What happens when a political philosopher stops asking, "What would the perfect society look like?" and starts asking, "How did we get here?" Dr Raef Zreik takes a close look at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through the lens of political theory—and argues that one of the most important tasks of philosophy is self-clarification: figuring out exactly what we mean when we disagree, what assumptions we're making, and where our arguments actually lead. As a Palestinian citizen of Israel, Zreik describes himself as a kind of translator, trying to articulate Palestinian demands in language Jewish Israelis can understand—and Jewish fears in ways Palestinians can engage with. The conversation ranges from the meaning of citizenship and Palestinian political agency to organized crime in Palestinian society inside Israel, the relationship between history and political rights, and the devastating events in Gaza. It's a conversation about what happens when philosophy leaves the classroom and confronts a conflict in which both sides have their own history, fears, and claims to justice. The episode is sponsored by the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair in Jewish History at UCLA and co-hosted by Prof David N. Myers.

Best-selling author and three-time National Jewish Book Award winner Dara Horn joins Karol Markowicz to discuss her new book, The Final Solution to the Jewish Question: A Love Story for the Living, and what thousands of years of Jewish history can teach us about survival, courage and refusing to bow to tyranny. Horn explains why she sees Jewish civilization as a tradition built around questioning, dissent and individual agency—and why the Jewish people don't fit neatly into modern categories of religion, ethnicity or identity. She also discusses the rise of antisemitism since October 7, her experience serving on Harvard's antisemitism advisory group and the challenges Jewish students face on elite college campuses. Karol and Dara also examine whether institutions like Harvard can change, why Horn believes some traditional approaches to combating antisemitism have fallen short, and her efforts to educate students about Jewish history through the Tell Institute. Plus, Horn shares an optimistic prediction about the future of artificial intelligence and truth online—and explains why having the courage to speak up, even when doing so carries a social cost, can ultimately strengthen your integrity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today I have the honor and pleasure of speaking with Benjamin Moser about his new book, Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History. A book of immense historical and geographic reach, Anti-Zionism conveys its arguments through the lives of twelve Jewish anti-Zionists. From the 19th century Polish-Jewish rabbi Aaron Samuel Tamares to the contemporary photographer and activist Nan Goldin, we learn how Jews have fought against the reduction of the traditional, expansive notion of Jewishness open to and in service to the world, to a form of narrow ethno-nationalism, closed off to all how do not subscribe to its genocidal settler colonial logic.  We learn how many of these figures foretold precisely the perpetual cycles of violence Zionism has unleashed. One of the reasons Moser wrote this book is contained in this statement. I offer it as a contribution to the movement by so many noble people who are working to construct an alternative vision of Jewish life, one that is free from racism, nationalism, and militarism. It is an attempt to say, especially to younger people, that we are not the first, and that we do not need to start afresh.Benjamin Moser is the author of Why This World: A Biography of Clarice Lispector, a finalist for the National Book Critics' Circle Award and a New York Times Notable Book of 2009.

מראי מקומות מעמדם ההלכתי של יהודי אתיופיה — חזקת יהדות, ערעור וייחוס1. תלמוד בבלי, קידושין עג ע״ב2. רמב״ם, הלכות ממרים פרק ג הלכה ג במה דברים אמורים באיש שכפר בתורה שבעל פה במחשבתו ובדברים שנראו לו, והלך אחר דעתו הקלה ואחר שרירות לבו, וכופר בתורה שבעל פה תחילה כצדוק ובייתוס וכן כל התועים אחריו. אבל בני התועים האלה ובני בניהם שהדיחו אותם אבותם, ונולדו בין הקראים וגדלו אותם על דעתם, הרי הוא כתינוק שנשבה ביניהם וגדלוהו, ואינו זריז לאחוז בדרכי המצות, שהרי הוא כאנוס. ואף על פי ששמע אחר כך שהוא יהודי וראה היהודים ודתם, הרי הוא כאנוס, שהרי גדלוהו על טעותם. כך אלו שאמרנו האוחזים בדרכי אבותם הקראים שטעו; לפיכך ראוי להחזירן בתשובה ולמשכם בדברי שלום עד שיחזרו לאיתן התורה.3. אלדד הדני ויש לנו קבלה איש מפי איש שאנחנו בני דן היינו בתחילה בארץ ישראל יושבי אהלים, ולא היה בכל שבטי ישראל בעלי מלחמה גבורי חיל כמונו... וכשעמד עליהם ירבעם בן נבט שהחטיא את ישראל ועשה שני עגלי זהב... אמרו לבני דן: קומו והלחמו עם בני יהודה. אמרו לו: בחיי ראש בן אבינו אין אנו עושין מלחמה עם אחינו ולא נשפוך דמם. מיד נטלו בני דן חרבות ורמחים וקשתות ונתנו עצמם למות לילך מארץ ישראל... לסוף נתנו עצה לילך למצרים... כדי לילך לעבור לנהר פישון לארץ כוש.4. שו״ת רדב״ז, חלק ז סימן ה שאלת ממני אודיעך דעתי במי שקנה עבד חבשי מאותם היהודים הדרים בארץ כוש, איך יתנהג עמו... תשובה: ... זה שקנה העבד החבשי, כיון שנתברר לו שהוא יהודי, אין זה אלא פדיון שבויים, לא קנין עבדים, והמצוה היתה מוטלת על כל ישראל לפדותו כדי שלא יטמע בין העכו״ם. וכ״ש הוא השתא. ואף על גב דאיכא ספק אחרינא, שהרי כל אלו החבשים הדרים בארץ כוש הם הם מתנהגים כדת הקראין שהם צדוק וביתוס, ואין אנו מצווים לא לפדותם ולא להחיותם — מכל מקום מסתברא לי דהני מילי אלו שהם דרים בתוך הרבנים ורואים דברי חכמים ומלעיבים ומלעיגים עליהם... אבל אלו הבאים מארץ כוש הם משבט דן בלי ספק, ומפני שלא היו ביניהם חכמים בעלי קבלה תפסו להם פשטי הכתובים; אבל אם היו מלמדים אותם לא היו פוקרים בדברי רבותינו ז״ל, והוי כתינוק שנשבה לבין העכו״ם... ואפילו אם תמצא לומר שהדבר ספק, מצוה לפדותם. אבל לענין יוחסין אני חושש שמא קידושיהן קידושין וגיטם אינו כתיקון חז״ל, שהרי אינם יודעים כלל בטיב גיטין וקידושין.5. שו״ת רדב״ז, חלק ד סימן ריט; ועי׳ חלק ז סימן ט עוד יש טעם כללי לכלל הקראין, שהרי ישראל הם וקידושיהן קידושין ואין גיטן כתקנת חז״ל, וכולם פסולי עדות הם מדאורייתא... ומכל מקום מודה אני שאם היו מסכימים כולם לבא לדת חברות ולקבל עליהם קבלת רבותינו ז״ל להיות כמונו, הייתי מתירם לבא בקהל עם הסכמת החכמים, והטעם כי כל קידושיהם בעדים מהם שהם פסולי עדות, וכמו שכונסה כך פוטרה, ואין לחוש לדור הראשון שהיו קידושיהם בעדים כשרים.6. שו״ת ציץ אליעזר, חלק יב סימן סו למדנו מדברי הרדב״ז כמה הלכתא גבירתא בקשר לאלו הפלשים הגרים בארץ כוש: א) את זהותם הוא קובע כיהודים משבט דן. ב) הנהגתם הוא קובע כקראים... ג) הגם שנותן להם ליהנות מן הספק... אבל לענין יוחסין, הוא קובע שיש לחשוש שמא קידושיהן קידושין וגיטם אינו כתיקון חז״ל, בהיות שאינם יודעין כלל בטיב גיטין וקידושין... ובקריאה בספר ״שבילי עולם״... יוצאים בהרושם כי עדיין לא ברור כלל אם אמנם מוצאם מהיהודים לפי דין תורה, וכי על כל פנים מעורב בתוכם הרבה ממוצא לא יהודי... כל כמה שיתברר אצלנו ביותר שבכלל לא מבני ישראל המה, תפתח לפנינו הדרך ביותר שנוכל לקבלם על ידי גירות כדת וכדין.7. שו״ת אגרות משה, יורה דעה חלק ד סימן מא הנה כפי בקשתך, באתי בזה לאשר מה שכתבת בשמי לפני כמה שנים אודות ״הפעלאשעס״, שידוע מה שכתוב בשו״ת רדב״ז (חלק שביעי סימן ט), שמשמע שמחזיקם כיהודים. אבל לדינא קשה לסמוך על זה, שלא ברור אם הרדב״ז ידע היטב המציאות אודותם, וגם לא ברור אם עד זמננו לא נשתנה מצבם. אבל לדינא אינם באיסור ממזרות וכעין שהרדב״ז מזכיר שם, שהרי יש בהם כמה וכמה ספיקות.ולגבי יהדותם, נחשב לנו בספק, ויש להצריכם גירות אמיתי קודם שנתירם לבוא בקהל. אבל גם קודם גירותם יש מצוה להצילם משמד ומסכנה כדין כל ישראל, שספק נפשות להקל... ואם נתגיירו כדין... נחשבם ככל יהודי, ויש לעוזרם ולתומכם בכל צרכי חייהם בין בגשמיות ובין ברוחניות... ופשוט שיש לקרבם... ואין לדינא חילוק במה שהם שחורים.8. שו״ת יביע אומר, חלק ח אבן העזר סימן יא — השגה על הציץ אליעזר ומה שכתב עוד בציץ אליעזר להסתמך על חוקרים שונים שלא ברור כלל שהפלשים הם יהודים לפי דין תורה, ושעל כל פנים מעורבים בהם גרים... תמיהני עליו שבא לדחות עדות גאוני עולם מפני חוקרים אשר דבריהם מהבל ימעטו. והרי הלכה רווחת בידינו בקידושין שאין ערעור בפחות משנים. ואם כן בנידון דידן, שלא היתה כאן עדות ברורה ואי אפשר שתהיה עדות כזאת, לאחר שהרדב״ז והמהריק״ש קבעו במפורש שהם משבט דן בלי ספק — מי הוא זה ואי זה הוא שיוכל לצאת נגד עדה שלמה לפוסלם ולהטיל בהם מום בקדשים, שהרי גדולה חזקה.9. שו״ת יביע אומר, חלק ח אבן העזר סימן יא — השגה על האגרות משה גם הלום שמעתי שהגאון רבי משה פיינשטיין שליט״א כתב... שאף שהרדב״ז כתב שאין ספק שהפלשים יהודים משבט דן, לדינא קשה לסמוך על זה, כי לא ברור אם הרדב״ז ידע היטב את המציאות אודותם, וגם לא ברור אם עד זמנינו לא נשתנה מצבם... ומה מאד יש לתמוה על דברים אלו, מאחר שידוע לכל גדולתו של הרדב״ז ונחשב לפוסק גדול גם בדורו, דור דעה של מרן הבית יוסף... וגם לאחר דורו של הרדב״ז מוקמינן להו אחזקתייהו, שגדולה חזקה... כשם שנוהגים כן לגבי שאר קהלות שבאו מחוץ לארץ... שמחזיקים אותם כיהודים לכל דבר, ורק בשעת נישואיהם חוקרים ודורשים כמדת האפשר.10. שו״ת יביע אומר, חלק ח אבן העזר סימן יא — מסקנת ההלכה והנה לאחר חקירה ודרישה מפי זקני העדה וכהניה, מתברר שאין לעדה האתיופית קידושין כלל בנתינה ואמירה כפי שחייבה התורה... במקום הטקס של הנישואין החתן נמצא בין האנשים והכלה בין הנשים, ולא קרב זה אל זה, אך אביו של החתן מכריז בפני הנוכחים ומודיע לאבי הכלה על כריתת ברית הנישואין בין החתן והכלה, ואינו נותן שום דבר, לא הוא ולא החתן, והכהן של העדה אומר פסוקי ברכה באמירה בלבד, ותו לא... נמצא שאין עושים מעשה קידושין באמירה ובנתינה כדת של תורה... ומעתה אין אנו צריכים לדון במה שנסתפק הרדב״ז בקידושי הפלשים הנעשים בעדיהם, אם העדים כשרים או פסולים, דמעיקרא דדינא פירכא שאין כאן קידושין כל עיקר, וממילא אין כל חשש בגירושיהם, מאחר שאינם נשואים על פי הדין...בהא סליקנא ובהא נחיתנא דליכא למיחש לפיסולי חיתון בעדת האתיופים, ומותרים לבוא בקהל ישראל ללא שום גיור אפילו לחומרא. והשי״ת יצילנו משגיאות ומתורתו יראנו נפלאות ויאיר עינינו במאור תוה״ק אמן.

What do Denali, Lake Calhoun, military bases and Israel have in common?A LinkedIn post about the renaming of American landmarks sparked an unexpected exchange between Andrew Parker and a longtime liberal friend — and ultimately a much bigger conversation about history, indigenous identity and political consistency.In Episode 504 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew examines the controversy surrounding the renaming of historic landmarks, geographic locations and military installations under both Republican and Democratic administrations. From Mount McKinley becoming Denali to Minnesota's Lake Calhoun becoming Bde Maka Ska, he considers why names change, whose history society chooses to recognize and why those decisions can become so politically charged.But Andrew takes the discussion one step further.If recognizing indigenous peoples and their historic connections to ancestral lands matters, he asks, why does that principle seemingly disappear in much of the political debate surrounding Jews and Israel?Andrew argues that the Jewish people's historical and archaeological connection to the land of Israel stretches back thousands of years and challenges those who recognize indigenous claims elsewhere while rejecting Jewish indigeneity in Israel, Judea and Samaria.It's an episode about more than names. It's about history, political hypocrisy, competing narratives and whether the principles we defend are being applied consistently.And, appropriately enough, it all begins with an old-fashioned Boston pencil sharpener and a reminder that sometimes it pays to get back to the fundamentals.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.  Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Subscribe to our email list at www.theandrewparkershow.comCopyright © 2026 The Andrew Parker Show - All Rights Reserved.

In this week's episode, we take a closer look at the issue of completeness of a sugya. Are there places in Tanach that broader knowledge of Shas will help us understand the stories better?  Similarly, we examine the issue of are there places in Torah which we don't have enough information and understanding to pasken? How thoroughly are the laws of war discussed?

In this week's episode, we take a deeper look at how to understand the sugya of learning Tanach. For example, how should Rashi in Shir HaShirim be classified? Similarly, how difficult is it to properly understand the development of the harder Sefarim in Tanach, like Yeshaya and Yirmiyahu? Similarly, we start looking at the issue of completeness of a sugya? How significant is it to have a full grasp of a sugya? Are there places where we should suspect the sugya is incomplete?  This week's podcast is dedicated by Mr Zvi Goelman לעילוי נשמת אביו חנוך בן זאב צבי You can now help Rabbi Wittenstien  create new and original content via our non profit  'The Jewish History and Tanach Foundation'.  Your support and partnership is greatly appreciated.

As the Chair of Jewish History at the UCLA Department of History, and for the 2026 - 27 academic year, on sabbatical at the Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Professor David Myers walks through paths of hope and hate in his work. In this episode we begin the conversation by dissecting the phenomenon of antisemitism now and from ancient times. We end by David describing his UCLA Institute of Kindness and Compassion, pushing “the better angels” in humanity. In between, he does not mince words about the current dangers in American society with the rise of Islamophobia, anti-immigrant, anti-Asian, racism as well as antisemitism, as a foaming caldron spilling into all parts of USA life. Nevertheless, David Myers, steeped in the study of many dark times, commits to being an optimist, cheering us all on to keep hope for better times.

Three of the oldest myths about Jews — relating to money, blood and the way they look — were forged in medieval Christian Europe, mostly in places where there were almost no Jews to observe. Miri Rubin, professor of medieval and early modern history at Queen Mary University of London, tells Jonathan how each one of those myths was built — and explains how that medieval way of seeing Jews often remains the lens through which Israel, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, is seen. They also discuss the reckoning with Christendom's past that followed the Holocaust - and how it has seemingly come to a halt in our own time.  

BEST OF: It goes without saying that War is Peace, especially when the President of Peace continually threatens war or supports the same indirectly: from Gaza to Venezuela and now Nigeria. The President posted this threat to Nigeria over the Halloween weekend: “If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,' to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!” Notice that he is not talking about protecting American citizens, but a random diverse group of Christians. In response, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth responded: “Yes sir… The killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria — and anywhere — must end immediately. The Department of War is preparing for action. Either the Nigerian Government protects Christians, or we will kill the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.”https://edition.cnn.com/2025/11/01/politics/trump-pentagon-nigeria-actionAside from this grandiose posturing on social media the entire production is grotesquely hypocritical for several reasons. Just a few weeks ago, a gunman in north-west Nigeria stormed a Mosque and shot 17 worshipers. Muazu, Katsina state's commissioner for internal security, said the attack occurred during morning prayers and that the gunmen shot "sporadically". Muazu said the local government "reaffirms its unwavering support for community-based security initiatives.”https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crkz8345jl0o.ampA 2017 story from Amnesty International recounted how “The Nigerian authorities must ensure justice, truth and reparation over the military's unlawful killing of more than 350 Shi'a Muslims in the northern city of Zaria in December 2015… Between 12 and 14 December 2015, Nigerian security forces killed hundreds of civilians, some of them supporters of the IMN – including men, women and children – and arrested more than 200 following a Shi'a Muslim protest.”https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/press-release/2017/12/nigeria-families-of-hundreds-of-shia-muslims-killed-in-zaria-still-await-justice/In other words, Muslims are being killed too. Let's take an even deeper look at Nigeria.According to a 2024 report from “The Observatory for Religious Freedom in Africa,” there have been 11,000 incidents of extreme violence from October 2019 through September of 2023. The violence left 55,910 people dead in 9,970 deadly attacks — as well as 21,621 people abducted in 2,705 attacks. The total number includes civilian deaths, terror group deaths, and Nigerian Armed Forces deaths. Of the total deaths, 30,880 were civilians. Of the civilians, at least 16,769 Christians were killed, 6,235 Muslims were killed and 154 adherents of traditional African religions were killed. The religions of 7,722 victims are unknown.The report says further: “The ratio of Christians to Muslims killed rises significantly when the religious composition of the states is taken into consideration. Looking at the overall numbers, the ratio of Christians to Muslims killed was 2.7:1; the ratio of Christians to Muslims abducted was 1.4:1. However, when taking into account the relative sizes of the Christian and Muslim populations within the different states, the ratio of Christians to Muslims killed increases to 6.5:1, and the ratio of Christians to Muslims abducted to 5.1:1.”“Fulani Ethnic Militia are targeting Christian populations, while Muslims also suffer severely at their hands,” the Rev. Gideon Para-Mallam, another analyst for The Observatory of Religious Freedom in Africa, said in a statement.https://ewtn.co.uk/article-56000-killed-in-nigerias-ethnic-and-religious-violence-christians-disproportionately-affected/https://orfa.africa/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/26082024-ORFA-4-YEARS-REPORT.pdfSure, Christians are being targeted, but so are Muslims. But in both cases, religion is not the driving factor behind the attacks and killings in Nigeria. According to the French Institute for Research in Africa, Nigeria:“The notion that religious violence in Nigeria is always characterized by conflicts between religions (Muslims versus Christians) is too simplistic. This study shows that between June 2006 and May 2014 the frequency of violent death incidents involving Islamic groups against Islamic groups is 60, a figure higher than 57, which is the frequency of violent death incidents involving Islamic groups against Christian groups or churches within the same period. A second major point in this paper is that violence involving religious groups is not always caused by religious issues. This explains why the frequency of violent death incidents involving Islamic groups against Christian groups or churches due to non-religious issues is as high as 42 between June 2006 and May 2014. Thirdly, it remains inconclusive whether or not more Muslims than Christians (or vice versa) are killed because of violence in general in Nigeria. Finally, the Western media frames violence in Nigeria as being mainly inter-religious, while lethal incidents involving Islamic groups against Islamic groups are largely under-reported.”https://books.openedition.org/ifra/1935?lang=enSaying that only Christians are being targeted is ignorant and or disingenuous and dangerous. It's like Democrats saying that a black man being arrested for robbing a store is only being arrested because of the color of his skin. Maybe he's been arrested because he committed a crime. Saying that Christians are being targeted because of their religion neglects to mention the context that thousands of others are also being killed, and that the violence is primarily a byproduct of a broken system and war. A US State Department report from 2023, “Report on International Religious Freedom: Nigeria” noted “the killings were not related to religion but were the activities of ‘uninformed people'.” The same report also found and stated explicitly:“According to government security services, NGOs, media, academic, and other observers, the level of violence driven by rising criminality again continued to worsen during the year. Because issues of religion, ethnicity, land and resource competition, and criminality are often closely linked, it was difficult to categorize many incidents as being solely, or even primarily, based on religious identity.”https://www.state.gov/reports/2023-report-on-international-religious-freedom/nigeria/Now let's take a deeper look at Israel's actions.Just as many Christians are killed in Nigeria over farmland, Israeli settler have been slaughtering Palestinian farmers, with no mention of their religion made in the news, for over half a century. A recent AP article confirmed with video evidence that Israeli terrorists beat farmers during the recent olive harvest in the West Bank. https://apnews.com/article/israel-settlers-west-bank-attack-annexation-1e9cbd6af6ea502fbfca5d9ffe949b0bFather Bashar Fawadleh, parish priest of the Church of Christ the Redeemer in Taybeh, told ACI MENA: “The town, which the Gospel of John (11:54) refers to as ‘Ephraim' — the place Jesus withdrew to before his passion — is no longer safe for its people today… We do not live in peace but in daily fear and siege.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/amp/news/265035/priest-warns-christian-town-of-taybe-in-holy-land-no-longer-safe-amid-settler-attacksIn July 2025 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country "deeply regrets that a stray ammunition" hit Gaza's only Catholic Church. A few weeks before Israeli forces assaulted Christians in Jerusalem on holy Saturday at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy8ge7vllw9o.amphttps://www.newarab.com/news/israeli-forces-assault-christians-jerusalem-holy-saturdayIn 2024, Israel bombed a Catholic Church in Lebanon, Saint George's, destroying the offices of the parish and the residence of the local priest. They even slaughtered the rescue team.https://zenit.org/2024/10/11/israel-bombs-catholic-church-in-lebanon-and-attacks-un-blue-helmets/#google_vignetteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.Thank you for supporting independent, unbiased inquiry into the mysteries of our world.

Bring the breadth of Jewish history and civilization into your classroom with ready-to-use teaching modules curated by experts. The Posen Library is an educational resource grounded in primary sources and made broadly accessible through the creation and curation of engaging contextual material. Its goal is to highlight the varieties of Jewish culture and civilization across time and space for English-speaking audiences and to be the first stop for those, in university settings and beyond, who are interested in teaching about the significant breadth of Jewish experiences. Originally conceived as a 10-volume print anthology, the Posen Library's free digital platform makes the published content globally accessible. Content from print volumes is added to the site as the volumes are published by Yale University Press. Nine out of the ten volumes have been published to date. The Jewish Studies Curriculum Initiative comprises teaching modules centered around core teaching topics. Each module consists of an overview and curricular material that can be used in four class meetings, focusing on 20–25 primary sources (texts, images, and other media) with interpretive content and supplementary resources for both students and instructors.
