Classes on Rambam, divided according to the daily schedule.

The Mishneh Torah was the Rambam's (Rabbi Moses ben Maimon) magnum opus, a work spanning hundreds of chapters and describing all of the laws mentioned in the Torah. To this day it is the only work that details all of Jewish observance, including those laws which are only applicable when the Holy Temple is in place. Participating in one of the annual study cycles of these laws (3 chapters/day, 1 chapter/day, or Sefer Hamitzvot) is a way we can play a small but essential part in rebuilding the final Temple.

In this episode, Dan Kennedy sits down with attorney and entrepreneur Larry Pino to cover what business owners need to know before approaching investors, lenders, or even family and friends. Larry breaks down the practical and legal realities of capital raising: The difference between 506b and 506c offerings, when crowdfunding makes sense, and how to structure your pitch to be taken seriously. Whether you're raising your first round or closing your next deal, this conversation delivers the strategic moves that separate funded founders from wishful thinkers.

Lily Moric steps in to host the show this week, and she's joined by Expert attorney and founder of the NCOSE Law Center, Benjamin Bull. They discuss legal strategies to combat the harms of pornography. In particular, Ben explores obscenity laws and what it would look like to enforce them in 2026. Under obscenity laws, much of Internet pornography would likely not be protected under the First Amendment and could be prosecuted. Enforcement of these laws has faded, but Benjamin Bull remains hopeful that it could be a winning strategy.  Join us in advocating for these and other solutions to loosen pornography's vice grip on society!   -Ask the DOJ to enforce obscenity laws: https://advocacy.charityengine.net/Default.aspx?isid=2736  -Call for age verification legislation, which would require pornography companies to keep children off their sites: https://advocacy.charityengine.net/Default.aspx?isid=2684  -Ask your Representatives to pass the App Store Accountability Act, which would mitigate child exposure to pornography through apps: https://advocacy.charityengine.net/Default.aspx?isid=2426&aev_link=1

Most leaders live on autopilot and hope things work out. In this solo episode, Bob unpacks five "quiet laws" that high‑impact, generous leaders live by, often without even realizing it. When you infuse these laws with generosity, you create compounding wins: stronger teams, better systems, and a culture where people feel capable, trusted, and excited to contribute.​ Bob shares stories from his financial planning days, where mastering technical knowledge wasn't enough until he learned to own results, share what he knew, and build relationships through generous action. He then walks through Gilbert's, Falkland's, Wilson's, Kidlin's, and Murphy's Laws and reframes each as a practical tool for building a generous workplace culture that can handle mistakes, grow through challenges, and avoid burnout.​ Throughout the episode, Bob challenges you to shift from self‑protective leadership to generous leadership: owning outcomes, timing your generosity, focusing on mastery over money, giving radical clarity, and building systems that absorb chaos rather than fear it. *Enroll in the "Feeling Generous" Email course

As headlines stir anxiety about the possibility of global conflict, Fr. Matthew Tomeny,MIC, turns our attention to a war already raging — one that has claimed more innocentlives than any battlefield in history. While nations prepare for external enemies, theChurch is called to confront a deeper crisis: the systematic destruction ofhuman life in the womb.Scripture teaches that peace is never merely political. It is moral and spiritual, what St.Augustine called the “tranquility of order.” When life is no longer received as a gift,society drifts into darkness. Jesus warns us plainly that without Him, humanity remainslost, but with Him we find “the way, the truth, and the life” (Jn 14:6; NABRE). TheCatechism affirms that human life must be respected and protected absolutely from themoment of conception (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2270). This is not optionalteaching; it is foundational.Father Matthew explains that even where legal victories have been achieved, thedeeper battle continues in hearts and in culture. Laws alone cannot restore what hasbeen lost. A culture of life requires conversion, sacrifice, and reparation. Saint Faustinaunderstood this when she offered suffering for grave sins against life, appealing to theDivine Mercy to hold back judgment and bring repentance. Her Diary reveals that nosin, however grave, is greater than God's mercy when hearts turn back to Him (Diary ofSaint Maria Faustina Kowalska, 699).The call of the faithful is to pray, especially on days set aside by the bishops, for theprotection of unborn children. True peace will not come through fear or force, butthrough surrender — through trust in the mercy of God and a renewed commitment tochastity, responsibility, and reverence for life.Christ desires life, not death. When the Church proclaims this truth without compromise,she becomes a sign of hope in a world searching for peace.To deepen your understanding of Divine Mercy and reparation for sin, explore the Diaryof St. Faustina available at ShopMercy.org. ★ Support this podcast ★

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Does Donald Trump have the legal authority to denaturalize citizens for committing fraud? And what about members of Congress? Do they have the legal authority to simply walk into a detention center under the auspices of “oversight”? What about states passing laws to enforce Title IX's prohibition on discrimination based on sex?...

Across the world, our legal systems are crumbling, the rule of sane law dismantled in real time. Yet at the same time, rivers, mountains, bees are being granted legal rights in ways that would have been thought impossible even a few years ago.  And in boardrooms around the planet, C-suites and businesses are increasingly looking to the natural world for guidance on how to be in ways that heal the web of life. So how do we make this work? How do we ensure that it's not just another layer of corporate greenwash? Our guest this week, Alexandra Pimor is Director of the Nature Governance Agency (NGA) within the Earth Law Center. Increasingly, she is acting as a proxy for the Voice of Nature in corporations and organisations, in professional practice, project management and organisational cultural evolution. For many years a legal scholar and academic, her practice, studies and research are anchored in a quantum-based ecology of law paradigm, espousing a critical, reflective and multidisciplinary approach. She has a deep passion for people and planet, and, as you'll hear, she now sees it as her mission to promote the facilitation of conscious governance and leadership, at individual, collective and organisational levels, to advance the emergence of an anthropo-eco-logical system of harmonious living. In our conversation, she lays out what it means to take Death - and Life - as our Witness; to evolve a Sacred No and a Sacred Yes; to speak as the web of life, not for it or to it. She walks the fine line between Two-Eyed Seeing - from a Western, Trauma Culture viewpoint as well as from the perspective of an Indigenous, Initiation Culture - and we explore how boardrooms can see ripples of change as we strive to turn the bus that is humanity away from the cliff edge of the 6th mass extinction. Earth Law center's NGAOnboarding Nature Toolkit ( developed in partnership between ELC, B Lab Benelux and Nyenrode Business University)Bio-leadership fellowship (a mycelium of regenerative and curious change makers)Thinking like Gaia cards (Ally invites these cards into board conversations when the time, space and dynamics are right)https://www.linkedin.com/in/apimor/ (Ally on LinkedIn) Article on Solidarity within the EU in 'The Conversation' https://theconversation.com/solidarity-was-a-founding-principle-of-european-unity-it-must-remain-so-74580If you'd like to support us, come along and join the Accidental Gods Membership.

For me the most illuminating insight into what these laws are actually designed to do came up in an ABC interview with Attorney-General Michelle Rowland on Tuesday. Over and over again throughout the interview Rowland was asked by ABC's David Speers to clarify whether the new laws could see activist groups banned for criticizing Israel and opposing its genocidal atrocities in a way that causes Jewish Australians to feel upset feelings, and she refused to rule out the possibility every single time.

Should we be sympathetic towards manipulators? In episode 157 of Overthink, Ellie and David talk about manipulation. They discuss what makes up a manipulative personality, why manipulators see social interaction as inherently combative, and what you can do when you find yourself entangled with a manipulator. They also explore what Niccolo Machiavelli tell us about the role of manipulation in politics. Should political leaders always be kind? Or, as Machiavelli says, do they need to learn to “be bad”? And what can we say about manipulation outside of politics? Does manipulative behavior require awareness and intention? Are all forms of manipulation inherently bad? And where do we draw the line between manipulation and other types of social influence? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts discuss how manipulators perform on the ultimatum game and whether philosophy is the only form of non-manipulative discourse.Works discussed:Anne Barnhill, “How philosophy might contribute to the practical ethics of online manipulation”Robert Greene, 48 Laws of PowerNiccolo Machiavelli, The PrinceGeorge Simon, In Sheep's Clothing: Understanding and Dealing with Manipulative PeopleEnjoy our work?

The Department of Justice has opened a civil rights investigation into a protest that disrupted a church service in St. Paul on Sunday.Dozens of protesters entered Cities Church. One of the church's pastors, David Easterwood, leads the St. Paul ICE field office. Leading the protest was civil rights lawyer and prominent local activist Nekima Levy Armstrong. The Department of Justice said it is looking at violations of what's called the FACE Act. It's also looking to at the possibility of charging journalist Don Lemon, who was reporting on the protest, with the KKK Act. MPR News host Nina Moini spoke with Jane Kirtley, a professor of media ethics and law at the University of Minnesota, to explain these two federal laws.

There's a difference between being helpful and being promoted. If you're not being evaluated for leadership, you're being used for stability. If you want help making a value shift in your specific situation, apply for a strategy call here: https://m.masteryinsights.com/application What is the Economic Value of Perception? The Economic Value of Perception is a governing principle that dictates how an individual's professional contributions are classified by organizational leadership. Value classifications are divided into two distinct categories: "Relief" (support staff function) and "Direction" (leadership function). This mechanism determines whether a professional is evaluated for their execution and helpfulness or their capacity for enterprise consequence ownership and strategic decision-making. Key Concepts Ambiguity Ownership: The capacity to "metabolize" unknowns and carry the weight of uncertain consequences, effectively reducing the cognitive load of senior leadership rather than escalating it. Exposure Language: A shift in language focused on identifying and reducing organizational risks including trade-offs, costs of inaction, and potential surprises instead of reporting on task completion or personal productivity. Signal-to-Noise Ratio: The ratio of clarity and certainty to drama, reactivity, and unnecessary detail to bring clarity and certainty to a volatile environment without the "drama" of reactive, sympathetic nervous system responses. Law of Assigned Function: The organizational reality where leaders first assign a specific function (Support vs. Leadership) and subsequently observe all behavior through that specific lens.

HEADLINE: The Empire Style: Colonial Influence and the End of Sumptuary Laws GUEST AUTHOR: Anne HigonnetSUMMARY: During the Directory, Teresia and Rose dominated Parisian society, where Rose eventually captivated a young Napoleon Bonaparte. Higonnet explains that their signature "chemise" dress was a fusion of Teresia's prison shift and the simple white muslins Rose knew from the Caribbean, inspired by the dress of women of color in Martinique. This style, while mimicking Neoclassicism, relied on colonial Indian cottons.
