Rav Kook's Vision: Halakhah, Secular Knowledge, and the Renewal of Judaism. Those of us who know something about Rabbi Abraham Isaac HaKohen Kook's life and philosophy know about his being stuck outside of the Land of Israel during WWI, being the first Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of British Mandatory Palestine, and his encouragement of the secular Zionists who turned swamps into vegetation. But not many of us have analyzed the personal notebooks that the Rav left, commonly known as Shemonah Kevatzim (eight collections). Recently, I had the privilege of sitting down with Professor Marc B. Shapiro author of the acclaimed new book, Renewing the Old, Sanctifying the New: The Unique Vision of Rav Kook (Littman Library, 2025). Our conversation ranged from the philosophical underpinnings of Rav Kook's thought to its relevance for modern Orthodoxy and contemporary Jewish life. Using the notebooks and other information Marc B. Shapiro's Renewing the Old, Sanctifying the New offers a window into the philosophical heart of Rav Kook's approach to halakhah and secular knowledge, using Rav Kook's own words to illuminate his radical, yet deeply rooted, vision for modern Judaism. I found it important to use those words and quotes when discussing the topic with Professor Shapiro. Rav Kook's words speak volumes – and you'll hear them throughout the interview.

On June 8th - in the midst of the Trump indictment - the Super Supremes decided an important issue dealing with section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. In Allen V. Milligan, the Court affirmed a district court's determination that Alabama's congressional map likely violates section 2. The majority opinion came as a surprise to many because it was authored by Chief Justices Roberts, who has a track record of being hostile to the VRA. Professor Carolyn Shapiro of the Chicago-Kent College of Law joined me to discussed the opinion. Professor Shapiro is the founder and co-director of Chicago-Kent's Institute on the Supreme Court of the United States (ISCOTUS). She has appeared on MSNBC, NPR, and C-SPAN, and her commentary has been featured in the Washington Post, The Hill, CNN, and SCOTUSblog, Professor Shapiro co-authored an amicus brief in Milligan on behalf of members of the Congressional Black Caucus.Enjoy the discussion.****Check out the Florida Bar's new mentoring program: Counsel to Counsel.

James Shapiro obtained his medical degree from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, and trained in surgery at the University of Bristol. After coming to Canada in 1993, he received training in liver transplantation and hepatobiliary surgery at the University of Alberta, and earned a PhD in Experimental Surgery. Shapiro developed a brand new approach to optimize islet cell transplant engraftment that involved a radical departure from previous practice. Of almost 300 islet transplants attempted before 1999, fewer than 10% of these worked in patients. His protocol was designed to address many of the previous shortcomings by transplanting sufficient numbers of islets into the liver by using multiple donors, and by testing a novel anti-rejection strategy that avoided steroids and allowed the transplanted islets to work at their best. The result became known internationally as the ‘Edmonton Protocol.' Shapiro led the clinical team that tested his approach in seven initial patients, all of whom (100%) were able to discontinue the need for insulin injections for periods beyond a year. He was the lead author in the landmark paper published in July, 2000 that described these results. Since then, he and his team have transplanted almost 300 Canadians and have continued to refine and optimize the protocol. This treatment has been replicated many times internationally, and over 2000 patients worldwide have now received islet transplants using the backbone of his protocol. A large ‘registration' trial conducted in Canada and the USA reported its positive findings in 2016 in the Journal Diabetes Care. Countries including England, Scotland, France, Switzerland, Australia, and Canada have approved and funded islet transplantation as part of ‘standard of care' for patients with brittle, difficult-to-control, forms of Type 1 diabetes. Since the development of the Edmonton Protocol, he has led or co-led three major ongoing international multicentre clinical trials to further improve islet transplantation outcomes. He leads the Edmonton team, which is the largest islet transplantation team worldwide. Shapiro also led the first-in-human stem cell transplant trials in Edmonton, Canada in 2014, and continues to refine stem cell transplantation approaches in patients. So far these studies are proving both promising and safe when tested in Canadians. In his basic science laboratory, Professor Shapiro developed a new means to transplant cells beneath the skin by using a temporary tube to induce new blood vessels to grow. Before then, islet transplants beneath the skin failed universally, but this treatment is now known as the ‘Deviceless Technique'. In liver transplantation research, Shapiro and his team recently conducted two trials in Edmonton of a new machine designed to incubate and keep donated human livers alive outside the body before transplantation. This technology is radically altering our ability to rescue damaged livers and provide safer livers for transplant. It is also allowing these transplants to happen during regular daylight hours. Professor Shapiro further led a cross-Canadian research team to test similar technologies in heart, lung, kidney and pancreas transplantations as part of the Canadian National Transplant Research Project.  His busy research lab is currently working on more than 30 projects and 15 human clinical trials. One is an exciting immune reset trial. In this study, people newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes are given a combination of targeted medications designed to reset their immune system and repair the pancreas. Besides maintaining an active immunology/transplant research laboratory, Dr. Shapiro has a busy clinical practice specializing in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, surgical oncology, as well as transplant surgery, and was featured in an internationally acclaimed movie about organ transplantation called ‘Memento Mori.' A shorter length version of this called ‘Vital Bonds' was aired last year across Canada by the CBC's David Suzuki's 'The Nature of Things'. An edited version called ‘Transplanting Hope' has been aired across the USA as part of PBS. This movie is helping to raise awareness about organ donation.

“As rational beings and moral agents, it's incumbent on us to use our faculties to the best of our abilities.” Philosophy professors Steven Nadler and Lawrence Shapiro are here, discussing their new book When Bad Thinking Happens to Good People. In it, they show how we can more readily spot and avoid flawed arguments and unreliable information; determine whether evidence supports or contradicts an idea; distinguish between merely believing something and knowing it; and much more. In doing so, the book reveals how epistemology, which addresses the nature of belief and knowledge, and ethics, the study of moral principles that should govern our behavior, can reduce bad thinking. Moreover, the book shows why philosophy's millennia-old advice about how to lead a good, rational, and examined life is essential for escaping our current predicament. Support Talking Beats with Daniel Lelchuk. Professor Nadler's research focuses on philosophy in the seventeenth century. He has written extensively on Descartes and Cartesianism, Spinoza, and Leibniz. He also works on medieval and early modern Jewish philosophy. His publications include Spinoza: A Life (Cambridge, 1999; second edition, 2018); The Best of All Possible Worlds: A Story of Philosophers, God, and Evil (Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, 2008; paperback, Princeton 2010); The Cambridge History of Jewish Philosophy: From Antiquity through the Seventeenth Century (2009), co-edited with Tamar Rudavsky; A Book Forged in Hell: Spinoza's Scandalous Treatise and the Birth of the Secular Age (Princeton, 2011) and The Philosopher, the Priest, and the Painter: A Portrait of Descartes (Princeton, 2013). Heretics: The Wondrous (and Dangerous) Beginnings of Modern Philosophy (Princeton University Press), a graphic book (with Ben Nadler), was published in 2017. His most recent books are Menasseh ben Israel: Rabbi of Amsterdam (“Jewish Lives”, Yale, 2018) and Think Least of Death: Spinoza on How to Live and How to Die (Princeton, 2020). He is also co-editor of The Oxford Handbook to Descartes and Cartesianism (2019), among other volumes. Professor Shapiro's research spans philosophy of mind and philosophy of psychology. Within philosophy of mind he has focused on issues related to reduction, especially concerning the thesis of multiple realization. His books The Mind Incarnate (MIT, 2004) and The Multiple Realization Book (co-authored with Professor Thomas Polger at U. of Cincinnati, Oxford University Press, 2016) as well as articles in The Journal of Philosophy, Philosophy of Science, and Philosophy and Phenomenological Research examine these issues. His interests in philosophy of psychology include topics in computational theories of vision, evolutionary psychology, and embodied cognition. He's published numerous articles on these topics in journals such as The Philosophical Review, British Journal for Philosophy of Science, and Philosophy of Science. His book, Embodied Cognition (Routledge Press), received the American Philosophical Association's Joseph B. Gittler Award for best book in philosophy of the social sciences (2013) and is now in its second edition (2019). His recent interest in philosophy of religion resulted in The Miracle Myth: Why Belief in the Resurrection and the Supernatural is Unjustified (Columbia University Press, 2016).

In Non-Compliant Episode 34, Host Jay Edelson, nationally recognized plaintiff's attorney and Founder of Edelson PC, is joined by Professor Carolyn Shapiro, the founder and co-director of Chicago-Kent's Institute on the Supreme Court of the United States (ISCOTUS).To start the show, Jay and Carolyn discuss the monumental decisions to come out of the most recent Supreme Court Session. According to Carolyn, the Chief Justices relied on their hallmark move— making decisions that do not appear to be earth shattering, but contain the seeds for significant applications and legal changes (4:20).Next, Jay and Carolyn discuss the confirmation process (14:30). For Jay, confirmation hearings seem inconsequential, as nominees know the questions they're going to be asked, and the correct way to answer them. Because of this, it's hard to determine a candidate's actual judicial philosophy.Later in the show, the extreme significance of the Supreme Court's decisions on average Americans is discussed (31:00). Professor Shapiro notes that she was particularly upset about the voting rights decision that came down at the end of the term, which essentially re-wrote the voting rights act to make it extraordinarily difficult to challenge voting restrictions that benefit Republicans and hurt Democrats (31:30).To end the show, Jay and Carolyn discuss TransUnion, which looks at Article III standing (38:00). According to Carolyn, TransUnion is notable for two reasons: (1) it makes it harder to establish a class in a case, and (2) it expands court's authority at the expense of Congress (40:00).

On our fourth episode of season 3, Professor Shapiro welcomes back Professor Carl Van Horn to discuss the newest survey from The Heldrich Center on Workforce Development. Surprisingly, survey results showed that the public shares widespread agreement regarding the state of the economy and what the response to joblessness should be. There is also a persistent concern that for the first time in memory, future generations may be worse off than their parents. Van Horn and Shapiro then delve into the priorities for economic policy at the federal and state level with regards to joblessness and economic security. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ejbtalks/message

A winner of an episode, this is the last in a series of interviews for Richard's upcoming Understanding Viruses book. Professor James A. Shapiro treats listeners to his thoughts on virus behaviors and characteristics gleaned from researching virus-host relationships and virus-cell interactions. Listen and learn How virus evolution over time is really a story of the weaving of life systems pulling from all directions, What are surprising characteristics of viruses such as primordial vector activity, how frequently viruses lend advantages to their hosts, and other significant virus evolution impact factors, and How to consider if viruses are living or nonliving and why Professor Shapiro pushes for a more non reductionist view on the origin and evolution of viruses . James Shapiro is a professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Chicago. In addition to numerous publications, he's a part of the website The Third Way of Evolution, which considers evolution in the era of genomics and epigenomics. As Richard holds this final interview to investigate how viruses persist, James Shapiro offers his own fascinating answers to questions such as are viruses alive, do they participate in quorum-sensing, and why so many differing incubation periods. For example, not only are endogenous retroviruses responsible for mammal placenta formation, these retroviral proteins are unique for each order of mammal. This diverges from the classic view of evolution that starts with a characteristic branching out into other organisms. It's as if "the placenta was invented over and over again," he adds. As he addresses the huge variety in viral behavior, he says that many factors determine this variety—viruses can recombine with each other, for example, and produce recombinant viruses. The holobiont model exemplifies this: a large organism like a human isn't just human cells but also microbial cells living on and in us. We can think of viruses in our genome as holobiont elements: we should take a systemic view of entity development, with mosaics and amalgams determining multiple aspects of life. He adds, "we can't reduce what happens in life to some simple formula that is good for every from of life, because variety is an inherent aspect of the living world." Listen in for more rich conversation about the stuff of life.  For more about James A. Shapiro, see his website: shapiro.bsd.uchicago.edu.  Available on Apple Podcasts: apple.co/2Os0myK

This week we discuss the only story in the news: the Covid-19 pandemic. But first, I recently spoke with Professor Susan Shapiro of the American Bar Foundation about her recent book, Speaking for the Dying: Life-and-Death Decisions in Intensive Care. Professor Shapiro studies the complex context people navigate to make treatment decisions for others in intensive care. The result: An illuminating revelation of the challenges people encounter, and some helpful adjustments we can make in how we approach the prospect of speaking for others in such emotionally difficult times. Segment 1 -- Susan Shapiro on Speaking for the Dying: Life-and-Death Decisions in Intensive Care. Segment 2 -- Reflections on the only story in the news--and what we must remember as it is often treated it as such.

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Professor Sidney Shapiro, of Wake Forest Law School, to discuss climate change, the Center for Progressive Reform, and the notion of finding climate justice through our courts.   Decades worth of politicians’ and energy companies’ refusal to act on climate change has seemingly guaranteed that every family and community, now and in the future, will suffer at least some harm from a global climate change. As a result of this, a growing number of victims of climate-related disasters are turning to the courts to hold wrongdoers accountable. Aaron and Sid talk about this new wave of litigation and the mounting lawsuits being filed across our country, specifically discussing the importance of tort law. In today’s episode, Sid and Aaron tackle the complexities of establishing liability, Sid’s latest report on climate justice – “Climate Justice: State Courts and the Fight for Equity” – wildfires in California and flooding in Houston, as well as environmental protection laws and the developing improvements happening in attribution science.    A graduate from Penn’s Carey Law School, Professor Shapiro is one of the country’s leading experts in administrative procedure and regulatory policy. He has written ten books, contributed chapters to seven additional books, authored or co-authored over fifty-five articles, and is currently working on a book about administrative expertise. Sid has been a consultant to government agencies and has testified before Congress on regulatory subjects. Before his time at Wake Forest, Sid taught at the University of Kansas where he was a distinguished professor. Prior to teaching, Sid was a trial attorney with the Federal Trade Commission and Deputy Legal Counsel of the Secretary’s Review Panel at the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.   Sid is the Vice-President of the Center for Progressive Reform, a nonprofit research and educational organization. Founded in 2002, CPR is a network of university-affiliated Member Scholars with expertise in legal, economic, and scientific fields.

Lisa Shapiro is Professor of Philosophy at Simon Fraser University. Her research concerns accounts of human nature in the 17th and 18th centuries. In particular, she is interested the place of the passions (or emotions) in these accounts, as vehicles of human cognitive connection to the world. Her work has focused on Descartes, Spinoza and Hume, but also touched on Malebranche and Condillac. Her current project concerns accounts of the development of human rational capacities – or an embodied human mind – in the period. This research intersects with her commitment to rehabilitating the work of women thinkers of the early modern period. She is the PI on a SSHRC Partnership Development Grant New Narratives in the History of Philosophy in an effort to include many of these women (2015-2018). She is editor of the forthcoming Pleasure: A History in the Oxford Philosophical Concepts series. She is the translator and editor of The Correspondence of Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia and René Descartes and co-editor, with Martin Pickavé, of Emotion and Cognitive Life in Medieval and Early Modern Philosophy, as well as author of numerous articles.

October 5, 2015 - On this episode, we visit the theaters, throne rooms and taverns of London 400 years ago, as seen through the eyes of William Shakespeare. History Author Show correspondent Stephen Bedford met our guide to Jacobian London in the shadow of the immortal bard's statue in Central Park. He is renowned Shakespeare scholar James Shapiro, professor of English of Columbia University. His book is The Year of Lear: Shakespeare in 1606. That was a particularly chaotic year in England with King James’ ascension and the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot. But this atmosphere of crisis inspired Shakespeare, and he went on to produce three of his greatest tragedies that year: King Lear, Macbeth, Antony and Cleopatra. Professor Shapiro is historical adviser at New York City’s Public Theater, Governor of the Folger Shakespeare Library, and frequent BBC commentator. He is also the author of Contested Will: Who Wrote Shakespeare? You can find him at JamesShapiro.net.

Thomas Shapiro will share his views on the System of White Supremacy. Thomas Shapiro is author of The Hidden Cost of Being African American - which addresses various ways that black people are harmed and denied help and resources. Professor Shapiro writes that to accurately understand Racism,one must understand how White Privilege is the product of non-white abuse. His book also illuminates how White people have better access to resources and a higher quality of life even when they make the same income as a non-white person. #TheCOWS13 #Pele INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

Lucy Shapiro Ludwig Professor of Cancer Research, School of Medicine, Stanford University Lecture I: Emerging Infectious Diseases and Global Health Tuesday, March 31, 2009 – 4:10 p.m. International House Auditorium, 2299 Piedmont Avenue, Berkeley  Lecture II: The Systems Architecture of a Bacterial Cell Cycle Wednesday, April 1, 2009 – 4:10 p.m. International House Auditorium, 2299 Piedmont Avenue, Berkeley  Lucy Shapiro is renowned for her contributions to the fields of developmental biology, molecular biology, and genetics. Her research focuses on the cell cycle of a developing microorganism, particularly on the process by which the cells divide into dissimilar, rather than identical, “daughter” cells. This process remains, in Shapiro’s words, “one of the most fundamental questions of developmental biology.”  Shapiro's pioneering work has revealed the genetic circuitry controlling a bacterial cell with 3,767 genes, providing the basic principles of genetic programming that helps cells move seamlessly through the cell cycle. Shapiro also focuses on advancing the field of antibiotics, which she argues has reached a critical moment in history. Based on her in depth analysis of a simple bacterial cell, Shapiro identified new antibiotic targets and cofounded a biotech company that designs antimicrobial drugs. Lecture description: In her first lecture, Professor Shapiro discusses how antibiotics, widely used since the 1950's, are becoming ineffective because bacteria have many ways of acquiring drug resistance. Development of new antibiotics cannot keep pace in this biological arms race. Confounding this problem, there is an increase in prevalent infectious diseases around the world due to overpopulation, globalization, and urbanization. We are rapidly reaching a critical stage in this global threat that has both economic and political implications. Her second lecture examines the functions required to reproduce and maintain life in the simple bacterial cell by using a systems engineering approach that defines the control circuitry integrated in time and space.
