learning, because he was so down and out from the descriptions of the horrors of Gehenom. So he went and told him, “ I left one thing out. I forgot to tell you that suffering in this world is a powerful cleanser that prevent you from all that.” That's the song of Gehenom- it's the song of all suffering, to understand that ultimately, the goal of the suffering is really to give water and food to the starving soul, to get us to Olam Haba, to get us to those delicious foods that we're yearning and so thirsty for. The Mabit, in his commentary to Perek Shira takes a slightly different approach. The pasuk says the word Nefesh twice, and he says there are two souls. There's the Nefesh Shokekah , which he explains as the soul that was yearning and filled its yearnings up from the worldly pleasures. That's the השְבִּיעַ נֶ֣פֶשׁ שֹׁקֵקָ֑ה which refers to the wicked person that fulfilled all his desires in this world in a sinful matter. And there's also the וְנֶ֥פֶשׁ רְ֝עֵבָ֗ה , the Sadik is called the hungry soul because he did not fulfill his desires in this world. He held back, and because he held back in this world, he's going to end up in the next world. So Gehenom is singing the song of self-control. Those people that did not control themselves in this world have to purify themselves in the next world. And those that do control themselves in this world are eventually the וְנֶ֥פֶשׁ רְ֝עֵבָ֗ה , that hungry soul that did not partake of all the forbidden delicacies in this world, and will be filled with the delicious goodness and delicacies of the next world.

Send us a Text Message.In response to Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousands Faces, aka The Hero's Journey, folklorists and academics (many of them female) countered some of the major steps and archetypes that Campbell claimed were universal. In today's workshop we explore the some of the ideas of The Heroine's Journey with author and academic, Elana Gomel. Using her just published dark fantasy Nine Levels, Elana shows how her book doesn't follow the Hero's Journey, somewhat follows the Heroine's Journey, and eventually takes it's own path entirely.Check out her book here.Remember, we have a Writers Process/Writing Sprint meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.

Ces blessures sont-elles arrivées au mauvais moment ?

We continue with the Maharal's list of Pesukei Bitachon, letter Vav, Tehilim13,6: וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ בְּחַסְדְּךָ֣ בָטַחְתִּי֮ יָ֤גֵ֥ל לִבִּ֗י בִּֽישׁוּעָ֫תֶ֥ךָ אָשִׁ֥ירָה לַֽיהֹוָ֑ה כִּ֖י גָמַ֣ל עָלָֽי I rely on Your kindness. My heart rejoices in Your salvation. I will sing to Hashem because He has bestowed upon me kindness. The Avudarham, who finds sources for our prayers in Scripture, says that this pasuk is the source the Beracha , הגומל לחייבים טובות שגמלני כל טוב God is the Gomel, the One that gives to those that don't deserve it . It was chosen because of its theme, similar to that of HaGomel , which is that I don't deserve it. That's why after a person gets off a plane, is healed from an illness or safely competes desert or boat travel, he makes this beracha which is saying, I don't deserve it; I didn't deserve it. Rather, וַא ֲנִ֤י ׀ בְּחַסְדְּךָ֣ בָטַחְ תִּי֮ /I relied your kindness. Rabbenu Yonah, in Mishleh 3,26 tells us that in order to have Bitachon, we have to rely on Hashem's mercy, which is abundant, and His kindness, which is tremendous, and strengthen our hearts in that belief in Hashem's kindness. And that's our pasuk, וַא ֲנִ֤י ׀ בְּחַסְדְּךָ֣ בָטַחְתִּי֮ / I relied your kindness. The Rambam's son, Rabbenu Abraham, in his sefer Maspik L'Ovdeh Hashem , talks about a higher level of bitachon , which is when a person believes, בוודאות ובלי ספקות … guaranteed, without a doubt, I will get that. That's a high level. Not everyone's holding there. Rav Elya Weintraub explains that this comes from the belief in En Od Milevado /There's nothing else but Hashem, so I'm convinced He can do it and He will do it, and I have no doubt it will happen because there's nothing that can stop Him. That certainty of reliance undoes all evil and puts a person in a certain zone of God's protection and benevolence. The role model of En Od Milevado was Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa. When a witch was trying to cast a spell on him ( Mesechet Chulin) he said leave your witchcraft, It's not going to affect me. En Od Milevado/ there is nothing else but God, even your witchcraft. I always understood that Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa's main power was his belief in the Oneness of God and nothing else but God. But it's interesting to note that when Rabbenu Abraham talks about Vada'ut/certainty of reliance , and cites the story of Chanina ben Dosa which shows his belief in En Od Milevado , he adds the following: ועם היות שבעלי המעלה הזאת בטוחים בהשגת מבוקשם, אין זה מפאת בטחונם בצדקתם וזכויותיהם אלא מפאת בטחונם בחסדיו יתעלה, כמו שאמר דויד (תהלים י"ג ו') "ואני בחסדך בטחתי" וכו': / Even though the people on this level are guaranteed in getting what they want, it's not because they rely on their righteousness and merits, but because they rely on Hashem's kindness, as it says בחסדך בטחתי …. This is a big hiddush . In order to achieve the level of Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa, he says we need two things: - We need to believe in Hashem's all-inclusive powers, but that's not enough. -We also have to believe in Hashem's kindness, and that His kindness is abundantly That is extremely important. The Hovot Halevavot says that one of the reasons why people don't have bitachon is because they don't understand how great Hashem's kindness is. We have to learn that constantly, but the truth is, it's not that difficult. Just look outside. Look at how much food there is, not just for us, but for the animal kingdom. Look how much abundance there is of everything. Hashem's kindness and mercy is unfathomable. Even as people are sinning, He continues to give them life- and not just sinners, but murderers, terrorists, and the like. Hashem has unfathomable kindness. And when we rely on Him, that knowledge is also important- the knowledge of Hashem's kindness. And that's why David Hamelech says, ַאֲנִ֤י ׀ בְּחַסְדְּךָ֣ בָטַחְתִּי֮ “ As for me, I rely on Your kindness .” Y The next time you say Hagomel , realize the important words, HaGomel L'chayavim Tovot… I'm chayav, and yet Hashem gave me kindness. Ki Gamal Alai. Have a wonderful day.

durée : 00:18:19 - 100% ASNL, La quotidienne - Gomel, Pellegrini, Tayot, Bouriaud, Touré n'étaient pas du déplacement au Red-Star. Malgré ces absences, l'ASNL a largement rivalisé avec le futur champion, 1-1. Une vraie satisfaction, tout comme l'adaptation tactique dont l'équipe à fait preuve sans sourciller et avec efficacité.

durée : 00:20:05 - 100% ASNL, La quotidienne - Depuis que Benjamin Gomel et Teddy Bouriaud sont absents, l'ASNL semble avoir un problème de carburation. Dans la gestion du jeu, l'ASNL est souvent sur courant alternatif. Elle oscille entre le bon et le moins bon, notamment lors des 4 derniers matchs. L'ASNL joue-t-elle sur une jambe ?

durée : 00:20:08 - 100% ASNL, La quotidienne - L'infirmerie de l'ASNL affiche fort taux de remplissage : Bouriaud, Gomel, Carlier, sont sur le flanc pour un certain temps. Ces trois joueurs sont importants dans le dispositif de Pablo Correa et ont été les rampes de lancement du redressement de l'ASNL. Existe-t-il des solutions de rechanges ?

durée : 00:17:44 - 100% ASNL, La quotidienne - La blessure de Benjamin Gomel vient gâcher la série en cours de l'ASNL. Le meilleur passeur du championnat (7 passes décisives), blessé aux adducteurs, sera absent pour au moins deux mois. Qui et comment peut-on désormais remplacer Benjamin Gomel ?

durée : 00:19:29 - 100% ASNL, La quotidienne - Avec la performance réalisée ce weekend face à Rouen, où il était placé derrière les deux attaquants, Benjamin Gomel a réalisé une belle performance qui laisse croire qu'il pourrait être l'un des hommes clés du système Correa.

In this shiur we discuss: 1) Update on Gomel or Kaddish, 2)Medicine on Shabbos- What is permitted and when, 3) Making a shortened chazzaras hashatz by Mincha, 4) Women and Havdalah, 5) Mezuzah on an office doorway, 6) Placing a siddur on top of a Chumash

Iniziamo subito con il ricordare che il ruolo che i Carabinieri Reali ricoprirono in prima battuta fu quello di polizia militare al seguito dei reparti inviati sul fronte russo.   Dunque, vediamo qual era la situazione in URSS. Giorgio Rochat segnala correttamente che la partecipazione italiana all'operazione Barbarossa (all'invasione dell'URSS) non fu richiesta da Hitler né pensata, ma si iscrive nel solco di quella cosiddetta “guerra subalterna” con l'Italia mussoliniana che correva dietro le iniziative tedesche. In questo senso si consideri sempre che Mussolini fu informato dell'invasione a cose fatte (Rochat) Quale fu il contributo dell'Arma. Andiamo a vedere cosa riserva a questo fronte uno dei testi più noti anche se un pò datato di Storia dell'Arma dei Carabinieri. Il volumone "Carabinieri 1814-1980", ci dice che 45 sezioni Carabinieri furono impiegate in servizio di polizia militare a supporto delle unità del CSIR e poi dell'ARMIR. Inoltre, fu dislocato sul fronte russo anche il XXVI battaglione mobilitato Carabinieri Reali che partecipò alla difesa del fronte tra il 26 dicembre 1942 e il 17 gennaio 1943, nella zona di Belowodsk, procedendo poi al ripiegamento verso Gomel successivamente. Nel frattempo, due considerazioni di carattere generale sul volume "Carabinieri 1814-1980" che riporta in 3 pagine una sintesi estrema della presenza dei Carabinieri sul Fronte Orientale. Bene, iniziamo con il dire che dal punto di vista editoriale il volume presenta solo 4 immagini relative a quel teatro operativo: 3 fotografie che ritraggono i Carabinieri sorvegliare la popolazione locale in occasione di qualche attività nelle retrovie: controllo documenti e assistenza e vigilanza durante la distribuzione di generi alimentari. La quarta immagine è una rappresentazione pittorica di Vittorio Pisani del gesto del Carabiniere Giuseppe Plado Mosca. Il Carabiniere nisseno Insieme ad un soldato teatino, Mario Iacovitti, saltò su di un cavallo il 22 dicembre 1942 ad Arbusow gridando “Savoia, avanti, avanti” e riuscendo così a trascinare gli altri militari presenti nella sacca, i resti della 52a divisione di Fanteria Torino che erano sottoposti alla pressione nemica. Le loro grida, il galoppo dei cavalli, la bandiera tricolore sventolata furono l'innesco per una azione tanto disperata quanto fortunata. Sul loro esempio, i reparti, i soldati, gli uomini che poterono mossero in un assalto all'arma bianca che riuscì a rompere l'accerchiamento. Il Carabiniere Mosca cadde ucciso da una raffica di mitragliatrice mentre il suo cavallo tornò indietro verso i reparti italiani, mentre il soldato Iacovitti rimase in sella sull'altra cavallo senza essere ferito, venendo poi catturato in una fase successiva. Entrambi i militari furono decorati di MOVM ma ciò che è più importante fu il loro esempio che permise ai resti della grande unità di potersi congiungere con l'VIII armata italiana che stava ripiegando. Per quanto riguarda invece il XXVI battaglione mobilitato Carabinieri Reali fu inviato nell'ottobre 1942 in Russia e partecipò, in qualità di unità combattente, a tutte le fasi delle battaglie di arretramento che videro la costante avanzata dei russi.

sorry about the shiur cutting out after 7 minutes. Unfortunately, there is no recording for the rest of the shiur.

At the last count, 221 million people have migrated, ie moved from their “country of usual residence”; that's 3.5% of the world's population. Of these, just short of 80 million were forcibly moved from their homes as refugees, asylum seekers, or internally displaced. But there are many that move to join their families, to study or to seek a new life.  I was lucky enough to catch up with one such person seeking a new life.  She's a gem.

This morning (10/6/22), in our Friday Q&A (bumped up to Thursday because I'll be leaving for Sukkos), we covered five questions, depending on how you count: (1) Why are there so many "Al Cheit"s in the Yom ha'Kippurim Vidui which pertain to speech? (2) How can one tell whether something is hashgachah pratis or not? (3) What does Judaism say about "the trolly problem"? (4) What are the parameters of Birkas ha'Gomel? and (5) How do we reconcile the reality we see with the Torah's portrait of the idyllic life we will enjoy when we keep the mitzvos?----------מקורות:משלי יח:כא רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר אהבה, סדר התפילה נגרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות יסודי התורה פרק הרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר זמנים, הלכות שבת ב:א-גרמב"ן - דברים יא:יג (which was not actually cited in the Q&A, but is the source of my answer to the last question)The Metaphysical Implications of Stubbing Your ToeHashgachah Clarification from the Rosh ha'Yeshiva ----------This week's Torah learning has been sponsored by Joey and Estee, whom I'd like to thank for being such an important part of my life.----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- My name is Chris Herron, and I narrate audiobooks. In 2015, poor control of my diabetes left me legally blind for the better part of a year. The doctors predicted an 80% chance I would never see again, but I changed the way I was living and through sheer willpower beat the odds. During this time I couldn't read or write. Two things that I had been turning to for comfort since I was a small child. With the sheer amount of stress I was under, this was devastating. My wife took me by the arm, lead me into the local library, and read out titles of audiobooks to me. I chose the audiobook versions of books I had loved such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more. They brought my favorite stories to life in ways I never thought possible and helped me through the darkest time of my life. Once my vision recovered, I maintained a love for audiobooks. I decided I would turn my focus from being a writer to becoming a narrator. I devised Tall Tale TV as a way to help out all the amazing authors in the writing communities I had come to love before my ordeal. I created Tall Tale TV to help aspiring authors by providing them with a promotional audiobook video. A way to showcase their skills with the written word. They say the strongest form of advertisement is word of mouth, so I provide a video to a platform of readers to help get people talking. Help them spread the word.

Les Biélorusses ont fêté ce vendredi 25 mars la journée de la liberté, une fête célébrée uniquement par l'opposition. Ce jour-là, en 1918, les Biélorusses déclaraient l'indépendance de la République démocratique de Biélorussie. Aujourd'hui, le pays sert de base aux Russes pour attaquer l'Ukraine. Une situation qui inquiète les Biélorusses dans l'opposition. De notre correspondante à Vilnius, Les Biélorusses de Vilnius sont venus protester en silence devant l'ambassade. Ils ne veulent pas de ce conflit contre un pays qui est leur proche voisin. Jusqu'à présent, les liens entre Gomel, la grande ville à l'est de la Biélorussie, étaient bien plus denses avec Tchernihiv, en Ukraine, qu'avec Minsk, beaucoup plus éloignée. Mais c'est depuis cette région que les troupes russes attaquent l'Ukraine. Comme le raconte Andrej Stryjak, à la tête de Bysol, grande organisation de solidarité, les Biélorusses sur place essayent par tous les moyens de les en empêcher. « Nos partisans sabotent les chemins de fer et ça ne peut être réparé que manuellement. Cela ralentit la progression des missiles. Et tous les missiles qui n'arrivent pas à temps pour être chargé dans les bombardiers russes, ne sont pas lancés sur de nombreuses villes en Ukraine. » Un rôle clé ? Depuis leur pays, les Biélorusses tentent d'acheminer de l'aide humanitaire. Ceux qui se trouvent en Ukraine forment des unités de combattants. Andrej Viozanau enseigne à l'université biélorusse en exil à Vilnius. Il a des racines ukrainiennes et a grandi à Marioupol. Depuis l'étranger, aider les Ukrainiens financièrement est compliqué. « Les sanctions qui s'appliquent à la Biélorussie restreignent les possibilités d'aide. Nos comptes en banque sont bloqués et je ne peux plus verser de l'argent pour aider l'armée ukrainienne. » Dès le 24 février, l'opposante Svetlana Tikhanovskaia a mis sur pied un comité anti-guerre. « Il n'y a pas de trait d'égalité entre Loukachenko et les Biélorusses », rappelle Franak Viacorka, son conseiller. « Même les soutiens de Loukachenko sont choqués. Ils n'approuvent pas cette guerre. En Biélorussie, seulement 3% de la population est pour cette opération selon des sondages. Si les troupes biélorusses pénètrent en Ukraine, cela va provoquer des troubles. » Craignant la mobilisation générale et l'aggravation de la situation, de nombreux Biélorusses tentent de quitter le pays. Pour Andrej Strizhak de l'organisation Bysol, l'issue de conflit est très importante pour la Biélorussie. « Plus la guerre en Ukraine affaiblira la Russie et Poutine, plus nos chances sont grandes de nous affirmer comme un pays. » À Vilnius, les Biélorusses ne veulent savoir qu'une chose : leurs soldats ont-ils déjà ou non franchi la frontière avec l'Ukraine ?

俄乌代表团在战火中谈判｜Russian, Ukrainian delegations talk as battles continueTalks between Ukraine and Russia began on Monday noon local time and were still ongoing as of press time in the Gomel region of Belarus near the border with Ukraine.当地时间2月28日中午，乌克兰和俄罗斯代表团在与乌克兰接壤的白俄罗斯戈梅利地区开始谈判。截至发稿时，谈判仍在进行。All Moscow's security concerns must be taken into account to achieve a settlement in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday during a telephone conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron.俄罗斯总统普京2月28日与法国总统马克龙通电话，表示乌克兰冲突的调解只有在无条件考虑俄在安全领域合法利益才能进行。Putin said that Russia's security concerns included "Russia's sovereignty over Crimea", as well as the country's commitment to solving the tasks of Ukraine's demilitarization and de-Nazification, and the issue of Ukraine's neutrality, the Kremlin said in a statement.据俄罗斯总统网站消息，普京表示，俄在安全领域合法利益包括承认俄罗斯对克里米亚的主权，解决乌克兰国家的非军事化和非纳粹化等问题，并确保其中立地位。Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's office had said it would seek an immediate cease-fire and the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine at the talks.乌克兰总统办公室表示，谈判的“关键事项”是“立即停火和（俄罗斯）从乌克兰撤军”。At the start of the talks, Belarusian Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei assured the delegation members that they would "feel completely secure" during the talks.会谈开始后，白俄罗斯外长马克伊致欢迎辞，向双方保证“绝对安全”。The Russian delegation included officials from the foreign and defense ministries and Putin's office, while the Ukrainian side has sent six senior officials, including the Ukrainian defense minister.俄罗斯代表团成员包括来自外交部、国防部和总统办公室的官员，而乌方派出了包括乌克兰国防部长列兹尼科夫在内的六名高级官员。Earlier, Zelensky said he was skeptical about the talks.泽连斯基早些时候称他对这次会谈保持怀疑。Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency and the Federal Tourism Agency revealed late on Sunday that they were working with the Russian Foreign Ministry to evacuate Russian citizens from European nations as they continue to impose sanctions on Russia, cutting off Russian aircraft from their airspaces.27日晚间，俄罗斯航空运输局和旅游局表示，他们正在与俄罗斯外交部合作，从欧洲各国撤离俄罗斯公民，因为他们继续对俄罗斯实施制裁，禁止俄罗斯飞机进入其领空。Satellite images released on Sunday evening showed a large convoy of Russian ground forces in Ivankiv, which is about 64 kilometers from Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital.27日晚间，卫星图片显示，俄罗斯大规模地面部队集结在基辅西北方向64公里处的伊万基夫。The convoy extends for over 5 km and was moving in the direction of Kyiv. There are hundreds of military vehicles in the convoy, including tanks and self-propelled artillery.地面部队长约5.2公里，正在向基辅方向推进。其拥有数百辆军用车辆，包括坦克和自行火炮。Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said on Monday that Russian forces had established "total air superiority" over Ukraine.俄罗斯国防部新闻发言人科纳申科夫当地时间28日发布消息说，俄空军已夺取整个乌克兰制空权。 He said they had destroyed eight Buk M-1 air defense system vehicles, an S-300 missile system, three radars and five aircraft in the past 24 hours.科纳申科夫称，在过去的24小时里，俄军已经摧毁了8个“山毛榉-M1”防空导弹系统，1个S-300防空导弹系统，3座雷达站和5架飞机。"Since the beginning of the operation, Russian forces have hit 1,114 Ukrainian military infrastructure facilities, ... destroyed 314 tanks and other armored vehicles, 57 multiple rocket launch systems, 121 field artillery pieces and mortars," he said.“自俄罗斯开展特别军事行动以来，俄军已摧毁乌克兰军事基础设施的1114处目标，击毁了314辆乌军坦克及其他装甲车、57台多管火箭炮、121门野战炮和迫击炮。” Ukraine's military estimated some 5,300 Russian personnel losses, without saying how many of them were killed or captured.乌克兰国防部副部长马利亚尔称约有5300名俄军士兵伤亡，但并未说明死亡或被捕的俄军数字。Satellite images also reveal damage at Antonov airport in Hostomel, Ukraine, which is about 4.4 km from Kyiv.卫星图像还显示，距基辅约4.4公里、位于乌克兰霍斯托梅尔的安东诺夫机场受损。Black smoke was still billowing into the sky when the images were captured. The damage was caused by recent airstrikes and heavy fighting in and near the airport.拍摄照片时，黑烟仍在天空中滚滚升起。机场损毁是由最近的空袭和发生在机场内及附近的激烈战斗造成的。Ukrainian forces said on Sunday they had defeated a Russian incursion into Kharkiv, Ukraine's second city, 500 km from east of Kyiv.乌克兰军队28日表示，他们已经击败了俄罗斯对乌克兰第二大城市哈尔科夫的入侵，该城市距离基辅以东500公里。 Oleg Sinegubov, a regional official, said Kharkiv had been brought under Ukrainian control.哈尔科夫州长奥列格·塞内古博夫表示，乌克兰军队已经重新控制了哈尔科夫。Moscow has made better progress in the south, however, and said it was besieging the cities of Kherson and Berdyansk.然而，俄罗斯军队向乌克兰南部挺进，武装力量包围了赫尔松市和别尔江斯克市。In Kyiv, many residents spent another night in shelters or cellars as Ukrainian forces said they were fighting off Russian "sabotage groups".在基辅的乌克兰军队表示他们正在与俄罗斯的“破坏组织”作战，许多居民在避难所或地窖里度过了又一个夜晚。But Sunday was relatively calm compared to the first days of fighting and the city was under a blanket curfew until Monday morning.与战斗的前几天相比，27日相对平静。截至28日早上，基辅一直处于全面宵禁状态。commitment 英 [kəˈmɪtmənt]; 美 [kəˈmɪtmənt]n.忠诚，献身；承诺，保证；奉献，投入；热情，决心；义务，责任；花费，使用（资金、时间、人力）；需要定期支付的款项sanction 英 [ˈsæŋkʃn]; 美 [ˈsæŋkʃn]n.制裁；处罚，惩罚；（正式）许可，批准；（尤指基督教会的）法令，法律；（伦理学）约束力；支持，鼓励v.认可，准许；对……实施制裁，处罚convoy英 [ˈkɒnvɔɪ]; 美 [ˈkɑːnvɔɪ]n.（尤指护卫）舰队，车队v.护送，为……护航artillery英 [ɑːˈtɪləri]; 美 [ɑːrˈtɪləri]n.火炮，大炮；炮兵，炮兵部队armored 英 [ˈɑːməd]; 美 [ˈɑːrmərd]adj.装甲的curfew 英 [ˈkɜːfjuː]; 美 [ˈkɜːrfjuː]n.宵禁令，宵禁时间；（尤指儿童）晚间必须回家的时间；晚钟；打晚钟时刻

Most recently, she signed a contract with Vernacular Books for her novel Nightwood. When she is not busy writing or teaching, Elana is on a plane headed somewhere far away and exotic in search of new monsters. We talk to Elana about her soon-to-be-released tribute to California, Nightwood from Vernacular Books. Elana shares her thoughts on the intersection, or not, of her academic work and her creative works.  She writes and publishes frequently and we wanted to know how she manages her time .Elana explains her world-driven writing. We were thrilled to hear that the monsters are her favorites and the surprising place that the inspiration for them comes. Elana won the 2020 Gravity Award for “Where the Streets Have No Name”, we asked her about the winning story and about the award. She shares a bit about her process for writing a piece and how long it takes her. In addition to Nightwood, Elana's novella Little Sister is coming out on October 15 from Crystal Lake Publishing. Elana shares her childhood memories of the USSR, KBG visits, the strong women in her family, and the forgotten history that inspired the story.  We chatted about her piece The Niddah as her response to the pandemic and what we can learn from it.Find out more about Elana and her work here:https://www.citiesoflightanddarkness.comand here:https://www.amazon.com/Elana-GomelFind some of her works here:The Niddah from Apex Magazinehttps://apex-magazine.com/the-niddah/Tanri from Of Metal and Magichttps://ofmetalandmagicpublishing.wordpress.com/tanri/Pareidolia from Frost Zone Zinehttps://frostzonezi**When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.*Disclaimer: Reference to any specific product or entity does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by the Podcasters.
