Podcasts about Jews

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the American Marxism movement hates American institutions and is out to destroy America. And they have an ally: Islamism. Both ideas have been forced upon us by the Democratic Party. They seek to undermine our Constitution, our Judeo-Christian belief system, the nuclear family, our schools and universities. Despite their outward ideological differences, they share one goal: destroy the West. How? With immigration and open borders and using our constitutional protections against us. And there's a third problem: the Woke Reich neo-fascists, who are antisemitic and anti-Christian. The result is more young people who have been brainwashed to hate this country. We need to realize that we are under attack. Later, a recent 5-4 Supreme Court ruling that upheld states' post-election day ballot counting for federal offices undermines the Constitution.  This weakens fraud detection, as the president is right that mail-in voting should be limited to those who are disabled, sick, or out of town—not universal. In states like California, ballots are sent to outdated addresses, and since such states are Democratic strongholds, pressure is ineffective, yet these practices improperly affect federal elections. Also, experience shows the Iranian regime lies, cheats, adheres to no agreements, and seeks to destroy all individuals, groups, or nations not complying with its 7th-century political-religious ideology through catastrophic worldwide war involving slaughter, torture, and rape until total submission. Unlike faiths that reformed, Islamists have not. Meanwhile, Zohran Mamdani is focused on de-populating NYC of as many Jews as possible and turning into a Dearborn, Michigan or Paterson, NJ. He's making it unsafe and unlivable for Jews in the City. Finally, Director of the Ronald Reagan Institute Roger Zakheim calls in to discuss an Axios article that misleadingly headlined Republicans souring on Israel based on the Institute's survey. Zakheim clarified that Axios engaged in clickbait, as the survey and its own report actually showed the opposite: 75% of Republicans overall, and 80% of MAGA Republicans, believe U.S. security and prosperity are tied to Israel's security.

Yossi Farro has turned a mitzvah into a global mission. In this episode of Meaningful People, he shares how a childhood spent putting tefillin on strangers in New York grew into a journey that has taken him around the world, connecting with celebrities, billionaires, entrepreneurs, influencers, and everyday Jews. From chance encounters with actors to live streams and meetings with some of the biggest names in business, Yossi explains how persistence, authenticity, and a simple pair of tefillin opened doors he never imagined.    Along the way, Yossi discusses the Chabad philosophy behind mivtzoim, why he believes tefillin has the power to inspire lasting Jewish connection, and the remarkable stories that have kept him motivated through thousands of encounters. He also reflects on the Rebbe's tefillin campaign, outreach after October 7, lessons from some of the world's most successful people, and why his mission is only getting started.  Join Meaningful Minute Plus   This episode was made possible thanks to our sponsors:   ► PZ Deals   Download the app and never pay full price again!   https://app.pz.deals/install/mpp   _________________   ► Colel Chabad Pushka App   The easiest way to give Tzedaka   https://pushkapp.cc/meaningful   _________________   ► EL AL   From the Hebrew announcements to the Israeli atmosphere onboard, flying EL AL feels like Israel before you even land.

Savage argues that an organized Islamist influence campaign is gaining ground in the United States. He contends that some figures within the right-wing movement have adopted anti-Jewish rhetoric by using the term "Zionist" and are amplifying narratives favorable to Iran. He then exposes the biased and antisemitic three member UN-linked commission that has accused Israel of committing genocide. He warns Americans to be vigilant after the socialist sweep in New York City elections. He fears that Zohran Mamdani is the tip of the spear to the Muslim Brotherhood and the beginning of a multi-stage strategy for Islamist expansion in the West.

In today's special episode, I'm joined by Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith (R), who is also a Pentecostal pastor, to discuss the danger of Islam in America. He has recently jousted with other Indiana Republicans who believe Islam can be treated like any other religion. Beckwith explains why it is not a real religion and why its political and strategic aims need to be countered immediately. We also delve into a much deeper discussion about the state of Christianity in America and on the political Right, the growing Jew hatred and antipathy toward the Old Testament in some circles, and the need to move away from the weak Republicans of last generation, who had toxic empathy but at the same time teach the new generation traditional virtue.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Guest host Russell Dobular and online political commentator Blakeley discuss reactions to the New York City Democratic primary, arguing that many conservative commentators and pro-Israel figures are exaggerating fears about antisemitism and socialism following the victory of a candidate they refer to as "Mom Donnie." They mock claims that New York is collapsing, highlighting strong commercial real estate leasing data and dismissing warnings of a mass exodus, while criticizing what they see as coordinated messaging from political influencers and media figures.  The two argue that critics falsely conflate anti-genocide politics with antisemitism, with one sarcastically summarizing the narrative as: "One Jew beat another Jew in NYC, but because the winning Jew is against genocide, people are panicking." They conclude with Blakeley discussing the need for a more transactional relationship with politicians, emphasizing that voters should focus on policies and outcomes rather than developing emotional attachments to political figures, noting, "You're not dating these freaking people… you're using them to achieve a goal." Plus segments on the escalating feud between Candace Owens and Laura Loomer, AOC backing establishment politicians in the New York primaries and Ohio public schools telling kids to get married. Also featuring Misty Winston and Kyle Anzalone!

An elderly woman lies unconscious on a hot sidewalk after a terrible fall. Several people stop to help. One calls 911, another gently places a coat under her head. Others put towels under her arms, and still another holds an umbrella over her head until paramedics arrive. As the person who posted the video writes, it’s an especially heartwarming scene because those who stopped included a wide range of age and ethnicities—all working together to help someone in distress. When an expert in God’s law asked Jesus who his neighbor was (Luke 10:29)—that is, who he was obligated to show love to—Jesus responded with a story of a man badly beaten by robbers, lying near death by the side of the road (vv. 30–31). A Levite and then a priest approached, but both passed by on the other side. Finally, a Samaritan stopped to help. What made this so unusual was that Jews and Samaritans had a history of scorn for the other. Yet it was the Samaritan who stopped (v. 33). After telling this parable, Jesus asked which was a neighbor to the fallen man. The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him” (v. 37). Jesus told him—and us, “Go and do likewise.” May God help us see that everyone we meet is our neighbor, another human created by Him and deserving of our aid.

It is incumbent upon observant Jews to always appear well-kempt and dignified. Nowadays, this applies to all observant Jews. As representatives of the Torah, we all bear the obligation to look respectable in order to reflect positively on the Torah. An observant Jew must not walk about with stained clothing, scuffed shoes, or a foul odor. People who encounter a religious Jew who appears this way lose respect for the Torah, and reach the conclusion that the Torah does not encourage self-dignity. In fact, the Sages teach (Shabbat 114a) that if a Torah scholar has "Rabab" – dirt – on his garment, then he is deserving of death, because he misrepresents the Torah. I had the privilege of knowing Rav Chaim Kreiswirth (1918-2001), the Chief Rabbi of Antwerp who frequently visited Israel. He was a towering spiritual giant, who mastered the entire Talmud. I saw him once take out a pocket mirror and comb before getting out of a car, to groom himself. He explained that the windows were open during the trip, and his hair and beard became disheveled. He therefore made sure to groom himself so he looked presentable before getting out of the car. Another example that I personally witnessed was the time when I went with a group of students to the home of Rav Chaim Brim (1922-2002) in Jerusalem, for a Torah class, after which we wanted to take a group picture with him. He did not allow the picture to be taken until he first straightened up the room and made sure he looked presentable. He wanted to ensure that people who looked at this picture would not see him unkempt or his home untidy. Hacham Ovadia Yosef, in Yehaveh Da'at, addressed the question of whether or not it is acceptable for a man to use a mirror. The Gemara teaches that a man should not use a mirror, as this is something that women do, and is considered vanity for men. Nevertheless, Hacham Ovadia ruled that nowadays it is specifically a Misva for men to use a mirror to ensure that they look presentable and thereby make a Kiddush Hashem (glorification of G-d's Name). Rav Yissachar Frand (contemporary) shared that when he traveled with his Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Yaakov Ruderman (1900-1987), to fundraise, and they would pass through the train station, Rav Ruderman would have his shoes shined in order that he would look presentable when meeting with the donors. Just as an observant Jew must dress in a dignified manner, he must conduct himself in a dignified manner. This includes eating neatly and patiently. Needless to say, this applies to both men and women. Women must dress not only modestly, but also respectably so they appear dignified. Earlier, we noted the Gemara's teaching that a Torah scholar with a "Rabab" – stain – on his clothing is deserving of death. An alternate reading of this teaching has been suggested, based on the Gematria of the word "Rebab" (204), which is the same Gematria as the word "Sadik." The Gemara thus perhaps refers to a scholar who "wears" piety on his clothing, who shows himself to be more righteous than he really is. Just as it is wrong to appear unkempt and undignified, so it is wrong to appear greater and holier than one actually is. One who projects a false impression of piety is also deserving of death, as he deceives people in an effort to earn their respect and admiration. Finally, a Torah scholar should wear neither very expensive clothing, nor very cheap clothing. He must appear respectable, but should not appear as though he wastes large amounts of money on costly attire.

Chabad Chassidus is an all-embracing world outlook and way of life which sees the Jew's central purpose as a unifying link between the Creator and His world. Written by the Alter Rebbe, the founder of Chabad, Tanya is the central text of Chabad Chassidus. It shows the reader a path to realizing their purpose and developing a deeper relationship with G-d. Choose from one of the two formats available: through Lessons in Tanya - a profound and clear explanation of the Alter Rebbe's writings, or through an audio class.

If He did not rise, then as the apostle Paul noted, we Christians are the most pitiable creatures ever (1 Cor. 15:19). If He did rise from the dead, then He is the promised Messiah that the entire Old Testament was pointing toward. That would make the Jews the most to be pitied. This would mean that the ingenuity of a thousand rabbis can't put the Old Testament jig saw puzzle together . . .For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/  

This week's double Parsha is chock-full of fascinating narratives, story lines, and mitzvos. We begin with the great mystery of the red heifer. We then read about the passing of Miriam, sister of Moshe and Aaron, and its repercussions. There are wars against foes, water coming out of rocks, talking donkeys, and two plagues, including one from venomous serpents. It is a story rich with drama and intrigue, of great heroes and heinous villains.

The Gemara (Shabbat 114a) teaches that one of the qualities of a Talmid Hacham (Torah scholar) is that if he notices that one of his garments is inside-out, he immediately turns it around so the stitches will not be visible. It seems that long ago, the interior of garments looked very much like the exterior, except that the stitching was visible on the inside, and so it would be common to mistakenly wear a garment inside-out. A Torah scholar is obligated to ensure to wear his garments the right way, and not inside-out. The Tur writes that with respect to this Halacha, all observant Jews must consider themselves "Torah scholars." All those who observe the Torah effectively function as the "ambassadors" of Torah, since people who see us and watch how we conduct ourselves naturally interpret our behavior as reflective of the Torah's values. Therefore, all observant Jews must dress respectably, and this includes ensuring that clothing is not worn inside-out. However, if the concern was only about appearance, then this Halacha would not apply to undergarments, which are not seen. We would assume that one may wear an undershirt, for example, inside-out, since it is not visible. In truth, though, several sources teach that this Halacha is based also on Kabbalistic concepts, and it therefore applies to all garments. Even if, for example, nobody would notice if one's socks are worn inside-out, or if his Sisit are worn inside-out, nevertheless, they must not be worn this way. Beyond the need to appear presentable, clothes must be worn the right way because of Kabbalistic reasons, and so this applies to all garments. If, however, a garment is made from the outset to be reversible, and worn both ways, then one may wear it either way.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Yud Beis Tammuz – 99 years: What does this day teach us? What happened on this day and what lessons does it offer us today? Why does the celebration of the Frierdiker Rebbe's liberation extend for two days – 12-13 Tammuz? Why is this month named after a Babylonian idol? What is the spiritual energy of this month? Is there a connection between the events of this day in 5754 and back in the time of Joshua when the sun was stopped? Is there something special about today, June 21, being the longest day of the year? Why didn't Joshua simply pray that the enemy be defeated? What is the mission of Chassidim who are not on shlichus? Is the Rebbe perfect? Follow-up What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? Can we heal people today by using a similar treatment to gazing at a serpent of brass mounted on a pole, as Moses was commanded? Why was Moses striking the rock such a great sin? Why was he not given the opportunity to do teshuva? Why were others not given the opportunity to do teshuva just as the sons of Korach were? What was the sin of Baal Pe'or? What lessons does this despicable sin offer us today? Why is a Parsha named after the evil Balak? What parts of Balaam's blessings were about Moshiach? What can we learn from Balaam's closing plot against the Jews? How should we react to the President's latest deal with Iran? Can we parallel the back-and-forth attitude of Iran to what Pharaoh and the Egyptians did regarding freeing the Jews? Tammuz Gimmel Tammuz Chukas-Balak Iran How is today's unrest in the Middle East a continuation of the unresolved conflict between Ishmael and Isaac? And what can we do to achieve permanent peace? Is it a good idea to allow my son to travel with a group to visit the concentration camps in Poland and Ukraine?

For the Australian Jewish community, the date of December 14 carries as much gut-wrenching trauma as October 7 and September 11 does for Israelis and Americans, Daniel Hochberg, co-chair of Union for Progressive Judaism, told the Haaretz Podcast. On the six-month anniversary of the terrorist shooting attack on 1,000 Jews celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach that killed 15 members of the tight-knit community, Hochberg and Haaretz editor Noa Levin reviewed the aftermath of the second most deadly attack in Australian history and its ongoing effect on the country’s politics and daily life for Australian Jews. “We don't feel safe as we did before,” Hochberg said, describing an increased “closing of spaces” to Jews who once felt part of progressive circles. “It has affected our sense of self-worth, our belief in our contribution to Australia is in question, and we are struggling with that. Our walls are being built higher and higher, so there's this feeling that the Jewish community, by almost default, is being isolated from the rest of Australian society.” On the podcast, Hochberg and Levin discussed the controversial formation and the ongoing testimony of the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion, the national inquiry of the Bondi attacks which is focusing on growing antisemitic discourse in Australia, and the political impact of the attack inside and outside the Jewish community. The “totally unimaginable” violent attack and the Jewish community’s reaction, Levin noted, has sparked a conversation among young Jews regarding “who gets to speak for us at a national and international level, and what recommendations would all kinds of Jews like to see to ensure their safety in Australia,” while “touching on the intersection between criticism of Israel and antisemitism.” The Bondi attack, she said “has made the community incredibly sensitive to anything that looked, felt or smelt like something that could harm us, and that they have a right to do that, but I think it created something quite challenging in terms of discourse about Israel.” Read more: 'Reckoning Without Consequence Is Performance': Australian Jews Cautiously Welcome Antisemitism Inquiry Findings Australia's Historic National Inquiry Into Antisemitism, Explained How a Portrait of an Australian Jewish Leader Humanizes an Anguished Community The Australian Film About Jewish Fear and Unease Shot in Bondi Before the Massacre Despite a Moderate Downturn, Antisemitic Incidents in Australia Remained High for Second Year RunningSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A recent story has implied that a coffee shop in Brooklyn refused service to a Jewish man for no reason, sparking protests and claims of "that's how it began in Nazi Germany." The invocation and promotion of this caricature is proof that we are entering the final stage of a repeating cycle. The public is being force fed, for better or worse, antisemitic propaganda about Israelis and Jews while embracing true antisemitism in their demeaning of Arabs (and Islam). The flag of Islam has now been wrapped around the same people that destroyed Germany in the 1920s with drugs, porn, sexual depravity and genital mutilation. Every single thing decent Americans hate is being blamed on Muslims, from grooming children to socialism, despite these things being very "Jewish" in nature. For example, the New York City Mayor is supposed to be a radical Muslim who throws gays off of buildings and yet his team is comprised of Jews and rabbis; he further invested millions into transgender politics while hosting a pride parade. This subversion of the responsible parties can be found with the Roman Empire too, which is always blamed for the death of Jesus, attacks on Christians, and destruction of the Jewish temple. The truth is the Romans found no fault with Jesus, and allowed the Jews and Christians freedom until their violence and subversion became a threat to stability and order.  https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/hrbodies/hrcouncil/sessions-regular/session62/a-hrc-62-crp-2.pdf*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

“There has not been a bigger government scandal during my lifetime,” says Senator Ron Johnson, “and yet even now that we have documented proof of corruption, most of the legacy media refuses to report on it.” In the release of his new Senate report, Sen. Johnson says he found evidence that federal health officials knew about COVID-19 vaccine safety signals in 2021 but “purposely” hid them. Sen. Johnson, Chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, alleges that in March 2021, FDA officials were briefed that their VAERS analysis algorithm would mask vaccine adverse event signals. Twenty-six days later, an updated algorithm showed 25 safety signals, including sudden cardiac death, pulmonary infarction, and Bell's palsy. Johnson says officials ordered the analyst to “cease and desist” and told the public adverse events were “rare and mild.” Brianne Dressen, who recently met with Senator Johnson in DC, joins to discuss the severe symptoms she developed after being in one of the first US AstraZeneca trials in 2020. She is calling for a new investigation into the abandonment of the COVID-19 vaccine injured. Batya Ungar-Sargon, Newsweek opinion editor and host of “Batya!” on NewsNation, asks if going to war with Iran was worth it.

Brianne Dressen is Co-founder of React19.

Rest to Return is a podcast for a restless world. Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife is your host. This series is rooted in Shabbat, an ancient Jewish practice that teaches us how to belong to time. Here, rest is a sacred rhythm woven into who we are. We continue by gathering around a single question: How do we know when to work and when to rest? I learned about spiralinear time from Kohenet Sara Esther Richards who wrote her Masters Thesis, Spiralinear Time: Religious Calendar Formation, Momentum, and Change within a Dynamic Time Structure, on the topic. We learn about the shmitta in Exodus 23:10-11 Here is a photo of us at the beginning of our first shmitta year; this was taken in Kyoto, Japan in January 2009. The Jonathan Sacks quote, “Shabbat is the day we stand still and let all our blessings catch up with us.” comes from his book, Radical Then, Radical Now. The words to Lecha Dodi by Shlomo Alkabetz can be found here. “Shamor” (keep/guard) and “zachor” (remember) are in verse 2. The 39 melachot can be found in the Mishnah (Shabbat 7:2).

[00:30] Mamdani's Socialist Takeover (34 minutes) Democratic Socialist candidates endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani won their Democratic primaries. The central issues for the winners were love of socialism and hatred of Israel. [34:00] Exposing Fauci's Lies (22 minutes) On her last day in office, former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released classified proof of Dr. Anthony Fauci's COVID-19 lies. Fauci knew about the true origin of the virus, actively covered it up, and lied to Congress under oath. The mainstream media responded to Gabbard's revelations by accusing her of following a Hindu cult leader.

In every generation there are malevolent forces seeking to destroy the Jewish people. They have never been successful, nor will they ever be. The Almighty always protects our people and ensures our continuity. Most of the time we are completely unaware of the mortal dangers that the Almighty thwarted on our behalf. The canonical example of this phenomenon is the story of our Parsha , when the greatest sorcerer of all time was hired to curse the Jewish Nation. In this special edition of the Parsha podcast, we share three deep ideas on the very unusual story of Bilaam's unsuccessful attempts to curse the Jewish Nation.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

In this lesson from the Gate of Repentance (Shaar HaTeshuvah), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the 12th, 13th, and 14th components of authentic teshuvah: understanding the consequences of sin, treating even seemingly small transgressions seriously, and the essential role of confession (vidui). The author teaches that part of sincere repentance is recognizing that actions have consequences. Not because Hashem seeks to punish, but because every sin creates distance between a person and their Creator. Understanding the spiritual cost of our choices helps awaken a deeper commitment to growth and a greater appreciation for the relationship Hashem desires to have with each of us. A central theme of the episode is the danger of minimizing "small" sins. Rabbi Wolbe explains that we often convince ourselves that certain behaviors are insignificant, yet the Torah warns us not to measure mitzvos and prohibitions according to our own standards. First, every commandment is significant because it comes from Hashem. Second, small actions accumulate over time. Third, repeated sins become normalized until they no longer feel wrong. Finally, the Yetzer Hara often begins with tiny compromises that eventually lead to far more serious transgressions. What appears insignificant today can become spiritually destructive tomorrow. The lesson concludes with the power of vidui—verbal confession. Rabbi Wolbe explains that repentance is not complete until a person articulates their mistakes before Hashem and commits to change. Confession is not merely an admission of guilt; it is an act of spiritual purification. Using the Talmud's famous analogy, he teaches that confessing without abandoning the sin is like immersing in a mikvah while still holding a source of impurity. True teshuvah requires both honest acknowledgment of the past and a sincere commitment to a different future. _____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on October 27, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 24, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________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.

What are the strongest Old Testament prophecies that point to Jesus as the Messiah? My guest is Jeff Morgan, a former secular Jew who does street evangelism with Jewish people in Israel. He hears the objections every day, in Hebrew, from people who grew up reading these texts. Jeff and I walk through 10 prophecies and address the common Jewish objections to each passage and shows where rabbinic sources themselves (Rashi, the Talmud, Targum Jonathan) connect these texts to a messianic figure.

The "dark enlightenment" movement today, spearheaded by Curtis Yarvin, seeks to achieve something similar to what Technocracy Inc., and Elon Musk's maternal grandfather Joshua Haldeman, strived for nearly a hundred years ago. Yarvin wants to replace the current U.S. Government with a technocratic-monarchy ruled by a king, whereas Haldeman wanted to replace market-based economics  and political governance with a system where experts made decisions based on data, efficiency and technological feasibility. TI pushed to merge all of the Americas and Greenland into a massive union, which should resonate with the recent developments over Canada and Greenland. Both movements are absolutely alive and well within the Trump/Vance administration. While Trump pushes technocrats into positions of power and authority, Vance is positioned to take control during the next election cycle. In fact, Vance obtained his political philosophy from Yarvin and his education and income initially from Peter Thiel, a blood-transfusing so-called Christian obsessed with the anti-christ. According to Larry Ellison, much of the modern technocracy is being developed in Israel. At the recent JNS conference, Jews and Christians gathered to talk about endless wars for Israel, advanced weapons waiting to be deployed against critics, and what happens to people who resist -- they lose access to the world via a "mark of the beast." *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

- The episode opens with a warning that New York's Democratic races are no longer fringe contests, but a live test of how far socialist and openly anti-Israel politics can move into Congress. - Several New York candidates are framed as outright radicals, with the show stressing support for abolishing ICE, rejecting deportations, seizing the means of production, and pushing anti-police, anti-border politics into the mainstream. - Dan Goldman's race becomes a flashpoint for rising anti-Semitism, with the episode arguing that even a reliable liberal can become a target simply for being Jewish in today's Democratic coalition. - The show ties the far-left surge to a broader culture of scapegoating Israel and Jews, calling out candidates and activists who praise Hamas, smear Israel as genocidal, and turn anti-Jewish hostility into a political litmus test. - Chicago's Juneteenth weekend becomes the closing warning sign, with 40 people shot and 8 killed while city leadership responds by focusing on a “trans femicide” emergency instead of the gang violence tearing through the streets.

It's News Day Tuesday on The Majority Report On today's Program: It's Primary Day in Utah, Maryland, New York and runoffs in South Carolina. If you are available to phone bank for the DSA slate in New York today from 4pm EST until the polls close you can find the information here. Susan Collins says that she does not regret casting the deciding vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Collins went on to say that Kavanaugh was not the deciding vote in the 6-3 ruling to overturn Roe V. Wade. The problem with that is that the vote was not 6-3, it was 5-4 and Kavanaugh was in fact the deciding vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. Collins' opponent Graham Platner says that the Senator's comments are either a lie or ignorance - both of which are disqualifying. Rick Perlstein, historian and author, joins to discuss his piece published on his Substack on Alan Greenspan: "Speak Ill of the Dead - Early and Often, Please".

In this episode we are joined by Emmaia Gelman, author of The Anti-Defamation League and the Racial State, a critical history of the ADL as a Cold War neoconservative institution. Gelman excavates the Anti-Defamation League's origins as a white, settler colonial institution founded by German-Jewish elites—not to combat antisemitism broadly, but to manage class respectability and suppress Eastern European Jewish immigrant socialists whom they viewed as a racial and social threat.  Gelman looks back at how early Jewish settlers had built fortunes through participation in 19th-century US territorial expansion, Indigenous dispossession, and slavery's economic system, understanding themselves as white Europeans racially distinct from the "vermin" arriving from the Pale of Settlement. The ADL and its predecessor, the American Jewish Committee (founded 1906), operated as Progressive Era eugenicist charities designed to "correct and fix" rather than support self-determination, preemptively capturing Jewish political identity to prevent autonomous radical organizing. Gelman traces how the ADL evolved from an instrument of McCarthyite purges—coordinating mass firings of Jewish leftists in 1951, offering its services to McCarthy committee members, and abandoning Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to execution while denying antisemitism played any role in their prosecution (the judge who sentenced them sat on the ADL's Civil Rights Committee)—into a key architect of Cold War anti-communism and neoconservative "democracy promotion." The organization attacked Arab League representatives speaking about Zionist violence in Palestine as early as 1946, treating Palestinian and Arab organizing as "foreign insurgency" while framing Jewish fundraising for Israeli settlement as natural civic participation. After Israel's 1967 military victory, the ADL strategically re-racialized Jews as non-white within the framework of race liberalism, allowing it to cast Israeli militarism as defensive racial liberation and Arab calls for refugee return as antisemitic rather than anti-colonial. This racial pivot occurred precisely as European Jews had achieved economic whiteness through the GI Bill, suburbanization, and the collapse of university quotas—benefits systematically denied to Black populations through redlining. Emmaia Gelman is the author of The Anti-Defamation League and the Racial State, a critical history of the Anti-Defamation League as a Cold War neoconservative institution (UC Press, 2026) and co-editor of The Anti-Defamation League: A Critical Reader (Pluto Press, 2026). She co-hosts the podcast Unpacking Zionism. Emmaia is co-chair of the American Studies Association Caucus on Academic and Community Activism, and a longtime activist in New York City. She is the founding director of the Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism, which examines the political and ideological work of Zionist institutions in Palestine and transnational contexts. She researches the history of ideas about race, queerness, safety, and rights, and their production as levers in surveillance, "anti-terror", and war. Her teaching spans academic and community spaces. If you like what we do and want to support our ability to have more conversations like this. Please consider becoming a Patron.

Full Text of Readings Solemnity of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist Lectionary: 586, 587 The Saint of the day is Nativity of Saint John the Baptist Story of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist Jesus called John the greatest of all those who had preceded him: “I tell you, among those born of women, no one is greater than John….” But John would have agreed completely with what Jesus added: “[Y]et the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he” (Luke 7:28). John spent his time in the desert, an ascetic. He began to announce the coming of the Kingdom, and to call everyone to a fundamental reformation of life. His purpose was to prepare the way for Jesus. His baptism, he said, was for repentance. But one would come who would baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire. John was not worthy even to untie his sandals. His attitude toward Jesus was: “He must increase; I must decrease” (John 3:30). John was humbled to find among the crowd of sinners who came to be baptized the one whom he already knew to be the Messiah. “I need to be baptized by you” (Matthew 3:14b). But Jesus insisted, “Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness” (Matthew 3:15b). Jesus, true and humble human as well as eternal God, was eager to do what was required of any good Jew. Jesus thus publicly entered the community of those awaiting the Messiah. But making himself part of that community, he made it truly messianic. The greatness of John, his pivotal place in the history of salvation, is seen in the great emphasis Luke gives to the announcement of his birth and the event itself—both made prominently parallel to the same occurrences in the life of Jesus. John attracted countless people to the banks of the Jordan, and it occurred to some people that he might be the Messiah. But he constantly deferred to Jesus, even to sending away some of his followers to become the first disciples of Jesus. Perhaps John's idea of the coming of the Kingdom of God was not being perfectly fulfilled in the public ministry of Jesus. For whatever reason, when he was in prison he sent his disciples to ask Jesus if he was the Messiah. Jesus' answer showed that the Messiah was to be a figure like that of the Suffering Servant in Isaiah. John himself would share in the pattern of messianic suffering, losing his life to the revenge of Herodias. Reflection John challenges us Christians to the fundamental attitude of Christianity—total dependence on the Father, in Christ. Except for the Mother of God, no one had a higher function in the unfolding of salvation. Yet the least in the kingdom, Jesus said, is greater than he, for the pure gift that the Father gives. The attractiveness as well as the austerity of John, his fierce courage in denouncing evil—all stem from his fundamental and total placing of his life within the will of God. The Nativity of Saint John the Baptist shows us the way to purity and graceSaint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Rav Bibi bar Abaye rules that although a standard hole in the windpipe requires the size of an issar (a coin), its clawing measurement (of redness) is a minimal amount, because the predator's venom burns and consumes the tissue continuously. Regarding the scope of the inspection required due to concern for venom, Rav Nachman testifies in the name of Rav that one must inspect from the base of the brain to the thigh, and not only adjacent to the intestines (as some hold). In an interesting story, Rabbi Yochanan defends the supreme authority of Rav against the queries of Reish Lakish, and consequently, Reish Lakish praises a different tradition of Rav, according to which an animal whose organs (simanim) were dislocated and was subsequently slaughtered is kosher. It was established that new cases of treifot may not be added beyond those enumerated by the Sages, even if these injuries cause the death of the animal. The Mishna enumerates structural defects that leave the animal kosher, including a windpipe that was perforated less than the size of an Italian issar, a brain membrane that was not punctured, and a liver of which a remains. This list gives rise to a fundamental dispute between Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish regarding the scope of the lists in this chapter, which affects their approach to the ruling of Rav Matna, who rules that a femur bone that dislocated is a treifa. Rabbi Yochanan declares the animal kosher because the case was omitted from the exclusive list of treifot, while Reish Lakish rules it a treifa because it is absent from the exclusive list of kosher defects. For the Babylonians, they defined that the size of the isser is similar to a Kurdish dinar, and the Gemara brings a story following this involving Rabbi Yochanan who went to a moneychanger looking for this coin,and told the moneychanger that craftsmen engaged in their work are legally exempt from standing before Torah scholars. How does this differ from craftsmen who would stand up and greet those Jews who were bringing their first fruits to the Temple? Rav Nachman said that "up to an issar" it is not a treifa means up to but not including that size. Rava brings a series of difficulties against his view, but Rav Nachman answers them.

Two giants passed away in this week's Parsha: Moshe two elder siblings, his sister Miriam and his brother Aaron - two of the great leaders and benefactors of the nation - both die in Parshas Chukas. In this special Parsha podcast we share two profound insights relating to the death, mourning, and aftermath of these two deaths. We discuss the extraction of water from a rock and how it differs from the another instance where water was desired and a rock played a very different role. We conclude with a sharp analysis of the difference between the nation's mourning of Aaron and how the people mourned Moshe. All in all, I highly recommend that you listen to this podcast. It will bring you joy and maybe even some insight.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

"Even though we're so diverse, we're all the same. We're all longing for the same thing — to belong, have a purpose in life, to understand why we are here on this planet." — Sonia Daccarett ABOUT THIS EPISODE Sonia Daccarett is a writer and communications professional born in Colombia to a Christian Palestinian father and a Jewish mother. She holds an undergraduate degree in journalism from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a master's in international and public affairs from Columbia University. For more than two decades she worked on strategic communications for corporate and nonprofit clients. Her debut memoir, The Roots of the Guava Tree: Growing Up Jewish and Arab in Colombia, explores identity, belonging, and coming of age against the backdrop of 1980s Colombia. Mike and Sonia discuss how a casual memoir-writing class turned into a book, the challenge of writing childhood scenes in the voice of a child, navigating a multicultural identity in a homogenous society, and why she wanted to offer a first-person account of what ordinary Colombians endured during the country's violent 1980s. --- KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. A book that wasn't meant to be a book. Sonia enrolled in a memoir-writing class during a quieter chapter of her life, fell in love with the genre, and accumulated pages before realizing the recurring themes — identity, diaspora, family — could form a cohesive narrative. 2. Retraining the writing brain. After two decades of press releases and corporate communications, Sonia had to relearn scene, dialogue, and narrative writing — breaking free of the "five W's, tell it all on one page" mindset. 3. Writing in the child's voice was the breakthrough. The manuscript initially felt flat when told entirely from her mid-50s perspective. Switching to first person as a four-, six-, or fifteen-year-old brought the memories alive — though it meant extensive rewriting. 4. Rediscovering parents as complex people. One of the book's biggest gifts was moving beyond the unidimensional way children see adults and understanding her parents and grandparents as people navigating their own immigrant struggles. 5. A utopian experiment in identity. Her parents deliberately raised their children without religious labels or ethnic identifiers — a noble dream that left Sonia feeling identity-less in a society that expected you to know who you were. 6. A hidden diaspora. Most people don't know that a large Christian Arab population emigrated from the Ottoman Empire to Colombia in the 1910s, or that Jewish communities thrived in Latin America. Sonia wanted to broaden mainstream narratives about where Jews and Arabs live. 7. Colombia's 1980s through ordinary eyes. Beyond the Netflix portrayals of Pablo Escobar, the book offers a first-person account of what civil war between government, guerrillas, and cartels felt like for everyday families — the kidnappings, the fear, the impossible choices. 8. The power of a writing partner. After many cycles of throwing the manuscript into a metaphorical drawer, Sonia credits her Polish writing partner and her husband for pushing her to finish — proof that external accountability matters for memoirists.

Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger react to social media comments by Laura Loomer predicting a future terrorist attack in the United States, arguing that her warnings represent a transparent attempt to shape public opinion against a potential U.S.-Iran peace agreement. With so many pro-Israel voices like Loomer opposing diplomatic efforts with Iran, he points out that fear of terrorism is often used to justify continued conflict and support for Zionist political goals.  Citing commentary from Glenn Greenwald, the segment questions the timing of Loomer's remarks and suggests they could make people suspicious that any future attacks are actually false flags intended to renew war with Iran. Jimmy ultimately argues that aggressive policies by the Israeli government and its supporters create more hostility and insecurity for Jewish people rather than increasing their safety, saying, "If I was a Jew, I would be furious at people like Laura Loomer." Plus segments on the effort to ruin a student's life who rejected a internship saying he didn't want to "work for a Jew," and Glenn Greenwald disparaging podcaster Dave Rubin's intelligence and insisting that the "antisemitism slur" has lost its impact. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae. And a hilarious phone call from JD Vance!

The three wilderness miracles correspond to three modes of spiritual influence—internalized growth, transcendent empowerment, and accessible transmission—and teach that every Jew carries a spark of Moshe, empowering us to take responsibility for the spiritual wellbeing of others. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Chukas in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2.

Who was Naamah?In Genesis, she appears only briefly as the daughter of Lamech and the sister of Tubal-Cain. Yet in later Jewish traditions, Midrashic writings, Kabbalistic texts, and the Zohar, Naamah transforms into something far more mysterious—a seductress of angels, companion of Lilith, mother of demons, and a figure connected to the Watchers of Genesis 6. In this episode of Free The Rabbits, Joel Thomas follows the trail from the biblical lineage of Cain into the strange world of extra-biblical traditions surrounding Naamah. Along the way we examine ancient Jewish sources, the Book of Enoch, the Zohar, demonological traditions, Ashmedai (Asmodeus), the Four Demon Mothers, and the recurring theme of fallen angels corrupting humanity. We'll also explore competing traditions that portray Naamah either as a righteous woman connected to Noah's family or as a supernatural entity linked to demonic offspring, dream seduction, idol worship, and the Watchers. How did a nearly forgotten figure from Genesis become known as the "Mother of Demons"?Merchandise: https://freetherabbits.myshopify.comBuy Me A Coffee: DonateFollow: Website | Instagram | X | FacebookWatch: YouTube | RumbleMusic: YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music Films: https://merkelfilms.com Email: freetherabbitspodcast@gmail.comDistributed by: merkel.mediaIntro Music:Joel Thomas – Free The RabbitsYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicOutro Music:Joel Thomas – GreyYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicTopics Discussed:Naamah, Cain, Lamech, Tubal-Cain, Genesis 4, Descendants of Cain, Book of Enoch, Watchers, Grigori, Genesis 6, Sons of God, Daughters of Men, Fallen Angels, Pirkei de-Rabbi Eliezer, Genesis Rabbah, Legends of the Jews, Louis Ginzberg, Zohar, Zohar Hadash, Kabbalah, Moses de León, Lilith, Samael, Ashmedai, Asmodeus, Four Demon Mothers, Demonology, Jewish Mysticism, Midrash, Idol Worship, Dream Seduction Traditions, Noah's Wife Traditions, Nammu, Divine Feminine Traditions, Ancient Near Eastern Religion, Biblical Cosmology, Free The Rabbits.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, there are ongoing Hezbollah attacks—firing missiles and drones daily into Israel under a supposed ceasefire, directed by Iran, forcing depopulation of northern Israel. Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy never truly part of Lebanon that has murdered hundreds of Americans, assassinated Lebanon's president, and weakened the country, remains its most powerful force. The proposed MOU demanding Israel ceases military operations permanently, including in Lebanon, before a final agreement risk enabling continued Iranian aggression while setting Israel up for blame if it defends itself. Also, the $300 billion fund for Iran, which the U.S. would not fund but others would, was agreed upon after Iranian demands for reparations. Granting them access to this money will enable rearmament and reinforcement, as has occurred before. This Iranian regime cannot be bought off, given their belief that Allah wants non-compliers slaughtered. Iran already admits that they will help Hezbollah once they get the money. Hezbollah launched an attack tonight in which 4 Israeli soldiers were essentially incinerated. No MOU or final agreement will change who these terrorists are.  Finally, Batya Ungar-Sargon calls in to discuss her new book - The Jews and the Left. Learn more about your ad choices.
