The story of Sfratto. How a Jewish pastry shaped like an eviction rod became Tuscany's most poetic symbol of resilience and honeyed hope.In the ancient hilltop town of Pitigliano, where steep tuff stone cliffs overlook a green Tuscan valley, a quiet revolution began in the kitchens of Jewish families who had lived there for centuries. They called their town Little Jerusalem, because it looked like a fortified biblical city and was home to a vibrant community that had found refuge there since the 1500s, after fleeing papal expulsions from Rome, Siena, and other places. Tailors, astronomers, musicians, and merchants lived alongside their Christian neighbors in harmony, even after the Medici rulers forced the Jews into a ghetto in the early 1600s under Grand Duke Cosimo II. Officials went door-to-door, knocking with long wooden sticks to drive families from their homes into the narrow streets between Via Zuccarelli and the cliffs. The Italian word for this forced removal was sfratto, meaning eviction, and the memory of those heavy sticks stayed with the community. Still, the Jewish community found a way to turn hardship into something sweet. About a hundred years after the ghetto was created, Pitigliano's bakers responded in the best way they could: by making a long, baton-shaped pastry with a golden crust and a filling of honey and walnuts, scented with orange zest and spices. They named it Sfratto dei Goym, or the Eviction of the Gentiles, and shaped it to look like the sticks that once threatened them. For Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, this treat became a symbol of turning hard times into hope. The sticky filling promised a sweet year ahead, and the sturdy shape was meant to keep away future evictions. Soon, Christians in the town enjoyed the pastry too, serving it at weddings to wish for peace in marriage. Today, with only a few Jewish families left in Pitigliano, Sfratto is still made year-round in local shops, protected as a Slow Food Presidium, and served to visitors with Vin Santo. It reminds everyone that resilience can be as sweet as honey.Read Full ContentMake RecipeMore Podcasts

In the fifth message of our series called Feast, Pastor Mel explains the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah), a biblical holy day outlined in Leviticus 23:23-25 and Numbers 29:1-6, emphasizing its significance as a time of solemn rest, remembrance, and spiritual renewal, marked by the sounding of the shofar (ram's horn). He highlights its role as Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, initiating the 10 Days of Awe for introspection and repentance, and explores its multifaceted biblical symbolism—calling Israel to renewal, obedience, gathering, war, submission, worship, and repentance, as seen in scriptures like Exodus 19:16-20, Numbers 10:1-4, Joel 2:1, and others. Mel connects the feast to New Testament eschatology, particularly in 1 Corinthians 15:50-55 and 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18, where the trumpet blast signifies the transformation and gathering of believers at Christ's return, portraying Yom Teruah as both a historical observance and a prophetic foreshadowing of God's ultimate redemption and judgment.

In this episode of Counsel to Counsel, I reflect on some of the themes of the Jewish New Year and the importance of self reflection (and the fact that you get to do it twice a year if you happen to be Jewish!)

Peacocks want to be admired.Parrots repeat only what they have heard.Each of us has a little bit of Peacock in us, and perhaps a little Parrot, too.(I admit it about me. You should admit it about you.)Long ago I saw a movie in which an old Greek man says to a much younger man from England,“A wise old Turk once told me…”The young Englishman interrupts him and says,“What! A wise old Turk? I thought the Greeks and Turks hated each other.”The old Greek sighs, then says,“When I was young, I believed that there were only two kinds of people; Greeks who were good, and Turks who were bad. Then one day I met a good Turk. So I decided there were only two kinds of people; good people and bad people.”The Greek then looks into the eyes of the Englishman and says,“Now I believe there are just people.”On September 18th, I transcribed a single paragraph of an essay about the death of Charlie Kirk and posted it in my random quotes database:“After every mass shooting, after every fresh example of political violence, after every round of one side recriminating the other side for not holding up their end of the social contract, we need to hear what is right, what is true, what is good. That need is why we commit to memory lines of poetry, passages of literature, and—for religious believers—particular verses. Because when crisis arrives and the world presses in on us, we must work to remember what we're about and what we hold to. Sometimes those things hold us more than we hold them, but only when we know them in our bones. So we keep telling ourselves, and each other, what is true and good.”“We should be telling each other this week to weep with those who weep.”– Nick Catoggio, Sept 18, 2025I have captured 7,761 quotes over the past 25 years. More than half of those were transcribed from novels, movies, television shows, emails and texts. About 10 percent of them are things I have written or said or thought or prayed; things that I wanted to archive somewhere lest I forget them. The rest of them are comical quips, well-worded witticisms, and profound thoughts uttered by friends and acquaintances that I quickly scribbled down.The Random Quotes database is off-site storage of ideas that I can access from anywhere in the world.You can access it, too. A new random quote will appear each time you refresh the page at MondayMorningMemo.com.I am writing this to you on September 22, 2025. The newest quote in the database is a text that was sent by Jeffrey Eisenberg to Tom Grimes and me just a few minutes ago. It says,“It's my custom on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, to reach out and ask forgiveness from my friends. The holiday is a time for reflection, fresh starts, and making peace. By asking forgiveness, I'm acknowledging that I might have hurt someone—whether knowingly or not—and I don't want to carry that into the new year.”“So if I've said or done anything that hurt or upset you, I sincerely ask your forgiveness.”– Jeffrey EisenbergI responded,“And we thank you for forgiving us, too. Especially Tom.” – RHWJeffrey sent a laugh emoji. Tom will laugh when he sees what I wrote.In truth, I have long admired Jeffrey's tradition of calling his friends each year or sending us a text. It is a marvelous reminder that mutual forgiveness is essential to keeping relationships alive and healthy.Can you imagine what it would do for our country right now?Roy H.

What if connection really is the antidote to a world that feels divided — for us and for the next generation?In today's episode, I'm inviting you into a real and unfiltered conversation (recorded right from my car) about what it means to choose connection in a world that seems designed to pull us apart. From family gatherings over the Jewish New Year, to my own shifts with technology, to a story from my travels in France — this episode is all about the simple, everyday ways we can reclaim presence and pass it forward to the kids and teens in our lives.Here's what I share with you:Why reflection doesn't have to be judgmental, and how I set intentions for what I want more of.A powerful reel from Jonathan Haidt that reframed the way I see kids and devices.My personal journey of breaking free from letting my phone hijack my mornings.The choice we all have between looking for darkness or looking for light.How attempting to speak French opened unexpected doors of connection while traveling.Why modeling connection matters so much for the next generation — and how we can do it daily.And of course, I'll talk about The Connection Book, my newest release, which is designed to spark real, soul-filling conversations between kids and the grown-ups who love them. Because connection isn't just for us — it's the gift we hand down to the next gen.

This week, Scott sat down with Senior Editors Kate Klonick and Eric Columbus to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including: “An Un-Airing of Grievances.” Since the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, some supporters of his—including several figures within the Trump administration—have actively sought to have individuals who have said critical or purportedly insensitive things about Kirk removed from their jobs or otherwise punished. This arguably came to a head after Jimmy Kimmel Live! was pulled from the air following statements by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr suggesting networks might face additional regulatory scrutiny for not addressing alleged misinformation about Kirk's killer he purportedly put forward. And while Kimmel is now back on the air, several major local affiliates are refusing to air his show. How do these efforts comport with the First Amendment? And what do they mean for freedom of speech regardless?“You Can't Spell Appeasement Without App.” After months of negotiations—during which it has held off on enforcing a statutorily mandated ban—the Trump administration has announced that it has reached a deal with China regarding the disposition of the social media platform TikTok and its operation in the United States. But the public details of the deal have been few and far between, and much more remains to be worked out. How close to a deal are the parties in actuality? And does it address the national security concerns motivating Congress's ban in the first place?“Playing with White House Money.” The Trump administration has been rocked by two major corruption-related stories in the past week. First, the Justice Department is reported to have closed an investigation into White House immigration czar Tom Homan, who reportedly accepted $50,000 from undercover FBI agents prior to joining the administration on the understanding that he would help the donors gain access to the incoming Trump administration. And second, new details suggest that the recent deal to permit chip sales to the UAE were tied up in a variety of major cryptocurrency deals that enriched both the Trump Organization and others in the Trump administration—only the latest in a long history of suspect cryptocurrency transactions by Trump-related businesses. How big a problem are these transactions? And what do they tell us about the state of corruption on the second Trump administration?In object lessons, Eric marked the Jewish New Year with a novel recommendation: “To Rise Again at a Decent Hour,” by Joshua Ferris, a midlife-crisis tale woven through Judaism, baseball, and dentistry—two subjects close to his heart, and one that isn't. Scott, meanwhile, is back on the D.C. concert circuit and wants you to join him at Union Stage on October 14 to see Katie Pruitt, whose rock-infused Americana sound he thinks deserves a bigger audience. Kate rounded things out with a little blue hippo—specifically the souvenir version of the famous Egyptian figurine better known as “William,” a reminder of a past mother-daughter trip to Paris that involved butchering French while scouring the Louvre.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Jewish New Year The Jay Shapiro Show 25AUG2025 - PODCAST

In this powerful episode, Mike and Laureen break down a heated debate where Ben Shapiro confronts Mohammad Hijab and Piers Morgan on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Citing the reality of hostages in Gaza, Hamas' stranglehold on the region and repeated Palestinian rejections of statehood, Shapiro defends Israel's right to exist and dismantles the narrative blaming Israel for the suffering in Gaza. The hosts emphasize the urgent need to speak truthfully about what's happening on the ground — because no one else will do it for the Jewish community. They share an impassioned clip of Rabbi Shmuley Boteach addressing a Muslim audience at Oxford Union, offering a bold and respectful defense of Israel. Mike and Laureen also raise concerns about rising antisemitism and threats to Jewish students on college campuses and they urge listeners to amplify the truth with facts — and not stay silent. They close the episode with wishes for a happy and sweet Jewish New Year. Thank you for listening, sharing and subscribing to the Third Opinion Podcast!

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #269 Title: The Feast of Trumpets   Web Description: The Feast of Trumpets was a holy convocation, a day of celebration and rest, when all of Israel came up to Jerusalem to meet with God in anticipation that He was going to do something. This is now called Rosh Hashanah, and it is celebrated as the Jewish New Year's Day. This appointed time has yet to be fulfilled in Christ, leaving the world to wonder what it will mean when the divine trumpet blows.   Show Notes: What God is doing in most of the feasts is clear. For example, Passover commemorates the blood of the lamb on the doorposts in Egypt that saved the Hebrew people from the death angel. What God is doing in the Feast of Trumpets is less clear. It is a holy convocation. It is a Sabbath rest. It is a day when trumpets are blown. But why?   The Feast of Trumpets is a day of celebration—the Hebrew word is zikkaron—which means a “memorial” as well as a “remembrance” or “reminder.” Each year this celebration memorializes God coming to earth on Mount Sinai where He announced His presence with the blast of a trumpet. We also remember God's promise that He will once again return to the earth with the sound of a trumpet.   Today we look forward to that trumpet which has not yet sounded, but no one knows the day or the hour. So our response is to be prepared. The trumpet blast alerts us to the promise of Messiah's return. May this prophetic cry be always on our lips: “Come, Yeshua. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on this earth as it is in heaven.”   Key Verses:   •       Leviticus 23:23–25. “You shall have a rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.” •       Leviticus 23:24. “A holy convocation … a reminder by blowing of trumpets.” •       Numbers 29:1. “It will be a day to you for blowing trumpets.” •       Exodus 19:19. “When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him with thunder.” •       1 Thessalonians 4:16. “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God.” •       Matthew 24:29-42. “And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet.” •       Revelation 22:20. “Yes, I come quickly!”   Quotes:   •       “So when we look at most of the appointed times or the feasts, the fasts, the celebrations that God appointed, it's very clear what it is that Israel was celebrating. Not so with the Feast of Trumpets. •       “That's what a trumpet blast is for: to get your attention.” •       “Now to me those are two very distinct things, and I think in the Feast of Trumpets both are taking place. We are to have a memorial and a reminder. A memorial is a celebration of something that took place historically. You build a monument; you memorialize an event in history. A reminder to me is more of something you are looking forward to. I have to remind myself of my to-do list, something I am supposed to do. So both of these really take place during Trumpets.”   Takeaways:   1.    We anticipate the Feast of Trumpets because its fulfillment in Christ has not yet transpired. 2.    The Feast of Trumpets is to get our attention and keep us alert. 3.    Our response is to always be on the alert. Watch! 4.    We should cry out, “Come, Lord Jesus!”

Welcome to The Times of Israel's newest podcast series, Friday Focus. Each Friday, join host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan and diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said on Wednesday this week that ongoing negotiations with Israel to reach a security pact could lead to results “in the coming days.” However, later on Wednesday, an Israeli foreign ministry official told AFP that Syria will seal several security and military agreements with Israel by the end of the year. Despite the discrepancy in timing, it is clear that both countries are interested and invested in completing a security pact in the near future. On this week's Friday Focus, Berman reviews other previous pacts with Syria -- and attempts -- throughout Israel's history. We learn how the civil war in Syria and the fall of the Assad regime have recalibrated how Israel operates inside its neighbor to the north. And we hear about the conflicting Israeli feelings in losing a strong leader who kept the border relatively quiet. Finally, Berman discusses what Israel may demand from Syria -- where it's willing to withdraw and where it decidedly will not. Friday Focus can be found on all podcast platforms. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves. IMAGE: Lazar Berman (courtesy) / Syria's President Ahmad Al-Sharaa in Damascus, September 12, 2025.

Send us a textThe Power and Process of Forgiveness: In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah & Eda, we explore forgiveness, emphasizing the importance of letting go of past resentments to lead a fulfilling life. The discussion covers various methods of achieving forgiveness, including writing unsent letters and understanding that forgiveness is a deeply personal process not necessarily linked to others' actions. The episode touches on poignant topics like self-forgiveness, collective trauma, and the transformative effect of forgiveness, offering listeners insightful perspectives as we approach the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah.EPISODE SPONSORSKEREN HASHANAEven if we resolve to give charity every day, it's easy to miss a day, to forget, or to get distracted.Imagine the opportunity to partner daily with the Lubavitcher Rebbe in giving charity. 72 years ago, the Rebbe, launched an initiative to ensure that every person has the merit of daily tzedaka-giving. The Rebbe established a special fund that would guarantee not a day goes by without contributing to charity, it is called Keren Hashana.There are many great organizations to give charity to daily…the Rebbe stated that those who wish to rely on him for their daily giving can donate to this fund. The first daily giving fund. The Idea: You donate in amounts which reflect the number of days in the coming year–this year 354–and Keren Hashana disburses the charity on your behalf -- twice every day! Once before Shachris and once before Mincha. This guarantees that you will give Tzedaka every day of the Year. It's not important how much you give, the idea is to give Tzedaka every day.In the past year alone, millions of dollars were distributed towards these social services. How is the money distributed? Where does the money go? The funds are donated through Machne Israel Chabad HQ in support of those less fortunate, single-parent households, educational subsidies for Torah education, emergency assistance, Hachnosas Kallah to holiday grants, and a host of other initiatives made possible through Chabad's global network. This past year, a significant amount of money was directed in support of our brothers and sisters in the holy land of Israel.Join with thousands from around the world and become a Keren Hashana partner.

As people usher in a New Year on January 1 with parties and celebrations, how many are thinking about repentance? It's probably not very many.But when Jewish New Year is welcomed on Rosh Hashanah, the main focus is on repentance, or teshuvah, which means to “return” to God. The sound of the shofar—the biblical trumpet made from a ram's horn—calls us to reflect on the past twelve months, to fix anything in our lives that hasn't been helpful, and to return to God—who is waiting for us with open arms.In this special Rosh Hashanah episode, Yael Eckstein takes a biblical look at repentance, its significance for all of us as people of faith, and how returning to God will nourish our souls and transform us into the people we are meant to be. Listen Now!And listen to more of Yael's Bible teachings on her daily podcast, The Chosen People.

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the origins and significance of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, noting it commemorates the sixth day of creation when Adam and Eve were formed, making it a two-day holiday worldwide. He describes it as a day of divine judgment for all humanity, drawing from the Mishnah in Tractate Rosh Hashanah, which outlines four annual judgment periods: Pesach for grains, Shavuot for fruits, Rosh Hashanah for human deeds (determining life or death), and Sukkot for water. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes its dual nature as both solemn judgment and joyful celebration, where God desires to bestow goodness, urging listeners to prepare by realigning with divine will and crowning God as king.Rabbi Wolbe delves into the phrase "Kivnei Maron" from Psalms, interpreting it through Talmudic lenses: judging speech for truthfulness, individual talents and potential (illustrated by the Netziv's story), and one's influence on others. He stresses personal accountability for fulfilling God-given abilities, avoiding self-limitation, and positively impacting the community to merit favorable judgment. Practical advice includes believing in oneself and children, volunteering to become indispensable, and genuinely desiring spiritual growth, as all blessings for the year are decreed on Rosh Hashanah, linking to the subsequent days of repentance and Sukkot.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on September 7, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 9, 2025_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Rosh Hashanah begins at Sundown on September 22 this year. Traditionally the Feast  is called the Jewish New Year, though in the BIble the feast is Yom Teruah, the Day of the Blowing of the Shofar, (the feast of Trumpets.) 

WOW!!!

Every year, Jewish people begin a special spiritual journey that's been taken by God's children for millennia.On this podcast, Yael Eckstein shares how this can be a journey for us all—Christians and Jews alike. Preparing for the High Holy Days is a time when we can connect with God and with ourselves.As this holy season approaches, Yael will look at: how the sound of the shofar awakens the soul; how Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, teaches us about repentance; how Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, teaches us about forgiveness; how Sukkot, the biblical Festival of Tabernacles, brings unity; and how Simchat Torah brings God and His word into the new year.But first, Yael begins our journey by looking at the three spiritual paths—repentance, prayer, and charity—that begin the High Holy Days journey. Listen now!And listen to more of Yael's Bible teachings on her daily podcast, The Chosen People.

God has already promoted you — now it's time to take your mountain of influence.

You've probably heard lots of one-month promises. One month to lose weight. One month to learn a language. One month to straighten up your house or straighten up your finances or straighten up your life!But did you know that The Chosen People have clung to a very special one-month promise for thousands of years?During the Hebrew month of Elul, which we're in right now, there's an ancient biblical Jewish practice—one that Jesus likely participated in. During this month, the Jewish people prepare themselves spiritually for the High Holy Days, which begin with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and conclude on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. For generations of Jewish people, this special month has long laid the groundwork for real and lasting change.And today, Yael looks to the Bible to explain how this month can connect us to God, nourish our souls, and make spiritual changes that last, setting us up for a successful year to come and a blessed life ahead!And listen to more of Yael's Bible teachings on her daily podcast, The Chosen People.

The Gospel of John Week 7 Scripture: John 4:31-5:29. Our study this week begins with a look at people beginning to realize that the Jewish Messiah has come, but He has come to be the Savior of all - not just the Jewish people, but ALL people! Jesus has been in Samaria and now returns to Cana where a high official in the government seeks Jesus out to heal his son who is dying.  Jesus heals the man's son and the official and his whole family came to faith in Jesus. 
Pastor talks about the feasts mentioned in the Gospel of John and how each finds its fulfillment in Jesus.  The feast mentioned in John 5:1-3 doesn't specifically mention which feast event is going on at this particular time, but Pastor speculates that it could be the Feast of Trumpets - Rosh Hashanah - the Jewish New Year - a time when the Jewish people are focused on this feast's call to repentance.   As we continue we see Jesus is at the Pool of Bethesda that had 5 colonnades.  Pastor talks about the discovery of this pool in 1890 and shares some photos of his from a visit there in recent years. He also shares additional discoveries and info that are quite interesting regarding deeper insights into the use of this pool and by whom. As Jesus approached the pool, hundreds of people may well have been at the pool.  Jesus says to an invalid of 38 years “Do you want to get well?”  There were many there but Jesus chooses to speak to just one person. Jesus, on this Sabbath Day, tells the man to get up and walk and the man walks away carrying his mat. The religious leaders had added many additional specific regulations to God's Sabbath Day - rest day. They had added 39 additional man made rules and the 39th rule was that carrying a piece of property from 1 location to another location was not allowed and what this man just did in carrying his mat broke their Sabbath regulations.  Jesus had deliberately provoked the religious establishment's petty laws saying in effect “How dare you substitute the goodness of God with your own petty regulations and rules.” And the religious leaders become incensed when they hear it was Jesus that healed him and so now they are after Jesus and they begin to persecute Him and desire to kill Him. Not only had Jesus broken their religious man-made rules by doing the work of healing this man on a Sabbath, but also because Jesus called God His own Father making Himself equal with God.  Jesus claimed deity - Jesus is the Living God come to earth!! Yet they desired to reject this truth!

Many people have come to faith after reading only this book of the Bible.  Scholarly and archeological discoveries in recent decades give us new insight on details in the Gospel of John. We can now understand it as the most Jewish rather than the most “Gentile/Greek” of the Gospels, and when we do that we see many things that we missed before. Our 2 year study of the gospels is great for large group, small group or home group study and can be started at any time!
