As Jews gather around the seder table for a second Passover with hostages in captivity and an ongoing war, many question how to mark this holiday so closely associated with freedom and renewal. Rabbi Dalia Marx, the Aaron D. Panken professor of Liturgy and Midrash at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Jerusalem, and author of From Time to Time, Journeys in the Jewish Calendar, spoke to KAN reporter Naomi Segal about the seder as a source for reflection and agency.

Last Gathering in person of 2024 ! “Cheerfulness” “Joy” “Gladness” The best relaxation in the world IS IN CHRIST! The Lord does not want us to serve Him like slaves without joy. (Deut 28:47) That is why the Jewish Calendar was filled with 7 festivals. God wants us to be able to celebrate! (Ezra 6:22) Who doesn't like PLEASURE and FUN? However, it is sad to see, how few people are "happy" and "stay" without tools like alcohol, drugs and wild parties!?! Children of the LORD have access to an inner source of “Joy” “Joy” “Gladness” in Christ, which helps us to see the silver lining in every dark cloud. #Vreugde #Pret #Plesier #Vrolikheid #Blydskap #Ekstase

It is divided into periods ('Jubilees') of 49 years. For the most part the narrative follows the familiar account in Genesis, but with some additional details such as the names of Adam and Eve's daughters, and an active role for a demonic entity called 'Mastema'.

If at times one gets the impression that you are reading a first draft of Genesis, you are in good company. R.H. Charles, the translator, a distinguished academic Biblical scholar, concluded that Jubilees was a version of the Pentateuch, written in Hebrew, parts of which later becam7e incorporated into the earliest Greek version of the Jewish Bible, the Septuagint.

The Zionist writer Ahad Ha'am famously remarked that more than the Jewish people kept Shabbat, Shabbat has kept the Jewish people. There is a deep truth that is embedded in the organization of time, the ritualization of communal ceremonies of remembrance and praise, and the recapitulation of the traumas and triumphs of the past: that the calendar can function as a source of national solidarity. Living in rhythm with the Jewish calendar and all that entails is what makes Jews, Jews. The calendar is the instrument that the Jewish people developed to teach our children Jewish history and the fundamental principles of Judaism, and it is what sustains and reinforces those principles throughout the span of a person's life. It serves, you might say, as a strategy for national cohesion. Jewish nationhood depends on the organization of Jewish hours, days, weeks, and months. In this episode of the Tikvah Podcast, Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver speaks with Rabbi Meir Soloveichik, who has just published a new book that interprets each of the Jewish holidays in light of how it contributes to Jewish national belonging. Rabbi Soloveichik leads Congregation Shearith Israel, the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue; is the director of the Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought at Yeshiva University; and is the impresario of the website MeirSoloveichik.com, where you can find all of his writing along with his many video courses and podcasts, including his daily commentary on the Hebrew Bible, Bible365. His new book Sacred Time was published in 2024 by Koren.

Parsha Talk with Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky. We are winding our way to the conclusion of our annual Torah Reading. This week's parashah, Nitzavim-Va'yelekh [Deuteronomy 29:9-31:30] is the penultimate Shabbat reading. The following Shabbat, October 5, is Shabbat Shuvah, the Shabbat between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur; that weekly reading, Ha'azinu, concludes the Shabbat weekly readings on the annual cycle here in the Diaspora. The final parashah, V-zot Ha-b'rakhah [Deuteronomy 33-34] is read on Simhat Torah, this year celebrated on Friday, October 25, 2024. It is a bittersweet celebration this year, as it marks the anniversary of the War in Israel on the Jewish Calendar. Our conversation focused on a few pesukim [sentences] found primarily [or entirely] in parashat Nitzanim [Deuteronomy 29:9-30:20]. In particular, we discussed the theme of t'shuvah, repentance as it is generally translated, or return, which is both relevant to the Torah Reading and the season of the year. We continue to be mindful of the hostages, may they be speedily returned to their families, and the soldiers fighting in defense of Israel, may they be removed from harms way. This is our last recording for 5784. We will resume our show after Rosh Hashanah. With best wishes for a Shabbat Shalom and a Shanah Tovah.

This morning we appreciate today's date on the Jewish Calendar, 14 Iyar, which is Pesach Sheni - an opportunity, in very limited circumstances, for someone who was exempt from offering the Korban Pesach (Paschal Offering) at the right time to do it a month later. We explain this is not a general promise of always having a second chance; sometimes we do, but sometimes we don't. Rather, the significance of this day is to elevate us by the attitude of those seeking this day, to not only do Mitzvot, but to love doing them, and feel we are missing out even when we are legitimately exempt.

Families are gathering around the seder table - this year missing those who are not with us. The October 7th attack, the hostages still in captivity, the ongoing war, and those still displaced from their homes, have deeply affected the spirit of the holiday. Rabbi Dalia Marx, the Aaron D. Panken Professor of Liturgy and Midrash at Hebrew Union College and author of From Time to Time, Journeys in the Jewish Calendar, spoke to KAN's Naomi Segal about Passover in this challenging time, and how we can impart special meaning to the seder.

Today, we have a set Jewish calendar that has been in use for the past 1700 years. However, for the first 1600 years or so of Judaism, we used a variable calendar that was updated monthly based on sightings of the new moon and calculations made by the Sanhedrin, the Supreme Council of Judaism.  A fascinating class about Kiddush Hachodesh, the system used for the ancient Jewish calendar.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/zalman-gordon/support

The real reason why Jewish People became homeless for almost 2,000 years.

Mormons are unique among all of Christendom for many reasons. One of those is our emphasis with making sacred covenants with God. On this episode I have Joshua Erickson back on the podcast to conclude our Jewish calendar series as we have a conversation about Shavuot also called the Feast of Pentecost.

As we celebrate the life of Christ, we can be assured that the Kingdom of Heaven is real. Jesus made this Kingdom known, as He proclaimed, "Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." Where in your life do you need the assurance of the Kingdom of Heaven?   ****   Welcome to Celebrating God's Grace, A Women World Leader's Podcast, I'm your host Robin Kirby-Gatto. Thank you for joining us today as we celebrate God's grace, in our lives, in our ministry, and around the world. I pray you have an amazing weekend, celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Today's message is titled: The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Jesus' ministry began with the message “Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 4:17) It wasn't happenstance that most of His parables and teachings were on the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus wanted God's sons and daughters to know their true home, and to be confident of God's plan for their lives on earth. In Matthew 11:10-13 Jesus emphasizes the power of this kingdom. 10 “This is the one of whom it is written, Behold, I send My messenger ahead of You, who shall make ready Your way before You. 11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize—a share in the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion]. 13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied up until John.” (Matthew 11:10-13 AMPC) Jesus distinguishes that something shifted with John the Baptist's appearance. It was since the days of John that the Kingdom of Heaven endured violent assault. Why is that? John the Baptist prepared the way of the Lord, proclaiming the message, “Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” in Matthew 3:2. To better understand this, I love to look at a scripture in the Old Testament. “The Israelites shall pitch their tents by their companies, every man by his own camp and every man by his own [tribal] standard.” (Numbers 1:52 AMPC) Israel had twelve tribes, whom Moses led through the wilderness. God gave him specific instructions that when the twelve tribes pitched up their tent, they were to place it by the tribal standard. A standard is a banner or flag. This can be compared to the Olympics where every athlete stands by their nation's flag. The root Hebrew word from which standard comes is dâgal pronounced daw-gal' and means “to flaunt, i.e. raise a flag, to be conspicuous, to set up with banners.” [i] I absolutely love the Paleo Hebrew script, which is the writing system found in the Canaanite language, otherwise known as the Old Hebrew. These letters of the Old Hebrew are symbols, that when put together create a word picture, and give such depths of appreciation to what is written in the Old Testament. The three Hebrew letters that compose standard, are Dalet, Gimel, and Lamed. Dalet is the ancient symbol of a door and means to enter and pathway. Gimel is the ancient symbol of a camel and in the positive means to lift up. Finally, Lamed is the ancient symbol of a cattle goad, which looks like a shepherd's staff with a prick in the curvature, and means tongue, control, and authority. Therefore, the word picture in the Old Hebrew for standard, is THE DOOR IS LIFTED UP INTO WHICH YOU ENTER AND BRINGS AUTHORITY. Just wow! Listen to that word picture again. The Door is lifted up, into which you enter, and brings authority. Is this not a beautiful picture of Christ on the Cross! In John 12:32 Jesus said that if He is lifted up, He will draw all men to Himself. Jesus also says in John 10:9 that He is the Door, and if anyone should enter, they would be saved and go in and out and find pasture. John the Baptist knew that Jesus was the Son of God, baptizing Him in the Jordan River to fulfill all righteousness, and saw the Holy Spirit come upon Christ like a dove. John's whole life was set aside to look for Jesus and prepare others for His coming with the message of repentance. Repent means to turn from your ways, having a change in heart and mind. John saw something others couldn't see. Because I'm a visual person, I learn best when I can see and picture something. As I read Numbers 1:52 about the tribes pitching a tent by their tribal standard, I couldn't help but think of John as “the standard.” Jesus said about John that the greatest born among women is John, but even the least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than John. The Lord showed me that John was the STANDARD, as Jesus proclaimed the greatest born among women. John proclaimed in a conspicuous manner about Christ Jesus being the Son of God! He was merely a conspicuous flag sounding the message of Christ's coming. What blessed me even more is that I saw Jesus Christ as the Tent pitched by the standard, THE DOOR TO HEAVEN, where all could enter the Kingdom of Heaven, and find pasture. The pasture represents a place for the soul to rest. This is grace. One of the things I love about Matthew 11:12, and the Kingdom of Heaven suffering violence, is the gift of grace we've been given to perceive heaven. You don't need special glasses to recognize the Kingdom of Heaven. God has fearfully and wonderfully made you, that on a special receptor in your body, the G Protein-Coupled Receptor, He placed the ability within your body to see, hear, taste and smell. What's even more phenomenal is that these senses inside of the body, from the neck down, regulate your organs. You apprehend this as “feelings,” where you feel God's presence. As we receive salvation in Christ Jesus, we have a special rest for our soul, which is known in Hebrews 4 as the Seventh Day Rest. God's rest produces confidence and assurance in your soul to boldly run to the throne of grace to obtain mercy for your need. This is the Kingdom of Heaven. God's grace giving us mercy, for us to know He is near. The Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and it is the violent that take it by force. This visual of the Greek word for violence will cause you to see this verse in a new light. The Greek word for violence is biázō pronounced bee-ad'-zo and means, “to force, TO CROWD ONESELF, to be seized, press, and suffer violence.” [ii] What I love about this particular Greek word is the root word from which it comes, which is bíos pronounced bee'-os meaning, “life, present state of existence, livelihood, good and living.” [iii] This is the Greek word from which we get the English word bio. When someone gives their bio, they're saying all the things about themselves that prove THEY EXIST! They identify who their family is, and what accomplishments they've made in life. Therefore, as we look at Matthew 11:12, where the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent seize it by force, what we see is that THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN CROWDS US! IT BRINGS US LIFE! Whose life? The Life of Christ, that He lived in His body! The very life we celebrate today that has given us grace, to walk in God's peace, no matter the circumstance! Close your eyes and imagine with me. You're walking barefoot on a gravel trail leading you through an orchard of trees with all kinds of fruit. The aroma and freshness of the sweet ripeness of the fruit draws you into the middle of the orchard. You're now still, feeling green grass under your feet, with a hint of dew. You inhale, taking in the moment. Suddenly, you feel a brush on your face, then on your arms and hands. You open your eyes and find every fruit tree in the orchard now surrounding you, crowding your space. This is what the Greek word for violence means, HEAVEN IS CROWDING YOU! This is the thing. When we're not in the rest of God, leaning entirely on Him, we get distracted to heaven's presence. Luke 17:20-21 tells us that heaven is planted in our hearts. The Word of Truth, Who is Jesus, brings the reality of the Kingdom of Heaven as we live on this earth. And as great as John was, because of Grace, he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is GREATER THAN JOHN. This is the power given to you and I. We can enter through the Door into a Kingdom that Lifts us up into an authority we've never known, no matter what! Bad days, crises, and catastrophic events don't affect the Kingdom you and I are from. It exists and is real. This kingdom allows us to find peace in each moment of our day. Over the past two weeks, I've gone through two major crises in my family. At times I thought I would lose it and was overwhelmed. But this is the beauty, I put my eyes on Christ Jesus and the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Heaven, and I found peace and rest for my soul. Amid these crises, I had my sixth month mammogram from a finding in September, which showed calcifications had returned inside of one of my breasts. I had an operation two and a half years ago for a breast lumpectomy, where a biopsy of calcifications at that time set my doctor on high alert and put me in the high percentile for breast cancer. Thank goodness they did the lumpectomy and after tests, found the cells were benign. Because of this I must go to a special clinic yearly, doing two visits a year, for a mammogram and ultrasound. However, when they find something, they then move you to two mammograms and ultrasounds a year. I was dealing with the two crises at the time of this mammogram and thought, “God, please bring me a God report.” The prior week's notification, reminding me of my appointment, immediately sent dread into my heart. My skin was super thin, so to speak, from the other crises. However, I took a deep breath and put my eyes on Christ and instead heard the Lord speak to my heart, “Robin, refuse to be afraid,” and OH MY I was lifted into grace. I had a boldness of faith, and I said to myself, “NO MATTER WHAT I REFUSE TO BE AFRAID!” Then came the day of the mammogram. They took me into the room to get my robe on and do my first round of pics. The radiologist technician then returned me to my room and told me to stay in my robe, in case the doctor wanted more. I sat there waiting about 10 minutes, and she walked back in and said, “She wants me to get more pictures.” My knees got jittery. I was doing the special mammography in the room in which I had a biopsy years before. I responded as she prepped me, “is this bad news?” She looked at me and assured me it was common. I went through the process telling myself to breathe. I sat back in the room, and she told me to keep my robe on, in case they wanted more pictures. I waited for what had to be another 20 minutes. Thoughts went through my mind that they might see something more with the calcifications, and I wanted to burst into tears. Then suddenly, a thought entered my mind, “what if they cannot find anything.” Heaven crowded me. I was standing in the orchard feeling the fruit trees press up against me. I then said, “NO MATTER WHAT I WILL NOT BE AFRAID!” I was in green pastures. I found rest for my soul. The nurse came in and told me to change, and that the doctor would meet with me. I got up to change, when she immediately came back and said, “don't change yet, the doctor wants to do an ultrasound.”  I took a few deep breaths. She brought me into the ultrasound room, where I waited for a while, wondering what she would say. Then after 20 or so minutes the doctor walked in and patted me on the arm and said, “When you come here it is always something.” I looked at her puzzled. She then said, “We cannot find the spots anymore, their gone. I don't know what happened.” OH, MY GOODNESS LADIES! I WANTED TO CRY FOR JOY! HEAVEN INVADED MY SPACE, I RECEIVED GRACE, BEING PAINTED IN THE GOODNESS OF GOD'S MERCY! The release date of this podcast is falling on the Jewish calendar of the 16th of Nisan, which is the day we celebrate the Resurrection of Christ. Passover begins the evening of the 14th of Nisan on the Jewish Calendar, which was this past Wednesday. What an amazing time to consider the grace of our God, which has been given through Christ Jesus. Where is it you need the power of the Kingdom of Heaven? Just breathe, stand still, and smell the fruits of a Kingdom that is near you, crowding you!   [i] Strong J. (1890) Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, Abingdon Press.

On this episode I have Joshua Erickson back to continue our series on the Jewish calendar and feast days. Again I encourage everyone who has not done so to go back and listen to the first five episodes of this series. Today Joshua and I sit down to have a conversation about Passover. We go through the story in exodus then we talk about how the celebration is kept today and finish up talking about what we as Mormons can take away from the events of Passover. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dave-kirkenbower/support

The events of Passover were set in motion way before Moses. In this episode Jeffrey D. and Ted discuss the timing of the Feast, how the children of Israel ended up in Egypt, and how the plan of salvation for the Jews and all people is right there in the story of Passover.  The Feast begins this year (2023) on the evening of April 5. Also listen to the upcoming episode on the Passover Seder.

Today I have Joshua Erickson back on the podcast to continue our series on the Jewish Calendar and Holidays. Now if you remember Joshua and I have had a few talks up to this point. If you haven't listened to any of our prior conversations I would strongly encourage you to go back and listen to those episodes first. They are Episode numbers 15, 27, 28, 30, and 40. The reason for this is that they all build on each other. On this episode we have a conversation about Purim. We talk about the biblical story behind the celebration, the deeper meanings of the story and how it shows us that even when we don't think God is around that He is always there, and finally how the holiday is kept today. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dave-kirkenbower/support

On this episode of the podcast we continue the series about the Jewish calendar and feast days. Now as always I strongly recommend that if you haven't listed to the previous episodes in this series you go back and do that first. The reason is that these celebrations build on top of each other.. Those would be episodes # 27,28, & 30. This time around Joshua Erickson and I break down Hanukkah. We dive into the history of the festival and how it is celebrated today. As we discuss these things there are fascinating ties to Joseph Smith as well as some pretty stark parallels for today concerning Mormonism and even fundamentalist prophecy. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dave-kirkenbower/support

The holiday of Sukkot is contains many layers, and contradictions.

Today is October 10, 2022. It is the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles. So on this episode Joshua Erickson and I are continuing our discussion on the Feast and Holy Days of the Jewish calendar. This is instalment number 3 in the series. Again I strongly recommend that if you haven't going back and listening to Episode # 15. That episode sets the table for this series. Then listen to episodes numbers 27 and 28. The reason for this is that as I have had these conversations you can see that the Lord instituted these Feast and Holy Days to build on top of one another. There is a certain heavenly momentum that I think the Lord is trying to convey through the Jewish calendar. On this episode Joshua and I cover what the Feast of Tabernacles is, what it is in memory of, how it was celebrated anciently, how it is celebrated today, and finally the lessons and principle we can take away from the Feast of Tabernacles. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dave-kirkenbower/support

On this episode of the Podcast I continue my conversation with Joshua Erickson for our series on the Feast & Holy days of the Jewish calendar. As Mormons one of our central tenants of faith is the idea of restoration. Now we know that the Feast and Holy days were instituted by God anciently and were observed by the Savior himself. This leads to the questions that should we as Mormons give greater attention to the Jewish calendar and can we glean something special from an understanding and even participation in these Holidays. Now I strongly encourage those who haven't listened to episodes #15 and #27 to stop here and go listen to those first. Episode #15 sets the table for this series and episode #27 is on Rosh HaShanah. Today me and Joshua's conversation turns the next major event on the Jewish calendar which is Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement. We talk about what the Yom Kippur is, what it points to and its significance, how it was observed anciently, and finally how it can be observed in our day and age as Mormons. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dave-kirkenbower/support

In this week's episode, we're bringing back some wisdom from last year's Elul episode and  reflecting on the meaning of this month in the Jewish calendar that leads up to Rosh HaShanah and the high holidays. This time of anticipation calls us to prepare ourselves spiritually for the new year. We talk about the symbolic meanings of the holiday and how the ritual of hearing the shofar can be a powerful call to being “awake.” And, we're excited to hear from you!

What do you know about Elul? What, if any, traditions and rituals do you have for the month of Elul? April and Tracie reflect on the Kabbalistic teaching about Elul being an acronym for “Ani l'dodi v'dodi li/I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine” and the idea of intimacy with the divine. What does intimacy with the divine mean for you? What does it look like? April notes that hearing the shofar is a type of pattern interruption that reverberates within us? What do you feel when you hear the sound of a shofar? What memories or thoughts arise in connection with it? Tracie connects the daily sound of the shofar to a wake up call, and a daily reminder for us to do the work of fighting oppression. What are the injustices that you have become more attuned and “awoken” to over the course of the last year? April describes “awake” and “matrix” versions of herself. Do you have a similar view of how you operate in society? What are the daily acts of injustice and oppression that serve as their own kind of shofar for you? Tracie also reflects on what the sound of the shofar means to her, connecting it to mechayeh HaMetim, and enlivening the dead. Having listened to their discussion, do you have your own thoughts on what the sound of the shofar symbolizes to you?
