  A Visit to the Gaza BorderThis past June, Liel took Alan, Matt, Calev and Mike to the sites that were devastated by the October 7th invasion. As a licensed tour guide, Liel wanted to share insights with her colleagues about what happened in the “Gaza Envelope” on, and since, that day. As they went from location to location, they recorded Liel speaking, as well as some of their thoughts and observations along the way. On the one year anniversary of October 7th, we thought it would be meaningful to share the experience with our listeners. Liel, Mike and Calev sat with our engineer Ben in his studio, to choose what to include in this episode. We also added narration to explain and contextualize each of the clips. While we were doing that, we also reflected on our thoughts since the visit, and about this difficult year in general. For those interested to see what we saw, here is a link to our shared photo album of the visit. Wishing you, our listeners, and all of our Nation a year of peace, healing and renewal.Shana tova. Am Yisrael Chai!

  Is Israel Handling its Problems? Everyone agrees that Israel is beset with problems. Some of them can be managed, and many of them must be solved for Israel to survive and have a healthy future. Is there a danger of reaching a tipping point where Israel has too many problems to succeed? Is whatever is right about Israel in danger of being destroyed by what's wrong with it? Or is whatever is wrong with Israel going to be fixed by what's right with it? Liel hosts this debate with Matt taking the position that our problems are out of control, and Calev arguing that we have reason to be optimistic. Am Yisrael Chai!

Are We in the 1920s or 1930s? It is always interesting and helpful to learn from history. And so it's very natural to look to our recent past to find parallels to our current era. With the astonishing global rise of antisemitism many are looking at the previous century and seeing troubling signs for our future. But what part of 20th Century is the clearest precedent? In between the two World Wars, antisemitism rose and shook Jewish security in the Western world. Are we at an early stage like the 20s? Or in a later danger zone like the 30s? Are the analogies even accurate at all? Liel hosts this debate with Alan taking the position that our time is more similar to the 1920s, and Matt arguing that it is like the 1930s. Am Yisrael Chai!

414 Hostages in the MediaThis is a painful topic. How should images of the hostages be handled by the media? What is informative and what is exploitive? And in terms of viewing, what is the line between being informed and harming self health? May better days arrive soon, and discussions like this no longer be relevant. Calev hosts this episode with Alan and Liel and Matt discussing the issues. Am Yisrael Chai!

409 Is Judicial Reform Dead? It feels like a million years ago that Israel was debating the government plan for judicial reforms. In the traumatic aftermath of October 7th, all of that fight has been left behind. But is that a permanent or a temporary shift? Once the dust settles after the defeat of Hamas, (God willing) will we once again be plunged into the divisive political battle over checks and balances in Israel? Mike hosts this episode's debate, where Matt takes the position that it's still in play, and Benji argues that it's all in the rear view mirror. . Am Yisrael Chai!

408 Is it Time for Elections? “... It [is] not best to swap horses when crossing streams”, said Abraham Lincoln when running for reelection during the American Civil War. How well does that argument apply to Israel today?Polls show that Israelis have low confidence in the current government. This is a dangerous situation in a time of multiple major conflicts. But it is also dangerous to create a new election season in such a situation as well. Which is the greater danger? Should we push for elections as soon as possible, or wait till the war(s) settles down? Calev hosts this episode's debate, where Matt takes the position that it's time to hold elections, and Alan argues we should wait till the war is over. Am Yisrael Chai!

This is part two of a two-part episode with Matthew where he shares invaluable advice on setting realistic expectations and the significance of delayed gratification in real estate investment. He emphasizes the importance of strategic planning and financial prudence, particularly for young investors aiming to make their mark in the industry. The conversation covers practical strategies such as house hacking, where buying a duplex or triplex and living in one unit while renting out the others can significantly aid in equity building and reduce living expenses.   This episode also delves into the financial nuances of real estate, including the benefits of not selling properties but rather refinancing to pull out equity, and the tax implications of different investment strategies. For those considering major financial decisions in real estate, this episode offers a roadmap to navigate the complexities of property investment, tax benefits, and strategic financial planning to maximize growth and minimize risks.   What you will learn if you listen to the episode: - Setting realistic goals in real estate investment - Benefits of delayed gratification and strategic planning - House hacking as a starter strategy for new investors - Refinancing properties to build equity without selling - Understanding tax implications and benefits for property investments   SUPPORT US ON PATREON!    patreon.com/realestateeffect and become a part of our real estate family!

This is part one of a two-part episode where I interview Matthew Lipman about the essential, often complex world of accounting in real estate. The conversation opens up with insights on how many real estate professionals often put accounting tasks on the back burner until absolutely necessary, and the potential pitfalls of this approach. Matthew, who has extensive experience in the accounting industry including a significant stint at Deloitte, shares his journey into creating his own firm, MogulCPA, which specializes in offering streamlined accounting services for real estate businesses.   The discussion delves into the concept of "virtual CFO services," a niche Matthew has carved out to help real estate developers and managers handle comprehensive financial operations without needing in-house accountants. This service covers everything from payroll to reconciliations and financial reporting, aiming to alleviate the burdens of accounting from the clients. Matthew emphasizes the importance of proactive accounting practices that do more than just prepare tax returns at the end of the year, suggesting that effective accounting can significantly enhance the strategic management and growth of a real estate business.   The episode promises more insights in its second part, encouraging listeners to tune back in for further exploration of smart accounting in real estate investment.   What you will learn if you listen to the episode: - The importance of not delaying accounting tasks in real estate - Matthew Lipman's background and transition to founding MogulCPA - Overview of virtual CFO services for real estate businesses - Benefits of proactive accounting for strategic business management - Preview of continued discussion on accounting in part two of the podcast   SUPPORT US ON PATREON!    patreon.com/realestateeffect and become a part of our real estate family!

404 - How will this war be seen by history?Israel has fought Hamas in Gaza over and over again. There was Operation Cast Lead in 2008, Operation Pillar of Defense in 2012, and Operation Protective Edge in 2014 just to name a few. Thousands of rockets have been launched at civilian areas of Israel and Israel has counter attacked over and over again. Will the current war, Operation Swords of Iron be just another battle in this long running war? Or will this war be remembered as a moment of change in Israel and the region? Matt hosts this episode's debate, where Alan takes the position that this is a major turning point in Israeli History, and Calev argues that this will be another round in our long battles with Hamas. Am Yisrael Chai!

401 - Proportionality and International Humanitarian Law (IHL)After defining proportionality (enjoy the audio clip from the West Wing) there is so much to debate about the ethical conduct of the current war. While it is difficult for citizens to debate these issues with limited information, it is arguably their duty to do so. Is Israel correctly protecting civilian life in Gaza? Should it be sending in more humanitarian aid? How much should international opinion be taken into account? Calev hosts this episode's debate, where Matt takes the position that Israel must improve its conduct in the conflict, and Mike argues that it does not. (followed by another West Wing clip)Am Yisrael Chai!

Depuis au moins la fin du XIXe siècle, les sociologues, à commencer par le Français Gustave Le Bon, ont constaté que le comportement d'individus regroupés dans une foule avait tendance à se modifier.Un changement d'attitude souvent perçu de manière négative. On remarque en effet que des hommes perdus dans une foule peuvent se laisser aller à des sentiments, de haine ou d'exaltation, qu'ils n'auraient pas forcément éprouvés en tant qu'individus.Mais une théorie inverse, popularisée notamment par le journaliste américain James Surowiecki plaide en faveur de la "sagesse des foules", titre d'un livre qu'il a fait paraître en 2004. Elle a aussi inspiré une pratique éducative initiée par le philosophe et pédagogue américain Matthew Lipman, qui cherche à développer la réflexion des enfants par des discussions collectives.D'après ce postulat, une foule serait mieux à même de résoudre un problème que tout individu pris isolément. Cette supposée meilleure capacité de prédiction de la foule est déjà connue des experts des marchés prédictifs ainsi que des milieux hippiques.Dans certaines conditions, en effet, les pronostics réalisés par l'ensemble des parieurs s'avéreraient assez exacts. De même, le classement des pages web par les moteurs de recherche se fonde sur le succès rencontré par chacune d'entre elles. Autrement dit, ces moteurs de recherche font confiance au jugement collectif des internautes, qui s'avèrerait le plus souvent pertinent.Par ailleurs, James Surowiecki cite certaines observations faites, au début du XXe siècle, par le statisticien anglais Francis Galton. Il avait notamment remarqué qu'une foule avait été capable de deviner, avec une plus grande précision qu'un expert, le poids d'un bœuf.Mais cette "sagesse des foules" ne pourrait se manifester, selon cet auteur, que si certaines conditions sont réunies. En effet, une foule ne sera plus perspicace qu'un individu que si elle est composée de personnes venant de milieux sociaux divers.Par ailleurs, les avis exprimés doivent l'être en toute indépendance.

Are Shoah Analogies Appropriate?We are all living with the trauma of the post October 7th world. It is often referred to as the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. But do comparisons to the Shoah help us contextualize and understand the world we live in? Or are any such comparisons not at best unhelpful, and at worst inappropriate? Can those analogies help us understand the victims? The perpetrators? Calev hosts this episode's debate, where Matt takes the position that Shoah analogies are helpful, and Alan argues that it isn't, and never was, a good idea they are not. Am Yisrael Chai!

Should Israel Fight Hezbollah?While most of our attention is on the war in Gaza, there has been constant combat on our northern border. Will the battle with Hezbollah heat up to a full scale war? Should it? While war is always horrible, should Israel extend the conflict and eliminate Hezbollah as it has pledged to do to Hamas? Matt hosts this episode's debate, where Calev takes the position that Israel should resist preemptive attacks, and Mike argues that Israel must do just that. Am Yisrael Chai!

How did we get here?In this gripping podcast episode, Calev, Alan, and Matt delve into the intricate factors that led to the October 7 massacre. Was it a result of tactical errors, intelligence failures, or misinterpretations of Hamas' intentions? Or does the root cause trace back to Israel's strategic decision to disengage from Gaza in 2005? Join us as we dissect these complex events, aiming to provide insight and understanding. Our goal is to help listeners process these challenging moments, fostering resilience and guiding us towards the light at the end of the tunnel. Together, we navigate the intricacies of history, seeking a deeper comprehension of the path ahead. Am Yisrael Chai!

Are there boundaries to Jewish caricatures? We didn't even know that Ben was recording. But he was! He recorded our discussion of a political cartoon. (you can look at it on this link) It made Matt particularly uncomfortable and we debate its appropriateness. The issue was that the government was defunding existing programs to transfer more money to Haredi causes and institutions. And so the cartoon showed Orthodox Jews running away with bags of money. Isn't that an antisemitic trope? But even if so, how else can an Israeli political cartoonist show Haredi party leaders taking money away from other parties? It's an interesting but niche topic. So while we didn't record a full episode about it, we're releasing it as a bonus while we prepare to record the next batch. Enjoy and Shana Tova!Here is a link to the Guardian cartoon that Calev mentions. Let us know what you think about the issue, and who you agree with. Enjoy!

Should Israel Do More to Support Ukraine?Israel faces a complex dilemma when it comes to supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. On one hand, Israel maintains strong historical ties with Russia, particularly regarding the Russian-speaking Jewish community. Russia has also been a key player in regional stability, particularly in Syria, where Israel has concerns about Iranian influence. Israel has generally tried to maintain a delicate balancing act between the United States and Russia, its two major allies, to safeguard its security interests.On the other hand, Israel has historically supported the principle of territorial integrity and the right to self-determination, which are central issues in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Israel itself has faced challenges related to territorial disputes and self-determination, making it sensitive to these issues. Furthermore, Israel's relationship with the United States, which is a strong supporter of Ukraine in this conflict, can put pressure on Israel to take a clear stance against Russia.Ultimately, Israel's dilemma in supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia is a complex interplay of historical, geopolitical, and security factors. Israel must carefully weigh its interests in maintaining its relationships with both the United States and Russia, while also considering its commitment to principles like territorial integrity and self-determination. Balancing these competing factors will continue to present challenges for Israel in navigating its stance on this conflict.Matt hosts this debate between Calev that Israel has struck the right balance, and Mike who argues that we should be doing more to support Ukraine.Let us know what you think about the issue, and who you agree with.

Can Israel Have a Constitution? Israel's Declaration of Independence calls for a “Constitution which shall be adopted by the Elected Constituent Assembly not later than the 1st October 1948...". It doesn't look like we're going to make the deadline. The current judicial reform crisis exists because of that. So too the current crisis over the role of the Attorney General. There simply aren't agreed upon rules of the road for how governance and legislation should take place. Of course, not all countries have constitutions. Should Israel have one? Could Israel successfully create one even if we wanted to?Matt hosts this debate between Calev that an Israeli constitution is unnecessary and unlikely, and Mike who argues that it is both needed and likely. Let us know what you think about the issue, and who you agree with.

Does Israel Need America? Everyone knows that Israel and America have a strong relationship. As allies their economic, political, military, and cultural ties are deeply rooted. It remains so across multiple administrations in each of the countries. But is America a necessary ally for Israel? What would happen if that relationship changed? Could Israel survive and thrive if for some reason it lost America as an ally? Matt hosts and frames the discussion, and Mike and Calev debate the issue. Calev argues that America is an indispensable ally, and Mike argues that it isn't. Let us know what you think about the issue, and who you agree with. Enjoy!

How Should Diaspora Jews Express their Ideas About Israeli Politics?Note: This is the end of the season and our podcast will be on a brief hiatus. Keep subscribed for season 9! There are several factors that can make it complicated for diaspora Jews to express their opinions on Israeli politics. Here are a few:Lack of firsthand experience: Diaspora Jews may not have firsthand experience living in Israel or the Palestinian territories, which can make it difficult to fully understand the complexities of the political situation. They also don't share the heaviest burdens or pay the heaviest costs of living in Israel.Fear of alienation: Expressing opinions that are contrary to the dominant narrative within the Jewish community can lead to feelings of alienation or ostracism.There may be pressure from within the Jewish community to conform to a particular political viewpoint on Israel, which can make it difficult for individuals to express their own opinion.Perceived lack of influence: Some diaspora Jews may feel that their opinions on Israeli politics carry little weight, given that they are not Israeli citizens and do not have a direct say in Israeli policy. Overall, these factors can create a challenging environment for diaspora Jews who wish to express their opinions on Israeli politics. However, it is important to remember that open and respectful dialogue is essential for building understanding and finding solutions to complex issues. How do we resolve this tension?Matt moderated this debate between Calev who argues for Diaspora Jews to be reserved, and Mike who argues for robust expression of opinions.Let us know what you think about the issue, and who you agree with.

Should Israeli Reserve Soldiers Refuse to Serve as Protests?The protests against Judicial Reform have continued on a smaller scale over the past weeks. With Passover behind us, and the national holiday season underway, Israelis are gearing up for whatever is coming next. One aspect of the protests in particular has been hotly debated. Should reservist soldiers refuse to perform their duties (“miluim' in Hebrew) as a form of protest? Over the course of the past few months, this has been a growing phenomenon. Historically, the military has been supposed to be entirely apolitical. This is partly because in a Democracy the military protects the people, it doesn't rule them. But it is also because national security is an issue that is so existential that it is dangerous to allow the military to take sides in political debates of any kind.What about the current debate has caused it to spill into withholding of service by the IDF's most loyal soldiers? And more to the point, are they doing more harm or good with this drastic approach to protest? What are the arguments for and against this tactic? Join us to find out!Calev moderated this debate between Matt who argues against soldiers refusing duty, and MIke who defends the position of those reservists.Let us know what you think about the issue, and who you agree with.

The Israeli Judicial Reform DebateThis is certainly the most divisive topic in current Israeli politics. While many thousands protest every week, supporters call those protesters anarchists. We recorded this episode before all of the plan's specifics were announced, we certainly called the issues correctly. This debate has been ongoing for several years, but is now reaching a crisis point. The main issue at the center of the debate is the balance of power between the legislative and judicial branches of government. Proponents of judicial reform argue that the current system gives the judiciary too much power, and that it needs to be reined in to prevent it from overstepping its bounds. They argue that the current system has resulted in a lack of accountability and has allowed the judiciary to interfere in areas that should be the purview of the legislature.On the other hand, opponents of judicial reform argue that the judiciary is an essential check on the power of the legislature, and that limiting its power would undermine the rule of law and the protection of individual rights and freedoms. They argue that the current system has been successful in ensuring that the laws are properly enforced and that the rights of citizens are protected. Additionally, they argue that the judiciary needs to be independent and free from political pressure in order to effectively perform its role as a check on the power of the legislature.The debate over judicial reform in Israel is not only about the balance of power between the branches of government, but also about the broader implications for Israeli democracy and the rule of law. Both sides in the debate are deeply committed to ensuring that Israel remains a strong and vibrant democracy, and that the rights of citizens are protected. However, they disagree on the best way to achieve these goals, and the debate over judicial reform will likely continue to be a contentious issue in Israeli politics for the foreseeable future.Is this an attempt to put unelected elitists back in their place? Or is this an attempt to create an executive branch with absolute power?The debate between Mike and Calev is hosted by Matt. Calev takes the position that the proposed reforms will severely damage Israeli Democracy, and Mike takes the position that these reforms are what Israel needs in order to lead to a more fair system.Enjoy!

Our guest in this episode is violist Matthew Lipman, one of his generation's great talents! After sufficient fan-girling, we got to ask Matt all of our burning questions about life in the most high-profile of freelancing careers: as a soloist and professional chamber musician. If there's anything universal about a career in music, it's how we stitch our identities into how we perceive success. We talk with Matt about what success means to him, as well as the important yet restrictive practices that are preventing us from exposing our art to a broader audience, and maybe even a little astrology - yes, we may be getting a little ‘woo-woo' today…Enjoy getting to know Matt, a beautiful musician with an important voice in the future of ‘classical' music!**If you enjoyed this episode, please consider rating and writing a quick review for our podcast! 10% discount on The ArcRest!

Might an education for children featuring philosophy be one of the keys to developing a more civil society? Prof. Amy Reed-Sandoval (UNLV) discusses how wonder is integral to philosophy and how this complements a child's natural inclination to know more about the world and others.

Adults can learn a great deal about their own perceptions on meaning, life, and the importance of play.Living Philosophy is brought to you by Philosophy2u.com.Host:Dr Todd MeiSponsors:Philosophy2u.comHillary Hutchinson, Career and Change Coach at Transitioning Your LifeMartin Bunzl, author of Thinking while WalkingHermeneutics in Real LifeLinks Related to this Episode:Amy Reed-Sandoval (personal website)Amy on Twitter (@AmyReedSandoval)Oaxaca, MexicoTriquis Indigenous PeoplePhilosophy for ChildrenMatthew LipmanMargaret SharpJohn DeweyTheseus' Ship Thought ExperimentDeductive logicMashika/Aztec PhilosophyMusic: Earth and the Moon, by KetsaLogo Art: Angela Silva

"A work for piano and viola commissioned by Matthew Lipman in memory of his mother. This work explores the beautiful and unexpectedly gruesome metamorphosis of a butterfly. When compared to the grieving process, in all its stages, it made so much sense to me. The story of emotional, physical loss and pain; the transition from something so excruciatingly difficult into the freedom that perhaps only acceptance can provide much of the suffering that takes place in the world in all its forms."

Matthew Lipman is a 2015 Avery Fisher Grant winner, has recorded with Rachel Barton Pine and Sir Neville Marriner. Since graduating from Juilliard Lipman is now on the viola faculty at Sony Brook University and concertizes around the world. His debut CD, Ascent, is in tribute in part to his mother (d. 2014), and commissioned “Metamorfose” from Clarice Assad in her memory. In his conversation with program director John Pitman, Lipman shares stories of how he transitioned from trumpet to viola in grade school; his somewhat awkward first session with his longtime piano partner Henry Kramer; and makes the case that there are enough quality works for his instrument to deflate the inevitable viola jokes. Lipman’s recording is a regular feature of All Classical’s playlist.

On this week's lecture, resident lecturer Bruce Adolphe discusses Beethoven's Quartet in C-sharp minor for Strings, Op. 131. Featuring a performance by Arnaud Sussmann, Sean Lee, violin; Matthew Lipman, viola; David Finckel, cello.

Works for solo piano by Liszt performed by Gleb Ivanov on April 11, 2010 and work by Faure performed by Michael Brown, Chad Hoopes, Matthew Lipman, and Colin Carr on November 22, 2015Liszt: Schubert Songs (trans Liszt): Gute NachtLiszt: Schubert Songs (trans Liszt): Ave MariaFauré: Quartet No. 2 in G Minor for Piano, Violin, Viola, and Cello, Op. 45As a listener to this podcast, you’ve probably realized by now the importance of lineage in classical music. The links between past and future, teacher and student have a tremendous impact. On this podcast, we’ll explore two composers who occupy interesting places in classical music lineage: Franz Liszt and Gabriel Fauré.Fauré’s music was quite adventurous, even scandalous, during his lifetime. Fauré ascended to head of the Paris conservatory where he modernized the curriculum, exerting an enormous influence on the emerging composers and musicians who studied there. We’ll hear Fauré’s Second Quartet for piano, violin, viola, and cello, his opus 45 – a piece written earlier in his career, before he began working at the conservatory. It is a passionate work, with ardent melodies and creative harmonies.Before the Fauré quartet—which makes up the bulk of the podcast—we have two brief but interesting transcriptions by Franz Liszt of songs by Schubert. Liszt was a prolific transcriber, often creating piano-only settings of operas and orchestral works. In the case of the Schubert songs, however, Liszt scaled up—adding pianistic embellishments to Schubert’s rather simple lieder. The resulting compositions are, at times, more like fantasties than transcriptions—expanding on Schubert’s songs, rather than just recreating them for solo piano.

Works by Mozart for violin and viola performed by Chad Hoopes and Matthew Lipman on November 22, 2015 and for chamber orchestra performed by A Far Cry on September 7, 2014.Mozart: Duo in G Major for Violin and Viola, K. 423Mozart: Divertimento in F, K. 138The word “diversion” has two, related meanings. Sometimes – as in Mozart’s Duo in G Major for violin and viola – it is about a surprise change in course. Mozart was in Salzburg for an extended visit with his new wife when he discovered that his friend Michael Haydn (Josef’s brother) had fallen ill in the midst of an important commission. The Archbishop had commissioned Haydn to write a set of six duos, but he’d gotten sick after completing the fourth and hadn’t been able to finish. Mozart gamely stepped into the void and offered to write the remaining pair.Then, we have a diversion of the second sort: a distraction, a trifle, a delight designed to entertain, in between other things. This is the Divertimento in F, also by Mozart. Divertimento, of course, means “diversion” or “amusement” in Italian, and the genre consists mostly of lighthearted pieces that might be heard at a party or social function. There’s some question about whether, in this case, the title was assigned by the composer—in the score, the word “divertimento” appears in someone else’s hand—but the music certainly fits. We’ll hear it performed by A Far Cry, the Gardner’s resident chamber orchestra.First, the Duo in G Major.
