Let us know!The CopDoc Podcast - Season 9 - Episode 160What if police departments made decisions based on solid evidence rather than gut feelings? Dr. David Weisburd, a dual faculty member at George Mason University and Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has spent decades proving that scientific approaches can revolutionize policing.From his unexpected start evaluating one of America's first community policing programs in 1984, Weisburd discovered something remarkable: crime isn't random. His groundbreaking "law of crime concentration" demonstrates that approximately 5% of streets produce about 50% of crime in cities worldwide. This discovery challenged conventional wisdom and launched the hotspot policing movement that continues to transform law enforcement today.Contrary to what many might assume, Weisburd's research in high-crime neighborhoods reveals that residents overwhelmingly want more police presence, not less. When surveyed, only 6-7% of people living in these areas wanted fewer officers. What they actually desire isn't the absence of police but officers who treat them with respect and dignity—a finding that led Weisburd to conduct successful experiments combining focused policing with procedural justice training.Despite these advances, Weisburd argues that policing research remains drastically underfunded compared to fields like medicine. While the NIH receives around $45 billion annually, criminal justice research gets merely $200 million. This disparity explains why we lack what Weisburd calls a "cookbook" for police—practical, evidence-based guidance for officers working in different contexts and communities.Throughout our conversation, Weisburd shares stories from his international work, the challenges of conducting research during times of conflict in Israel, and his vision for a National Institute of Policing that would elevate law enforcement science to the level it deserves. Whether you're a police professional, researcher, or concerned citizen, this episode offers rare insight into how evidence-based approaches can build safer, more just communities.Listen now to understand why police science deserves billions, not millions, and how research can help departments navigate today's complex challenges with greater effectiveness and legitimacy.Contact us: copdoc.podcast@gmail.com Website: www.copdocpodcast.comIf you'd like to arrange for facilitated training, or consulting, or talk about steps you might take to improve your leadership and help in your quest for promotion, contact Steve at stephen.morreale@gmail.com

The ancient Mediterranean teemed with gods. For centuries, a practical religious pluralism prevailed. How, then, did one Deity come to dominate the politics and piety of the late Roman Empire? In ‘Ancient Christianities,' Paula Fredriksen traces the evolution of early Christianity, or rather, of early Christianities through five centuries of Empire, mapping its pathways from the hills of Judea to the halls of Rome and Constantinople. It is a story with a sprawling cast of characters: not only theologians, bishops, and emperors, but also gods and demons, angels and magicians, astrologers and ascetics, saints and heretics, aristocratic patrons and millenarian enthusiasts. All played their part in the development of what became and remains an energetically diverse biblical religion. Paula Fredriksen continues with host Fred Stella on the various religious, political, and social reasons that what most call Christianity in the 21st century is the worldview that won out in the marketplace of ideas 2,000 years ago. Paula Fredriksen has been distinguished visiting professor in the Department of Comparative Religion at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, since 2009 (now emerita). Fredriksen served as an historical consultant and featured speaker in many media, including for the BBC production The Lives of Jesus (1996) and for U.S. News & World Report's "The Life and Times of Jesus". Fredriksen's book From Jesus to Christ: The Origins of the Early Images of Jesus served as a template for the Frontline documentary From Jesus to Christ: The First Christians. Theme music "Nigal."

In this episode, we speak with Aharon Horwitz, Co-Founder and CEO of Fullpath Aharon Horwitz isn't your typical founder story. He didn't start with a clear roadmap or a VC-funded plan. Instead, he started with mission, grit, and no backup plan. Before leading one of Israel's fastest-growing startups, Aharon was fighting antisemitism as a student activist at Columbia University, and founding a social venture accelerator to empower marginalized communities. Today, as CEO of Fullpath, Aharon is scaling a Jerusalem-based company that's gaining serious momentum-and doing it in his own way, driven by mission, not ego. “We didn't even know we were going to get money to build it. We were just like, we're going to do this.” This episode is about resilience, long-game thinking, and the realities of leadership when there's no roadmap-just relentless belief. In this conversation, we explore: What it takes to grow a startup from hustle to scale. Aharon shares what it was like to grow Fullpath from 30 to over 250 employees-navigating each stage with new challenges and new stakes. “I remember when it was really difficult for us to get 20 paying customers… and then I looked back and we had 350 clients. Then you just started to feel a change in how the go to market worked, where it wasn't all through this Sisyphean feeling of pushing that rock up the hill. Yes, I'm still pushing rocks, but there's also people who are pulling them up, and it's getting easier and easier.” The raw early days: bus benches, borrowed spaces, no rules. From sleeping in stations to squatting in libraries, Aharon recounts the extremes of the company's earliest days. “The stories I can tell you of that period were pretty intense… they included running out of money, trying to figure out how we're going to pay our bills, personally and professionally for months at a time…,working out of dirty apartments because we we couldn't find an office, or going to the public library at the Hebrew University, and just working there until they kicked us out” Mission as a driver-and obligation as a motivator. Once angel investors came on board, the mindset shifted: “I have to make this work. I took in other people's money. This has to become a success.” The value and risk of design partnerships. Aharon breaks down the strategy behind building with a customer-even if it doesn't scale at first-and why Israeli startups excel at this approach. “build it in a way that doesn't scale with that customer, and you understand it, and then you scale, then you figure out how to scale it.” Making the hard calls under pressure. He opens up about rough investor conversations and risky decisions during tough periods-some that led to Fullpath's most explosive growth. “We had to take some risks that made me feel like, ‘Oh, this is too much.' But we decided we're going to take the risks. We're going to we're going to do what we need to do, and if necessary, clean things up afterwards. And you know, in the end, it was one of our best growth periods ever; we grew like crazy. Leadership as balance-not certainty. This episode is for anyone who's ever wondered if they have what it takes to start. It's for those ready to stop waiting for perfect conditions, trust their instincts, and follow a hunch—even without a perfect plan.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has for the first time recognized the genocide carried out by Ottoman Empire against Armenians in the early 20th century. He made the comment in an English language podcast interview with Patrick Bet-David. Armenians have long sought international recognition of the killings by the Ottoman Empire, which reportedly left some 1.5 million of their people dead, as a genocide. Turkey strongly rejects the genocide claim. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Yoav Lev who teaches Armenian Studies at Jerusalem's Hebrew University.

In the second half of this two-part conversation, host Alan Stoga continues his discussion with journalist Francesca Borri, former Iranian diplomat Hossein Mousavian, and Hebrew University lecturer Abraham Silver. Together they probe deeper into the aftermath of the recent war, the fragility of the ceasefire, and the broader question of whether Iran and Israel are on the path to peace—or simply preparing for the next conflict.

Six weeks after Iran and Israel fought a brief but intense 12-day war, a fragile ceasefire holds—but for how long, and at what cost? In this two-part conversation, host Alan Stoga is joined by journalist Francesca Borri, former Iranian diplomat Hossein Mousavian, and Hebrew University lecturer Abraham Silver to unpack what really happened, what it means for the region, and whether peace is possible—or if this was just the first of many wars to come.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with Prof. Dan Turner, the head of a pediatric gastroenterology unit at one of Israel’s most respected hospitals located in Jerusalem and Deputy Dean of the School of Medicine at the Hebrew University. Turner, alongside his work as a physician, educator and researcher, is also an ardent activist in a variety of fields concerning human rights and dignity, inside and outside of medicine. Our podcast conversation was spurred by his response to images of Muhammad al-Mutawaq, a severely emaciated 18-month-old living in Gaza, which were published on the front pages of newspapers around the world, prompting a global outcry about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Following an independent journalist's investigation, it was revealed that al-Mutawaq suffered from severe illnesses, including neurological and muscle disorders. For Turner, al-Mutawaq's underlying medical conditions don't excuse his appearance -- quite the contrary. The malnourished child is emblematic of Israel's inhumane treatment of all Palestinians, from security prisoners handcuffed in hospital beds to babies who require special medical care in Gazan tent cities, he says. In a wide-ranging interview, Turner explains how he was "awoken" to his duty to advocate for Palestinians' basic medical care and treatment with dignity. He shares the blowback he has received -- and why he now sparks conversations about the ongoing war in Gaza by "looking like a caveman." And so this week, we ask Prof. Dan Turner, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves.

We're delighted to feature this conversation as part of our new series on Liberal Virtues and Values. That liberalism is under threat is now a cliché—yet this has done nothing to stem the global resurgence of illiberalism. Part of the problem is that liberalism is often considered too “thin” to win over the allegiance of citizens, and that liberals are too afraid of speaking in moral terms. Liberalism's opponents, by contrast, speak to people's passions and deepest moral sentiments. This series, made possible with the generous support of the John Templeton Foundation, aims to change that narrative. In podcast conversations and long-form pieces, we'll feature content making the case that liberalism has its own distinctive set of virtues and values that are capable not only of responding to the dissatisfaction that drives authoritarianism, but also of restoring faith in liberalism as an ideology worth believing in—and defending—on its own terms. David Enoch is professor of the philosophy of law at Oxford, and a professor of law and philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is the author of Taking Morality Seriously: A Defense of Robust Realism. In this week's conversation, Yascha Mounk and David Enoch explore why liberalism is being defended in the wrong way, why we should be moral objectivists, and how to fight for liberal values.

In this week's Conflicted Community episode we're joined by Dr. Alick Isaacs, a lecturer at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and co-founder of Siach Shalom. Siach Shalom is am initiative that brings people from all walks of Israeli and wider Middle Eastern society—religious and secular, left and right—together to foster deep listening and dialogue. This conversation explores Dr. Isaacs' personal journey, from his upbringing as a religious Jew in the UK to his military service in Israel during the First Intifada, before exploring how his profound and sometimes difficult experiences shaped his commitment to peace and led him to a deeper spiritual calling grounded in Jewish tradition. This episode delves into the complex ideas behind the Israel-Palestine conflict, moving beyond the usual political talking points, to challenge common perceptions. The pair unpack the difference between the Western concept of "peace" and the Hebrew idea of "shalom" , while also discussing Alick's book, ‘Putting God First', and the idea of a Jewish politics of purpose. This is a conversation that goes to the heart of what it means to heal deep-seated divisions and find a way toward genuine, lasting peace in one of the world's most contested regions.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing. Today, we have a special episode that we pulled from our archives. Just ahead of this year's observance of Tisha B’Av on Sunday, which commemorates the destruction of the First and Second Temples, we are replaying an episode of our former weekly podcast, Times Will Tell, in which we went onsite in Jerusalem to the Temple Mount Sifting Project. We speak with archaeologist Zachi Dvira, who is the co-director of the project. He’ll explain its controversial genesis and continuing struggle. At the end of our conversation, you'll hear as we wet-sift a bucket of earth taken from the Temple Mount. Founded in 2004 near the Mount of Olives, it’s now at a location called Mitzpe Hamasuot, near the Hebrew University. The site is easily accessible and has an auditorium and a shady picnic grove, which was made possible with the help of American Friends of Beit Orot. Dvira calls for all who have not been to help sift through thousands of years of Temple Mount history to "hurry up!"

France will become the first major Western country to recognize a Palestinian state, prompting many to wonder if this will set off a chain reaction. Is it possible that Hamas' savage attack could set off a chain of events that results in the establishment of a Palestinian state?Meanwhile, there has been a lot of press in recent days about starvation among Gazans. Research by Yannay Spitzer of Hebrew University on the price of flour in the Gaza Strip has convinced many reluctant Israelis that this time, unlike before, the reports of starvation are real. In response, Israel announced that it will halt military operations for 10 hours a day in parts of the strip, as Jordan and the UAE resumed airdrops of humanitarian aid. To discuss the food crisis and the significance of President Macron's declaration, we were joined by Call me Back contributors Nadav Eyal and Amit Segal. (00:00) Introduction(04:44) Vote for a Palestinian state(08:04) Hunger crisis in Gaza?(28:05) Hostage and ceasefire negotiations(30:55) Could 10/7 go down as Independence Day for the Palestinians?(39:21) Retrospective on Israel's strategy(46:59) What happens to the hostages?(51:40) OutroCREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorMARIANGELES BURGOS - Additional EditingMAYA RACKOFF - Operations DirectorGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer

Five presidents of Israel's leading academic institutions are calling on the Prime Minister to act immediately to solve the hunger problem in the Gaza Strip. In an open letter to Netanyahu, they state that along with a growing number of the country's residents, they are watching in shock at the footage coming from the Strip, including images of babies dying every day from hunger and disease. The letter to the Prime Minister was signed by the presidents of the Weizmann Institute, the Technion, and the presidents of Tel Aviv University, the Hebrew University, and the Open University. Reporter Arieh O’Sullivan spoke with Prof. Leo Corry, the president of the Open University, about the letter and its effect.

The Bible records that King David's grandson, King Rehoboam, fortified 15 cities in the kingdom of Judah almost 3,000 years ago. The biggest of these was Lachish, recognized as Judah's second most important city after Jerusalem. Prof. Yosef Garfinkel of Hebrew University is currently excavating at Tel Lachish. Two days before the end of the excavation, Let the Stones Speak host Brent Nagtegaal sat down with Professor Garfinkel to view the massive city wall his team is unearthing. https://armstronginstitute.org/1257-new-excavations-king-rehoboams-fortifications-at-lachish

Elijah is a zealous prophet, attacking idolatry and injustice, championing God. He performs miracles, restoring life and calling down fire. When his earthly life ends, he vanishes in a whirlwind, carried off to heaven in a fiery chariot. Was this a spectacular death, or did Elijah escape death entirely? The latter view prevailed. Though residing in heaven, Elijah revisits earth--to help, rescue, enlighten, and eventually herald the Messiah. Because of his messianic role, Jews open the door for Elijah during each seder--the meal commemorating liberation from slavery and anticipating final redemption. Tune in as we speak with Daniel C.

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, Ms. Mona Yacoubian and Mr. Tuvia Gering join us to unpack the latest escalation between Israel and Iran and explore how China is navigating this evolving conflict. They begin by situating the conflict in the aftermath of Hamas's October 7 attack, which triggered a series of strikes by Iranian-backed militias that eventually led to direct Israel-Iran military confrontations. Ms. Yacoubian outlines how Israeli strikes were timed around a perceived window of Iranian vulnerability and rising concerns over Iran's nuclear enrichment levels. Mr. Gering describes a significant paradigm shift in Israeli security doctrine after October 7, and the belief that Iranian threats, both nuclear and conventional, have necessitated preemptive action, especially with the current Trump administration's backing. Ms. Yacoubian highlights the limited material support to Iran from Russia, North Korea, and China, and noted China's preference to prioritize regional economic ties over military entanglement. Mr. Gering delves into the mixed Chinese domestic debates on Iran and explores unconfirmed reports of potential Chinese arms transfers to Iran. Finally, they assess what these developments may mean for China's long-term role in Middle East security, including the possibility of a new security architecture that could include both Israel and Iran, and how Iran's strategic calculations may shift amid growing isolation. Mona Yacoubian is senior adviser and director of the Middle East Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). She has more than thirty years of experience working on the Middle East and North Africa, with a focus on conflict analysis, governance and stabilization challenges, and conflict prevention. She was previously vice president of the Middle East and North Africa Center at the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP), where she managed field programming in Iraq, Libya, and Tunisia as well as Washington, D.C.–based staff. In 2019, she served as executive director of the congressionally appointed Syria Study Group. From 2014 to 2017, Yacoubian served as deputy assistant administrator in the Middle East Bureau at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), where she had responsibility for programming across Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq. Captain (Res.) Tuvia Gering is a China analyst at Planet Nine, a Tel-Aviv and East Asia-based tech company, a visiting researcher at the Diane & Guilford Glazer Foundation Israel-China Policy Center at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), and a nonresident fellow in the Atlantic Council's Global China Hub. Previously, he was a research fellow at the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security (JISS) and the Israeli Chinese Media Center. Gering is the editor and author of Discourse Power on Substack, a newsletter covering leading Chinese perspectives on current affairs, and holds a BA in East Asian studies from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (summa cum laude) and an MPH in disaster and emergency management from Tel Aviv University (summa cum laude).

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Rabbi Shlomo Brody and Dr. Beth Popp, who work with Ematai, an organization focused on end-of-life care, about the process of death and how we ought to live with our own mortality. In this episode we discuss: How do we connect to eternity within this finite existence? What halachic issues must we consider when making end-of-life decisions?What happens to the body of someone who's died? Tune in to hear a conversation about how we can sanctify life in the face of mortality. Interview begins at 18:30Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Brody is the executive director of Ematai and a columnist for The Jerusalem Post.

Avi Kluger is a professor of Organizational Behavior at Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Avi was born in Tel Aviv to Holocaust survivors and is married with three children. And he is also a grandfather. In this episode we discuss the following: I was touched by Avi's vulnerability in sharing how listening has saved his life—twice. After his daughter died by suicide, it was the listening community that Avi had cultivated that helped him carry on, even as his pain and sorrow endured. One friend, in particular, asked Avi to recount the last day he spent with his daughter—and then told him she'd listen to that story 100 more times if he needed to. Listening saved Avi again during an exercise where he realized he'd spent five years on a project simply to prove a point, rather than because he valued it. That moment launched Avi's mission to become a better listener every day of his life. I was especially intrigued by how Avi doesn't dwell on people's listening mistakes. Instead, he helps them discover how to improve. And he extends the same compassion to himself when he falls short.  He simply notices and praises his awareness.  I was impressed by how present Avi was with me, encouraging me to take my time and then referenced earlier parts of our conversation, demonstrating that he truly heard me.  Because of this conversation, I have adopted Avi's goal: to become a better listener every day. And because of this interview, Avi will soon be coming to Kansas to teach a listening seminar, and I cannot wait to learn more from him. When someone truly listens, it creates a magical space-- a meeting of the minds where ideas emerge that could not have been reached alone.     Connect on Social Media: X: https://twitter.com/nate_meikle LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natemeikle/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nate_meikle/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@nate.meikle

We begin with a free-for-all Friday rundown of the latest news stories about the terrible reconciliation bill, bad endorsements from Trump, and more signs of stagflation. The court decision against universal injunctions is one positive story, but there is a huge catch. Also, why is the new CDC director unquestionably defending mRNA shots? Why is this administration continuing the biomedical security state under the mantle of MAHA? Indeed, there is a difference between MAHA and the “medical freedom movement," like the difference between a sword and a shield. We're joined by Hebrew University professor Josh Guetzkow, who just published a pre-print study of a massive population of pregnant women in Israel showing a shocking safety signal from the COVID shots. The COVID shots were associated with a significant increase in fetal deaths among pregnant women who received the shot during the first trimester. Josh discusses how his study is the most airtight to date and how this signal has been ignored until now. He also reviews his findings from two years ago on how the shots given to the public by Pfizer are not the ones studied in clinical trials, yet even the Trump administration continues to assert that they have been studied and properly approved.  Learn more about your ad choices.
