Throughout the 20th century, especially during and immediately after WWII, New York Jews changed their names at rates considerably higher than any other ethnic group. Representative of the insidious nature of American anti-Semitism, recognizably Jewish names were often barriers for entry into college, employment, and professional advancement. College and job application forms were intentionally used as a means to “control” the Jewish population in a given college or institution. As such, many Jewish families legally changed their names in an effort to thwart pervasive anti-Semitism and discrimination. In A Rosenberg by Any Other Name: A History of Jewish Name Changing in America (New York University Press, 2018), Kirsten Fermaglich nuances the misconceptions and common assumptions made about name-changers and engages in a rich and meticulously researched study examining this trend. Kirsten Fermaglich is Associate Professor of History and Jewish Studies at Michigan State University. Lindsey Jackson is a PhD student at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada.

On the show this week we reflect on England's highest ever run chase in the Test Cricket win over India, that keeps the Bazball success rolling, and we look back on defeats for England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in the first test matches in their Southern Hemisphere rugby tours. In Wimbledon news we celebrate Cameron Norrie making the men's semi-finals, as well as running the rule over the other predictions from last week's guest, tennis coach Justin Cook (spoiler alert – he's done pretty well!). We also look forward to the Women's Football European Championships that kick off this week with England and Northern Ireland both in action. This week our guest is from the world of Pilates and Yoga. Lindsey Jackson tells us about her early days teaching what was then a new phenomenon, to how Pilates has become so widely understood and recognised today. She also outlines how she uses NLP to not only enhance her teaching, but also support the mental approach of the sportspeople she works with.

In this episode of 1-800-REL-HELP our expert, Lindsey Jackson, examines ritual, its definitions, and examples of rituals. Jackson and the caller unpack the meaning of ritual actions and what these rituals do to maintain dominate discourses. Do you have questions about religion? Need answers about religious studies? Call 1-800-REL-HELP. If you've got doubts, give us a shout!

Keeping It Real LIVE with Frank Klesitz of Vyral Marketing, Greg Harrelson of C21 The Harrelson Group, and Lindsey Jackson of Real Geeks examined Facebook lead-generation ads and what makes each work! “I went through the top 100 real estate agents,” Klesitz reported, “looked at what they were running and took note of themes.” In doing so he was able to see a clear picture of what works and doesn't work in today's market. Accessing the Facebook Ads Library as a tool is a game changer. It can be accessed at: https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/ This episode details current ads, targeting methods, and landing pages that are generating leads right now, and explains why they worked so well. ROI and actual cost per lead type are discussed, allowing agents to have the info they need to plan and run successful Facebook marketing campaigns.  Discussing ways to retarget audiences, Harrelson also explained the basics of the advertising he runs. “For the best conversion,” he said, “I've been running seller leads ads. Harrelson does this by creating specialty community Facebook pages, rather than using the main company page. Jackson explained that ads can be very market dependent and that it's best to have 20K people in each audience, if possible. She also shared that more expensive homes meant more expensive ads in most cases, due to increased competition. Harrelson agreed about the competition and the need to adapt advertising to the market. He urged agents to not be complacent and said that even he didn't have “magic ads,” which means his team is always testing to see what works best in a given market. Harrelson suggested paying attention and accumulating an audience of people who didn't fill in the form (known in retail as  cart abandonment) to retarget. Generally speaking the group agreed that it was better to have the lead taken to a lead capture page with a sign up form rather than a general  website page. Jackson shared that funneling leads in through a property detail page where a lead signs in through a Facebook login, results in a highly effective campaign, “especially when you're on your phone,” she said. These ads create a pattern which has the lead returning to the site on a daily basis. When A/B testing, Jackson said that the aggressiveness of the copy is a key area for testing. Klesitz introduced the idea of dynamic creative, where the ad or ad image is chosen based on performance. Jackson said ad fatigue is real and that you have to constantly be testing new ideas for ads. Homes with pools work really well, she explained, “but just make sure that it matches.” For instance, if you're advertising pool homes, don't share a picture with snow, show a home with a pool. Klesitz shared his view on the 4 tiers of advertising.    Tier 1 - Uploading existing past clients and databases and using a pixel to retarget your warm audiences. Harrelson uses ExactDial to find out client contact information. Klesitz suggests a budget of $5/day and unique messaging since they've had contact already. Tier 2 - Send to Facebook cold audiences all throughout the city, within the restrictions Facebook places on housing ads. Tier 3 - The Greg Harrelson level which targets a cold audience in a specific community.  Tier 4 - Next is cold leads. This is radius based (15 miles), age and gender are set to broad. Look at interests that are in the home owning process. “Broad is better,” explained Klezitz and Jackson. The algorithm creates the audience based on look-alikes. “In smaller towns you can get away with a small audience,“ said Jackson.   In discussing the metrics, Harrelson knew that it cost him $2.40 for each seller lead  in his custom audiences. “When you're capturing  seller leads online, you're capturing them very early in the funnel,” he said. Adding that most people give up too soon on seller leads because they are trying to speed the process too quickly. Using a non custom audience results in a high cost per lead, between $3.50-4 per lead. More competitive areas will have more expensive leads. Currently Jackson said the least expensive cost per lead is Florida and the most expensive is in San Clemente, California. Harrelson believes 1-3% is normal for agent ad conversion though his reporting shows that 14% is possibly convertible from all of the ads. Real Geeks clients can use the Facebook tool or reach out to RealLeads@RealGeeks.com to have advertising set up for you.  Klesitz shared his favorite 3 seller lead ad calls to action: Get a cash offer on your home, click here.  Or offer a seller workshop and ask: When was the last time you sold your home?  Find out what your home is worth? As the segment concluded, Harrelson reminded agents to take notes and choose one action to take and do consistently. He believes doing this each week could make a huge difference in an agent's production for 2021, even if the changes are small.

Though the current political climate might lead one to suspect that religion and medicine make for uncomfortable bedfellows, the two institutions have a long history of alliance. From religious healers and religious hospitals to religiously informed bioethics and research studies on the impact of religious and spiritual beliefs on physical and mental well-being, religion and medicine have encountered one another from antiquity through the present day. In Religion and Medicine: A History of the Encounter Between Humanity's Two Greatest Institutions (Oxford University Press, 2020), Dr. Jeff Levin outlines this longstanding history and the multifaceted interconnections between these two institutions. The first book to cover the full breadth of this subject, it documents religion-medicine alliances across religious traditions, throughout the world, and over the course of history. Levin summarizes a wide range of material in the most comprehensive introduction to this emerging field of scholarship to date. Jeff Levin holds a distinguished chair at Baylor University, where he is university professor of epidemiology and population health, professor of medical humanities, and director of the program on religion and population health at the Institute for the Studies of Religion.

From religious healers and religious hospitals to religiously informed bioethics and research studies on the impact of religious and spiritual beliefs on physical and mental well-being, religion and medicine have encountered one another from antiquity through the present day. In Religion and Medicine: A History of the Encounter Between Humanity's Two Greatest Institutions (Oxford University Press, 2020), Dr. Jeff Levin outlines this longstanding history and the multifaceted interconnections between these two institutions. The first book to cover the full breadth of this subject, it documents religion-medicine alliances across religious traditions, throughout the world, and over the course of history. Levin summarizes a wide range of material in the most comprehensive introduction to this emerging field of scholarship to date. Jeff Levin holds a distinguished chair at Baylor University, where he is university professor of epidemiology and population health, professor of medical humanities, and director of the program on religion and population health at the Institute for the Studies of Religion.

In Peace Love Yoga: The Politics of Global Spirituality (Oxford University Press, 2020), Andrea Jain examines the interconnectedness between global spirituality and neoliberal capitalism through an examination of the global yoga and self-care industries. Building off her work in Selling Yoga: From Counterculture to Pop Culture (Oxford University Press, 2014), Jain examines how spiritual industries and corporations impart neoliberal spirituality, which she contends is a central component of neoliberal capitalism. In broader terms, Jain’s examination of neoliberal spirituality, and yoga more specifically, provides a rich avenue to analyze and understand the role of religion in contemporary society.

Our 2019 Chairman's Bonus Qualifiers are interviewed following the virtual Global Rally event. Here are Mike Butterworth and Lindsey Jackson to tell their stories.

The myth of Jews killing Christian children emerged in 1144 CE, with the death of a boy named William in Norwich, England. Over the course of several centuries, this myth gained traction and became firmly rooted throughout medieval and early modern Europe. In Blood Libel: On the Trail of an Antisemitic Myth (Harvard University Press, 2020), Magda Teter traces the history of this myth and analyzes how accusations of ritual murder have followed Jews from the 12th century to the contemporary period. Magda Teter is Professor of History and Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies at Fordham University. Lindsey Jackson is a PhD student at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada.

Millions of tourists visit Holocaust museums and memorials every year. Holocaust tourism is a thriving industry and plays a crucial role in Holocaust memorialization and remembrance. However, Holocaust tourism is not without criticism. Some argue that sightseeing at sites of genocide is cringeworthy, offensive, inappropriate, and superficial. In Postcards from Auschwitz: Holocaust Tourism and the Meaning of Remembrance (NYU Press, 2018), Daniel Reynolds examines the phenomenon of Holocaust tourism, its implication on Holocaust remembrance, and what we can learn from tourists taking selfies at Auschwitz. Postcards from Auschwitz transports the reader to a variety of museums and memorial sites around the world to unpack the phenomenon of Holocaust tourism. Daniel Reynolds is Seth Richards Professor in Modern Languages in Department of German Studies at Grinnell College. Lindsey Jackson is a PhD student at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada.

Jewish women have consistently played a vital and significant role in American history more broadly, and American Jewish history specifically. Through a variety of different ways, from engaging in social activism, working outside the home, creating women's organizations, or managing their households, Jewish women forged their own path and inserted themselves in the fabric of American life and history. In her new book, America's Jewish Women: A History from Colonial Times to Today (W. W. Norton and Company, 2019), Pamela S. Nadell tells the stories of America's Jewish women, from the first Jewish women who arrived in the United States in 1654 to the very well-known Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and the many women in between. Nadell's study utilizes a variety of archival sources and oral histories to stitch together the rich history of America's Jewish women.

With rates of interfaith marriage steadily increasing since the middle of the twentieth century, interfaith families have become a permanent and significant feature of the religious landscape in the United States. In her recent book, Beyond Chrismukkah: The Christian-Jewish Interfaith Family in the United States (University of North Carolina Press, 2018), Samira Mehta analyzes the depiction of interfaith families across a wide array of popular media and examines how interfaith families negotiate and blend their religious traditions within a single family unit. Mehta also examines how cultural, ethnic, and racial diversity interact and impact the religious praxis of interfaith families. Lindsey Jackson is a PhD student at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada.
