Havdalah - Women's Obligation by Rabbi Avi Harari

Education Minister Erica Stanford is my politician of the day for announcing that the Government isn't going to be building any more of those terrible open-plan classrooms. But she'll be my politician of the year if she goes further than that and finds money to put some walls and doors in the modern learning environment monstrosities that already exist. In fact, I think the Government is morally obliged to help any state school that wants to get rid of their open-plan classrooms. It's morally obliged because this disastrous experiment was forced on the schools. And it will cost a truckload of money but it's the only option, in my mind. Unless, of course, there are schools that are perfectly happy teaching kids in barns. They can fill their boots. But I bet there are a truckload of schools looking at this announcement and thinking “what about us?” The way Erica Stanford puts it is that she's had overwhelming feedback that open-plan classrooms aren't meeting the needs of students. She says: “While open-plan designs were originally intended to foster collaboration, they have often created challenges for schools, particularly around noise and managing student behaviour.” Which is a polite way of saying that it was a hair-brained idea that shouldn't have seen the light of day. And to Erica Stanford and the Government's credit, they're not building any more. Which Rangiora High School principal Bruce Kearney says is great, but he wants to know about all the schools that have already been lumbered with open-plan classrooms. Some of which have had a gutsful and have spent a lot of their own money turning the barns into old-school classrooms. Rangiora High School is one of them. They spent $1.5 million. Shirley Boys' High School in Christchurch spent $800,00. And Avonside Girls' spent $60,000 on screens and acoustic panels because a full fit-out was going to be too expensive for the school to pay for on its own. Avonside principal Catherine Law says she is “thrilled” to see the move away from open-plan because it's done nothing for students having a sense of belonging, and it had a really detrimental effect on teaching and learning. She says year 9 and year 10 kids —the old third formers and fourth formers— are the ones who seem to struggle the most, because they're the ones getting used to high school. She says those years especially are the worst times for kids to be expected to try and work in open-plan areas. She says there's a lot of anxiety with the kids not knowing where they sit and where they belong. And she thinks that any school that wants to get rid of the open-plan set-up should get funding to do it. If the experience at Rangiora High is anything to go by, why wouldn't the Government spend some money fixing up this shambles? Since Rangiora put in the walls and doors, attendance is up by 12%. Which principal Bruce Kearney puts down to “happier teachers, happier kids, and a happier school”. And he is in no doubt that the Government needs to stump up with the money so all schools that want to benefit from this brilliant move by Erica Stanford, can. I'm going further than that though. I think the government is morally obliged to do it. Because even though it wasn't this particular government that forced modern learning environments on schools, it was still the government-of-the-day. The current administration is now admitting that the experiment has failed. So there is no way it can say that but still expect kids already being taught in these battery farms to put up with it. And there's no way it can admit it was a cock-up and expect teachers to keep teaching in these places. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Hull on Estates, Stuart Clark and Grey Tiansheng Wen discuss the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal's recent decision in CPC Networks Corp. v McDougall Gauley LLP, 2023 SKCA 90, a case with significant implications for lawyer file ownership and production obligations.  The decision explores what portions of a lawyer's file belong to the client versus what remains the property of the law firm, and how that distinction impacts disclosure—particularly when former clients request their full legal file or where litigation is ongoing. Stuart and Grey examine the Court's clarification of key legal principles, including: The distinction between documents prepared for the client's benefit and those created solely for internal firm use; The burden on lawyers to identify and justify withheld materials; And the recognition that document ownership does not necessarily determine production obligations in discovery.  CPC Networks Corp. v McDougall Gauley LLP, 2023 SKCA 90 (CanLII), .

On today's show, I discuss the often misunderstood concept of agency, what it is, what it isn't, and why so many people unknowingly live without it. We explore how agency gets eroded through trauma, family systems, cultural roles, and relationship dynamics, including in kink and power exchange. I break down the difference between agency and control, autonomy, rebellion, and codependency, and offer real steps for reclaiming your voice and choices, even when it costs you. This episode isn't about having all the answers, it's about learning to ask the right questions so you can stop living on default and start living on purpose.Continue the discussion on Fetlife: @Enhanced-MindDon't forget to hit the follow button and rate my show 5 stars so others may find it.

The Halacha below was derived from multiple classes orated by Rabbi Eli Mansour in the Bekiim B'Halacha series. Click on any of the dates below to hear the original audio files, which are the sources for today's Halacha below. 05/14/25 ; 05/19/25 What Is the Requirement to Maintain Awareness While Wearing Tefillin—And Is It a Torah Obligation? The Tefillin are not just a physical Misva—they represent a spiritual bond between a Jew and Hashem. Because of this, Halacha includes laws about how we wear them and even how we think about them. Is there a Torah requirement to be aware of the Tefillin at all times while they are being worn? What level of mindfulness is expected, and what happens if one becomes distracted? Is There a Torah Obligation to Maintain Awareness of Tefillin? The Torah says, "Ukeshartam le'ot al yadecha"—"Bind them as a sign on your arm." The Misva is to place the Tefillin on the body, not necessarily to be constantly thinking about them. Therefore, according to many Rishonim, including the Rambam, the main obligation is the wearing of the Tefillin, not the awareness. However, the Gemara (Menahot 36a) mentions that one must not act lightheaded while wearing Tefillin—such as joking, sleeping, or entering a bathroom. These behaviors are prohibited because of the Kedusha of the Tefillin, not because of a Torah command to actively concentrate on them at all times. What Is 'Heseh HaDa'at' and Why Does It Matter? The term 'Heseh HaDa'at' means a lapse of awareness. In the context of Tefillin, this means forgetting that one is wearing them. While not sinful in itself, such forgetfulness may lead to disrespectful behavior. For example, one may lean back or act in a light manner—something that is forbidden while Tefillin are worn. According to the Mishnah Berurah, even though there is no Torah obligation to maintain constant focus, one must still be cautious not to behave in a way that shows a lack of reverence. That is why many people avoid doing work or even walking in a public place while wearing Tefillin if they know their mind will wander completely. Do I Have to Be Focused the Entire Time I Wear Tefillin? No. One does not need to meditate on the Tefillin throughout the entire Shaharit. It is expected that during Keri'at Shema and the Amida, a person will have proper Kavana (intent). Outside those moments, the level of focus may decrease, but one should avoid completely forgetting that the Tefillin are on. This is especially important for the Shel Rosh, which contains Hashem's Name in its inner scrolls. The Kedusha of the Tefillin Shel Rosh demands that one maintain a general awareness and respectful behavior the entire time it is worn. Can One Speak, Think, or Walk Around While Wearing Tefillin? Yes, it is permissible to talk, walk, and go about regular activities while wearing Tefillin—so long as one avoids behavior that is silly, disrespectful, or inappropriate. The Halacha only prohibits things like sleeping, joking, or entering a bathroom while wearing Tefillin. Hacham Ovadia Yosef writes that working, learning Torah, or even walking down the street while wearing Tefillin is allowed, as long as one remembers they are on and treats them with dignity. Summary - There is no Torah obligation to actively focus on the Tefillin at all times. - One must avoid forgetting about them entirely and behave respectfully. - The concept of Heseh HaDa'at is important for maintaining proper conduct. - Sleeping, joking, and entering inappropriate places are forbidden while wearing them. - Speaking or walking is allowed, so long as one behaves with Kedusha and awareness.

There's a powerful idea in the history of European legal and political thought: that laws must be possible for people to follow. Annabel Brett, professor of Political Thought and History at Cambridge University, describes how from ancient times through the Renaissance, thinkers believed that demanding the impossible—whether physically or psychologically—was a hallmark of tyranny. A classic example is Pharaoh in the Book of Exodus, who ordered the Israelites to make bricks without straw. Brett analyzes how legal thinkers balanced the need for law to be both realistic and aspirational, and how these ideas shaped the development of modern legal systems. Brett is joined by Princeton University's Melissa Lane for commentary. Series: "UC Berkeley Graduate Lectures" [Public Affairs] [Humanities] [Show ID: 40429]

In this powerful NAIDOC Week yarn, I sit down with Uncle Cheg—Gregory Egert—one of our most respected elders and lifelong advocates for community, culture, and education in Southeast Queensland. From growing up in Inala in the 1960s, to decades of service on community boards and as an inaugural Elder in Residence at QUT and now UQ, Uncle Cheg shares stories of resilience, responsibility, and staying grounded in culture. We talk about the early days of big community meetings (complete with the occasional flying chair), the importance of giving back, and how Aboriginal-led research is shaping better futures through the ARC Centre of Excellence for Indigenous Futures. Uncle Cheg reflects on what drives him to keep showing up for mob, why mentoring the next generation is non-negotiable, and his hopes and concerns for our young people as they step into a fast-changing world. Whether you’re mob, an ally, or someone wanting to understand more about what genuine community leadership looks like, this episode is a heartfelt reminder—especially during NAIDOC Week—that our culture, our stories, and our obligations endure. Tune in to hear Uncle Cheg’s wisdom on belonging, legacy, and the power of lifting each other up.

This episode of Bioethics in the Margins features a panel of bioethicists: Danielle Pacia of The Hastings Center, Sana Baban of UMass Chan Medical School, J. Wesley Boyd of Harvard Medical School, and Ryan Dougherty of Kaiser Permanente. They are the co-authors of a national survey exploring the role of social justice in their field, published in the American Journal of Bioethics: Empirical Bioethics. In this conversation, the authors discuss their key findings on what social justice obligations bioethicists feel they have, the concept of "social bioethics," and the duty of the field to address systemic injustice. We start by defining the term "social justice" and discussing how it relates to the four principles of bioethics. We spend some time unpacking the methods of the study including strengths and limitations. The main finding - that >80% of bioethicists surveyed believe that social justice should be part of their work - is contextualized by exploring how social justice can add information and objectivity to our work. The episode ends with some reflections by the authors on how we can move forward in the field with these important tools.Work cited in this episode: Pacia DM, Baban SS, Fletcher FE, Mithani Aziz Z, Cooper JF, Boyd JW, Dougherty RJ.

Chuck Todd begins with Zohran Mamdani's stunning victory over Andrew Cuomo in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary. He points to Mamdani's cost of living messaging and youth as major factors in the victory, but cautions the party against embracing the “socialist” label, and wonders whether the party establishment will embrace or shun Mamdani.Then, Chuck is joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas, who shares his deeply personal journey of living as an undocumented immigrant in America and how it shaped his perspective on one of the nation's most divisive issues. Vargas, who publicly revealed his undocumented status over a decade ago, discusses the atmospheric shift in immigration discourse under Trump, the bipartisan failures that have plagued reform efforts, and why he believes coming out as gay was actually easier than revealing his immigration status. He offers a unique insider's view of working at major outlets like the Washington Post while hiding his legal status, living in constant fear of deportation.The conversation delves into the broader media and political landscape surrounding immigration, with Vargas arguing that Democrats have failed to provide a positive counter-narrative to right-wing messaging that has made anti-immigration sentiment central to Republican identity. He challenges both parties for using immigration as a political football rather than addressing the human reality of 40 million people of Mexican heritage living in America. Vargas advocates for journalism that goes beyond economic impact stories to humanize immigrants' experiences, while grappling with the tension between objective reporting and advocacy journalism. The discussion also touches on America's demographic future, the need for immigrant labor to offset declining birth rates, and whether the nation can reconcile its identity as both a country of immigrants and a Judeo-Christian society.Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment regarding the viral Ted Cruz vs Tucker Carlson interview and addresses the conspiracy theory that Starlink hacked voting machines in the 2024 election.Timeline: (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction01:00 Zohran Mamdani beats Andrew Cuomo in NYC mayoral primary02:30 Multiple possible explanations for Mamdani's victory03:30 Cost of living messaging resonated04:30 This will supercharge the young vs old debate in the party05:30 Will the “democratic socialism” label become a liability for the party?08:00 Moderates rallying around Cuomo made no sense09:00 This should be a wake up call for the Democratic establishment10:00 Democratic voters are looking for “new”11:45 Mamdani fired first shot in battle to rebrand the party13:30 Rallying around Eric Adams would be a bad move for the establishment15:30 Mamdani needs to expand his tent17:30 The big tent illusion - Both parties claim to be "big tent" but aren't 19:15 It's hard to not have a "label" in our current politics 21:00 The Republican party has become a cult of personality 21:45 Politicians can't ever agree with the other side 22:30 The only politicians with a big tent approach are governors 25:00 The coalition that elected Trump is big tent, he isn't governing like it 26:30 Our politics would be healthier if there was four parties 28:00 Politics wasn't designed to be winner-take-all 29:30 Bipartisanship would produce better, more durable legislation 33:30 John Cornyn may drop out, but only if he can stop Ken Paxton 35:45 If Ken Paxton is the nominee, Democrats could win the TX senate seat 37:00 Center-right voters in Texas are homeless 37:45 The TikTok extension via executive order is illegal 38:30 Donald Trump has refused to enforce the law with TikTok 39:45 Politicians are fearful of alienating TikTok users41:30 Jose Antonio Vargas joins the Chuck ToddCast! 42:00 What year did you go public with your undocumented status? 44:00 The atmospheric shift around immigration under Trump 45:30 George W.

Political violence is never OK. So after the horrible news out of Minnesota, Mary and Andrew begin with a breakdown of the federal charges against the man accused of murdering a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband and attempting to murder several others.Next, they move to an explainer of an appeals court ruling that temporarily blocked a lower court decision ordering the control of the California National Guard back to the state, while tying in the scuffle during Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's press conference last week as Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed and handcuffed. And rounding out this episode, Andrew and Mary note Trump's failed attempt to appeal the $5 million judgement in the E Jean Carroll case, and the arguments heard last week on his attempt to remove his NY state hush money case to a federal court.Want to listen to this show without ads?

His courage in fighting these unlawful mandates helped secure federal injunctions that protected thousands of service members across all branches of the military.We also explore how the COVID mandate fight opened our eyes to the need for true independence, not just from government overreach, but from the financial systems that make coercion possible.

Patrick answers questions about honoring parents after messy divorces, explains why bishops and cardinals wear certain colors, and clears up confusion between the titles of priest and pastor—all while fielding calls on everything from tattoos to Communion postures. He speaks directly, weaving together hard truths about faith, modern culture, and Church teaching, then quickly pivots to offer solid advice on end-of-life care and staying grounded during secular challenges. Marie (email) - What does our faith teach about the obligations, if any, of a child of divorce to have any relationship with their parent, especially after a high conflict divorce which has gotten very “sticky”? (00:42) Justin - What is the meaning behind the garb and coloring of priestly robes? (05:14) Stan - I heard you say if you are not ready for Communion don’t go up and cross your arms, just sit down. I thought you should remain standing. (14:20) Carlos – I’m travelling on vacation. The Archdiocese I’m visiting has a different Holy Day of Obligation from my home diocese. Whose rule do I adhere to? (21:10) Jake - As person of faith, I see Catholics and Christians hated upon. How do we deal with the persecution we see in our culture? (22:51) Joe - Can you share the difference between critical thinking and being critical? Chris - The solution to our debt could be to have more kids because it increases the national revenue base and taxes. (33:38) Greg – I’m filling out my will have a question about DNR (38:11) Maureen - I have noticed that face painting and tattoos have increased in the last 30 years. Is there a relationship between kids having their face painted and getting tattoos later in life? (42:19) Mike - If you weren't a cradle Catholic, would you have found the Catholic Church? (48:38)
