POPULARITY
Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Today is Day 123 of the war. Zman Yisrael editor Biranit Goren and education reporter Gavriel Fiske join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is due to fly to Egypt today as part of a Middle East crisis tour seeking a new truce and “an enduring end” to the Israel-Hamas war. However, a political campaign against any deal is getting huge pushback from within Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government. Opposition leader Yair Lapid reiterated his offer to enter the government to replace the ultranationalist wing to secure backing for a deal to free hostages still captive in Gaza. Goren explains why this isn't a realistic option for Netanyahu. At the same time, rumors of increasingly strained relations between the prime minister and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant are increasingly disturbing. Goren describes why. The Israel Defense Forces will hold an early recruitment round in March of some 1,300 Israelis currently enrolled in pre-army, yeshiva, and community service programs. A new grassroots protest movement of mostly mothers is speaking out against the lack of parity between the secular and religious conscripts being called up. Fiske tells us more. Out of some 360,000 reservists called up to the war by the IDF, an estimated 100,000 were enrolled in one of Israel's major universities — accounting for around 30 percent of all students enrolled for the current academic year. Now that many are released from service, how are they reintegrating? For the latest updates, please look at The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Live blog February 6, 2024 Netanyahu pressured on hostage deal, as Ben Gvir, Smotrich lash out at US IDF confirms 1,300 to be recruited early from pre-army programs Released IDF reservists head back to school, but not everything is a matter of course THOSE WE HAVE LOST: Civilians and soldiers killed in Hamas's onslaught on Israel THOSE WE ARE MISSING: The hostages and victims whose fate is still unknown Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

On this episode of Red Carpet, Nigerian batik artist Gasali Adeyemo takes us behind his work in the film “The Woman King,” and Maurice Kirya makes a strong comeback with his 6th studio album “The Road to Kirya”.
In deze aflevering praat Andrew via een videoverbinding met de Oegandese singer-songwriter Maurice Kirya. Een man met een bijzonder verhaal. Naast acteur en ondernemer is hij als muzikant al jaren een household name in het oosten van Afrika. De liefde bracht hem naar Nederland, waar hij tijdens de lockdown met een volledig Nederlandse band zijn nieuwe album opnam: 'The Road to Kirya'.
Social media fans could not help but express their disappointment in the cover graphics of Maurice Kirya's album - 'The Road to Kirya' which on the other hand, the artiste is very excited about.
Sarah finds it very unnecessary for Artist Maurice Kirya to talk about his separation and co-parenting situation over a year later, while Fatboy on the other hand believes that since the relationship was public, the breakup should be too.
Awareness of Bias and Systemic RacismIn this episode, herdacious host Lorelei chats with Kirya Francis about addressing bias and racism in the workplace. When we hear the words “bias” and “racism,” our minds often conjure up offensive scenarios reflective of other people's presumptions; however, the subtle separation of marginalized communities from higher-level organizational involvement all too frequently goes unaddressed. Kirya teaches us that despite the gaps placed between those in habitual positions of power and folks of color, we can begin to bridge the gap when we become more aware of our actions and correct our prejudices. From assessing our assumptions to advancing opportunities that are often deprived of others, Kirya helps us realize that fostering DEI practices in the workplace need not be a complete overhaul of institutional racism. We can start by asking a questions like "Would you like my seat?" Through this approach , we can slowly and surely chip away at the old-school walls that keep minorities from participating at the table.Host: Lorelei GonzalezCo-host: Kirya Francis, MSTCKirya Francis is the Chief Diversity Officer at Omnicom Advertising Collective, where she merges her passion for inclusive workplaces with her purpose to give a diverse talent pool an equitable chance at excelling in advertising. Kirya has earned three degrees from the University of Texas at Austin in Radio-TV-Film, Broadcast Journalism, as well as a master's degree from McCombs School of Business.Things you will learn in this episode (chapter markers available): Key terms 2:00Le bias 4:10Systemic racism 5:46 The good, the bad, and the ugly 9:55Racism vs. bias 12:55Cancel culture be gone! 15:55Anti-racism action items 21:23Femme fact: Girl groups 23:50Resources mentioned in this episode: #TalkAboutBias (website) White Privilege by Peggy McIntosh (short read)Caste by Isabel Wilkerson (book)Racist, Sexist Boy by The Linda Lindas (song)Episode sponsors: HERdacity Moonray Looking for additional resources on this topic?

Join us for our special Hands and Feet update, as we take a look at what the Lord has been doing through our church this past year, and look forward to new opportunities.Reaching the Unreached in Tanzania We have an opportunity to help bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the Massai people of Tanzania in a very practical way. Our goal is to help finish a fresh water well project in the Kirya region of Massai country, near Kilamanjaro, Tanzania. There is a newly planted church in Kirya and a pastor and his family now serves the people of this region. The well will change things radically for the Massai, as they now drink diseased water from a nearby river which causes the men, women, and children to suffer from many water-born diseases. Easily accessible and clean drinking water, drawn from church's property, will allow many opportunities for the gospel to change the lives of these precious people. Also, we have an opportunity to help purchase adjoining property for an expanded presence in that area that will include a secondary school where children will not only be educated, but also trained to work the land and given life skills. Our goal is to raise $2500 for the purchase of the land, and $5000 for the well.Reaching the Less Fortunate in East Tennessee Our annual Kids First Daycare/Stockings of Love outreach will help buy gifts and materials for needy families in the East Tennessee region. This year our ministry will include: families at the Knoxville Burundi Church, West Lonsdale Center of English; Briceville Elementary (107 students) and dozens of families in the mountains of Briceville. For more information on YWAM Knoxville, visit http://ywamknoxville.org. We will also provide gifts for needy families at the Kids First Daycare. Our goal is to raise $1000 for outreach to the daycare and surrounding area.Feed the Children: We are once again offering relief to children and families in very poor areas of Kenya and Philippines that have been devastated by lack of food and income because of COVID-19 restrictions in those countries. We are working with Victoria Watoto Fund (Alloyce Leonard) and Just Rice Pastor (James Tica) who have been serving these families since the beginning of the pandemic. Your gift will help sustain these families during this prolonged difficult time. Our goal is to raise $1500 for this ministry.Goal for the Well Project: $5000Goal for the Land Purchase Project: $2500Goal for Stockings of Love and Daycare: $1000Goal for Feed the Children $1500Total Hands & Feet Offering Goal: $10,000We have been so blessed and we want to raise our level of giving to missions as well, so TCC will match everything given to this offeringSermon preached on November 29, 2020We are Trinity Community Church, located in Knoxville, Tennessee.Please fill out a digital connect card so we can serve and pray for you.

Kirya's childhood home was haunted by two elusive ghosts - the fleeting presences of her grandfathers, neither of whom she knew much about. When she discovers an old audio cassette recording of herself making up songs and stories about the world she thought she understood, she decides it's time to seek out some real answers. "Here's to missed beginnings, and things that never start - for these are the ghosts that run around in my heart. When I see that where I'm going isn't where I want to be, I get the urge to call you up, and see if you would come and meet me." - Slaid Cleaves Learn more about your ad choices.
