Podcast appearances and mentions of jonathan neumann

In this episode of the Founders Coffee Club, our host Grace Harrod was lucky enough to speak with Sonal Bagga, Founder of Namma, and Jonathan Neumann, Founder of Climataa to discuss the topic of community. They discussed the meaning of community, the impact it has had on the growth of their businesses and how they've adapted to the hybrid world we live in today. 

Mark is delighted to welcome Jewish public intellectual, attorney and author, Jonathan Neumann, to the podcast today. A graduate of Cambridge University and the London School of Economics, Jonathan has been a fellow at Commentary magazine and has served as assistant editor at Jewish Ideas Daily. He is also the author of To Heal the World? How the Jewish Left Corrupts Judaism and Endangers Israel, and he discusses this book along with his selected passage of Numbers 14:22 with Mark here today. Jonathan begins the conversation with his summary of the passage, its meaning for him, and his perspective on the ten tests mentioned within it. He and Mark also discuss the most important event from the passage, the consequences for slandering the land of Israel, women as the great Zionists, and the choice between serving Pharaoh or serving God. Jonathan also offers a glimpse into his new book and its exploration of the concept of ‘tikkun olam’, and he draws the conversation to a close with the lessons he has learned about mankind which hold particular relevance for the world today. This is a discussion which touches upon the very nature of the Torah and Judaism. Episode Highlights: Jonathan’s summary of the passage and what it means to him His perspective on the ten tests The most important event Slandering the land of Israel and the punishment for it Women as the great Zionists The choice between serving Pharaoh or serving God Jonathan’s new book and its exploration of ‘tikkun olam’ The lessons about mankind that Jonathan has learned Finding the truth in what others are saying Quotes: “Clearly, at a basic level, the test of the spies is somehow the culmination.” “The entire point of this whole exercise, from Exodus on, was to create a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation in the Promised Land. And God said, ‘Now, go do it’, and they totally blow it.” “If you don’t have the courage and the strength to follow God’s directive…how are you going to do in the Promised Land? Not very well, so therefore God says, ‘It’s the next generation’.” “If Moses had sent women, there would have been a different result…the great Zionists are usually the women.” “Judaism makes no sense without Israel.” “I’m going to make my relationship with the next generation.” “You have a choice basically, you can be servants to Pharaoh and to the hubris of man, and a life with no meaning, or you can, in the Jewish world view, or the biblical world view, you can serve God instead and have a life with meaning, and that service…has to take place in the land of Israel. That is the whole point.” “There is no basis for that contention that this understanding of tikkun olam as social justice has no basis in traditional Judaism.” “Tikkun olam doesn’t appear a single time in the Bible, which is extraordinary.” “Theologically, ultimately in the world view of Judaism, Judaism is meant to be done in the land of Israel.” “I think it’s important that we all try to get out of our rigidity a bit and try to learn what there is to learn from the ‘others’.” Numbers 14:22 none of the men who have seen My Presence and the signs that I have performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, and who have tried Me these many times and have disobeyed Me, https://www.sefaria.org/Numbers.14.22?lang=bi&with=all&lang2=en Links: The Rabbi’s Husband homepage: http://therabbishusband.com/ Mark’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/markgerson?lang=en

President Donald Trump has moved the United States Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem; he has recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights; members of his own family are Jewish and he has forcefully spoken out against anti-Semitic comments by some elected Democrats. So of course, the American Jewish community has embraced him... Not quite. Regardless of whether or not this administration has worked on behalf of traditional Jewish interests, many Jews feel strongly that its actions are antithetical to Jewish values. And what are the values of many American Jews? Any answer to that question will inevitably put tikkun olam—the Hebrew term for “repairing the world”—close to the top of the list. Last year, Jonathan Neumann wrote To Heal the World?, which attempted to deconstruct what tikkun olam means in practice, and debunk the lazy but all-too-common perception that Jewish values and progressive politics are one and the same. (You can listen to Neumann discuss his book here.) In this podcast, Neumann joins Tikvah’s Jonathan Silver for a discussion about conservatism, liberalism, and Jewish politics. He looks at the dangerous rise of Jeremy Corbyn in the United Kingdom, explains the causes of Israel’s shift to the Right, and systematically exposes the why American Jews’ traditional progressivism is bad for Jewish religion, Jewish peoplehood, and the Jewish state. Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim and performed by the ARC Ensemble. This podcast was recorded in front of a live audience at the Tikvah Center in New York City.

Jonathan Neumann has written perhaps the seminal book on how modern Jewry has supplanted its traditional values and principles with Leftism, based on a perverse, sophistic reading of the concept of tikkun olam, "healing the world," that demands devotion to social justice as the highest good and organizing principle of the Jewish religion. By way of background, Neumann is a graduate of Cambridge University and the London School of Economics. He has written for various American, British, and Israeli publications, was the Tikvah Fellow at Commentary magazine, and has served as assistant editor at Jewish Ideas Daily I had Neumann on the podcast to discuss the triumph of tikkun olam-based Leftism as central to modern non-Orthodox Judaism, why Jewish social justice renders Jews qua Jews meaningless, the systematic debunking of this ideology, the ramifications for Israel and U.S. politics and much more. What We Discussed Defining tikkun olam, and its link to social justice, leftism and Kantian ethics How tikkun olam became the predominant ethos of non-Orthodox Jewry in the U.S. in a mere 40 year period -- and its radical roots The inextricable link between tikkun olam theology and the evolution of the Reform Jewish movement and its relation to the Social Gospel The perversion of Jewish values and principles by those who have supplanted the religion with Leftism -- based in a textually unsupported, fabricated concept of tikkun olam that Neumann systematically debunks Why Neumann argues that "Jewish social justice effectively has no need for Jews qua Jews" The correlation between tikkun olam ideology and anti-Zionism, in contrast to American Jewish leftism's historical affinity towards Israel Why and how Israel in U.S. politics has become effectively a one-party, Republican, issue -- and the conflicting trends of the growing Orthodox Jewish community and the declining non-Orthodox Jewish community Why Jews have historically gravitated toward the political Left Further Reading Show Notes & Transcript Thanks for Listening!

This week, we look at the intellectual foundations of Jewish social justice. Where did Tikkun Olam come from and how did this obscure Kabbalistic precept take over American Judaism? This week’s guest, Jonathan Neumann, is the author of To Heal the World?: How the Jewish Left Corrupts Judaism and Endangers Israel. He joins Jonathan Silver for a discussion about the history, interpretative strategy, political judgements, and religious implications of a religious tradition coopted by progressive politics. Kikar is brought to you by the Jewish Leadership Conference (JLC). To learn more about the JLC, visit www.jewishleadershipconference.org.
