Podcasts about Mount Sinai

Welcome to Day 2201 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom What Does God Want – God Was Betrayed By His Family – Daily Wisdom Putnam Church Message – 02/05/2023 What Does God Want? -  God Was Betrayed By His Family Last week, we continued our series with the overall theme, which is to answer the question: What does God want? The answer we discovered was that God wants you along with every person who will ever live. In other words, God wanted a human family. God wants co-workers to take care of His creation. God wants you to know/ who you are/ and why your life has value to him. /He loves you /and desires that you also love Him. Last week's message explored the three rebellions in Genesis 3-11. After those rebellions, God chose to restart his human family with Abraham and Sarah, which resulted in the nation of Israel, God's portion or, as we refer to Israel, as chosen God's people. Deut 32:9: “For the people of Israel belong to the Lord; Jacob is his special possession. The history of biblical Israel was a long, meandering affair filled with triumph and tragedy. God wasn't surprised. He knew what to expect from people. God had always known what he was dealing with. Wearing Out Your Welcome God let Abraham know that the future of his descendants would be challenging. He was honest. Genesis 15:13, Then the Lord said to Abram, “You can be sure that your descendants will be strangers in a foreign land, where they will be oppressed as slaves for 400 years. That was the bad news. God provided some hope in Genesis 15:14: But I will punish the nation that enslaves them, and in the end they will come away with great wealth. Sure enough, the descendants of Abraham, now led by his grandson, Jacob, whose name God changed to “Israel,” eventually wound up in Egypt under the thumb of Pharaoh (Exodus 1). They'd gone there with God's approval to avoid a famine (Genesis 45:5-11). Where they went wrong was that they didn't return to the land God had given to them after the famine was over. Instead, they stuck around in Egypt way too long. While in Egypt, the Israelite nation grew numerically, so much so that Pharaoh got paranoid about being able to stay in charge of the country (Exodus 1:8-10). He put them into forced labor and exterminated new babies if they were boys (Exodus 1:14-16). But God intervened and made them grow even stronger (Exodus 1:8-21). All told, Israel spent four centuries in Egypt under harsh conditions. Eventually, God intervened and preserved the life of a baby boy named Moses. God engineered circumstances, so the baby was raised in Pharaoh's house, right under his nose (Exodus 2:1-10). Moses led a life of privilege but one day committed a capital offense, murdering a man in a fight that began as a defense of a helpless Israelite. He fled Egypt to escape justice. Moses found a new life in a desert place called Midian. God met him at Mount Sinai in a burning bush (pre-incarnate Christ), an encounter that would change the history of his people and the world (Exodus 3:1-15). God sent Moses back to Egypt to confront Pharaoh.

In 2021, Dr. Samir Sinha was given a potentially daunting job: serving as the technical committee chair for a group tasked with establishing new, national long-term care standards in Canada in the wake of COVID-19's devastation. Dr. Sinha, an internationally renowned geriatrician who serves as the Director of Geriatrics at Mount Sinai and the University Health Network Hospitals in Toronto, joins the podcast to discuss how he navigated the politics and logistics of reshaping an entire nation's long-term care standards. By incorporating as many resident and caregiver voices as possible, and focusing as much on person-directed care practices as infection control and clinical concerns, Dr. Sinha's team laid the groundwork for real transformation in Canada and abroad – though, as he notes throughout the interview, the work to build a truly empowering care system is far from over.

Exodus 311 The LORD said to Moses, 2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship, 4 to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, 5 in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft. 6 And behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And I have given to all able men ability, that they may make all that I have commanded you: 7 the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furnishings of the tent, 8 the table and its utensils, and the pure lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of incense, 9 and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin and its stand,10 and the finely worked garments, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, for their service as priests, 11 and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the Holy Place. According to all that I have commanded you, they shall do.”12 And the LORD said to Moses, 13 “You are to speak to the people of Israel and say, ‘Above all you shall keep my Sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I, the LORD, sanctify you. 14 You shall keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you. Everyone who profanes it shall be put to death. Whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 15 Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall be put to death. 16 Therefore the people of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath throughout their generations, as a covenant forever. 17 It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.'”18 And he gave to Moses, when he had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.

The Transfiguration of Our Lord The Collect: Rite II: O God, who on the holy mount revealed to chosen witnesses your well-beloved Son, wonderfully transfigured, in raiment white and glistening: Mercifully grant that we, being delivered from the disquietude of this world, may by faith behold the King in his beauty; who with you, O Father, and you, O Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Old Testament: Exodus 34:29-35 29Moses came down from Mount Sinai. As he came down from the mountain with the two tablets of the covenant in his hand, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God. 30When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, the skin of his face was shining, and they were afraid to come near him. 31But Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke with them. 32Afterward all the Israelites came near, and he gave them in commandment all that the Lord had spoken with him on Mount Sinai. 33When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face; 34but whenever Moses went in before the Lordto speak with him, he would take the veil off, until he came out; and when he came out, and told the Israelites what he had been commanded,35the Israelites would see the face of Moses, that the skin of his face was shining; and Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him. Psalm: Psalm 99 or 99:5-9 [1 The Lord is King;    let the people tremble; *        he is enthroned upon the cherubim;        let the earth shake. 2 The Lord is great in Zion; *        he is high above all peoples. 3 Let them confess his Name, which is great and awesome; *        he is the Holy One. 4 “O mighty King, lover of justice,    you have established equity; *        you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.”] 5 Proclaim the greatness of the Lord our God   and fall down before his footstool; *        he is the Holy One. 6 Moses and Aaron among his priests,   and Samuel among those who call upon his Name, *        they called upon the Lord, and he answered them. 7 He spoke to them out of the pillar of cloud; *        they kept his testimonies and the decree that he gave them. 8 O Lord our God, you answered them indeed; *        you were a God who forgave them,        yet punished them for their evil deeds. 9 Proclaim the greatness of the Lord our God   and worship him upon his holy hill; *        for the Lord our God is the Holy One. Epistle: 2 Peter 1:13-21 13I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to refresh your memory,14since I know that my death will come soon, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. 15And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things. 16For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17For he received honor and glory from God the Father when that voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, my Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.” 18We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven, while we were with him on the holy mountain. 19So we have the prophetic message more fully confirmed. You will do well to be attentive to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, 21because no prophecy ever came by human will, but men and women moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. Gospel: Luke 9:28-36 28Now about eight days after these sayings Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. 29And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white. 30Suddenly they saw two men, Moses and Elijah, talking to him. 31They appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32Now Peter and his companions were weighed down with sleep; but since they had stayed awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. 33Just as they were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah” —not knowing what he said. 34While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were terrified as they entered the cloud. 35Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!” 36When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and in those days told no one any of the things they had seen.

Our very first guest host, Dr. Stephanie Melka, sits down to interview Dr. Nathan Fox and give our listeners more insight into his background and how he got started in the field of maternal fetal medicine. He shares how he met his wife in college and got married before starting medical school at Mount Sinai. As a second-year med student, Dr. Fox got the chance to do delivers with OB Dr. Jay Bauman and was immediately intrigued with the field. He went on to complete his residency (while balancing his home life with three children) and got a job at Mount Sinai where he and Dr. Melka started together on the same day, Dr. Melka being his intern. Ever since Dr. Fox has been fully invested in the field of maternal field medicine and is dedicated to patient education and patient care that focuses on their overall health.

Did you know that Benjamin Franklin once proposed that a turkey should represent the United States on our national seal? Most Americans are probably grateful that instead, in 1782, the bald eagle was selected to adorn the Great Seal. The eagle has been a symbol of power and strength from ancient times. In Exodus 19, we read about another nation, Israel, that arrived at Mount Sinai. In this important passage, God summarizes the covenant relationship into which He was inviting Israel to enter with Him. He reminds Israel what He had done: “You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings” (v. 4). Here God compares His actions in the Exodus story to an eagle, symbolizing the speed and power of His deliverance. God makes an important point about why He delivered Israel. He did it not only to save Israel from slavery but also to bring them to Himself (v. 4). He desired to be in a close relationship with them. When we think about our salvation, it is important to remember the same truth. God delivered us not only to save us from sin and judgment but also to bring us into a relationship with Him (1 Cor. 1:9). In the remainder of the passage, God outlines His purpose for calling Israel. He called Israel to be His special people so they would be a “kingdom of priests and a holy nation” (v. 6). They were not to ignore the rest of the world but represent God to them. They could do this through example, witness, and by keeping and proclaiming God’s Word. >> We are grateful that our God has brought salvation for His people. As those who hope in Him, we can claim this promise: “Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint” (Isa. 40:31).

Be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain. No one shall come up with you, and let no one be seen throughout all the mountain. Let no flocks or herds graze opposite that mountain.” So Moses cut two tablets of stone like the first. And he rose early in the morning and went up on Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand two tablets of stone. The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation.” And Moses quickly bowed his head toward the earth and worshiped. And he said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, please let the Lord go in the midst of us, for it is a stiff-necked people, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.” Epistle Reading -- Ephesians 2:1-10 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. The Holy Gospel according to St. Luke, the fifteenth chapter. Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” So he told them this parable … "what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.' Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

“When we say ‘treatment for menopause,' it implies that menopause is a disease, when really it's a normal and expected time of life,” says Dr. Anna Barbieri, an integrative medicine physician and specialist in menopause certified by the North American Menopause Society. That attentiveness to word choice is reflective of a new perspective that's driving Dr. Barbieri and her peers to see menopause more holistically than in the past and to forge new approaches to the care they provide. "Menopause care is not checkbox medicine. We have to work with our patients individually," Barbieri shares with special guest host Dr. Deborah Enegess, herself a practicing gynecologist as well as a clinical content writer for Osmosis. A personalized approach involves tailoring care plans that take exercise, nutrition, sleep, stress management and other lifestyle and psychological factors into account in an effort to help patients feel better in the short term and longer term.  Providers also have to contend with a shift in long-held thinking about the use of hormone therapy and a bewildering array of supplements that are touted as effective remedies for various symptoms.  To help sort through all of this complexity, new resources have come on the scene in recent years, including the digital platform Elektra Health -- of which Barbieri is the founding physician -- that describes its mission as “smashing the menopause taboo.” Check out this engaging exploration of what looks to be a promising time for women in search of individualized, integrated and informed care during their menopause journey.Mentioned in this episode: https://www.elektrahealth.com/

Opening prayer (from the Prayer before the Gospel during the Diving Liturgy) Make the pure light of Thy divine knowledge shine in our hearts, Loving Master, and open the eyes of our minds that we may understand the message of Thy Gospel. Instill also in us reverence for Thy blessed commandments, so that overcoming all worldly desires, we may pursue a spiritual life, both thinking and doing all things pleasing to Thee. For Thee, Christ our God, are the Light of our souls and bodies, and to Thee we give the glory, together with Thy Father, without beginning, and Thine All Holy, Good, and Life- Creating Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.  (2 Corinthians 6:6; Ephesians 1:18; 2 Peter 2:11) An Important Prologue (from Fr. Stephen's The Whole Counsel) ·      Inspiration.  2 Peter 1:19-21.  And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, than no prophecy of Scripture is of any private origin, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men, being carried by the Holy Spirit, spoke from God (OSB & FSDY).   Note that these “men” did this at different times, using different styles, and the writing was not done all at once.  For example, the Torah is of Mosaic origin, but its language and style are from later times (and I don't have in mind E, Y, D, P).  Inspiration includes speaking, writing, editing, copying, translating, and compiling scripture.  ·      Inerrancy.  A bit on the term.  18th century gave rise to a “scientific” way of looking at scripture.  This doesn't just mean taking out the supernatural elements, but breaking texts apart and said to be of different and conflicting sources.  Conservative American Protestants reacted by publishing “The Fundamentals.”  They argued that the Scriptures were inerrant (without error).  The Liberal Protestants were opposed to this view, saying that they were affected by the limitations of the people and cultures of the times in which they were written.  This difference about inerrancy could have been bridged through nuance, but then they moved further apart, with the “fundamentalists” equating literal/materialist with inerrant and the liberal side becoming more interested in a reconstructed social gospel.  Orthodoxy teaches that the Scriptures do not contain errors, but it has a strong tolerance for ambiguities.  “In large part, this is because the Church has never approached the world on the basis of the Scriptures; rather the Scriptures function internally, with the Church and her worship.”  Orthodoxy is not concerned with identifying and reconciling “errors” in scripture, but in what it (with all its richness) calls us to be. ·      Sola Scriptura.  The Reformation put Scripture as the key to evaluating tradition and the teaching authority of the Church; the Roman Catholics make the teaching authority of the Church key (magisterium).  Orthodoxy sidesteps this approach because it recognizes that Christ Himself is the Truth.  We are not turning to scripture, tradition, and the Church to learn about Christ; we are coming to know God experientially, being united with and in Christ Himself.  John 15:26-27 (following the logic of 2 Peter above), has the Holy Spirit (continuously revealing “Tradition”) and the witness of those who saw/knew God (ie Scriptures); “But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.”  We do not recognize competing sources of authority (Church, Tradition, Scripture), but see it all as the way we come to know Christ through the working of the Holy Spirit  The Source(s) of the Bible Following Christ, the Apostles, and the Early Church, the Orthodox Church primarily uses the Septuagint.  The Torah section was an official translation completed well before the Incarnation of Christ.  This makes it more “objective” than the post-Incarnational Jewish Masoretic Text and Canon (most Roman Catholic and Protestant Bibles rely primarily on the Masoretic text).  The Masoretic text was prepared after the loss of the Temple and the rise of Christianity (with the addition of vowels etc.). The Septuagint differs little from the Masoretic Text; both are supported by the Dead Sea Scrolls.  The Dead Sea Scrolls help demonstrate that there was textual diversity before the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. There is NO SINGLE CANON OF ORTHODOX SCRIPTURE.  We have the books we use liturgically and the books we read.  All of them are useful. How the Bible is OrganizedNew Testament (we'll cover it later) and Old Testament. Old Testament Organization (Septuagint organization)  The Torah.  According to tradition, it was revealed to Moses on Mt. Sinai (most connect it with Moses (e.g. Exodus 33:11 & Galatians 3:19), but admit to it being touched by many hands).  The five books of the Torah are also called the Five Books of the Law, the Pentateuch and the Books of Moses. Genesis (beginning).  God's creation of the world, the fall of mankind, and the three patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) Exodus (departure).  The early life of Moses, the Israelite escape from Egypt, and revelations at Mount Sinai. Leviticus (of the Levites).  Historically, takes place at the foot of Sinai and continues to describe how God is to be honored and how Israelites are to live. Numbers (you'll see!).  Describes the Israelites' time in the desert up to their arrival at the banks of the Jordan. Deuteronomy (second law).  Moses' last words to the Israelites.  His death. The Books of History.  The history of Israel from their arrival at the promised land to just before the Incarnation.  They are thought to have been written well after the events they describe.  The Books of History are Joshua (the conquering of the promised land), Judges (The Israelites struggle with righteousness and idolatry), Ruth, I Kingdoms (aka I Samuel), II Kingdoms (II Samuel), III Kingdoms (I Kings), IV Kingdoms (II Kings), I Paraleipomenon (I Chronicles), II Paraleipomenon (II Chronicles), Nehemiah, I Esdras, II Esdras (Ezra), Tobit, Judith, Esther, I Maccabees, II Maccabees, III Maccabees. Books of Wisdom.   Psalms, Prayer of Manasseh, Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon (aka Song of Songs or Canticle of Canticles), Wisdom of Solomon, Wisdom of Sirach (aka Wisdom of Jesus, Son of Sirach; aka Ecclesiasticus)   The Prophets.   Minor prophets:  Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zecharia, Malachi Major prophets:  Isaiah, Jeremiah (includes Baruch and the Epistle of Jeremiah), Ezekiel, Daniel (includes the Song of the Three Children). Why did some early Christians want to ban the Old Testament from the Biblical Canon?  Why do we care about the Old Testament?  It is “The Scriptures” referred to in the New Testament.  It is about God, Christ, and God's plan for the world.

In this episode I speak with Dennis S. Charney, MD, Dean of the Icahn School of Medicine and President for Academic Affairs for the Mount Sinai Health System and Jonathan M. DePierro, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Associate Director of Mount Sinai's Center for Stress, Resilience, and Personal Growth. They are the co-authors of "Resilience: The Science of Mastering Life's Greatest Challenges, third edition," dedicated to their late third author, Steven M. Southwick, M.D., which is possibly the definitive book on the topic. Their wakeup calls came from violent traumas they each suffered and tested their resilience. https://www.amazon.com/Resilience-Science-Mastering-Greatest-Challenges/dp/1009299743/

David Pitino is a health technology researcher who started the Abilities Research Center in Mount Sinai. In this episode, he discusses innovation in the health tech industry, and how such technology and the industry overall can be improved.   Top three takeaways: Communicating with your end user is critically important in solving challenges with medical technologies. One major improvement in most medical technologies is the increase in affordability of these technologies for patients. Improving the industry and technology is more important than monetary gain.   [0:00] Ladan introduces the episode and David Pitino [0:45] Summary of opportunities and barriers in the technological and innovation space [3:30] It is important for developers to speak with the user of their technology [4:45] Pitino discusses his partnership with Not Impossible Labs and how they “solve absurdities”, gives example of person who cannot afford eye-tracker technology [7:30] Impact is not measured in monetary value but in how industries are improved and how technology is made more affordable for patients

I sit down with Rachelle Manookian, Genetic Counselor at Children's Hospital of LA.  We discuss the transition from adult oncology at City of Hope to pediatrics, and the nuances it entails.  Rachelle and I originally met when she was a student at Mount Sinai in New York, and she's running the NYC marathon for AliveAndKickn, giving her an excuse to get back to the City.  Link to Rachelle's marathon fundraising page is at www.AliveAndKickn.org. We caught up on the good old days at Mount Sinai, as well as some NYC food digression.  Hopefully I had my Los Angeles soccer history close to being correct.  Fact check me.  

In today's conversation, we're going to pick back up with Moses and the Israelites as they hear from God at Mount Sinai. We'll take a magnifying glass to the Ten Commandments in order to demystify and clarify them for the eyes of our modern understanding. We'll be forced to take a good look at our own hearts and actions, and we'll come to realize that these moral standards of living can only be perfected through a relationship with Jesus Christ and the power of sanctification which comes through knowing Him. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

Study Guide Kiddushin 22 Today’s daf is sponsored by Judi Felber in loving memory of her father, Armin Abramson, Hershel Tzvi Shlomo Chaim ben Dina Sara and Pesach, on his 6th yahrzeit. “He was always amazed by the topics the rabbis discussed and the details they considered.”  Today's daf is sponsored by Erica and Barry Kolatch in celebration of the Bar Mitzvah of their grandson, Alon Hillel Kolatch, son of Eliezer and Shoshana Covel Kolatch. "Mazal Tov also to Alon's other grandparents, Leah Covel, and James Covel." Today's learning is sponsored by the Hadran Zoom family for a refuah shleima of Avi, Avraham Shraga Feivush ben Hilda, "the husband of our dear friend and co-learner, Goldie Gilad. With tefillot and wishes for a full and speedy recovery for Avi, b'toch she'ar cholei Yisrael." Can a master give a Jewish slave who is a kohen a Caananite slave for bearing children? Is it permissible for a kohen to go through the process with an eshet yefat toar as prescribed by the Torah? In what way is it permissible to pierce the slave's ear and allow him to remain enslaved until the Jubilee year? The Gemara brings braitot with drashot on the verses of a slave whose ear gets pierced and limits the possibilities in which this can happen. Anyone who buys a Jewish slave is buying a master himself because he needs to be treated as one would treat oneself. The master also needs to provide food for his wife and children. Rabban Yochanan ben Zakhai explains that specifically the ear is pierced as a sign that the slave who wanted to remain a slave heard the words of the Torah at Mount Sinai that the sons of Yisrael are slaves to God and not slaves to slaves and transgressed this and sold himself into slavery. Rabbi Shimon b'Rebbi explains that the reason the ear is pierced near the door is to remember that God passed over the doorposts in Egypt showing that we would leave slavery behind and become slaves to God only and this slave is going against that.  According to the Mishna, a Canaanite slave was bought with money, a document and chazaka. However, there are other ways as well and the Gemara explains what they are.

Nehemiah 8–9 Nehemiah 8–9 (Listen) Ezra Reads the Law 8 And all the people gathered as one man into the square before the Water Gate. And they told Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses that the LORD had commanded Israel. 2 So Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, both men and women and all who could understand what they heard, on the first day of the seventh month. 3 And he read from it facing the square before the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women and those who could understand. And the ears of all the people were attentive to the Book of the Law. 4 And Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden platform that they had made for the purpose. And beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah on his right hand, and Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam on his left hand. 5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was above all the people, and as he opened it all the people stood. 6 And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God, and all the people answered, “Amen, Amen,” lifting up their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground. 7 Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, the Levites,1 helped the people to understand the Law, while the people remained in their places. 8 They read from the book, from the Law of God, clearly,2 and they gave the sense, so that the people understood the reading. This Day Is Holy 9 And Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, “This day is holy to the LORD your God; do not mourn or weep.” For all the people wept as they heard the words of the Law. 10 Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” 11 So the Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Be quiet, for this day is holy; do not be grieved.” 12 And all the people went their way to eat and drink and to send portions and to make great rejoicing, because they had understood the words that were declared to them. Feast of Booths Celebrated 13 On the second day the heads of fathers' houses of all the people, with the priests and the Levites, came together to Ezra the scribe in order to study the words of the Law. 14 And they found it written in the Law that the LORD had commanded by Moses that the people of Israel should dwell in booths3 during the feast of the seventh month, 15 and that they should proclaim it and publish it in all their towns and in Jerusalem, “Go out to the hills and bring branches of olive, wild olive, myrtle, palm, and other leafy trees to make booths, as it is written.” 16 So the people went out and brought them and made booths for themselves, each on his roof, and in their courts and in the courts of the house of God, and in the square at the Water Gate and in the square at the Gate of Ephraim. 17 And all the assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made booths and lived in the booths, for from the days of Jeshua the son of Nun to that day the people of Israel had not done so. And there was very great rejoicing. 18 And day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read from the Book of the Law of God. They kept the feast seven days, and on the eighth day there was a solemn assembly, according to the rule. The People of Israel Confess Their Sin 9 Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the people of Israel were assembled with fasting and in sackcloth, and with earth on their heads. 2 And the Israelites4 separated themselves from all foreigners and stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers. 3 And they stood up in their place and read from the Book of the Law of the LORD their God for a quarter of the day; for another quarter of it they made confession and worshiped the LORD their God. 4 On the stairs of the Levites stood Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani; and they cried with a loud voice to the LORD their God. 5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, “Stand up and bless the LORD your God from everlasting to everlasting. Blessed be your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise. 5 6 “You are the LORD, you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you. 7 You are the LORD, the God who chose Abram and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans and gave him the name Abraham. 8 You found his heart faithful before you, and made with him the covenant to give to his offspring the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite. And you have kept your promise, for you are righteous. 9 “And you saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt and heard their cry at the Red Sea, 10 and performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants and all the people of his land, for you knew that they acted arrogantly against our fathers. And you made a name for yourself, as it is to this day. 11 And you divided the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on dry land, and you cast their pursuers into the depths, as a stone into mighty waters. 12 By a pillar of cloud you led them in the day, and by a pillar of fire in the night to light for them the way in which they should go. 13 You came down on Mount Sinai and spoke with them from heaven and gave them right rules and true laws, good statutes and commandments, 14 and you made known to them your holy Sabbath and commanded them commandments and statutes and a law by Moses your servant. 15 You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger and brought water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and you told them to go in to possess the land that you had sworn to give them. 16 “But they and our fathers acted presumptuously and stiffened their neck and did not obey your commandments. 17 They refused to obey and were not mindful of the wonders that you performed among them, but they stiffened their neck and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt.6 But you are a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and did not forsake them. 18 Even when they had made for themselves a golden7 calf and said, ‘This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt,' and had committed great blasphemies, 19 you in your great mercies did not forsake them in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud to lead them in the way did not depart from them by day, nor the pillar of fire by night to light for them the way by which they should go. 20 You gave your good Spirit to instruct them and did not withhold your manna from their mouth and gave them water for their thirst. 21 Forty years you sustained them in the wilderness, and they lacked nothing. Their clothes did not wear out and their feet did not swell. 22 “And you gave them kingdoms and peoples and allotted to them every corner. So they took possession of the land of Sihon king of Heshbon and the land of Og king of Bashan. 23 You multiplied their children as the stars of heaven, and you brought them into the land that you had told their fathers to enter and possess. 24 So the descendants went in and possessed the land, and you subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hand, with their kings and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they would. 25 And they captured fortified cities and a rich land, and took possession of houses full of all good things, cisterns already hewn, vineyards, olive orchards and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate and were filled and became fat and delighted themselves in your great goodness. 26 “Nevertheless, they were disobedient and rebelled against you and cast your law behind their back and killed your prophets, who had warned them in order to turn them back to you, and they committed great blasphemies. 27 Therefore you gave them into the hand of their enemies, who made them suffer. And in the time of their suffering they cried out to you and you heard them from heaven, and according to your great mercies you gave them saviors who saved them from the hand of their enemies. 28 But after they had rest they did evil again before you, and you abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they had dominion over them. Yet when they turned and cried to you, you heard from heaven, and many times you delivered them according to your mercies. 29 And you warned them in order to turn them back to your law. Yet they acted presumptuously and did not obey your commandments, but sinned against your rules, which if a person does them, he shall live by them, and they turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck and would not obey. 30 Many years you bore with them and warned them by your Spirit through your prophets. Yet they would not give ear. Therefore you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. 31 Nevertheless, in your great mercies you did not make an end of them or forsake them, for you are a gracious and merciful God. 32 “Now, therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love, let not all the hardship seem little to you that has come upon us, upon our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets, our fathers, and all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria until this day. 33 Yet you have been righteous in all that has come upon us, for you have dealt faithfully and we have acted wickedly. 34 Our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers have not kept your law or paid attention to your commandments and your warnings that you gave them. 35 Even in their own kingdom, and amid your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and rich land that you set before them, they did not serve you or turn from their wicked works. 36 Behold, we are slaves this day; in the land that you gave to our fathers to enjoy its fruit and its good gifts, behold, we are slaves. 37 And its rich yield goes to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins. They rule over our bodies and over our livestock as they please, and we are in great distress. 8 38 “Because of all this we make a firm covenant in writing; on the sealed document are the names of9 our princes, our Levites, and our priests.

They describe how voice care fits into the overall process of transition, and why patients seek care for voice-related concerns at different points in their journey. Gopi asks about collaboration with other specialties, and Mark discusses collaboration with other clinicians in a patient-centered transgender care team. The conversation then shifts to workup and treatment of voice-related concerns. In Sarah's experience, trans women present with voice fatigue if they are overly reliant on pitch modulation. By addressing pitch, articulation, rate of speech, volume, and resonance, Sarah helps her patients achieve a more feminine communication style while minimizing physical strain. Mark outlines his physical exam and process of history-taking as they relate to voice concerns. They also address the role of laryngoscopy in transgender patient populations. Finally, Sarah and Mark address the importance of duration and goals of voice therapy. Both she and Mark emphasize the need to monitor progress over sessions of voice therapy. Delving into surgical management, Mark addresses the indications for, steps in, and complications of voice-modifying surgery. To wrap up, Sarah and Mark encourage listeners to educate their fellow clinicians regarding voice care for transgender patients. --- RESOURCES https://www.enttoday.org/article/gender-affirmation-surgery-in-california/ https://www.enttoday.org/article/analyzing-the-latest-gender-affirming-care-restrictions-in-state-laws/ Sarah's Twitter: https://twitter.com/scharx16 Sarah's UCSF Profile: https://transcare.ucsf.edu/team/sarah-schneider Mark's Mount Sinai Profile: https://profiles.mountsinai.org/mark-s-courey

In today's conversation, we're going to set out once again with Moses and the Israelites as they continue their journey through the wilderness and arrive at Mount Sinai, the Mountain of God. We'll notice that the wilderness is always a place where God speaks to his people, and we'll stand in awe, with the Israelites, as God reveals himself on that mountain. We'll discuss the necessity of consecration—then and now—and we'll realize that the moral requirements for the people of God did not change between the Testaments. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

James 1:19 James was well aware that the normal inclination of human beings is to speak too much and listen too little. It's worth reflecting for a moment on why this is the case. Listening is really hard work. It's certainly much more demanding than speaking. When we give our full attention to another person, it requires a great deal of concentration and, if we do it for long, it can be exhausting. But when we listen to someone else, we are showing our care and love for them in a profound way. James certainly wasn't asking his readers to be mute! It is good and healthy for us to speak, but we would all do well to make sure we are disciplined in the way we speak - and ensure we are constantly improving our listening skills. In recent years, there has been a mushrooming of listening courses. They perhaps don't teach anything that is brand new to any of us, but they do encourage us to reflect carefully on the process of listening, and can help us become increasingly attentive to others. I'm sure all of us could benefit from going on such a course. James also commands his readers to be slow to get angry. Proverbs 14:29 says: “People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness.” There are, of course, things which make all of us angry. The question is: What do we do with that anger? If we fail to control it, it can cause a great deal of destruction. John Scholasticus, a monk who lived on Mount Sinai in the 7th century, said: “As long as anger lives, she continues to be the fruitful mother of many unhappy children.” It is vital that we seek God's strength to control our listening, speaking and anger so that we are only ever building his kingdom and not destroying it. QUESTION What do you need to do to become a better listener? PRAYER Lord God, help me to become better at listening so that I will share more of your love with others. Amen

The Ten Commandments: Their Relevance in the 21st CenturyConsider this, if you will: a road map. In days past, before the advent of GPS, we relied heavily on paper maps and well-marked signs to guide us on our journeys. Now imagine trying to navigate without such maps or signs. You'd be lost, wouldn't you? The Ten Commandments serve a similar purpose in our spiritual journey, pointing us in the right direction, keeping us on the right path, and protecting us from pitfalls and danger.Our foundational scripture today is Exodus 20:1–17, where God gave the Ten Commandments to Moses. However, let's anchor our conversation on Psalm 119:105, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." 1. The Ten Commandments: A Guiding LightThe Ten Commandments, given to Moses on Mount Sinai, were a moral compass for the Israelites. They were a light in the darkness, guiding them to live in a way that was pleasing to God. In today's world, they remain relevant as they continue to guide us in making ethical decisions and distinguishing right from wrong. 2. Relevance in the 21st CenturySome might argue that the Ten Commandments, written thousands of years ago, are outdated. But are they really 'Do not steal? 'Do not bear false witness.' Honour behaviour. and your father and mother.' These are timeless principles that govern human behaviour. They guide us in our relationships with others and, ultimately, with God.3. A Foundation for Modern LawsMany legal systems around the world are based on Judeo-Christian ethics, which are rooted in the Ten Commandments. 'Do not murder,' for instance, forms the basis of laws against homicide worldwide. This alone shows the enduring relevance of these commandments in contemporary society.4. A Call to LoveJesus summarised the Ten Commandments into two great commandments: love God and love your neighbour (Matthew 22:37–40). When we love God, we naturally want to follow His commandments. And when we love others, we naturally want to treat them with respect and kindness.5. Spiritual TransformationThe Ten Commandments are more than a set of rules. They are God's way of shaping our character to be more like Him. They draw us closer to His heart and deepen our relationship with Him. Let's close in prayer:"Dear God, thank you for giving us your commandments as a light for our path. Help us to follow them in our daily lives, not out of obligation, but out of love for You and for our fellow human beings. As we navigate the complexities of the 21st century, guide us in Your truth and help us to live in a way that brings honor to You. In Jesus' name, Amen."As you depart today, I bless you with the words from Numbers 6:24-26: "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace." May the Commandments of God guide you, protect you, and lead you in paths of righteousness. Amen.

2 Chronicles 27 - 1:06 . Isaiah 9 - 2:55 . Isaiah 10 - 7:44 . Isaiah 11 - 15:05 . Isaiah 12 - 18:34 . Psalm 133 - 19:58 . We begin today's reading with a brief historical account from the book of 2 Chronicles covering the reign of Uzziah's son, King Jotham of Judah, before jumping back into Isaiah. Isaiah chapter 9 begins a prophecy about the birth of the Prince of Peace, a passage that many of us read in our church services during Advent or Christmas. In stark contrast, Isaiah moves on to consider the coming of Assyria, the instrument of God's wrath against his people. Remember that earlier in our reading plan, God's covenant at Mount Sinai with the people of Israel came with abundant blessings through obedience, or with dreadful curses for ignoring God's statutes. In chapter 11, Isaiah prophesies of a shoot that will grow from the stump of Jesse, pointing both to the judgment of God against Israel and a Messianic promise. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

All space is filled with it... It was the saute surmadi the sound of the ab-stract, which Mohammed heard in the cave of Gar-e-Hira. Moses heard this very sound on Mount Sinai... It was heard by Christ when his Heavenly Father manifested to him in the wilderness. Shiva heard the same anahad nad during his samadhi in the cave of the Himalayas. The flute of Krishna is symbolic of the same sound. This sound is the source of all revelation to the Masters. Whoever has followed the strains of this sound has forgotten all earthly distinctions. The sound of the abstract is always going on within, around and about man. Man does not hear it as a rule, because his consciousness is entirely centered in his material exist-ence... In comparison to it, the sounds of the earth are like that of a whistle to a drum. When the abstract sound is audible all other sounds become indistinct to the mystic." - Julian Johnson, The Path of the Masters  "In the inner stillness where meditation leads, the Spirit secretly anoints the soul and heals our deepest wounds." -St. John of the Cross Join us on Patreon to support the show, and tune into and participate in live video Q&As with me!  Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will begin hosting ads before and after earlier (not new) episodes.
