Welcome to our special Shovavim series on humility. We've been talking about how when things happen, it's up to the person how to receive it. We discussed how this applies in a general way, like the Galut of Jewish people that changed over the 400 years. They initially started off as sojourners in Eretz Yisrael and they switched to going to Mitzrayim in a calm way, then there was hard work and then there was torture because the lesson is to become humbled and it's up to the receiver to be humbled by the situation. The sefer Mishpat Sedek on Tehilim by Rav Moshe of Zolchin was written in 1875. In it he says something very interesting: When something goes wrong and the person is concerned or worried it's a sign that he has a pure soul. This is based on a Gemara in Masechet Shabbat 105B, where it says in the name of Rabbi Yochanan that when something happens in a group, whether it's a family or a group of friends, everyone should be concerned. As it says, אחד מבני חבורה שמת תדאג כל החבורה כולה (If) one of the group passes away (heaven forbid), the whole group should be concerned. The Rambam brings it down in the laws of Avelut , Chapter 13, Halacha 12, where he says, anyone that does not mourn like the Chachamim told us to do is a cruel person. Rather he should be worried and concerned and check his deeds and return to Teshuva . He says if one person from the group passes away… they should be aware He's telling us that when things happen, it's for a reason, to arouse us to look into our deeds. and continues. Rabbi Moshe of Zolchin continues in his sefer Mishpat Sedek " Do not be like those people that are not concerned at all when something bad happens, they say ' וקבל הכל בשמחה /Accept everything with happiness,' and they start dancing. זה שקר גמור / This is a total falsehood. We have to be serious when things go wrong. We have to take the message-the main reason why it went wrong was to bring a little humility . And therefore when things go wrong, humble yourself, be concerned about your sins. Do teshuva. This is a very important concept that people misunderstand. They hear a story about a great rabbi whose house burnt down, and he started dancing in front of the house. They hear that story and when something goes wrong for them, like a terrible car accident lo Alenu, and everybody walked away from it, they start to dance. Of course dance. Have Hakarat HaTov, make a Seuda Hodaah, do whatever you like . But take a minute. Something happened here and it was for a reason. Humble yourself, get the message, and then dance. We don't go right into the celebration without saying, Hold on, something happened for a reason . It's there to humble us. This is a very important point because if we don't walk away with a message, we haven't accomplished anything. I heard a story from Rabbi Yehuda Ades (may he have a refuah shelemah)- After his father Rav Yaakov Ades had a stroke, he went to visit him with his Rebbi, Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach. Rav Yaakov was bedridden, and not functioning well, although his mind was still working. And Rav Shlomo Zalman told Rav Yehuda (perhaps in response to a question) " Who knows if one humbling feeling that he has, or one groan that he has will cleanse his entire life retroactively from any little bit of extra arrogance that he had." Now, that may sound like a heavy statement, but it gave me hizzuk , because when things go wrong, we start getting down, thinking, ' What's wrong with me? I'm no good.' But we're talking about Kaddosh Elyon Chacham Rav Yaakov Ades. And Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach said, " Yes, everybody needs to be humbled. " We have a long way, we're not there yet. And with this, Rav Ades explained one of the famous questions, which is, Why do we pray for suffering to go away if we believe everything is good for us? You may say because it's painful. But if you go to the dentist and he has to drill a cavity or you'll need a root canal, you don't pray for him to stop because it's painful. You know it's good for him to drill. So too, if anything that goes wrong is good for me, why not just stay with it and accept it? But he explained that the purpose of suffering is to become humble. And once a person gets the message and turns humbly to Hashem and surrenders, there's no need for the suffering anymore. The suffering accomplished what it needed to accomplish. What a fascinating explanation! That means when the person is in a very difficult situation and they just can't handle it, and they break down and pray to Hashem, " Hashem, please, I don't know what to do, " that humility accomplished, so they no longer need the suffering. So the question isn't, "Why should you ask for suffering to go away if it's good for you?" Because the good is that its going to make you humble. And praying from the depths of your heart and pleading for it to go away, is humility . And Rabbi Ades said that a lot of times we we don't realize why things are happening and we have to understand why they're happening. He gave him a mashal - Sometimes people go to a hospital for something minor and it develops into something more serious. He said, possibly the reason is the person was sent to the hospital to be humbled. Being in a hospital is humiliating. You have a roommate, the nurse has to help with bodily functions. It's not a picnic, to put it mildly. But if the person starts to complain about the accommodations, about the food etc, as if he's in a hotel, he doesn't understand. He wasn't sent to a hotel. He was there to get the message that, " I'm not in charge. I'm not in control. I need Hashem. Please Hashem, get me out of here!" This is concept that Galut is in the eyes of the beholde r or suffering is in the eyes of the holder. The Pele Yoetz says on the topic of Galut, that Galut doesn't have to be that you go to a foreign land. He says we see a proof from the Pesikta Rabbati which tells us Hashem make Succot come after Kippur because as the Rambam told us, going into exile forgives our sins. So Hashem said, "Go into the Succah, that's a Kaparah." The Rambam says in Moreh Nevuchim that the purpose of the Succah is to humble yourself. You're sitting in a hut. Remember your beginnings. You're humble. But even when you go to a Shul or Bet Midrash that's not comfortable, whether too hot, it's too cold, that's Galut . He says, when it's Erev Pesach and you can't be in your dining room and you can't be here and you can't be there and you're prisoner in your own house, that's Galut . When you go on a business trip, Galut Mechaperet . But it all depends on how you look at it. Rabbi Ades said that when he was still a young man with many children in the house, maybe giving Shiur in the yeshiva, one of his friends came to him in the month of Av during Ben HaZmanim the mid-semester break. The friend said that it was brought down that great Sadikim used to go into Galut . They'd exile themselves. The Chida did it, the Gaon of Vilna did it… They would go to a place where no one recognized them, sit in the back of the shul and learn. They'd wait for people to invite them to their homes to eat. They'd sleep on the shul benches without any kavod and they'd humble themselves. This friend suggested leaving Yerushalayim for Meron , sleeping by the cave of Rav Shimon Bar Yochai and going into Galut . But what were they leaving behind? A wife and six kids! So Rabbi Ades told his friend, " You don't want to go into Galut, you want to go on a picnic! You just want to get away from your wife and kids. Maybe it's more humbling to be home with your wife and kids for three weeks!" It's all in how you look at it and the lessons that you get.

Francesco Battistini"Jerusalem Suite"Un hotel in prima linea tra Israele e PalestinaNeri Pozza Editorewww.neripozza.it«Il Signore Iddio divise tutta la bellezza in dieci parti: ne consegnò nove a Gerusalemme e una al resto del mondo. Poi divise anche il dolore in dieci parti e di nuovo ne assegnò nove a Gerusalemme e una al resto del mondo».Talmud di Gerusalemme, Kiddushin 49bC'è un luogo, l'American Colony di Gerusalemme, che è sempre stato sulla prima linea del conflitto arabo-israeliano. Non è solo un albergo storico e di fascino. Nato quasi 150 anni fa nella vecchia casa di un effendi, culla d'una piccola colonia di presbiteriani americani, il Colony, sul limite fra l'Est e l'Ovest, ha sempre cercato d'essere un luogo di neutralità, di dialogo, d'incontro fra cristiani, ebrei, musulmani. Il libro è la storia di questo albergo. Raccontato attraverso i suoi personaggi, le sue stanze, gli eventi che l'hanno abitato. Fu un lenzuolo del Colony, usato come bandiera bianca, a sancire la fine della dominazione ottomana. Qui venivano Lawrence d'Arabia a rifugiarsi e Churchill a ridisegnare il Medio Oriente, Selma Lagerlöf a scrivere il suo romanzo da Nobel e Mark Twain a riposarsi. Nel 1948 da questi tetti si sparavano la Legione Araba e la Banda Stern. Durante le guerre dei Sei giorni e del Kippur in questa reception bivaccavano i giornalisti di tutto il mondo. In questi giardini giocava un piccolo Rudolf Hess, futura anima nera della Shoah, e nella camera 16 ci furono le prime trattative per gli accordi di Oslo. Qui alloggiava Tony Blair quand'era inviato per la Cisgiordania e Gaza e qui passava John Kerry, dopo gli incontri con Netanyahu. Il Colony è ancora oggi una piccola Palestina nella Gerusalemme occupata, dove molti leader palestinesi non mettono piede, e insieme un pezzo d'Israele che pochi politici israeliani frequentano. Una terra di nessuno e di tutti. Plato Ustinov vi piantò due palme della pace più volte incendiate e poi ripiantate dal nipote Peter. Durante le intifade, il Colony era una fortezza sicura: un rigido statuto fissa le quote “etniche” dei camerieri che vi possono lavorare, e per questo nessuno l'ha mai attaccato.Francesco Battistini è inviato speciale al Corriere della Sera, dopo aver lavorato al Giornale di Indro Montanelli e alla Voce.

Before Jesus came for us, people had to make constant sacrificial offerings as atonement for their sins. But even with those sacrifices, the guilt of their sin never went away. Jesus' death on the cross not only paid for our sins -- it removed them from us so that we could be cleared of guilt forever.

The Old Testament people had to make continual sacrifices for their sins, but the guilt of their sin never went away. When Jesus came and died on the cross, His sacrifice was the final sacrifice needed to not only offer us forgiveness but to clear us of the guilt that our sin brings forever.

Heshvan is the month that comes after Tishri -- the month containing Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and multiple other Jewish holidays. It (Heshvan) is often framed as "a month with no Jewish holidays." The problem? It is not a month with no Jewish holidays! In this episode, Lex, Miriam, and Rena Yehuda (members of Judaism Unbound's staff team) dive into multiple Jewish holidays that have taken place in the past -- and continue to take place today -- during the month of Heshvan. They also ask some big questions about how we might reconceptualize the role of Heshvan entirely!Register for the next gathering of Shabbat Unbound on November 22nd via this link!

As I record this episode, it is the day of Yom Kippur. the Day of Atonement, or the Day of Covering. The literal meaning of Kippur is "the hand the covers the mouth of the accuser." We all know who the accuser is - hasatan. He is ever in our face accusing us of our shortcomings, even when we have already dealt with them with our Heavenly Father. This day is a day to "afflict" ourselves as it says in Leviticus 23. There are different ways to afflict ourselves and Isaiah 58 gives us some clarity on that issue. These different feasts that come around through the year, every year, serve to remind us of what our Heavenly Father has done for us, is doing for us currently, and is preparing to do for us in the future. That's why they are called the Feasts of the Lord. He set them up so that we will be constantly reminded of how intricately He is involved in our lives. He is the Living Elohim. The music in this video comes from the album "Living Water" as well as the video by the same name on this channel. Blessings.

It is customary for men to immerse in the Mikveh on Ereb Yom Kippur. This is especially important for the Hazanim who will be leading the prayer services on Yom Kippur, so they can represent the congregation in a state of purity. The work of responsa Min Ha'shamayim (Rabbi Yaakov of Marvege, France, 13th century) mentions that if all Hazanim ensured to immerse in a Mikveh before leading the congregation in Tefila, this would hasten the arrival of Mashiah. No Beracha is recited over this immersion, as this practice is observed as a custom, and not as a strict Halachic requirement. If one is unable to immerse in a Mikveh on Ereb Yom Kippur, he can observe this custom by having 9 Kabin – or 12.5 liters – of water poured on him. The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) writes that somebody else should pour the water over the person. This quantity of water should be placed into buckets, and just before each bucket is emptied over the person, the next bucket should begin to be poured. The Ben Ish Hai also mentions another option, which is to wash a special Netilat Yadayim forty times with special Kavanot (intentions). Nowadays, when we have showers in the homes, it suffices to stand under the shower until 12.5 liters of waters falls over the body, if one is unable to immerse in a Mikveh. Strictly speaking, one is not required to remove Hasisot ("obstructions") from his body before this immersion, since, as mentioned, this practice is observed only as a custom, and not as an outright Halachic requirement. This is the ruling of Hacham Ovadia Yosef. Nevertheless, given the importance of entering Yom Kippur in a state of purity, it is proper to remove any rings or other objects from the body, and to cut one's fingernails, before immersing. Some have the custom of reciting Vidui (confession) while in the Mikveh. Of course, one must ensure not to utter God's Name in the Mikveh, but it is permissible to make the Vidui declaration without mentioning God's Name while in the Mikveh. The Kavanot that one should have while immersing in the Mikveh on Ereb Yom Kippur are the same as one should have before immersing on Ereb Rosh Hashanah. Namely, the first immersion serves to bring on general purity, and the second is to correct the negative trait of anger. (The Hebrew word "Ka'as" – "anger" –has the numerical value of 150, and when we add to that sum the word itself, we arrive at 151, which is the numerical value of the word "Mikveh.") The third time one immerses in the water, he should have in mind to "sweeten" the harsh judgments through the attribute of divine kindness, and the fourth immersion should be done for the purpose of removing the weekday "garments" from the soul. Finally, the fifth immersion serves to bring on the special spiritual light of Yom Kippur. Only married ladies that are pure can dip in mikveh Ereb Kippur. All others like single girls or ladies that are not pure should not dip ereb Kippur. This is from Ner Sion page 118. It is proper to immerse on Ereb Yom Kippur even if one had immersed on Ereb Rosh Hashanah and had not become Tameh (ritually impure) in the interim. One should wear fine garments on Yom Kippur. The Gemara (Shabbat 119) infers this requirement from the verse, "Li'kdosh Hashem Mechubad" ("[you should regard] the holy one of God with respect" – Yeshayahu 58:13). "Kedosh Hashem" refers to Yom Kippur, the day that is sacred before God, and we are enjoined to treat it with respect by wearing fine clothing. The Be'sel Ha'hochma (Rav Betzalel Stern, 1911-1989) ruled that one should not wear on Yom Kippur a white garment with gold embroidery. White symbolizes purity of sin, and gold brings to mind the sin of the golden calf and thus represents sin. It is therefore inappropriate to wear them together. It is permissible to wear gold jewelry – such as rings and watches – on Yom Kippur. However, the Mishna Berura (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan of Radin, 1839-1933) writes that one should wear on Yom Kippur only jewelry that one normally wears during the week, but not special jewelry that is generally reserved for Shabbat. Even though no meals are eaten on Yom Kippur, one should place a nice, white tablecloth on his tables in preparation for Yom Kippur in honor of the Yom Tob, just as is normally done for Shabbat. The tablecloths should be left on the tables throughout Yom Kippur. The Ma'amar Mordechai writes that it is proper to adorn the tables in one's home for Yom Kippur by placing Torah books on them. This is mentioned by the Ben Ish Hai, as well, and Rav Haim Palachi (Turkey, 1788-1869) writes that this is a proper practice to observe. One should clean the home for Yom Kippur just as one does for Shabbat, because Yom Kippur is called "Shabbat Shabbaton" and should thus be treated with honor just like Shabbat.

Yom Kippur

A New Year and the Mercies of Kippur

Friday October 11 2024, sundown Ending nightfall of Saturday October 12, 2024Last Wednesday October 2 to Friday October 4 2024 was the Jewish Holiday of Rosh Hashanah or the Blowing of the Trumpets!This morning we shall discuss the “Day of Atonement” or known as “Yom Kippur” [ Yom = the day, Kippur = ask for forgiveness].  Other words this is a special Feast in which you and I ask our Heavenly Father for all those sins which we may have over looked throughout the past year.In recognition of Yahweh's Words, we are instructed to honor and respect His 7 Holy Feast periods. Now I realize that the conditions set forth by Yahweh differs from what He sets forth in the beginning. What caught my interest into these 7 Holy Feasts was the Prophetic Message contained within them.We find that within these, 4 are in the season of the spring, while the remaining 3 are in the fall or “harvest. In studying the Prophecy aspect of Yahweh's Words, we realize and conclude that these Holy Feasts play an important role in the Prophecy of Yahshua Messiah concerning the past and the present. Let's take a brief view of the first 4 FeastsThe Feast of Passover pointed to Yahshua's death on Calvary as “the Lamb of Yahweh, who taketh away the sin of the world”, John 1:29The Feast of Unleavened Bread attested to the fact that Yahshua's body, unlike all others would not decay in the grave. The Feast of Firstfruits proclaimed the certainty of His bodily resurrection. The acceptance by Yahweh of the Firstfruits [sheaf] of the spring barley harvest guaranteed a full harvest to follow. By virtue of the resurrection of Yahshua Messiah, He is the Firstfruit and guarantees that all the Saints within Him will one day rise from the grave.The Feast of Pentecost, which occurs exactly 50 days after Firstfruits [the resurrection of the Messiah] anticipated the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the origin of the “Ek-kelsia”. We read in the Jewish Talmud, in the tractate of Sotah, foli #48 it reads in part “when Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi died, the Holy Spirit departed from Israel” These 4 events in the life of Yahshua Messiah, which the 4 spring feasts depicted, are history. We can look back at these events and they can be examined as historical facts. We can say that the first 4 set the foundation for the remaining 3. As I think on this foundation, I think of the Tabernacle, which is to come, and when this Tabernacle comes, then all of His Elect come to dwell in the eternalThe fall Feasts have not yet occurred! They are yet future and predict with absolute certainty, events that will most assuredly unfold. As the 4 spring Feasts were fulfilled literally and right on schedule in connection with the Messiah's first coming, the 3 Fall Feasts will likewise be fulfilled literally and right on schedule in connection with His second coming.What about the future of the Day of Atonement?Let's keep in mind, that the Levitical Sacrifices were a shadow of the good things that are coming.Read Hebrews 10:11   Those laws of the Old Covenant could never remove sin! Even the scapegoats figuratively removed sin from the house of Israel only for a year.Hebrews 9:6-146  this would be the services of the High Priest under that first Covenant going into the front part of the Temple.7  second = that's to say, into the “Holy of Holies”8   signifying = “deloo” to make clearway = literally “the way of the Holy” made manifest = “phaneroo” to render apparent. This word is taken from the Greek word “fan-er-os”, meaning shinning. The Greek word “fan-er-os” is taken from another Greek word, “fah-ee-no” which means “to lighten” or “shine”. This Greek word, “fah-ee-no” is taken from the Greek base word, “foce”, which mean to shine or make manifest.Have any questions? Feel free to email me keitner2024@outlook.com

Successi e fallimenti del più grande e temuto servizio segreto al mondo” – l'analista strategico Gianluca Ansalone (Docente di Geopolitica al Campus Biomedico di Roma-Università di Roma Tor Vergata) racconta la Guerra del Kippur. La Guerra dello Yom Kippur, quarta guerra arabo-israeliana, iniziata da Egitto e Siria il 6 ottobre 1973, nel giorno sacro ebraico dello Yom Kippur e durante il Ramadan, durò fino al 26 ottobre 1973. Il conflitto finì per coinvolgere sia gli Stati Uniti che l'Unione Sovietica in un confronto indiretto in difesa dei rispettivi alleati. Fu lanciata con l'obiettivo diplomatico di convincere un castigato – anche se ancora imbattuto – Israele a negoziare condizioni più favorevoli ai Paesi arabi. La precedente guerra arabo-israeliana, la Guerra dei Sei Giorni (1967), in cui Israele aveva conquistato e occupato territori arabi tra cui la Penisola del Sinai e le Alture del Golan, era stata seguita da anni di scontri sporadici. Anwar Sadat, divenuto presidente dell'Egitto poco dopo la fine della Guerra di logoramento (1969-70), fece delle proposte per raggiungere un accordo pacifico se, in conformità con la Risoluzione 242 delle Nazioni Unite, Israele avesse restituito i territori conquistati. Israele rifiutò queste condizioni e gli scontri si trasformarono in una guerra su larga scala nel 1973. Nel pomeriggio del 6 ottobre Egitto e Siria attaccarono Israele contemporaneamente su due fronti. Con l'elemento sorpresa a loro vantaggio, le forze egiziane riuscirono ad attraversare il Canale di Suez con maggiore facilità del previsto, subendo solo una frazione delle perdite previste, mentre le forze siriane furono in grado di lanciare la loro offensiva contro le posizioni israeliane e di sfondare sulle alture del Golan. L'intensità degli assalti egiziani e siriani, così diversa dalla situazione del 1967, iniziò rapidamente a esaurire le scorte di munizioni di riserva di Israele. Il primo ministro israeliano Golda Meir si rivolse agli Stati Uniti per chiedere aiuto, mentre lo stato maggiore israeliano improvvisava frettolosamente una strategia di battaglia. La riluttanza degli Stati Uniti ad aiutare Israele cambiò rapidamente quando l'Unione Sovietica iniziò il proprio sforzo di rifornimento a Egitto e Siria. Il Presidente degli Stati Uniti Richard Nixon si oppose istituendo una linea di rifornimento d'emergenza per Israele, anche se i Paesi arabi imposero un costoso embargo petrolifero e diversi alleati degli Stati Uniti si rifiutarono di facilitare le spedizioni di armi. Con i rinforzi in arrivo, le Forze di Difesa Israeliane ribaltarono rapidamente la situazione. Israele riuscì a disattivare parte delle difese aeree egiziane, consentendo alle forze israeliane comandate dal generale Ariel Sharon di attraversare il Canale di Suez e circondare la Terza Armata egiziana. Sul fronte del Golan, le truppe israeliane, a caro prezzo, respinsero i siriani e avanzarono fino al limite dell'altopiano del Golan sulla strada per Damasco. Il 22 ottobre il Consiglio di Sicurezza delle Nazioni Unite adottò la risoluzione 338, che chiedeva la fine immediata dei combattimenti; nonostante ciò, le ostilità continuarono per diversi giorni, spingendo le Nazioni Unite a reiterare l'appello al cessate il fuoco con le risoluzioni 339 e 340. Con la crescente pressione internazionale, la guerra cessò finalmente il 26 ottobre. Israele firmò un accordo formale di cessate il fuoco con l'Egitto l'11 novembre e con la Siria il 31 maggio 1974.

Seconda parte del nuovo appuntamento con i live della Fondazione Corriere della Sera, registrato il 27 ottobre in Sala Buzzati a Milano: il reading in cui vengono ricostruiti alcuni eventi del passato particolarmente significativi, attraverso gli articoli pubblicati all'epoca sul nostro quotidiano, il ricordo dei testimoni diretti e l'analisi dei nostri inviati e commentatori. In questo caso come Guido Olimpio, che racconta chi erano gli attentatori palestinesi di "Settembre nero" ai Giochi olimpici di Monaco del 1972.Per altri approfondimenti:Così l'incursione di Israele a Gaza avanza lungo i tre cerchiLe ricchezze della "cupola" di Hamas: «All'estero in grattacieli di lusso»Paolo Mieli racconta in 100 secondi la guerra del Kippur

SPECIAL REPORT: Hamas surprised Israel with an attack early Saturday, October 7. As of this recording, more than 300 Israelis are dead with another 1,600 hurt. It's the worst military setback in Israel since the Yom Kippur War exactly 50 years ago.Filmmaker, author, and prophecy scholar L. A. Marzulli (lamarzulli.net) joins us to discuss the biblical significance of this new conflict, the latest chapter in the long history of war over the land that God claimed as His own more than 3,400 years ago.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4656375/advertisement

It is truly stunning how easily the public can be fragmented over complex geopolitical issues. While the political left puts Ukrainian flags all over their cars and social media accounts, the political right, which largely mocked the latter, are now doing this same with Israeli flags. The irony is that it is highly unlikely anyone doing this has anything but a black and white view, driven by emotion and fallacy, about these complex issues. The "I Stand With" statements and accompanying flags make them feel morally superior and like intellectuals about issues professional historians don't fully grasp. Anyway, who would want to fly an American flag? As Ukraine has turned out to be a money laundering operation, among other things like a proxy war for U.S. foreign interests - and arguments over Nazis and Jews - it is par for the course that the same exact same debate is being had about Israel, yet another proxy in the Middle East for those same interests. Just as 9/11 resulted in Israel drawing the U.S. into its conflicts, so the attacks on Israel over the weekend will now do the same thing, while demanding more foreign aid right in time for both a Presidential election and the vacant speaker of the house seat. It also allows Israel to unify its fractured state - stop protests - and find cohesion in war. If God works in mysterious ways, the Devil just acts blatantly out in the open. So do occultists and underlying occult themes. The war in Ukraine is a perfect example of an occult war but the recent attacks on Israel fit the same mold: 50 years to the date of the 1973 October war called Yom Kippur, between Arabs and Israel; this week also marks Friday the 13th, and a rare 'ring of fire' solar eclipse on Saturday, the day of rest and day of Saturn, for which we get the Star of Saturn.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5328407/advertisement

Non è la replica del 1973. Israele è in guerra e l'attacco l'ha colta di sorpresa, in un periodo di festività ebraiche: proprio come all'esplodere del conflitto del Kippur. Ma le analogie con le vicende dell'epoca sono ben poche. E per i mercati dell'energia in particolare si sta delineando un copione diverso, in cui non sembra esserci spazio per un nuovo embargo petrolifero, simile a quello decretato cinquant anni fa dai produttori arabi. Ma se ritorsioni di quella portata appaiono alquanto improbabili, questo non significa che l'orizzonte sia sgombro da rischi. Tutt'altro. Ospite: Sissi Bellomo, Il Sole 24 Ore.L'inflazione cala ma la percezione dei consumatori è un'altraIl tasso di inflazione percepito dai consumatori italiani è molto più alto di quello reale, e balza all'11,2%, rispetto a un indice di aumento dei prezzi rilevato dall'Istat a settembre che si è fermato al 5,3 per cento. La percezione più forte dei rincari, rispetto a un anno fa, riguarda gli alimentari (14,2%), le spese legate alla casa (15,6%), i trasporti (14,4%). È quanto emerge dall'indagine condotta da Noto Sondaggi per Il Sole 24 Ore del Lunedì, fra il 4 e il 6 ottobre. A pesare di più, nella percezione aumentata del caro vita, sono le bollette e il carrello della spesa.Ne parliamo con Antonio Noto, Direttore di Noto Sondaggi.

In this sermon, I speak about our brokenness and how, despite it, we can create.

The purpose of Yom Kippur was to resolve a problemIsrael was the community of God's people living in a world of impurities– some impurities resulted from contact with natural sources (not sinful)• others resulted from violations of God's religious and social laws• these impurities affected the entire community, even God's sanctuary and its furnishings– every year, atonement was made for the people and the sacred tent• Kippur, is usually translated as “atonement” and means “cover”◦ the lid of the Ark of the Covenant is called a covering (same word)• on Yom Kippur the priests purified God's dwelling and his people by covering their sins◦ the people and sanctuary were covered for the past year

People certainly do have opinions about "You People," the interracial, interfaith Netflix romcom scripted by Kenya Barris and Jonah Hill. But we're putting reviews on hold (tune in next week!) to go behind the scenes with Todd Shotz, the Jewish consultant on this controversial production.He's also a film producer and founder of the b'nai mitzvah prep company Hebrew Helpers. How did Todd land this gig? How did he advise the producers on creating the big Yom Kippur scene from the beginning of the movie? And why is there a Yiddish consultant in the credits, but no Yiddish scene in the movie?This episode of The Bagel Report is sponsored by the Jewish Film Institute, whose WinterFest event is coming up Feb. 25-26 at the Vogue Theater in San Francisco.Connect with us on socials!Twitter: @estherk, @ebenmoche and @TheBagelReportInstagram: @estherkustanowitz, @ebenmoche and @tbrthepod Email us at: thebagelreport@gmail.comOther links for this episode:Background Bagels — our episode last year recapping our days as background actorsHebrew HelpersRecipe for ChangeThe Grotto (film)Lazy Eye (film)Latter Day Jew (film)Kevin Misher (You People producer)

Dan Libenson and Lex Rofeberg, in two recent conversations with Ron Wolfson and Rachel Gildiner, explored what it meant for Judaism to be "relational." In this follow-up episode, they map that question, of what it means for Judaism to be relational, onto digital Jewish experiences in particular. They reflect on recent Judaism Unbound developments, including Yom Kippur and Hakhel, in considering what it would like for digital gatherings to center relationships -- and not just programming.Register now to take one of our amazing Fall courses in the UnYeshiva -- the deadline is just a few days away!

Dan Libenson and Lex Rofeberg are here to say that Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are solid -- as warm-up holidays. In this episode they look ahead to the festival of Sukkot, which comes after the two observances we call "The High Holidays," but historically may have been the biggest festival of them all! They ask why Sukkot, despite its initial glory, became a second-tier holiday over time -- and they consider whether, in our own time, there may be good reason to re-elevate it.To access full shownotes for this episode, click here.
