Mindy Levine had a pretty conventional beginning to life, she went to Yeshiva day schools, began a rewarding career as a chemistry professor, got married, and life was smooth sailing. Then, the unthinkable happened when she was pregnant with her youngest and his twin and unfortunately delivered the twin as a stillborn. With determination and perseverance, Mindy continued with life, and eventually came to Israel and made aliyah, which came with its unique struggles as she got divorced from her husband and quickly after her 3.5-year-old daughter came out as trans. While Mindy, her son, and the municipality tried to issue a 'don't ask don't tell' policy, this policy broke as some parents found out and exposed Mindy's son. This caused intense legal battles and a PR war.Mindy was put on the air by YNet, Kan, The Pink News, The Times of Israel, World Israel News, and more. Today, Mindy shares her story with us. What an honor it is to have her on. As shared in the podcast, Mindy gives special thanks to Havruta, an organization for LGBTQ+ people who are on the religious spectrum.Thank you for listening!**For updates and conversations about these episodes follow me at @talesoftamar

We find amazing guidance toward making everyone into a friend, a havruta, and a teacher. But this does not meet all of our human needs in friendship. There are people whom we love beyond their utility, and in this need, we may have ventured beyond what the Torah thinks of as friendship. Ruth and Naomi offer some guidance in this realm.
Are our friends allowed to give us real feedback? Have we been relegated to a sort of automatic support network whose job it is to simply affirm whatever it is that our friends think? Do we expect that from others? If so, then who sharpens us?

Nathan Rodrigue est un théosophe, philosophe, écrivain et full-stack developer. Et aussi, c'est ma Havruta. Une Havruta, c'est quoi ? D'abord, c'est un bon copain, c'est quelqu'un avec qui tu t'assois régulièrement pour étudier le Talmud, poser des questions profondes sur le monde, sur soi, sur Dieu. Il y a peu de gens de qui on apprend autant que de sa Havruta, et encore plus quand c'est Nathan Rodrigue. Je ne connais personne d'autre qui rassemble autant de connaissance, de profondeur et de largesse d'esprit avec le talent et le génie de Nathan. Je ne suis pas prophète, mais Nathan, il ira loin.

Rabbi Jeffrey Saks talks with Dr. Elie Holzer about his new book "A Philosophy of Havruta: Understanding and Teaching the Art of Text Study in Pairs" (Academic Studies Press). What are the implications for moral education in using havruta paired learning in Jewish studies? Is it merely a technique or are there larger affective goals at work? How can teachers use havruta study to enable students to both challenge and support each other?
