After Revelation: The Rabbinic Past in the Medieval Islamic World offers a dynamic new perspective on medieval Jewish legal thought and its integration in the wider Islamic world. Here, Marc D. Herman demonstrates that Jews were fully conversant in their contemporaries' ideas about revelation, law, and legal interpretation. Bookended by the two luminaries of medieval Judaism--Saadia Gaon and Moses Maimonides--After Revelation analyzes the legal theory that medieval Jews produced in Islamic lands, mostly in Arabic, and reveals previously unrecognized commonalities between Jewish and Islamic constructions of religious law. Herman tackles one of the central doctrines of post-biblical Judaism: that God had supplemented the written Hebrew Bible with an Oral Torah. Tracing this idea from Baghdad to Córdoba to Cairo, he shows that the Oral Torah took many new forms in the medieval Islamic world. After Revelation makes plain that medieval Judaism took the shapes that it did largely because of contact with Islam.

100 games played, and things are looking a little iffy. The boys break down the Blue Jays series, Matthew rants about Justin Verlander, again, Ben calls out Logan Webb and Robbie Ray for being hungover, and they pick on instant replay. But let's face it, the break didn't solve the real problem: the offense.Our new cocktail podcast, The Perfect Sip, is on hiatus but new episodes will come some day, probably. (Yeah, it's taking a long time ... life, you know?) If you haven't listened yet, you can catch up here: https://the-perfect-sip.captivate.fm/listenSpeaking of cocktails, today Ben is drinking an Olallieberry Bourbon Smash while Matthew is drinking a Toasted Coconut Old Fashioned. Recipes below.Olallieberry Bourbon Smash2 oz Bourbon1/2 oz Simple Syrup2 Lemons wedges8-10 mint leaves1/4 cup OlallieberiesAdd the simple syrup, mint, lemon wedges and olallieberries to a mixing tin and muddle thoroughly. (If you are room challenged, muddle in stages starting with syrup and lemon, remove lemons add berries and muddle, and muddle mint last or not at all, it's going to get pulverized in the shaking anyway.) Fill your shaking tin with ice and shake until well chilled. Double strain into a rocks glass over cubed ice (crushed ice is traditional) and garnish with the mint spring and olallieberries on a cocktail pick. (Choose big one, the olallieberry has a weird anatomy making them hard to skewer straight through the middle.)(Toasted) Coconut Old Fashioned2 oz Bourbon1/2 oz Coconut Gum Syrup1 Dashes Angostura Bitters1 Dashes Black Walnut BittersOrange Peel for garnishTo make Syrup: 1/2 cup Demerara Sugar, 1/2 cup Coconut Sugar (Or 1 cup Demerara), 1/2 cup water, 1/2 tsp gum Arabic powder, 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (toasted).

The Book of Proverbs - Bible Study ~ 2025
In light of the profound physical and mental traumas of colonization endured by North Africans, historians of recent decades have primarily concentrated their studies of North Africa on colonial violence, domination, and shock. The choice is an understandable one. But in his new monograph, A Slave between Empires: A Transimperial History of North Africa (Columbia University Press, 2020), M'hamed Oualdi asks how a history of the modern Maghreb might look if we did not perceive it solely through the prism of European colonization, and argues that widening our gaze might force us to redefine our understanding of colonialism — and its limits. As a sequel of sorts to his first book, Oualdi explores the life and afterlife of one figure, the manumitted slave and Tunisian dignitary Husayn Ibn ‘Abdallah, as an aperture through which to understand the financial, intellectual, and kinship networks that mingled with processes of colonialism and Ottoman governance in unexpected ways to produce the modern Maghreb. A master class in how historians might untangle the relationship between the personal and the political, A Slave between Empires centers Husayn — and North Africa — at the crossroads of competing ambitions, imperial and intimate. Engaging with sources in Arabic, Ottoman Turkish, and European languages, and corralling French, Tunisian, and Anglophone historiographies into one conversation, Oualdi's newest book is not to be missed. M'hamed Oualdi is full professor at Sciences Po in Paris. Nancy Ko is a Paul & Daisy Soros Fellow and a PhD student in History at Columbia University, where she examines the relationship between Jewish difference and (concepts of) philanthropy and property in the late- and post-Ottoman and Qajar Middle East.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I, Stewart Alsop, speak with Thamir Ali Al-Rahedi, host of the From First Principles podcast on YouTube, about the nature of questions and answers, their role in business and truth-seeking, and the trade-offs inherent in technologies like AI. We explore the tension between generalists and specialists, the influence of scientism on culture, and how figures like Steve Jobs embodied the power of questions to shape markets and innovations. Thamir also shares insights from his Arabic book summary platform and his cautious approach to using large language models. You can find Thamir's work on YouTube at From 1st Principles with Thamir and on X at @Thamir's View.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop introduces Thamir Ali Al-Rahedi and they discuss Stewart's book on the nature of questions, curiosity, and shifting his focus to questions in business.05:00 They explore how questions generate value and answers capture it, contrasting dynamic questioning with static certainty in business and philosophy.10:00 The market is described as a subconscious feedback loop, and they examine the role of truth-seeking in entrepreneurship, using Steve Jobs as an example.15:00 Discussion turns to Steve Jobs' spiritual practices, LSD, and how unseen factors and focus shaped Apple's success.20:00 Thamir and Stewart debate starting with spiritual or business perspectives in writing, touching on the generalist curse and discernment in creative work.25:00 They reflect on writing habits, moving from short-form to long-form, and using AI as a thinking partner or tool.30:00 Thamir shares his cautious approach to large language models, viewing them as trade-offs, and discusses building an Arabic book summary platform to inspire reading and curiosity.Key InsightsThe dynamic interplay of questions and answers – Thamir Ali Al-Rahedi explains that questions generate value by opening possibilities, while answers capture and stabilize that value. He sees the best answers as those that spark even more questions, creating a feedback loop of insight rather than static certainty.Business and philosophy demand different relationships to truth – In business, answers often serve as the foundation for action and revenue generation, requiring a “false sense of certainty.” By contrast, philosophy thrives in uncertainty, allowing questions to remain open-ended and exploratory without the pressure to resolve them.The market as a subconscious mirror – Both Thamir and Stewart Alsop describe the market as a form of truth that reflects not only conscious desires but also subconscious patterns and impulses. This understanding reframes economic behavior as a dialogue between collective psychology and external systems.Steve Jobs as a case study of truth-seeking in entrepreneurship – The conversation highlights Steve Jobs's blend of spiritual exploration and technological vision, including his exposure to Eastern philosophy and LSD, as an example of how deep questioning and unconventional insight can manifest in world-changing innovations.AI as a double-edged tool for generalists – Thamir views large language models with caution, seeing them as highly specific tools that risk outsourcing critical thinking if used too early in the learning process. He frames technologies as trade-offs rather than pure solutions, emphasizing the importance of retaining one's cognitive autonomy.The generalist's curse and the art of discernment – Both guests wrestle with how to focus and finish creative projects without sacrificing breadth. Thamir suggests writing medium-length pieces as a way to engage deeply without the paralysis of long-form commitments, while Stewart reflects on how AI accelerates his exploration of open threads.A call for cultural renewal through reading and reflection – Thamir shares his initiative to build an Arabic book summary platform aimed at reviving reading habits, especially among younger audiences. He sees curated human-written content as a gateway to generalist thinking and a counterbalance to instant, algorithm-driven consumption.
