What if rooting for the Knicks and rallying behind a nation-state are powered by the exact same part of the human brain? On this episode of Bro History, Henry and Danny are joined by Frankie Donnelly from South Philly — and yes, Frankie is an AI research co-host powered by maneku (maneku.ai) — to break down one of the most fascinating and disturbing parallels in modern life: sports fandom as a mirror of nationalism. It starts with the Knicks' electric playoff run taking over New York City, spirals into a deleted newspaper article comparing the OKC Thunder to the state of Israel, and ends somewhere between Mussolini's Italy and a pep rally. They dig into why MSG unites Orthodox Jews and Arab New Yorkers in a way Congress never could, why Knicks fans sacking Philadelphia felt like a Mongolian conquest, and how the same psychological machinery that makes you weep over a playoff loss is the same thing authoritarian regimes have weaponized for centuries — from Hitler's Nuremberg rallies to the 1978 Argentine World Cup. Frankie drops facts, pulls receipts, and says the uncomfortable quiet part out loud — all in real time. That's maneku. Try it yourself at maneku.ai.

Paul is saying, v3, he came ‘in weakness and fear and much trembling'. Why? Perhaps because even here in pagan Corinth, Paul is also facing up to educated Orthodox Jews, trained as he had been, who rejected the crucified Messiah and persecuted His followers. So he's ‘in weakness', because he wants to present something he hadn't been brought up with, that he himself had violently rejected, but was more powerful than anything he'd ever known. He didn't use wise and persuasive words - no, he came with a demonstration of the Spirit's Power! Why? So that their faith might not rest on men's wisdom but on God's Power! What we need in our Christian ministry is a practical demonstration of God's Power. Not just words. I was a pastor for 15 years. One day God said to me, “I'm tired of listening to you. Stop talking. Go out and put into practice what you preach. And don't come back until you've done it!” That's why I've spent 60 years of my life ‘out there', doing it. And I'm still doing it!  I take the Book literally. I want to do what the Book, the Word of God says. Jesus commanded His disciples, preach the Gospel, heal the sick, raise the dead! That's what I've been doing. Everywhere I go I preach the Gospel, heal the sick, bind the devil's power simply by preaching Christ.  I've seen the most incredible demonstration of the Spirit's Power. Has anyone seen anything like it? I've seen so many miracles of healing, and so many come into full-time ministry, just because they have seen and experienced the demonstration of God's Power.

Ask most Jews what their favourite holiday is and you'll hear Hannukah, Passover, Purim, Sukkot—maybe even Yom Kippur for some diehards. But despite being one of the big three holidays in the Hebrew Bible, the upcoming festival of Shavuot doesn't usually make the cut. Which is a shame, because some of its themes feel more relevant than ever. Today, Shavuot is about nationhood, covenant and belonging. It's a time to commemorate the biblical revelation at Sinai, when the Israelites were forged into a national collective through an eternal covenant with God. It's also the festival when Jews read the Book of Ruth, which tells the story of what it means to be part of the Jewish people in a very different way. Today on Not in Heaven, we discuss a new white paper from the Shalom Hartman Institute called “Building Communities of Belonging: Jewish Identity, Conversion, Intermarriage, and Adjacency.” Its goal is to help empower Jewish communities to speak openly about, and set policies around, Jewish status and affiliation in a way that feels aligned with a community's norms and values. According to the Pew Research Center, among Jews who married between 2010 and 2020, 61 percent are intermarried; when Orthodox Jews are omitted, that rate jumps to 72 percent. Contrary to historic assumptions, many families of mixed heritage remain committed, active participants in Jewish community life. One implication, the paper proposes, is the emergence of a whole new population of individuals we might call "Jewish adjacent"—including the networks of spouses, grandparents, family members, and others who are deeply involved in the Jewish community, but who neither identify as Jewish nor have Jewish status conferred upon them by the community. Nonetheless, they may be raising Jewish children, serving on synagogue boards or teaching in Jewish institutions, attending seders and shiva, and regularly dedicating their personal resources, time and labour to Jewish communal activities and causes. How can Jewish communities have open and honest conversations about competing notions of identity, status, membership, and belonging in the Jewish community?

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 18th of May, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in Psalm 37:31: ”The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.” Then we go to 1 Corinthians 11:25. Jesus says: “This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” I am talking about Holy Communion. It's very important for us to remember the ordinances, commandments, and laws of God. That is what keeps you and me on the straight road, on the right road. Do you know what a phylactery is? A phylactery is something that the Orthodox Jews use when they have time with the Lord. Many years ago, I was flying in an Israeli airline to Jerusalem, and an Orthodox Jew was sitting across the aisle from me, and during the night, I saw him get up and put a shawl around his head. He took a leather band and he put it around his left hand with a little box on it. He took another leather band, put it around his head, with a little box on his forehead, and inside those two little boxes are Holy Scriptures. He does it during his quiet time. Why? Because he wants to remember the Lord, his God. Now, Jesus said every time you and I have Holy Communion, we do it and we remember what Christ has done for us. Gill and I have communion often, on our own, in the house. Maybe after breakfast, sometimes maybe after lunch, depending on our situation, just the two of us. And we take bread, we break it, and we remember the body of Christ broken for us, and then we take the cup, a little glass of grape juice, and we remember the blood of Jesus shed so that our sins would be washed away. We need to remember and not forget what the Lord has done for us.Many years ago when I was a man of twenty years old, I was a cowboy. I was in Australia. When we knocked off work, these were rough and tough men, but the salt of the earth, we would go into the local pub and there'd be a lot of chatting and talking and smoking, etc. Then all of a sudden, six o'clock every single night, everybody would become quiet, and there would be a little light in one corner of the pub, and then a voice would come over, ”Lest we forget. Let us remember.” We would stand there for, I don't know how long it was, maybe a minute or two, and remember all the fallen soldiers that had died for the Australian people, and they would stand there. Not one person would say a word (because if anybody did it could probably cost him his life), but they remembered those that had given their lives for their country.You and I need to remember that Jesus Christ died for us on the cross of Calvary so that we might have everlasting life.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day and don't forget. Goodbye.

Many on social media pointed to the case of a housing association specifically for Orthodox Jews that went all the way to the Supreme Court. To explain what the case was, and how the law around it works, Adam Fleming spoke to Sarah Steinhardt, a barrister from Doughty Street Chambers.

To this lost world, there is little to no distinction made between biblically born again Christians and members of cult and fringe groups like the Roman Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah's Witness and Seventh Day Adventists. To them, it's all the same, it's all Christianity. So for the sake of our discussion today, we will label all of it as “professing Christianity”. That said, there is a verifiable rise on Christians in Israel at the hands of radical Orthodox Jews, and it grows worse by the day. In our story today, we see a Roman Catholic nun kicked to the ground by Orthodox Jews, and this is just the tip of the end times iceberg.“As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.” Romans 11:28 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the attacker was not some nameless shadow from a vague “troubled region.” Israeli police arrested a 36-year-old Jewish suspect, and AP reported that the assailant seen in the video was wearing tzitzit, the fringes worn by observant Jewish men. AP also noted that Christian leaders and organizations have been warning of a growing trend of violence and harassment against Christian clergy and pilgrims, often by ultra-Orthodox Jewish youth. There it is. Not rumor, not propaganda, not replacement theology hysteria. A documented pattern. The Rossing Center's reporting on attacks against Christians in Israel and East Jerusalem says that in known 2024 cases, the perpetrators were Jewish individuals, “primarily young men from ultra-Orthodox and national-religious circles,” driven by a mix of nationalist fervor and religious extremism, especially among ultra-Orthodox nationalist groups. The 2024 report documented 111 incidents, including physical attacks, attacks on church properties, harassment, and defacement, while coverage of the report noted that most victims were clergy or people wearing visible Christian symbols. The Rossing Center's 2025 report says the harassment and violence are continuing to escalate across Israel and East Jerusalem. Your King James Bible clearly says that this lost world is preparing itself to receive Antichrist in the coming “strong delusion”. Today we bring you everything you need to know about the Jews, Christians, cults and the scripture of truth.

“We can survive. Can we thrive? That's a different question.” — Corey NathanRobert Mueller died last week. Educated at Princeton, this Vietnam veteran won a Purple Heart and then enjoyed decades of public service under presidents of both parties. But the current president celebrated Mueller's death. Such are the vagaries of American history.In contrast, Corey Nathan — host of the Talking Politics and Religion Without Killing Each Other podcast — isn't celebrating Robert Mueller's death. Nathan is from suburban northern Los Angeles County, very much at the heart of the (mythical?) American center. We discussed whether it's possible to have a civic conversation anymore. Like so many Americans, Nathan falls back on what he calls “data.” Apparently 85% of Americans are what a recent study calls the “exhausted majority.” They see themselves as anything but extreme. All they want to do is take the kids to soccer practice, enjoy their barbecue, and talk to the neighbour without the conversation degenerating into verbal war.Nathan's own story offers hope. He grew up in an Orthodox Jewish family whose roots go back eight hundred years to what is now Chernihiv in Ukraine. In his late twenties, he became a born-again Christian. His father seriously considered sitting Shiva for him — the mourning ritual for a dead family member. But he valued his relationship with his son more than his theological convictions. Twenty-five years later, the conversations are richer than ever. If an Orthodox Jewish father and his born-again Christian son can keep talking, maybe even the current American President could sit Shiva for Robert Mueller. Five Takeaways•       85% of Americans Are the Exhausted Majority: The Hidden Tribes study by More in Common found that only 6–7% on the right and 7–8% on the left are what we'd think of as extremes. The rest — 85% — are far more nuanced in their views. They want to go to the barbecue, take the kids to soccer practice, and have a conversation with the neighbour without it turning into a war. The conflict entrepreneurs on both sides have taken all the oxygen.•       Mueller Was Everything We Say We Want in Our Kids: Purple Heart. Ivy League education. Used his degrees for public service instead of money. Served under presidents of both parties. Stayed on at the FBI after 9/11 when the country needed him. And the current president said he was glad he died.•       ICE Came to the Neighbouring Church: Nathan's pastor had to have the conversation: if ICE comes, they're welcome to worship — but here are our legal obligations. A suburban mom was shot in her front seat two months ago. Is anything visibly wrong in the American suburbs? Today, at his house, no. But these things are happening all over the country.•       His Father Almost Sat Shiva for Him: Nathan grew up in an Orthodox Jewish family. In his late twenties, he became a born-again Christian. His father seriously considered performing the mourning ritual for a living son. But he valued the relationship with his child more than his theological convictions. Twenty-five years later, the conversations are richer than ever.•       We Can Survive. Can We Thrive? Nathan's family lived in what is now Chernihiv, Ukraine, for eight hundred years. One day to the next, nothing changed — until the Cossacks burned the houses and the Bolsheviks came. Democracy isn't perfect, but it's the system that lets us thrive, not just survive. About the GuestCorey Nathan is the host and producer of Talking Politics and Religion Without Killing Each Other, a top 1% podcast.

For 1,900 years the Jews wandered Europe as refugees, outcasts, and rebels. They hated the Christians that claimed their Messiah, their Patriarchs, and their promises. They slaughtered Christians and burned Christian Churches when the Persians captured Jerusalem in 614. They kidnapped and murdered the children of Christian parents for passover rituals. They charged exorbitant interest and traded debt, often getting them kicked out by the Christian monarchs.Across the centuries the Jewish people survived, but rarely thrived. Expulsions from England, France, and Spain, recurring pogroms in Eastern Europe, and the slow suffocation of life inside ghettos hardened a scattered people into a nation without a state. By the late nineteenth century, with the old order of empires breaking apart and nationalism sweeping Europe many Jews concluded that survival in exile would always be precarious. The modern Zionist movement emerged from this realization: if every nation sought a homeland, the Jews would need one as well. Waves of immigration began to return Jews to the supposed land of their fathers, and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after the First World War created the first political opening in centuries. What had once been a memory in scripture and prayer was slowly becoming a geopolitical project.Among some Orthodox Jews, this return to the land awakened an older and far more radical hope: that the restoration of Israel was not merely political, but preparatory. If the people had returned and Jerusalem was again under Jewish control, then the ancient center of worship—the Temple itself—might one day rise again on the mount where it had stood for nearly a thousand years.Religious Judaism needs a temple. For two thousand years there have been no high priests to offer sacrifices, no altar for the Day of Atonement, no priestly system capable of carrying out the commands of the Torah as they were once practiced. For many religious Jews the absence of the Temple is not merely symbolic; it is an unfinished chapter of history waiting to be restored. Yet the question does not stop in Jerusalem. In modern politics, the loudest and most consistent supporters of Israel have often been American evangelicals, many of whom also see prophetic meaning in the rebuilding of the Temple. If a serious movement to build a Third Temple were to emerge, would those same Christians support it—and perhaps more importantly, should they?SPONSORS:iTrustCapital - Want to diversify your retirement beyond stocks and bonds? iTrustCapital lets you buy and sell Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, and silver inside a tax-advantaged account.Sign up and fund a new account to receive a $100 funding bonus:https://www.itrustcapital.com/go/nxrstudiosPaleovalley – If you're trying to eat clean but still need something convenient, these 100% grass-fed beef sticks are a solid option.

Why Egalitarian Prayer at the Western Wall is at Risk

Israel's Supreme Court ordered the government on Feb. 19 to complete long-delayed renovations to Robinson's Arch, the official egalitarian prayer section just south of the main Western Wall. For years, it's where non-Orthodox Jews, including women, can pray together, and also read from a Torah scroll. But what began as a ruling about construction permits has quickly become something bigger. Members of Israel's governing coalition are advancing legislation this week that would effectively bring the broader Kotel site, including Robinson's Arch, under the authority of the ultra-Orthodox Chief Rabbinate. The law could mean prison terms of up to seven years for anyone deemed to be desecrating the holy site — and observers fear the new proposal could ban any alternative forms of Jewish prayer around Judaism's holiest place. This raises a deeper question: where does that leave millions of Jews, especially outside of Israel, who are not Orthodox? On today's episode of The CJN's “North Star” podcast, Toronto Rabbi Elyse Goldstein joins host Ellin Bessner to explore what's at stake. The Rabbi is a longtime advocate for pluralistic prayer, for women's place in Judaism, and a supporter of the Women of the Wall movement's decades-long struggle for equality at the Kotel.

Author Kylie Ora Lobell joins Bridget for a thoughtful conversation about her book, Choosing to Be Chosen, which tells the story of her conversion from atheist to Orthodox Jew. Kylie's shift from atheism was sparked by a melting warmth she recognized as God at a Shabbat dinner, and it led her on a five-year journey of embracing kosher laws, rituals, the challenges of conversion, and a profound trust in God amid life's darkest questions (like child suffering and October 7th). They discuss why taking care of yourself is a Godly instinct, how most Americans in general are not that exposed to Judaism, resilience, mourning, introversion and extroversion, child-rearing, seeing the Godliness in everyone, why you really step into gender roles when you're a parent, the importance of finding a community, and why Kylie thinks finding God and faith regardless of religion is a good thing for everyone. ----------------------------------------------------------------------Sponsor Links:- Try Qualia Stem for up to 50% off at qualialife.com/BRIDGET and use the code BRIDGET for an additional 15% off your order - https://bit.ly/WiW-Qualia- Quest offers 100+ lab tests to empower you to have more control over your health journey.

Every time you say "I am a Christian" or "I am a Jew," are you limiting God in you?Dr. Moshe Daniel breaks down why the Jewish people were chosen to build the vessel for God to incarnate into humanity—and why that mission was supposed to end 2,000 years ago when Christ came. This conversation goes beyond religious debate into the Aramonic impulse keeping us attached to separating identities and why your "I am" statements are either liberation or limitation.What you'll learn:Why the Jewish covenant was meant to break open, not continueHow every identity you attach to "I am" restricts the divine in youThe difference between ego's cage and soul's true natureDr. Moshe Daniel went from Orthodox Jew to teaching the esoteric truth that runs through all wisdom traditions. After severe illness broke down his ego and religious identity, he discovered what Judaism never taught him: that his fundamental nature isn't the beliefs, body, or mind he's inhabiting—it's the pure "I am" consciousness beyond all labels.Find Dr. Moshe's video series "Israel's Unfinished Covenant”at dr-moshe.com and all links at: mindlove.com/440Ready to practice releasing your limiting identities with a supportive community?

The American Jewish philanthropic enterprise is unparalleled in scope, dynamism, and the diversity of funders and the causes they support. Yet even as Jewish giving has been largely successful in responding with alacrity to emergencies, it has been subjected to severe criticism. What once was regarded as a point of pride has become the object of scorn and dismissal, with skepticism--if not harsh criticism--about its work rife both within and outside Jewish communal circles. Based on 320 interviews with professionals at Jewish not-for-profits across the United States, principals of foundations and their top staff personnel, and also tax filings of major foundations, Jewish Giving: Philanthropy and the Shaping of American Jewish Life (NYU Press, 2025) provides readers with fresh perspectives to evaluate the efforts of Jewish donors, large and small. The book traces the evolution of Jewish giving from the colonial era to the present, charting the changing profile of those who give to Jewish causes and what funders have aimed to achieve through their largesse. It makes the case that philanthropy serves as a prism through which broader themes in communal life are illuminated. As society or politics change, the priorities of charitable giving adjust in response. These changes in targeted funding can help to sharpen our understanding of demographic and social patterns. Devoting much attention to twenty-first century developments in contemporary Jewish giving, the book pays special attention to the changing landscape of donors who are remaking Jewish philanthropy, including women, Orthodox Jews, Sephardi givers, and young funders.

ToI founding editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg for today’s episode. As Israel’s Supreme Court demanded the government justify its reasons for not establishing a state commission of inquiry into the events that led to the October 7 Hamas invasion and massacres in southern Israel, Horovitz discusses how the government’s current approach will not uncover what went wrong, creating a dangerous precedent for the country. The High Court also ordered the government to create effective enforcement measures against ultra-Orthodox draft dodgers, and Horovitz discusses the ruling written by High Court justice Noam Sohlberg, who rebuked the Haredi community and its assertion that Torah study outweighs army service, citing the ultra-Orthodox Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik.
