On today's page, Chullin 126, the rabbis encounter a mystery buried in two words: golel and dofek. Solving it takes us from Rashi and Maimonides to the burial caves of ancient Israel and the great stones once rolled across their entrances. What can the Talmud teach us about the lost burial practices of our ancestors? Listen and find out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Generative Artificial Intelligence is now part of daily life—having leaped from science fiction to indispensable daily tool with alarming speed. But what does it mean for us a religious community and as thinking religious beings? If we don't figure that out before the robot overlords carry us off, we'll be all the poorer for it. That's why TRADITION was delighted to feature two intelligent and insightful contributions for our Spring 2026 issue—both investigating AI through the prism of Orthodox Jewish thought (what we do bets at our journal). Alex Harris' “Becoming One Like Us? Jewish Tradition and Artificial Intelligence” considers the ethical, theological, and anthropological implications of artificial intelligence as a proper subject of mahashava. Harris suggest that as advancements in AI approach the threshold of “artificial general intelligence,” longstanding assumptions about human uniqueness are increasingly called into question. In this episode of the Tradition Podcast, associate editor Chaim Strauchler meets with Marina Zilbergerts to discuss her article, “Algorithms, Zombies and Maimonides' God: A Jewish Theology of Consciousness for the Age of AI” (open access). Together they wonder what lessons can be drawn from AI's example of “intelligence without emotion” for how classical Jewish thinkers understand God? Zilbergerts offers a defense of emotion as a critical component of the Divine, using Rabbi Adin Steinzaltz and astronomer Carl Sagan to reframe Maimonides' position. The questions “Can AI have faith?” and “Why don't we expect it to?” prompt a discussion of social trends regarding deep reading, thinking, and faith that go beyond current technological trends. Has modern faith already become a little too rational? Zilbergerts also shares news on her upcoming book, Genesis in the Age of AI: A New Story of Consciousness (forthcoming from Routledge). Watch a video recording of this conversation. Dr. Marina Zilbergerts is a Visiting Professor in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Ottawa, and an advisor with the organization AI & Faith. Her Substack, “The Inner Light,” explores consciousness, Jewish thought, and the philosophical questions raised by AI. Chaim Strauchler, an associate editor of TRADITION, is rabbi of Cong. Rinat Yisrael in Teaneck. The post A Jewish Theology of Consciousness for the Age of AI appeared first on Tradition Online.

In this episode Jeff Shepard presents a theoretical, evidence-driven interpretation tying together the Noahide framework, Kabbalistic influence, and Donald Trump's political role as a potential forerunner to a centralized global authority centered on Jerusalem. Shepard traces the Noahide laws from their rabbinic codification in Tractate Sanhedrin 56a through Maimonides and cites historical sources (including the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia) on their enforcement provisions. He highlights Public Law 102-14 (1991) and subsequent presidential proclamations that recognize the seven Noahide laws as foundational to Western civilization and notes the public honors extended to Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. The episode surveys Chabad-Lubavitch as a primary institutional driver, explaining its Kabbalistic theology (Lurianic concepts such as tzimtzum, tikkun olam, and nitzotzot) and its global reach. Shepard connects those theological currents to Western esotericism and thinkers like Alice Bailey, arguing a continuity between mystical Kabbalah, Western occult streams, and plans for an externalized spiritual hierarchy. Focusing on Donald Trump, Shepard outlines documented links—public records, personal acknowledgments, and associates (Eitan Yerdeni, Jared Kushner's family ties, Michael Cohen's red string)—and discusses invitations from nascent Sanhedrin bodies and a proposed international court grounded in Noahide principles. He interprets these ties as part of a normalization process that could shift legal and geopolitical authority toward Jerusalem, including preparation for Third Temple developments (red heifers, reconstituted Sanhedrin). The core argument presents a three-layer architecture for what Shepard terms the BEAST system: Layer 1 (technological — neural interfaces, AI, CBDC-ready identification and surveillance networks), Layer 2 (financial and governance — central banking, CBDCs, regional governance models, Great Reset actors), and Layer 3 (legal-theological enforcement — Noahide law as a religious-legal mechanism to justify exclusion and capital enforcement). Shepard explains how these layers interlock to control commerce, monitor compliance, and supply theological justification for punitive measures. In the closing segment Shepard addresses responses for the Christian remnant: documenting institutions, building resilient off-grid communities, refusing coercion, and maintaining testimony in the face of potential legal classification of Christian confession as idolatry. He frames the analysis biblically (Daniel, Revelation, Isaiah) and calls listeners to study, test the evidence, and stand with faith. Episode details: host Jeff Shepard; topics include Noahide law history and enforcement, Public Law 102-14, Chabad-Lubavitch and Kabbalah, Alice Bailey and Western esotericism, Trump's documented connections and potential institutional role, the three-layer BEAST architecture (technological, financial, legal-theological), and practical spiritual and community responses.
