Due to several requests we are extending this series of audios featuring Rabbi Jacobs, from 2005 recordings. All are also avaialable with video by visiting www.booksof.louisjacobs.org. A free months subscription is available.Rabbi Louis Jacobs reflects in this video upon his past appointments, starting from his early steps as assistant Rabbi in Eli Munk's Beit Midrash in Golders Green, and concluding with the creation of the New London synagogue and the instigation of the Masorti movement. He offers intimate descriptions of his experience in these communities, each time contemplating the religious outlook of their respective congregants and the various initiatives he undertook to further their development.He takes the opportunity to offer some insights on what he refers to as minhag Angliya, or more simply, the traditional religious outlook of English Jews. The civility and intellectual integrity which, in his view, characterizes Anglo-Jewry, was lost over the past decades to a more haredi-influenced notion of hashkafah. Rabbi Jacobs debases this shift as ‘inauthentic', and claims that it was with the intention of upholding the traditional religious outlook of British Jewry that he established the New London synagogue.Finally, Louis Jacobs offers some insights on recent infighting within the English-Jewish community. He expresses certain reservations concerning the ideology professed by the Masorti movement, and in a similar vein, justifies his opposition to the Stanmore Accords, proclaiming that there is no use of holding back criticism in situations of ideological conflict.The recording is followed by a short extract on mysticism, in which Rabbi Jacobs offers some reflections on the role of mysticism in contemporary Judaism. He puts forward his belief in the continued relevance of mystical and kabbalistic Jewish sources, each representing forms of expression of the ineffable. He debases, on the other hand, ‘Pop Kabbalah', or the attraction to mystical excitement or ecstasy professed by a large number of individuals today (including Madonna, Barbara Streisand, or Mick Jager), arguing that such views are based on superstition, and come out as quaint.

In this episode of Inside the Lines, Curt Conrad and Effie James sit down with Crestview senior quarterback and pole vaulter Liam Kuhn.

The discussion delves into regulatory takings, categorical takings, and the Penn Central test, providing insights into how courts analyze these issues. Additionally, it addresses the complexities of temporary takings and exactions, emphasizing the importance of fair compensation and the evolving challenges in environmental law.The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution is a cornerstone of American legal principles, safeguarding individual rights against government overreach. Among its provisions, the Takings Clause stands out as a critical element, ensuring that private property cannot be taken for public use without just compensation. This blog post explores the intricacies of the Fifth Amendment and the Takings Clause, shedding light on their significance and impact on property rights.Understanding the Fifth Amendment: The Fifth Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights and provides several protections for individuals, including the right to due process, protection against double jeopardy, and the right against self-incrimination. However, one of its most debated components is the Takings Clause, which addresses the balance between public needs and private property rights.The Takings Clause Explained: The Takings Clause states, "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." This clause ensures that when the government needs to acquire private property for public purposes, such as building infrastructure or public facilities, it must provide fair compensation to the property owner. The clause raises important questions about what constitutes "public use" and how "just compensation" is determined.Key Court Cases and Interpretations: Over the years, the U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted the Takings Clause in various landmark cases. One notable case is Kelo v. City of New London (2005), where the Court ruled that economic development can be considered a public use under the Takings Clause. This decision sparked widespread debate and led to legislative changes in several states to protect property owners.The Fifth Amendment and the Takings Clause play a vital role in balancing the interests of the public and private property owners. As legal interpretations evolve, these provisions continue to shape the landscape of property rights in the United States.

  Whaling was big business. Connecticut and her sister New England states built ships, forged cast iron tools, produced wooden storage casks and outfitted sailors. Stonington, Mystic, New London, and New Haven were part of New England's predominance in successful whaling. We're going to get into the nitty gritty of the trade in this episode and hear about some of the striking artifacts from Mystic Seaport's whaling collection - tools, ship logs, harpoons, blubber hooks and scrimshaw - that are on view. They speak to the staggering risks and rewards of the whaling industry that lit America's lamps and greased its machines for over a century. We're also going to talk about the largest whaling artifact of all - the Charles W. Morgan, the last American whaling ship in existence. It was considered “ancient” in the 1920s but has been faithfully restored.   This summer we are featuring two episodes on whaling. To get the big picture on whaling, we talked to one of our favorite guests, Eric Jay Dolin, in episode 211, about his book Leviathan, the History of Whaling in America. And in today's episode, we'll visit Mystic Seaport Museum's new exhibition “Monstrous: Whaling and Its Colossal Impact” with curator Mike Dyer. The exhibit explores the sheer scale-physical, economic, and human-of the nation's whaling industry and its legacy. Dyer is the Curator of Maritime History and an Instructor in the Frank C. Munson Institute of American Maritime History at Mystic Seaport Museum. Visitors can tour the new exhibit and visit the Charles W. Morgan  for an unforgettable immersive experience.   *Warning: Listeners may find the content of  this episode disturbing. Whaling was a brutal trade.

In June of 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Kelo v. City of New London that the local government did not violate the Fifth Amendment's Public Use Clause when it condemned private residential lots and transferred them to commercial developers to promote local economic development as part of a comprehensive municipal development plan. Kelo was certainly a landmark decision and, twenty years later, its impact is still felt and merits further consideration.

On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz travel over 230 years back in time to the 1780s in New London, Connecticut, to tell the unfortunate story of 12-year-old Hannah Occuish, the youngest person in the United States to ever be executed. Young Hannah had not had an easy life, so when a local 6-year-old girl was found brutally beaten, Hannah was a prime suspect. She eventually confessed to the murder and in December of 1786, she was hung. But the question still remains… did the Native-American girl actually kill the wealthy farmer's daughter?

Send us a textWhat happens when the government decides it needs your land? Does the Constitution really allow officials to seize your family home, farm, or business property against your will? The answer might disturb you.Attorney Clint Schumacher, a leading eminent domain expert, joins us to unravel the complex world where constitutional rights, property ownership, and government power collide. Schumacher pulls back the curtain on a legal process that affects countless Americans but remains widely misunderstood.We explore the landmark Kelo v. City of New London case that dramatically expanded government's ability to take private property, allowing cities to seize homes for economic development rather than traditional public uses like roads or schools. This controversial Supreme Court decision sparked nationwide outrage and legislative reforms, yet many property owners remain vulnerable.The conversation takes a deeply human turn as Schumacher describes families losing properties held for generations – land that forms part of their identity, not just their assets. We examine the Henry family farm in New Jersey, owned by the same family for 175 years, now threatened by condemnation for affordable housing. This poignant example highlights how even worthy public goals create profound private sacrifices.We also demystify the compensation process, revealing the often significant gap between government appraisals and true property value. Schumacher explains why property owners frequently feel shortchanged even when receiving "just compensation," especially when forced to pay their own legal fees from their settlement amounts.Whether you're a property owner concerned about your rights or simply want to understand this fascinating intersection of law, economics, and human dignity, this episode provides crucial insights into a power that Schumacher calls "a necessary evil." Despite its importance for infrastructure development, nothing government does to innocent citizens feels more invasive than taking their property against their will.Have questions about your legal rights?

  American whale oil lit the world. The Industrial Revolution couldn't have happened without it. Connecticut was part of the whaling industry of the nineteenth century that sent thousands of American ships manned by tens of thousands of men to hunt whales across the world's oceans. Stonington, Mystic, New London, and New Haven were part of New England's predominance in successful  whaling. In fact, New London, Connecticut is known today as the “Whaling City”.    My guest Eric Jay Dolan  is the author of sixteen award-winning books on maritime history. In this episode, we will be talking about the history of American whaling taken from his work in Leviathan The History of Whaling in America published in 2007 byW.W. Norton Press.  His latest book, is Left for Dead: Shipwreck, Treachery, and Survival at the Edge of the World. Dolin lives in Marblehead, Massachusetts.   Note: Listeners may find this  episode disturbing. Whaling was a brutal trade - we are describing the industry in its historic context.   To find out more about the other books that Eric has written, go to his website:  www.ericjaydolin.com/   His website also has information on upcoming events he's doing and contact information. He is available for book talks and lectures both in person and remotely.    You'll find the link to the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park here: www.nps.gov/nebe/index.htm   Don't forget that our August 1st episode will feature Mystic Seaport's new whaling exhibit.   ----------------------------------------------------- Like Grating the Nutmeg?
