Podcasts about israeliness

This morning we join Itim (a wonderful organization in Israel) and over 110 communities around the world the world speaking about the inspiration all Jews receive from those who choose to become Jewish. We focus on Ethiopian Jewry in Israel and the lessons we can all learn from this august community. This is excerpted from a longer and more complex interview by Daniel Gordis with Dr. Marva Shalev Marom, who describes a new "Israeliness" which holds great promise for Israel and the global Jewish People. 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.

Episode 57.As an American who made Aliyah (moved to Israel) about a year ago with her family, she has found herself in an all-too-real Israel. Her lifelong liberal leaning into the Ruach (spirit) and not the war of the prayer she grew up with, has been shattered. Discovering that both spirit and war is necessary has been humbling. That said, joining the ranks of volunteers, in her case doing agricultural work near the Gaza border, has reconnected her with the original vision of Israel. Moreover, being swept up in the national spirit has been like nothing she's ever experienced. On a spiritual level, she has found both yoga and the ancient words of the Shabbat service to be grounding.Highlights:·       Amidah prayer evokes unity and solidarity.·       Individual spirituality, synagogue community, and national spirit.·       National spirit and sense of togetherness and resilience.·       Finding light and hope in times of trauma.·       Intensified Jewishness and Israeliness since October 7th.Social Media links for Tara:  Website – https://talkingpeace.org.ilSocial Media links for Méli:Talking with God Project – https://www.talkingwithgodproject.orgLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/melisolomon/Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100066435622271Transcript:  Follow the podcast!The Living Our Beliefs podcast offers a place to learn about other religions and faith practices.

What can public and private observances of Rosh Hashana teach us about the relationship between Jewishness and Israeliness today? Donniel Hartman, Yossi Klein Halevi and Elana Stein Hain explore how the High Holidays are experienced in Israel, what this tells us about the state of Judaism and Jewish identity in the country, and how Israeli observance is different from that of American Jews.

האמת היא שהפרק הזה לא היה מתוכנן, אבל חשבנו שלאור התזמון שבו צפוי לעלות הפרק הבא, ננסה לתת איזשהו הקשר של אחד הימים שהוא סמל של הישראליות ואולי אפילו היהדות, ימי זכרון, וחלק מהאתוס של המעבר שלנו לארה״ב. To be truthful this episode was unplanned, but looking at the calendar, the next one was supposed to coincide with one of the most important days of Israeliness, if not Judaism as a whole, which is  "memorial days". We thought an episode connecting it to the ethos of our U.S. relocation would be more appropriate.

Moshe Sakal's novel The Diamond Setter brings old Middle Eastern themes into contemporary Israel, and weaves them into a story comprising of a rediscovered Jewish-Arab heritage, reinvented Israeliness, cross-border relations and homosexuality. This season of the Tel Aviv Review is made possible by The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, which promotes humanistic, democratic, and liberal values in the social discourse in Israel. Tel Aviv Review is also supported by the Public Discourse Grant from the Israel Institute, which is dedicated to strengthening the field of Israel Studies in order to promote knowledge and enhance understanding of modern Israel.

Gidi Grinstein, the founder of Reut Group and one of the Jewish world’s great thinkers and authors, joins Jay Sanderson to discuss the intersection between “Israeliness” and Jewishness — and how the world’s biggest problems are always opportunities.

To explore Israel’s new Nation-State Law, we talked with Yasmeen abu-Fraiha, a young Israeli-Arab of Bedouin origin, a medical doctor and researcher, who is a glaring Israeli success story. Two years ago, at the age of 27, the Israeli financial newspaper Globes included her in a list of the 40 most promising young Israelis. Abu-Fraiha is an “assimilated” Israeli-Arab, who grew up in a Jewish community in southern Israel and whose Hebrew is better than her Arabic. Most of her friends are Jewish Israeli. She knows the history of Zionism better than most Israeli Jews. Still, she feels like the state – her state – is trying to deny her Israeliness through the Knesset’s latest legislative action. Abu-Fraiha is currently acting as the Executive Director of GENESIS, an NGO she founded that aims to prevent genetic diseases in the Middle East, especially in the Bedouin community, by spearheading premarital genetic testing and matching. She holds a BSc in Medical Science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and an MD from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Over the last four episodes, we’ve told the stories behind some of Israel’s most iconic songs. When we set off on this musical journey, we hoped to find a unicorn, a unifying island of Israeliness that escapes the usual polarization which dominates most conversations about Israel. Instead, however, we discovered that music not only reflects, but often amplifies, our contrasts. We all sing in different keys, with different words and in different voices. And that, at the end of the day, is what Israel is all about. It is not that the inherent complications go away or stop existing. It’s just that somehow, miraculously perhaps, the cacophony can almost sound harmonious. In today’s episode, the final installment of the Mixtape miniseries, we turn to Yitzhak Rabin’s 1995 assassination, and to two songs – one taking us decades back, the other catapulting us forward into the 21st century – that symbolize the messy multifariousness of Israeli society.

In our second episode, the first of a two-part series, Skyler interrogates the question of "Israeliness." How is the identity shaped by the land, by immigration, by political boundaries and borders, and by war? We speak with Yariv Ben-Eliezer, the grandson of Israel's founding father, David Ben-Gurion, about what he remembers from his years growing up with the young state. Yoav Koko tells the story of his Iraqi grandfather's unwilling immigration to Israel. Annika Hernroth-Rothstein talks about the meaning of Israel from a religious perspective. Yvonne Saba picks apart the difficulties of growing up between identities as an Israeli-Arab.Like what you hear?
