Pax Judaica Unleashed: False Flags, Holy Wars, and the End-Times Blueprint for Global Domination   Today, we're diving deep—real deep—into a rabbit hole that's got tentacles wrapping around the globe. We're talking Pax Judaica, the shadowy concept of a Jewish-led world order that's allegedly replacing Pax Americana. From the October 7 Hamas attacks that smell like a setup, to the decimation of Gaza and the Palestinians, to Operation Epic Fury blasting Iran back to the Stone Age—all tied to biblical prophecies, secret weapons, and the push for a Third Temple on the Temple Mount.   Web Site: www.DontTreadonMerica.com https://linktr.ee/DontTreadonMerica Email the show: Donq@donttreadonmerica.com DTOM Store (Promo code DTOM for 10% off) Sponsors: www.makersmark.com www.NordVPN.com  Promo Code: DTOM www.alppouch.com/DTOM www.dubby.gg Promo code: DTOM Social Media:   Don't Tread on Merica TV   DTOM on Facebook   DTOM on X    DTOM on TikTok    DontTreadonMericaTV   DTOM on Instagram    DTOM on YouTube

 No dia 28 de janeiro, o governo Lula realizou uma reunião com diversos representantes da comunidade judaica para discutir o combate ao antissemitismo no Brasil. Por parte da sociedade civil, estiveram presentes instituições, figuras e nomes relevantes, entre eles, o Instituto Brasil-Israel. Por parte do governo, estiveram o vice-presidente, Geraldo Alckmin - que estava no exercício da presidência na ocasião, a ministra das Relações Institucionais, Gleisi Hoffmann, dos Direitos Humanos e da Cidadania, Macaé Evaristo, da Gestão, Esther Duek, e a ministra substituta das Relações Exteriores, Maria Laura. Por que essa reunião aconteceu? Qual era o objetivo? O que pode mudar depois desse diálogo?Além da reunião, a ministra dos Direitos Humanos, Macaé Evaristo, esteve em São Paulo e visitou instituições judaicas como o Memorial do Holocausto e a Casa do Povo. Para saber mais sobre essa ponte de diálogo, a gente conversa com uma parte fundamental deste processo: Clara Ant, chefe da Assessoria Especial de Apoio ao Processo Decisório da Presidência da República.

Na Parashat Terumah, a Torá descreve a construção do Mishkan e seus utensílios sagrados. Entre eles está o altar do incenso (Mizbeach HaKetoret) — revestido de ouro puro. O fogo queimava o incenso diariamente, mas o ouro do altar permanecia intacto.A Chassidut ensina que esse detalhe não é apenas arquitetônico — é espiritual.O ouro que não se consome representa o âmago intocável da alma judaica.Assim como o altar era exposto ao fogo constante e ainda assim não se destruía, o vínculo essencial do judeu com Hashem jamais se rompe. Pode haver distanciamento externo, falhas comportamentais ou períodos de ocultação — mas a conexão essencial (etzem haneshamá) permanece pura.O incenso simboliza a dimensão mais interior da alma — aquela que não depende de lógica, mérito ou compreensão. É um laço ontológico, não emocional. Não é algo que se constrói; é algo que se revela.CURTIU A AULA?FAÇA UM PIX RABINOELIPIX@GMAIL.COM E NOS AJUDE A DARMOS SEQUÊNCIA!#chassidut #mistica#judaismo #Terumá #Parashá #Mishkan #Ketoret #AlmaJudaica #Chassidut #Neshamá #ConexãoEterna #Torá

Nesta aula, exploramos o Shemá Israel como a declaração máxima da fé judaica.Seu significado profundo, sua estrutura e como essa proclamação de unidade transforma a consciência, a tefilá e a vida cotidiana.

Shiur dedicado à Refuá Shleimá de Eliakim Ben NaomiEmParashat Mishpatim, logo após os Dez Mandamentos, a Torá nos surpreende com a lei do eved ivri — e nos ensina que liberdade não é comodidade.Por que a orelha é furada apenas no final? Porque o verdadeiro teste não está no erro, mas no que fazemos depois dele.De “Naassê Venishmá” à tinta de Moshe Rabbeinu, aprendemos que fazer não basta — é preciso querer mais, buscar entender, abraçar a mitzvá.Assim como no Everest, quem cresce é quem encontra forças para dar o passo a mais quando todos já decidiram parar.

Entre tantas decisões que atravessam a parentalidade, uma pergunta aparece com frequência nas famílias judias: como garantir que as crianças tenham contato com os valores judaicos e, ao mesmo tempo, com a diversidade? Uma escola judaica é a solução? Há outros espaços, além das instituições formais de ensino, que promovam a educação judaica? A decisão não se trata apenas de escolher uma instituição de ensino, mas de refletir sobre pertencimento, identidade, memória e futuro, ao mesmo tempo em que se busca garantir que seus filhos e filhas cresçam em diálogo com a diversidade. Para essa conversa, convidamos a Dália Schneider, formada em Direito pela PUC SP e pós graduada em Pedagogia Waldorf, pela Faculdade Rudolf Steiner. Trabalha com educação judaica há quase 2 décadas e atualmente é uma das Coordenadoras do departamento de Ensino da Comunidade Shalom - Sinagoga Masorti de São Paulo. Também é consultora do Museu Judaico de São Paulo, onde contribui para a promoção e preservação da identidade judaica por meio da formação de educadores, desenvolvimento de atividades e produção de conteúdo.

Ever felt the tug to make something you can't find on the shelf? We sit down with attorney and mom-creator Courtney Cohen, whose Florida-to-Chicago journey led her to build a joyful Jewish lifestyle brand from a single sticker into a growing catalog of hats, tees, totes, and more. The throughline is Jewish joy—captured in weekly challah, kids who treat stickers like art supplies, and designs that turn bagels and Yiddish into everyday style.Courtney walks us through her unconventional path: eight years in PR, a leap to law, then the itch to create fun, modern Judaica, Da Shayna Punims, that isn't only for holidays or display cases. She shares how starting without a formal business plan forced fast learning, why bringing embroidery and printing in-house changed quality and timelines, and how she prototypes obsessively—auditioning fonts, testing placements, and refining until the piece feels right. We talk candidly about marketing in the age of algorithms, from TikTok's vibrant Jewish corners to the bizarre reality of bots dropping geopolitics into soup videos, and why focusing on real community beats chasing viral spikes.The conversation widens into representation and culture: the promise and pitfalls of Hanukkah movies, choosing Jewish actors for Jewish stories, and the simple rituals that anchor identity when the world feels loud. Courtney's big dream? Thoughtful expansion—dishware with a Kate Spade vibe, espresso cups with bagel wit, and traveling to markets like Jewish Joy Con to meet the people who wear and gift her work. Along the way, you'll hear lightning-round favorites, from beloved Yiddish words to the holiday that makes everything feel cozy.If you care about creative entrepreneurship, Jewish small business, and the craft behind products that make daily life brighter, this one's for you. Listen, share with a friend who loves bagels and good fonts, and tell us: what does Jewish joy look like in your home?

For a 10% discount on Rabbi David Ashear's new book LIVING EMUNAH ON THE PARASHAH 2 click the link below https://www.artscroll.com/ Books/9781422645581.html We find that some people merit extraordinary heavenly help in their physical lives, while others receive extraordinary help in their spiritual lives. The true purpose of life, however, is not physical comfort or material success—it is spiritual growth . The physical blessings we receive are only given to help us achieve higher levels of spirituality. Our main focus in our tefillot should therefore be for heavenly help in our spiritual lives, and for the spiritual success of our children. No matter how hopeless a situation may appear, Hashem can lift a person from the lowest depths to the highest heights. Rivkah Imenu is the perfect example of this truth. She grew up in a home of spiritual darkness. Her father, Betuel, was a deceitful and corrupt man. Her brother, Lavan, was a greedy trickster. The city of Charan was filled with idolatry, dishonesty, and moral decay. The Midrash tells us that Rivkah's home was filled with the stench of idol worship. Her father was among the leaders of that idolatrous society, and her brother was his enthusiastic disciple. Rivkah was surrounded by tum'ah , but all she wanted was kedushah . How could she possibly lead a life of Torah and mitzvot in such a place? How would she ever find a husband who would lift her toward holiness? And then, one morning, while living the same ordinary life in the same spiritually harmful atmosphere, everything changed. In an instant, she was chosen to marry the son of Avraham Avinu , the Gadol HaDor . She went from the darkest home in Charan to the holiest home in the world. Her tefillot had brought her the greatest yeshuah imaginable. Rivkah became one of the mothers of Klal Yisrael . Hashem lifted her from spiritual darkness to eternal greatness. This lesson remains true for all of us. Hashem can take a person from any environment—no matter how far from holiness—and raise him to the greatest levels of kedushah . Nothing is beyond His power. A man related that his son had moved to another city, far from their family. All his other children lived nearby, and all were shomrei Torah u'mitzvot . This son's new city, however, had a much lower level of Torah observance. The father and mother were heartbroken. Their greatest joy in life was knowing that their children were growing spiritually and learning Torah every day, and now they feared this son would lose that connection. They prayed daily for their son's ruchaniyut . Time passed, and their son remained in that city for many years. One day, they attended a local yeshivah auction and noticed one of the prizes was a Judaica package that included the entire ArtScroll Shas in English. They dreamed of their son learning from those very Gemarot , so they placed a ticket in the raffle—and they won. They now had an entire Shas in boxes in their home. They used it as a reminder and motivation to continue praying for their son's spiritual growth. A few months later, their son called to tell them he was making a siyum . They were stunned. They had no idea he had been learning. Overjoyed, they told him about the Shas they had won and offered it to him as a gift. He was delighted and said he would love to have it. Not long after, their son and his wife found a new home—right next door to a kollel . He arranged to learn there daily and quickly became part of the community. The parents decided to bring the Shas to him personally. They packed the heavy volumes into four large boxes and went to the airport. Each box weighed over eighty pounds. The total excess baggage should have cost them hundreds of dollars. When they arrived at the counter, the agent smiled and said, "Today, we're giving you four extra suitcases free of charge." Without further explanation, he checked in all the boxes. They were able to bring the entire Shas free of charge to their son's new home, where it would be used daily for Torah study. Our tefillot for ourselves and for our children can move mountains. We often pray for livelihood or comfort—but the greatest blessings of all are in the spiritual realm. When we pray for ruchaniyut , Hashem appreciates it so much, because that is the true purpose of life: to grow closer to Him and to help our children do the same. Shabbat Shalom.

Ever seen a kid turn a hobby into something you can touch, wear, or play? We sit down with two creators who prove that tiny steps can transform into big wins. First, Rochel Tzivia walks us through her sewing journey—from learning to thread a bobbin to designing and stitching her own Bas Mitzvah dress. She shares smart alteration tricks, how to rescue a too-short dress with a new tier, and why a dedicated sewing nook under the stairs changed everything. Along the way, she honors her great-grandmother's seamstress legacy and reminds us that the real craft is patience: pin, cut, sew, unpick, breathe, repeat.Then we meet Rafael, the ten-year-old cofounder of Mentsch Cards, a mitzvah trading card game you can find in Judaica shops and online. He breaks down how each card teaches a single mitzvah with fun facts and gameplay stats, how silver and gold cards work, and why you have to complete five real-life tasks to earn that shiny gold. Behind the scenes, he and his father researched Sefer HaChinuch and Rambam, hired an illustrator, found a factory, and partnered with a distributor—real product steps, kid-level heart. With 27 stores on board and plans for new languages, he's building a brand that turns collecting into character.What ties these stories together is a simple truth: small actions compound. A custom hem boosts confidence. A card pack nudges kindness at home. If you've got an idea, make the first version for yourself. Set up your space so starting is easy, share your progress, and let momentum grow. We're celebrating kids who finish what they start—and inviting you to do the same.If this inspired you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review.

One of our most frequently requested guests, Rabbi Chaim Eisen, returns for a wide-ranging conversation on the broader tradition of Ḥazal and the Rishonim, as illuminated through Maimonides' cosmological framework. While the Rambam's understanding of providence, revelation, and miracles was articulated through the science of his time, his goal was never to innovate a lone philosophy, but to express the timeless truths of the Torah's sages in the intellectual language of his era. Many assume that if the physics is outdated, the metaphysics must be too—but that assumption reflects a deep misunderstanding of how firmly Maimonides stood within the mainstream tradition. We explore how this unified worldview—shared by the overwhelming majority of the Rishonim—preserves the harmony between Torah, reason, and reality. The discussion also considers the role of Kabbalah as another mode of expression within that same continuum of truth, while recognizing how easily its metaphors can be distorted when read literally. The conversation culminates with some of the most challenging theological questions: Can God do the impossible? And if direct communion with God were entertained, would it open dilemmas that Maimonides and the sages of Israel worked so carefully to guard against?---*This episode is dedicated to the refua shelema of Sarah Miriam bat Tamar, Binyamin ben Zilpa, and our dear friend Yaakov ben Haya Sarah Malakh---• Bio: Rabbi Chaim Eisen is the founder and dean of Yeshivath Sharashim – Zion Bible Studies, a Web-based educational venture to engage users worldwide in a deepening understanding of the Hebrew Bible and other religious classics, through live, recorded, and written content. An acclaimed speaker, he's been stimulating audiences throughout Israel, North America, and Europe for over 40 years. For nearly all his career, he's been involved in adult education, principally as a senior rabbinical lecturer at the Orthodox Union (OU) Jerusalem World Center, where he taught for more than 36 years. For over 20 years, he also taught Talmud and Midrash, Biblical commentary, and especially Jewish thought and philosophy at various yeshivot in Israel. In addition, he served as a Torah lecturer in the Israel Defense Forces Rabbinate Torah Lecture Corps (reserves), for over 16 years, and continued to volunteer there, after his retirement. Besides teaching, he was founding editor of the OU journal 'Jewish Thought: A Journal of Torah Scholarship' and has written and edited numerous essays in this field. He's been teaching, editing, and publishing Judaica for more than four decades. In particular, he feels passionately that, to pave the way for God's “great and awesome day” (Yoel 3:4 and Malachi 3:23), there's a burning urgency now to enunciate the Torah's message in the global marketplace of ideas, where, all too often, it's so sincerely sought — and so sorely missing. Tragically, nowadays, few who value the Torah's message appreciate the global marketplace of ideas — and vice versa. Most of all, he's committed to harnessing a lifetime of Torah study and teaching, to address and redress this absence, by the Torah's light. This is his mission — and the raison d'être of Yeshivath Sharashim – Zion Bible Studies.---• Check out his channel: https://www.youtube.com/@jewishphilosophymatters ---• Welcome to JUDAISM DEMYSTIFIED: A PODCAST FOR THE PERPLEXED | Co-hosted by Benjy & Benzi | Thank you to...Super Patron: Jordan Karmily, Platinum Patron: Craig Gordon, Rod Ilian, Gold Patrons: Dovidchai Abramchayev, Lazer Cohen, Travis Krueger, Vasili Volkoff, Vasya, Silver Patrons: Ellen Fleischer, Daniel M., Rabbi Pinny Rosenthal, Fred & Antonio, Jeffrey Wasserman, and Jacob Winston!

A vida em Israel não é a mesma dois anos após o 7 de outubro, um evento que trouxe angústias e muita incerteza para a população da região. Nesse período de festas e começo de um novo ano judaico, que costumava ser de celebrações, os israelenses ainda lidam com a dor e a perda resultantes da guerra, da situação dos reféns e da população em Gaza. Apesar do cenário pessimista, existe um desejo entre a população israelense de ver essa fase como temporária e de retomar uma rotina, mesmo que ela seja diferente da anterior. Quem conversa com a gente hoje é a Revital Poleg, foi diplomata do Ministério das Relações Exteriores de Israel e Representante Geral da Agência Judaica no Brasil, e é colaboradora do IBI.

Passando a Limpo: Nesta terça-feira (7), Igor Maciel e a bancada do programa conversam com Jáder Tachlitsky. Ele é economista, professor de Cultura Judaica e História Judaica e coordenador de comunicação da Federação Israelita de Pernambuco (Fipe), e conversa sobre os 2 anos da guerra entre Israel e Hamas. O Doutor em Ciência Política e professor da Universidade Católica de Pernambuco, Antônio Lucena, repercute a ligação entre Lula e Trump.

In this eye-opening conversation, therapist Rachel Tuchman dives deep into the way we talk about food, body image, and health in the frum community — and why it matters more than we think. From Yom Tov tables filled with diet talk to the surge of GLP-1 weight-loss injections, Rachel explores how these messages shape our children's self-image, strain our relationships, and fuel anxiety. She challenges the obsession with quick fixes and encourages a shift toward true health — meaningful connection, joy around food, and emotional well-being. A must-listen for anyone who wants to build a healthier, happier family culture.

For our first-ever live Judaism Demystified podcast shiur, we're honored to welcome back Rabbi Chaim Eisen — visiting from Israel for his third appearance on the show. In front of a packed audience, Rabbi Eisen takes us on a riveting journey into one of the most profound and misunderstood topics in Jewish thought: Are the miracles of the Exodus (and other miracles) an extension of nature — or its negation? This shiur explores the complex interplay between miracles and nature, the boundaries between the natural and the supernatural, and the deeper theological implications of Hashgakha Pratit (individual Divine providence) and Hashgakha Klalit (general providence). Drawing from the rich traditions of Rambam and Ramban, Rabbi Eisen unpacks their points of divergence and surprising convergence — shedding light on how each understood the hand of God in the workings of the world. While no single session can fully address the vast scope of these ideas, this shiur offers clarity on many common misconceptions and opens the door to deeper inquiry into how we understand miracles, nature, and Divine involvement in our lives.---*This episode is dedicated to the refua shelema of Sarah Miriam bat Tamar, Binyamin ben Zilpa, and our dear friend Yaakov ben Haya Sarah Malakh---• Bio: Rabbi Chaim Eisen is the founder and dean of Yeshivath Sharashim – Zion Bible Studies, a Web-based educational venture to engage users worldwide in a deepening understanding of the Hebrew Bible and other religious classics, through live, recorded, and written content.

In particular, he feels passionately that, to pave the way for God's “great and awesome day” (Yoel 3:4 and Malachi 3:23), there's a burning urgency now to enunciate the Torah's message in the global marketplace of ideas, where, all too often, it's so sincerely sought — and so sorely missing. Tragically, nowadays, few who value the Torah's message appreciate the global marketplace of ideas — and vice versa. Most of all, he's committed to harnessing a lifetime of Torah study and teaching, to address and redress this absence, by the Torah's light. This is his mission — and the raison d'être of Yeshivath Sharashim – Zion Bible Studies.---• Check out his channel: https://www.youtube.com/@jewishphilosophymatters ---• Welcome to JUDAISM DEMYSTIFIED: A PODCAST FOR THE PERPLEXED | Co-hosted by Benjy & Benzi | Thank you to...Super Patron: Jordan Karmily, Platinum Patron: Craig Gordon, Rod Ilian, Gold Patrons: Dovidchai Abramchayev, Lazer Cohen, Travis Krueger, Vasili Volkoff, Vasya, Silver Patrons: Ellen Fleischer, Daniel M., Rabbi Pinny Rosenthal, Fred & Antonio, Jeffrey Wasserman, and Jacob Winston!

She Lost Her Son in a Terror Attack on the Brooklyn Bridge – Deborah Halberstam's Story In this deeply emotional and powerful episode, Deborah Halberstam shares the heartbreaking story of her son Ari Halberstam, a 16-year-old yeshiva student who was murdered in a 1994 terror attack on the Brooklyn Bridge. Deborah recounts Ari's unique upbringing, his deep connection to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and the chilling events leading up to the attack that took his life. She opens up about her personal grief, her years-long battle for justice, and how she transformed tragedy into activism—shaping counterterrorism policies and founding the Jewish Children's Museum in Ari's memory. This is more than a story of loss—it's a story of strength, legacy, and the unwavering spirit of a mother who refused to let her son be forgotten.

Unlock the profound wisdom of Jewish tradition and discover the mitzvah of owning Torah books with us. In this episode, we embark on an exploration of Siman 28 of the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, discussing the sacred obligation of writing or commissioning a Sefer Torah. We'll also reveal how acquiring other Jewish texts, like the Chumash, Mishnah, or Gemara, can fulfill this mitzvah, even for those who cannot commission a full Torah scroll. We'll highlight the accessibility of these sacred texts through publishers like ArtScroll, emphasizing their role in making Torah study available to all.As we continue our journey, I'll take you through the historical and cultural tapestry that underscores the reverence of holy books and scrolls within Jewish communities. Learn about the halachic guidelines that govern the handling and storage of sacred texts, as well as the practices that reflect these guidelines—such as standing when a Torah scroll is carried and ensuring holy books are treated with respect. Delve into the communal learning traditions shaped by the historic rarity and expense of these texts, and how these practices have helped preserve their sanctity over the ages.Finally, we'll explore the respectful use of Torah books and Judaica, focusing on the limitations and proper disposal practices that honor these sacred items. Discover the nuances of handling holy writings, including the respectful rebinding of books and the ethical considerations when purchasing sacred items from non-Jews. Through engaging discussions and insights, this episode illuminates the importance of upholding reverence for our treasured Torah books, ensuring their dignified treatment for generations to come.

Embracing Exile: The Case for Jewish Diaspora (Oxford University Press, 2025) analyzes biblical and rabbinic texts, philosophical treatises, studies of Kabbalah, Hasidism, and a multiplicity of modern expressions for a comprehensive history of Jewish responses to and justifications of their diasporas. It shows that Diaspora Jews through the ages insisted that God joined them in their exiles, that "Zion" was found in Babylon and Eastern Europe, and that, as citizens of the world, Jews could only live throughout the world. The result is a convincing assertion that lament has not been the most common Jewish response to diaspora and that Zionism is not the natural outcome of either Jewish ideology or history. David Kraemer is Joseph J. and Dora Abbell Librarian at the Jewish Theological Seminary, where he has also served as Professor of Talmud and Rabbinics for many years. As Librarian, he is at the helm of the most extensive collection of Judaica-rare and contemporary-in the Western hemisphere. He is the author of several books on Rabbinic Judaism and its texts, the social and religious history of Jews in antiquity, and Jewish rituals and their development.

Episode 92.  Jews had lived in Libya since the third century BCE, but 1967 marked their final expulsion from the majority Muslim country. Raphael Luzon was a child at the time and fled with his family. Like many, they went to Italy. Overnight, his environment changed. Gone were his Jewish, Muslim and Catholic classmates. Gone was the exchange of holiday greetings with Muslim neighbors. But all was not lost. Those relationships had planted a seed, and that seed grew. Over the decades since university, Raphael has used his religious and cultural knowledge, along with his Arabic, Italian and English, to work in journalism, management, and interfaith dialogue. Within this latter sphere, he has brought high-level religious leaders like the Dalai Llama and Catholic cardinals together for constructive interfaith discussions. In this conversation, you'll hear stories of success, disappointment and perseverance. Especially in these trying times, it's good to be reminded that connection is possible and what it takes to reach that goal. Highlights: Upbringing as an Orthodox Jew in Libya.Instances of "gentleman hypocrisy" and the challenges of integrity in public.Overcoming challenges and finding common ground through religious literacy, sacred texts and mutual respect.The importance of timing and recognizing when constructive dialogue can occur.Participants must be a believer and open-minded, not seeing their religion as the ‘right' way. Trialogue interrupted by challenges.Ongoing initiatives like MENA 2050.Libyan unity and justice effort.Bio:  Raphael was born in Bengasi, Libya. Thrown out of Libya after a bloody pogrom during the “Six Day War”, in he moved 1967 to Rome, Italy, where he lived for 27 years. He then lived in Israel for 6 years.He completed a degree in Political Science at University of Romaat, then worked for 16 years in diplomacy dealing with: Organization, Press and Information, Commercial and Economics, and Administration. He was also a press correspondent in Italy, for Israeli newspapers and media, including Maariv and Hadashot and the Israeli Radio Galei Zahal. In Israel Raphael was active in journalism & management.Currently, Raphael resides in Europe as Manager of a company dealing with Judaica items, books, craft and silver gifts.

Political anthropologists Ajantha Subramanian and Lori Allen are back to continue RTB's Violent Majorities series with a set of three episodes on long-distance ethno-nationalism. Today, they speak with Peter Beinart (an editor at Jewish Currents and Professor of Journalism and Political Science at the City University of New York) about his just-released book, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning (Knopf, 2025). It aims to mobilize Jewish religious ethics and teachings to reach a Jewish-American audience shaped by Zionism. Beinart seeks to debunk myths that prevent many from realizing that the moral abominations committed against Palestinians are part of the Israeli settler-colonial-nation-state project. Peter is haunted by the fact that some of the most ardent opposition to apartheid in his parents' country of South Africa came from secular Jewish people, and is troubled by the nationalistic tendency of religiously observant Jews there in the apartheid era. The three also discuss questions of solidarity against and among authoritarians, Israel's threat to international law, the dangers of minority alliances with majoritarian politics, campus politics, and the importance of seeing Gaza and Palestine as connected to us all. Peter's Recallable Book is Accepting the Yoke of Heaven: Commentary on the Weekly Torah Portion, by Orthodox scientist, philosopher, and Judaica scholar Yeshayahu Leibowitz (1903-1994), who emphasized the idolatry of investing the state with anything more than a supportive role in Jewish life. Mentioned in the Episode: 119 Violent Majorities, Indian and Israeli Ethnonationalism. Episode 2: Natasha Roth-Rowland with Ajantha and Lori Aparna Gopalan, "The Hindu Nationalists Using the Pro-Israel Playbook," Jewish Currents. Isabella Hammad, Recognizing the Stranger: On Palestine and Narrative. Martin Luther King, Letter from a Birmingham Jail. Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Message.

Political anthropologists Ajantha Subramanian and Lori Allen are back to continue RTB's Violent Majorities series with a set of three episodes on long-distance ethno-nationalism. Today, they speak with Peter Beinart (an editor at Jewish Currents and Professor of Journalism and Political Science at the City University of New York) about his just-released book, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning (Knopf, 2025). It aims to mobilize Jewish religious ethics and teachings to reach a Jewish-American audience shaped by Zionism. Beinart seeks to debunk myths that prevent many from realizing that the moral abominations committed against Palestinians are part of the Israeli settler-colonial-nation-state project. Peter is haunted by the fact that some of the most ardent opposition to apartheid in his parents' country of South Africa came from secular Jewish people, and is troubled by the nationalistic tendency of religiously observant Jews there in the apartheid era. The three also discuss questions of solidarity against and among authoritarians, Israel's threat to international law, the dangers of minority alliances with majoritarian politics, campus politics, and the importance of seeing Gaza and Palestine as connected to us all. Peter's Recallable Book is Accepting the Yoke of Heaven: Commentary on the Weekly Torah Portion, by Orthodox scientist, philosopher, and Judaica scholar Yeshayahu Leibowitz (1903-1994), who emphasized the idolatry of investing the state with anything more than a supportive role in Jewish life.
