Linda, Allison and Noah talk about (1) the reserve call-up and the new IDF operation – it's already got a name: Gideon's Chariots – that the government plans to launch in Gaza, and whether or not it is a good idea; and (2) The violent protests of a “Joint Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Event” in Raanana, and what we do and do not learn from them. All this and the crooked timber of humanity on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Dachau, and a mystical Challah dough-offering ceremony in Jerusalem and a story we learned at the Bicycle Museum that is unbelievable even after three generations!

If you would like to understand Israeli Jews, to get to know someone who made aliyah from Queens, New York (move to Israel) close to thirty years ago, then have a listen to this schmooze with Rashi Rosenzweig. He lives in Raanana, Israel, is married with four boys, and just yesterday found himself, like all other Israelis in the region, running down to a bomb shelter once again, as a ballistic missile made its way from Yemen. In this interview, we learn about the genesis of his first name (Rashi was a famous rabbi found in the Talmud and the Torah), the spelling of his last name (which is different than mine), his passion for acting and knowledge of the city he made aliyah to. Rashi is your classic Israel citizen who share a small country and is deeply in love with the Jewish people. This is an hour and half spent with a man who decided to make Israel his home, and despite the wars and Intifadas never once thought about leaving it. Am Yisrael Chai.

Every Hebrew month has its own unique and powerful energy. Those challenges and issues that seem insurmountable to us at one point of the year "seem" to resolve themselves quickly and easily at other times of the year. It's not just a coincidence. There is a reason and a season for everything:) In this deep conversation with Devorah Bloom Kur, we learn about the hidden meaning and energy of the Hebrew month of Adar. Specifically, the month of Adar offers profound opportunities for personal growth and spiritual connection to Hashem (G-d), through INCREASED joy, happiness, and laughter. Devorah speaks about how our thoughts play a tremendous role in our happiness. mindset, and outlook on life. She explains to us that what we think about comes about. Devorah speaks a lot about self-compassion, using our challenges as stepping stones to personal growth, rising above our limitations, and using our own unique strengths to help us overcome our current predicaments.Each Hebrew month has its own Hebrew letter, organ that it represents, sense, and astrological sign.Specific to Adar:Hebrew Letter: KoofOrgan: SpleenSense: LaughterAstrological Sign: PiscesDevorah speaks about the Jewish holiday of Purim, and how Queen Ester (Esther) saved the Jewish people by stepping into her royalty. She started off as scared, insecure and unsure of herself, but then rose into her power and dignity as a queen. Her actions created a miracle and revealed the hidden. Through Ester coming into her own power, the Jews were saved. It's because of Ester's heroism that we call the scroll that we read, Megilat Ester, which means "reveal the hidden." We can all come into our own personal power, just like queen Ester. If we all did that, imagine all the good and all the miracles that could occur! Devorah Bloom Kur is a professional Logotherapist, SEP--Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (trauma therapy), IFS level 3 practitioner, reflexologist, and bereavement counselor. She is passionate about supporting people through their illnesses, challenges, grief, and losses in life. Devorah has a practice in Raanana, Israel, and sees online clients internationally as well. She combines her expertise to empower people to achieve wellbeing of their mind, body, and soul. Her strength is helping people find meaning in their lives by asking, "What now?" which is meaning focused, instead of "Why me?"

Yoni Diller, a 28-year-old Israeli filmmaker, arrived at the Supernova Music Festival just hours before Hamas terrorists launched their unprecedented attack on Israel that killed 1200 people, including 401 at the music festival alone. Yoni escaped the festival on foot, walking for hours through southern Israel's desert to safety.  Having survived this harrowing experience, Yoni is now traveling the world to share his story with political leaders, college students, and others, providing firsthand testimony of the horrors he and his fellow festival attendees witnessed on that fateful morning of October 7th. *The views and opinions expressed by guests do not necessarily reflect the views or position of AJC.  Episode Lineup:  (0:40) Yoni Diller Show Notes: Listen – People of the Pod on the Israel-Hamas War: Tal Shimony Survived the Hamas Attack on the Nova Music Festival: Hear Her Story of Courage, Resilience, and Remembrance How to Mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day in a Post-October 7th World A Spider Web of Terror: How Iran's Axis of Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas Threaten Israel and America Follow People of the Pod on your favorite podcast app, and learn more at AJC.org/PeopleofthePod You can reach us at: peopleofthepod@ajc.org If you've appreciated this episode, please be sure to tell your friends, and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts. Transcript of Interview with Yoni Diller: Manya Brachear Pashman: During the Grammys this past Sunday, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. remembered the 401 people murdered and 40 kidnapped by Hamas terrorists during the October 7 attack on the Nova Music Festival.  Yoni Diller is a 28-year-old filmmaker from Ra'anana, a town outside Tel Aviv. Yoni and his friend Nadav arrived at the Supernova Music Festival just a few hours before rockets began flying overhead. At daybreak, he had expected to send up a drone camera to capture the scene of unadulterated song and dance in the desert. But he never got the chance to get his camera ready. Yoni is with us now to describe that harrowing day that started at dawn. Yoni, welcome to People of the Pod.   Yoni Diller: Thank you for having me.  Manya Brachear Pashman: Could you please walk us through what you saw that morning?  Yoni Diller:   So, when the sirens went on at 6:30, we saw hundreds of missiles heading our way. So we rushed back to our campsite. We packed up our stuff, we tried to leave, the parking lot was chaotic. And I suggested going a different way. This decision to head south towards Re'im, which is another village. I didn't think it would change or it will change everything, but it did. On the road, people originally told us to turn around, to do a u-turn.  Manya Brachear Pashman: You told me earlier that was when a car riddled with bullet holes approached you and you found yourself helping a wounded women. That was 25 year old Shani Gabay whose remains were identified seven weeks later. At that time, when you were helping her, you heard gunfire in the distance and you tried to take cover in a nearby valley.  Yoni Diller:   Yes. I saw terrorists from a distance and continued to hide. A short moment later, mass shooting started in the Be'eri area, north of us.  I checked my phone to assess our surroundings and our current location. At the same time, my friend's sister called him to check on him to check everything's okay. He promised everything's gonna be alright. And about that time about a dozen others had joined us and we start walking. But the best thing I could do at that moment is to scream for everyone to get down because bullets are flying up on top of our head.  So when the gunshots stop for a second, we decided to head towards Patish, it was more than 24 kilometers away. My intuition told me that this will be safer there.  Manya Brachear Pashman: Did you just say 24 kilometers away? How did you make it through an almost 15-mile walk? You're walking in fields, the open fields in the desert, without food or water for over four and a half hours. It's really really tough. The fear and uncertainty made it even harder. At some point, Nadav found a single grapefruit that gave us enough energy to finish the long walk to Patish.  Throughout this journey we continued to hear automatic gunfire. Finally after 4 ½ hours we arrived at Patish. Emotions were mixed because we began to learn the enormity of what happened. Friends were missing and there were rumors of many people hurt and worse from the festival. Later on around 2 in the afternoon, a bus came to take us away, bringing us to Be'er Sheva and then to Tel Aviv. Then I arrived to Ra'anana finally. Safe and sound in one piece. I hugged my family and I understood just how lucky I had been.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   So can you kind of explain to our audience what is so wonderful about this festival, this trance culture and this music, this experience? Yoni Diller:   So trance, psy-trance, electronic music, personally for me it's not a genre. It's like you said, it's a culture, it's the people in it. It's the free spirit people, liberal people, just all about spreading love. It doesn't have to be in a hippie way, just more in a way that everything is very simple, you know. Simply just be a good person, giving, ego's not involved, very laid back people. And that's the whole idea behind all these festivals and that's what's for me. It's about the people, it's about the music, it's about the art, everything together.  I joined a group of friends, friends of friends, we were like total more than 20 people and two of them lost their lives there and two others that I know from another group that went with me to high school also.  One got killed and actually the one the other one got kidnapped. These festivals,  from event to event, you get to know people from everywhere. It's a small world. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Your companion who was kidnapped, has he been released, any word on where they are now? Yoni Diller:   No, one of them is still there. Hopefully he's still alive. I'm not even sure what's less worse, being kidnapped, or hostage, or being killed. We don't really know what they're going through over there. The best we can do is just wish for them to be released, no matter what the circumstances are. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Yes, my colleagues here at AJC are working to bring about the safe return of all the hostages. Listeners can go to AJC.org/BringThemHome to learn more about those efforts.  Yoni, do you feel like people outside Israel fully grasp the gravity of what happened to people there, or really how truly innocent the festival goers were? Yoni Diller:   Unfortunately, you know, this generation wants to get fast news and simple news comfortably, and a lot of them consume content from, you know, platforms like Tiktok, or Instagram. And unfortunately, there's a lot of fake news out there, a lot of false accusations. And, you know, people sometimes deny that October 7 happened. And that's really unfortunate. I'll give you an example.  I flew to the US after the event, I was part of this special delegation to do advocacy and telling the story to politicians in DC, in New York. And also, independently later after this delegation, I stayed another week in the States, and I took the train to these campuses. And I spoke and told my story. You know, campuses like NYU, Columbia, I went to Harvard, MIT, Yale, and Princeton.  Six campuses in three days. It wasn't easy. I was really exhausted. But the fact that I had that meaning that, you know, I'm there to tell the story.  Not for me, not telling the story for me. I'm telling that story for people to actually know what really happened, you know, the truth. I'm saying this for people who weren't lucky to tell them to tell the story themselves, or for the families.  So what I saw, when I told the story, is a lot of people were actually in shock, like, wow, I didn't know if this would really happen. Like, how can you not know, we're in 2023. Information hasn't been easier to be delivered from place to place up until this moment, and how do you not know exactly what happened? There's videos everywhere.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   You mentioned that students were actually shocked that when they heard your testimony, and what happened. What other kinds of reactions are you getting, both reassuring reactions and negative reactions? Yoni Diller:   I would say that the positive reactions I had a lot, a lot of good reactions. I mean, most of the people I spoke to or through this Hillel organization and the campuses. And, you know, people come up to me after the event and they feel very sorry, and they sort of it was really nice, but I would say that the only time that I dealt with some, somebody that was maybe a negative was at Princeton, there was this guy, some 18 year old kid. Apparently he's not one of the Israeli supporters I would say, is an understatement. And he had a weird comment.  It took him actually 10 minutes to ask me a question, at the end of the lecture, I asked if anyone has any questions, and he asked me something. He was very embarrassed to ask me this. But he said something about should we feel bad for the Palestinians, they've been oppressed for many years, October 7th was legitimate, it should have happened, something in that kind of way.  So instead of attacking him and try to humiliate him, or trying to make him look really bad, make him look silly, I told him, Look, I can talk to you about it. No problem. I'm not here to talk about politics or give you history lessons. I'm just here to tell my story, this is what happen. Again, I can get into it, but I wasn't really interested,I wasn't sure it was really appropriate to just get into that, because he just wanted to find some action.  In terms of antisemitism or just being against Israel, I see it's a very broad trend, nowadays. I had this event with Douglas Murray the other day. And he said, this generation is Gen Z, you know, everyone wants to be an activist, everyone wants to be an influencer in some way. And people calling Israel, telling them they're calling colonialist or doing genocide, all that. It's very easy to use these buzzwords, okay, but most of the people don't even know what they mean. Most of the people when they shout from the river to the sea, don't even know which sea or which river they're talking about. But a lot of these people feel a sense of meaning, oh, we're part of something, although they don't know 100%, where they're part of part of.  So my mission, or one of my main meanings, is to educate people and telling them in a very simple way, what really happened because I'm the proof that October 7, I'm evidence to all this all this thing happened. So no one can actually tell me that this didn't happen. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Yoni I am curious, how you are healing, how you are taking care of yourself, and whether these opportunities to speak about what happened are therapeutic, and what music is playing in your healing process? Yoni Diller:   Well, as I tell the story more, at some point I feel it comes out more easy and less challenging. As I tell it more, I feel I become stronger. You know, because you just can't keep this stuff in your stomach, you gotta share this stuff, and be very careful how you share it.  I've read this book Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl,  I'm sure you've heard about it. And I read this book while I was doing this whole advocacy work, and, you know, doing this journey in the states, in Europe, and it gave me a lot of strength. And, and it was part of my healing process, you know, to have this meaning.  But the main point wasn't really, you know, spreading the story everywhere. I mean, it was important, but how do I bridge that story to something more positive? So that was part of my healing process. In addition, I have friends and family that are very supportive. And I'm very lucky to have them.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   Do you encounter mostly Jewish audiences with whom you speak? Or do you encounter non-Jewish audiences and recipients? Yoni Diller:   It's mixed. It's mixed. Mostly mixed. A lot of them are Jews, though, because I was hosted by Hillel. So a lot of them were Jews. Also for security reasons.  At that time, I decided to go to Harvard and MIT when there were all the riots. I went there by myself to speak and they had to make sure everything's secure and they had police on the outside, the inside, it really kept everything very safe.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   And did you get any surprising reactions from non-Jewish audience members? Yoni Diller:   Just from that incident in Princeton, but if the event was more like for everyone, I'm sure I would get responses from so many other people. And it would be a disaster, it would just be a mess because it would be me probably arguing with a couple of kids screaming stuff like free Palestine and stuff, things that have no connection to what I came for. And, you know, just misses the whole purpose. So we try to do something more organized, more the Jewish crowd, because let me tell you this, okay.  A lot of Jews, Israelis that live in the States, whoever it is, the campuses, they know what happened, but most of them don't know from a survivor or someone who's really there. In addition, a lot of them don't have the self confidence to combat this antisemitism and hate in their surroundings, they feel afraid to stand up.  I mean, if I survived it, I'm just a simple Ashkenazi guy from Ra'anana. And, you know, I survived it. You know, I wouldn't consider myself a big hero. I mean, I was very lucky. And again, you know, I've been through hell. But the last thing I should do is be silent and just stay home. I got to speak up. Hey, guys, look this is what happened, you know, get your head up. People are in a much worse situation, you have no reason to be afraid. We went through the Holocaust, we've been through, you know, 3000 years of hell. And we've always survived. So we're resilient. And that's kind of the message that I came to convey.  You know, that's one of the reasons I'm there to speak. Again, you cannot fight antisemitism with the other side's kind of method, let's say, they would scream stuff, and be violent. You can't play that game. Let them yell and play that game or spread their lies.  What you should do is, you know, you gotta really pick your crowd, like I said, You got to pick your people. You got to be more united, you got to speak, you got to spread facts. That's what you should do, every Jew in the world. Because we're stronger than ever. Nothing can break us. History has shown it. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Yoni, do you think that you will return to the supernova festival or any other music festival? Do you think you'll dance again? Yoni Diller:   I'll even dance more. You know, this is what they want, disregarding what happened and everything. I guess that these terrorist organizations, not only they want to, like physically hurt you, they will also want to mentally break you, okay? And they want you to fear them. So the last thing you should do is be afraid of that. So you got to do the opposite. They probably would want me not to dance anymore, not to go to these festivals or just not enjoy my life. I'll do the opposite. I will go and I'll dance even more often. Or I'll just you know, create more joy. And that's one of the ways to really combat this battle.  So to your question. Yes. I will not stop, maybe it'll take me some time. I'm not sure if I'm so ready. But slowly, you know, you got to really listen to yourself first. That's the most important. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Yoni, thank you so much for sharing your story and I hope to see you dancing again very soon.   Yoni Diller:   Hey, thank you so much for having me. Hopefully, people can hear this and they can spread the word. Manya Brachear Pashman: If you missed last week's episode, be sure to tune in for my conversation with another Supernova survivor Tal Shimony as she discusses the genesis of the exhibit 'Nova 6.29,' where the community aims to tell their story and honor those killed and taken hostage. Tal guides us through the horrors she witnessed during the deadliest attack on a music event in history.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Today is day 102 of the war. Political correspondent Tal Schneider and health reporter Renee Ghert-Zand join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. An elderly woman was killed and 17 people were injured, including at least seven children and teenagers, in a car-ramming and stabbing attack by two Palestinian terrorists in the central Israel city of Ra'anana early on Monday afternoon. Ghert-Zand updates us on the status of the injured. Former IDF chief of staff Aviv Kohavi acknowledged Monday at a ceremony at Jerusalem's Mount Herzl that his actions as the military's top general will have to be scrutinized as part of investigations into the failures that enabled Hamas's October 7 bypassing of Israel's high-tech border barrier and the ensuing mass onslaught. Was Schneider surprised at the timing of the remarks? Winter has arrived late in Israel this year, along with a correspondingly delayed beginning to the respiratory disease season. What are we seeing in Israel in terms of COVID and flu? Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said twice this week that Israel intends to reduce its security dependence on the import of military products. Schneider reports on whether Israel may be able to carry this out. On October 7, terrorists set fire to the Kibbutz Kfar Aza home of Ariel and Ellay Golan and their 18-month-old daughter Yael, who survived with serious burns. Taken by helicopter to the National Burns Center at Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv, the family was treated with NexoBrid, which was developed by Israeli company MediWound. We hear about this and other med-tech used in the current war. Finally, as the war changes gears in the Gaza Strip, Schneider compiled a list of what IDF soldiers are reading based on their requests to their parents.

Today's daf is sponsored by Joshua Waxman in loving memory of Alex Kahan, Eliyahu ben Shlomo ha-Kohen v'Aliza, father of Aimee Kahan, on his shloshim. "A passionate and gentle teacher who touched countless lives." Today's daf is sponsored by Blima Slutksy in loving memory of Mazal (Tina) bat David and Rina. Today's daf is dedicated to the refuah shleima of three boys from our community who were injured in the terrorist attack yesterday in Ra'anana, one of whom is still in critical condition - Nadav Efraim ben Shulamit Leah, Ilan Zvi ben Sharon Salon, Gilad David ben Sima Chana, among all the others injured in the attack.  Rav Huna taught in the name of Rav that one who admits to a fine and then witnesses come, the one who admitted is still exempt. Rav Chisda raises a difficulty against him from a braita with a story about Rabbi Gamliel and Tavi his slave, where Rav Papa admitted that he blinded his eye. There are two different versions of the story in two different braitot. The Gemara first suggests that there is a dispute between these braitot on our issue - if one admits to the fine and then witnesses come, is the person exempt or liable, but then they suggest that the difference can be explained differently. Shmuel disagrees with Rav and obligates. They bring a source for each opinion in the Torah and raise a difficulty on Shmuel's position from a braita. Shmuel resolves the difficulty. Rav Hamnuna limits the opinion of Rav and distinguishes between a case of confession that causes a financial obligation (such as theft, where one would have to pay the principal) and one with no financial obligation (such as one who was convicted for theft and admits to having slaughtered or sold. Rava raises a difficulty on this argument from the story with Rabbi Gamliel. But it is also quoted that Rabbi Yochanan makes the same distinction as Rav Hamnuna. And Rabbi Ashi brings proof from our Mishna and a braita. However, his proof from the braita was rejected. The Gemara suggests that Rav Hamnuna's distinction is a debate between tannaim, although it is somewhat rejected.  

Today's daf is sponsored by Joshua Waxman in loving memory of Alex Kahan, Eliyahu ben Shlomo ha-Kohen v'Aliza, father of Aimee Kahan, on his shloshim. "A passionate and gentle teacher who touched countless lives." Today's daf is sponsored by Blima Slutksy in loving memory of Mazal (Tina) bat David and Rina. Today's daf is dedicated to the refuah shleima of three boys from our community who were injured in the terrorist attack yesterday in Ra'anana, one of whom is still in critical condition - Nadav Efraim ben Shulamit Leah, Ilan Zvi ben Sharon Salon, Gilad David ben Sima Chana, among all the others injured in the attack.  Rav Huna taught in the name of Rav that one who admits to a fine and then witnesses come, the one who admitted is still exempt. Rav Chisda raises a difficulty against him from a braita with a story about Rabbi Gamliel and Tavi his slave, where Rav Papa admitted that he blinded his eye. There are two different versions of the story in two different braitot.

In a speech about the war now, Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu said “with all the glory to God…today we have a country, an army, a powerful air force, a State whose economy exports millions of dollars, Intel - Microsoft - IBM develops products for the whole world, our doctors receive awards for medical research, we have numerous Nobel Prize winners in all areas.” Yes, Israel has proudly been a powerhouse of technology and innovation. Israeli inventions have changed the world. In fact, in the world of technology, Israel has been coined as “king.” The Definitive Rap is proud to present a very special show. Inspira, a Ra'anana – based startup tested a less invasive concept of oxygenating blood without intubation. Inspira's unique ART500 (which stands for Augmented Respiratory Technology). We will hear all about this fascinating invention that will save people worldwide. Baila Sebrow, producer and host of The Definitive Rap for 5Towns Central interviewed President, Director & Co-Founder Joe Hayon to talk about ART500 in detail. He discussed where the inspiration came from, and how this new technology will replace intubation in critically ill patients. In addition, he stressed how not only will patients benefit, not having to endure the complications of ventilators, but it will also reduce hospital costs. The name Inspira signifies that this will be an inspiration for health and survival for patients who desaturate and have till now been needing mechanical intubation.

Ben Simmons and the Nets continued their preseason schedule, taking on Ra'Anana. Looking to continue to refine Jacque Vaughn's new Offensive and Defensive schemes, Ben Simmons continued his exciting return to form.Ben once again orchestrated the offense and tonight unlocked Spencer Dinwiddie's perimeter shooting with a number of transition looks. In addition to cross-court no looks assists on Cam Thomas triples, Simmons also penetrated the Defense and found easy drop off looks for teeammates.Already without Day'ron Sharpe, the Nets also sat Nic Claxton down with a glute injury, inserting Harry Giles III into the starting unit. Giles, who looked a touch slow in the preseason opener, came to life on the offensive glass in game two and also displayed a shooting touch that Adam highlights as a key missing(and much needed) component from the Bigs on Brooklyn's roster.Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

Um chefe de cozinha de São Paulo está se destacando em Israel por adaptar a culinária brasileira à Kashrut, nome da alimentação especial que obedece às regras da lei judaica. Wyllie Dachtelberg, 56 anos, conquista clientes brasileiros e israelenses que querem saborear pratos brasileiros em Tel Aviv sem renunciar aos preceitos religiosos. Daniela Kresch, correspondente da RFI em Israel Seus clientes são parte dos 15 mil brasileiros que vivem em Israel, mas há cada vez mais israelenses que provam de seus quitutes e se apaixonam pelos pratos brasileiros. Em Israel, 70% dos habitantes afirmam seguir as regras da Kashrut. O alimento que segue essas normas é chamado de kosher ou casher, dependendo da pronúncia em íidishe ou hebraico. Entre as várias diretrizes, uma das mais conhecidas é a proibição de misturar carnes e queijos nos mesmos pratos. E, no que tange às carnes, é proibido comer porco ou coelho, entre outras, sendo que o tratamento da carne de vaca requer a retirada total do sangue do corte. Para seguir todas as determinações, o mestre-cuca brasileiro precisa ser criativo na hora de preparar pratos como feijoada, arroz carreteiro, tutu ou lasanha. Wyllie, então, tem desenvolvido ingredientes alternativos: “Eu já fiz o presunto, ele está maravilhoso, e agora eu estou desenvolvendo um queijo que derrete, assim, que fica gostoso, como se fosse um queijo derretido. Aí eu vou poder fazer misto, cheeseburguer. Aqui não pode cheeseburguer, não existe cheeseburguer casher. E eu estou agora indo para esse lado”, diz Dachtelberg. Wyllie sempre amou a culinária, mas foi só depois que se mudou para Israel com a esposa e dois filhos, em 2019, que decidiu fazer da paixão sua profissão.  Antes da mudança de país, ele tinha uma empresa de webmarketing em São Paulo. Mas decidiu focar na gastronomia quando chegou à cidade de Raanana, ao Norte de Tel Aviv, onde vivem cerca de 200 famílias de brasileiros. Em meio às dúvidas sobre começar do zero em outro país, ele foi trabalhar como cozinheiro. A barreira da língua causou alguns problemas, no entanto. Wyllie chegou ao país com hebraico fluente, mas não com um vocabulário profissional no ramo da culinária. Certa vez, colocou bruschettas recém assadas no freezer ao invés de no armário quente, que preserva o calor. Isso porque, em hebraico, os dois utensílios têm nomes parecidos.  Aos poucos, começou a receber pedidos de quitutes nacionais e decidiu abrir uma microempresa em casa. “Me pediram para fazer feijoada. A forma como eles faziam feijoada aqui era pegar algumas carnes defumadas que tem no mercado e fazer a feijoada. E isso me deu um estalo e eu disse: não, não, não, não”, conta o paulista. “Então eu fiz bacon de peito de ganso, eu fiz linguiça calabresa de peru, eu fiz linguiça de frango, eu fiz paio de peru e fiz a feijoada. Bom, o pessoal enlouqueceu”. Formado pela Escola Paulista de Gastronomia Senac, uma das principais e mais importantes do Brasil, Dachtelberg se especializou em panificação e confeitaria. Ele também é mestre em charcutaria, isto é, na confecção de linguiças, defumados e outros tipos de frios. Fora tudo isso, Wyllie é especialista em culinária japonesa e americana. Em Israel, além do desafio de adaptar a gastronomia brasileira à Kashrut, ele também se depara com outro obstáculo: a falta de ingredientes comuns no Brasil. A feijoada é um exemplo. Um dos acompanhamentos tradicionais é a couve, mas, como em Israel não há essa verdura, ele utiliza uma espécie de “prima direta” da couve: o mangold. O mesmo acontece com moquecas, que precisam de um óleo que não é vendido em Israel: “Para fazer moqueca baiana, você precisa do óleo de dendê que não vende aqui. Mas, na verdade, o dendê vem da palma e aqui tem óleo de palma, que é a mesma árvore, a mesma coisa, só que é da Tailândia. Então, você faz o mesmo sabor porque é o mesmo óleo. No Brasil é um pouco mais líquido, aqui é um pouco mais pastoso. Então você vai para cá, vai para lá”. Atualmente, Wyllie cozinha para eventos como o “Casa Brasil”, que celebrou o bicentenário da Independência do Brasil no Porto de Tel Aviv, em setembro de 2022. E também prepara refeições para clientes particulares, tanto para jantares quanto para refeições do dia a dia, além de produzir e vender produtos como frios, linguiças e costelas. Tudo com comida totalmente kosher, claro. O mestre-cuca brasileiro encara tudo sozinho, desde a compra dos ingredientes até a entrega aos clientes. Não é fácil, mas ele planeja, em breve, expandir seu negócio, certo de que a culinária brasileira tem futuro em Israel, principalmente se for oficialmente reconhecida como kosher. Para isso, precisará receber um documento, ou teudat em hebraico, que oficialize o selo de Kashrut: “Eu ainda cozinho em casa. A empresa que abri me permite cozinhar em casa e vender para pessoa física. Agora eu vou atrás de alugar um local para poder montar minha empresa e vender para empresas. E, neste estágio, eu vou poder ganhar a teudat kashrut”.

Study Guide Nedarim 31 This month's learning is sponsored by Ron and Shira Krebs in loving memory of Shira's grandfather, Yitzchak Leib Ben David Ber HaCohen v'Malka, on his 73rd yahrzeit, for Shira's father, Gershon Pinya Ben Yitzchak Leib HaCohen v'Menucha Sara, on his 1st yahrzeit, and the bar mitzvah of their son Eytan who will be making a siyum on shas Mishnayot this month and will become a bar mitzvah on his great grandfather's yahrzeit).  Today's daf is sponsored by Deborah and Michael Dickson on the occasion of the bar mitzvah of their son Dan, this Shabbat. Today's daf is sponsored by Audrey and Jake Levant. "Mazel Tov to Michael and Deborah Dickson on the occasion of their son, Dan’s, bar mitzvah this Shabbat in Raanana." The next few Mishnayot discuss language used in a vow that would refer to Jews, Cutim (Samaritans) or gentiles. What language refers to which groups of people? If one vows not to benefit from Jews, one cannot purchase or sell items for them for the actual price but must need to take a loss. How does this law fit with Shmuel's law regarding the responsibility of a potential buyer for accidental damage, which indicates that the buyer always benefits, and not the seller? This would mean that the seller could sell for the actual price as the real benefit is not the seller's. How is this issue resolved? If one vows not to benefit from circumcised people, the vow obviously refers to all Jews, even those who are not circumcised. Likewise, uncircumcised refers to all gentiles, even if they are circumcised. The Mishna quotes several verses proving this and also several statements stressing the importance of the Mitzva of brit milah, circumcision.

Uno de los grandes retos de la medicina, es encontrar alivio para el dolor. La compañía médica israelí, iPulse Medical buscaba desarrollar un software para aliviar los dolores en general, pero terminó descubriendo la forma de hacer desaparecer los calambres y el molesto dolor pélvico que se presenta en las mujeres durante su ciclo menstrual. Fue así como se creó LIVIA, un pequeño dispositivo portátil que con pulsaciones eléctricas, detiene la señal que emite el útero al cerebro, reduciendo considerablemente el dolor, de manera más efectiva que las pastillas o bolsas de calor. LIVIA reduce el impacto causado por la endometriosis, una condición médica que hace que los dolores menstruales sean más fuertes de lo normal. iPulse Medical, la compañía que produce Livia, tiene su sede en Raanana, en el centro de Israel, y fue fundada en abril de 2015 por su director Chen Nachum. El funcionamiento de LIVIA es sencillo, tan solo se necesita poner sus dos magnetos en el lugar del dolor y listo.

Adam Duritz has waited decades to play in Israel, a place that he loves, said the Counting Crows frontman in this Times Will Tell podcast ahead of his band's Wednesday night show in Ra'anana, outside Tel Aviv. Duritz visited Israel several times in his teens, hiking through Sinai, working on a kibbutz and later learning Torah in Jerusalem, a "powerful place" for him, he says. Yet Duritz hadn't returned to Israel since then, as he built his career and band, waiting for the right opportunity to make it back to Israel and perform here. The lead singer of the California-founded band, known for hits such as "Mr. Jones," "Round Here," and "Accidentally In Love," credited the physical work he learned on the kibbutz as the foundation for the landscaping and construction jobs that he later did to support himself while building his musical career. He also spoke about his own struggles with religion and faith, and how those issues showed up in his music. The following transcript has been very lightly edited. The Times of Israel: Welcome Adam Duritz to the Times Will Tell, we are very honored to have you with us, and we appreciate you squeezing us into what I know is a busy schedule ahead of your Wednesday night performance in Ra'anana. Adam Duritz: I know I am. I'm very excited to play some place we've never played before. The Times of Israel: It's hard to believe. There's been a lot of preview interviews with you mentioning that you came here and you worked on the kibbutz when you were 18 and you came back to Jerusalem and did a little studying in the holy city. But it has been quite a few decades since you've been in Israel, correct? Adam Duritz: Four, I would think about. Four, yeah. It's been a really long time. The Times of Israel: Are you planning on traveling around for the next couple of days? Are you going to lay low and hang out at the beach? Adam Duritz: Well, I'd like to get a chance to travel around. I really want to go back to Jerusalem because that was someplace I really loved when I was a kid. But I don't really know. It depends on what kind of press and stuff they have us doing. That's the only thing that's going to take up the time. Except for our A gear, has all been in a locker in Liverpool for a year now. So we kind of have to go through that and make sure we have to do some pre-rehearsal with the band and the crew to make sure all the equipment gears. The Times of Israel: It got sent over for a concert that got canceled. And now you're basically doing the tour that you meant to do a while back. Adam Duritz: Because of Covid, I decided to leave it over there rather than bring it back on the risk that we would be able to reschedule the tour. I left it over there because especially nowadays, all the expenses for bands' prices haven't gone up at all, but the expenses are all doubled or tripled freight, airlines, flights, hotels, freight for your gear. All that is double or triple what it was. So I didn't want to waste the money by bringing it all back. There's a lot of things I'd like to do and hopefully I'll get to do some of them. But part of touring is realizing that the gig is everything. The Times of Israel: How is this tour going? I know that you were touring the US and now you're in Europe and you hopped over to Israel, and you have a lot of tour dates all over Europe. What does it feel like to be touring again? Adam Duritz: It's cool. I mean, this is the first gig of the European tour, so we haven't done that part yet. But the shows in America, we did a whole tour last summer and we've been playing gigs off and on this year. It's all been really cool. It's nice to be back playing. The Times of Israel: You've mentioned in a few interviews that it's been 30 years since your first album and that you feel, I guess, a sense of privilege that you guys are still together and that you perform these huge shows, [with] fans that are really excited to see you. Adam Duritz: Not so much that we're still together, but that people are still coming out to see us. You always worry about that because the shelf life of a band is very short, but especially after two years lay off, you really wonder whether things are going to pass you by. But we're still here. The Times of Israel: What was it like getting back onto those stages, getting back together, working together, performing together? Adam Duritz: Well, the same as it's always been. I mean, it's just performing. It's nice to play, you know, I think when you're in a band that was the longest I've ever gone without playing that period during Covid. In my entire adult life, I've never gone that long between gigs, so it was very strange. The Times of Israel: That must be incredibly strange. There are certain songs that are so familiar, so popular, that make people happy. "Mr Jones," "Big Yellow Taxi," "Roundhere." What is it like when you play these songs that you know are beloved by your fans, but that you have to keep on churning out all the time? What is it like to play those songs over again, knowing that your crowd wants to hear them, but knowing that maybe there's other things that you want to focus on more, or maybe not. Maybe those are the songs you always want to bring to your audience. Adam Duritz: If I want to play something else, I would just play it. There's nothing that has to get played every night. The only song that we play every night is "A Long December." And that's because for some reason, that's the only song I never ever get sick of. I don't think there's ever been a night where I didn't want to play that song. I don't know why that is, but I'm never tired of it. Everything else, if there's a night where I don't want to play it, I'm not going to play it. Because I think it would suck to play songs that you don't want to play. The Times of Israel: Really? You would do that to the audience? You would do that to the fans? Not play "Mr. Jones," for instance. Adam Duritz: Yeah, there's been lots of nights where we didn't play "Mr. Jones." I love that song. I love "Mr. Jones," but I want to keep loving "Mr. Jones." I don't want to hate the song. And I would think the quickest way to hating your own music is to play it on nights when you don't want to play it. The Times of Israel: Interesting, given that you've had this long-standing connection to Israel that it took so long to get back here. Adam Duritz: Bands want to go everywhere, but you can't go anywhere unless you have a promoter making you an offer that makes sense. The fact is, there's probably nowhere in the world we don't really want to go. But you just can't go until promoter gives you the right kind of offer. And I don't know that we've had those in the past. This offer was really good. The moment I heard it, I said, absolutely, let's do it. It's taking care of a lot of our European tour because some of the other gigs in Europe are smaller, not as well paying some of them. This is a great gig. I'd like to be able to come back here every few years because to go to a new country and find out that you have an audience where you can go right and play a 6,000-seat arena right off the bat, that's fantastic. I mean, not an arena, an amphitheater. So I don't know about the past, but I don't really remember offers from Israel. The only thing I say is, as soon as I heard this offer, I said, absolutely, let's do it. Okay. I love it here. The Times of Israel: I know it's always a little bit of a pain to come to Israel because of the fact that you have to ship everything over here and then ship it back to Europe. You're not playing in the countries that surround Israel, you're not going to Egypt, you're not going to Jordan, not going to Syria or Lebanon. You didn't get hit with any boycotts or sanctions, you didn't get hit with any criticism of coming to play in Israel. Adam Duritz: No. The only place I really heard about it were in the interviews. But, I mean, I will say that I've been pretty isolated this year because I haven't been out and about very much. Also, we're not exactly the center of the culture right now, so maybe it would be different in that situation, I don't know. But also, like, I'm a Jew. I understand the long tradition of, like, everything is the Jew's fault. I don't really buy it. The Times of Israel: So, talk about that a little bit. Now that you brought it up, what is it like to come back here and to bring the Counting Crows, to bring your people, to bring your band, to bring your bandmates to this place that you connected with a long time ago? What does that feel like? Adam Duritz: It feels pretty cool. It's a really long time ago for me, but there's some pretty powerful memories. I just think for the band, in a lot of ways, you expect your career to be shrinking. You expect to play less and less places every year, so a year where you can come and play, more places to go, someplace new for the first time. I don't think any of the guys in our band, except for me, have been here before, which is pretty rare. This tour,  we actually have three cities we've never played, Helsinki and Warsaw and Tel Aviv. And that's kind of great. It's the opposite direction you expect things to go in the later years of your career. So that always makes me really happy, especially if, considering how big the crowd could be here for us, it's someplace we could come back to. The Times of Israel: Can you share a memory? Adam Duritz: I mean, I was a kid, I went through the Sinai. It was still part of Israel back then. I spent a lot of time in Jerusalem. It was very powerful for me, that city, especially the Old City. I worked on a kibbutz for a little while, working in the apple orchard. I dug crap out of a grain silo. I really enjoyed the work. And it's funny because it kind of prepared me in some ways, because that kind of physical work is what I ended up doing to support myself all the years when I was in the band, at first and in different bands, I was a landscaper and I did construction work. And I think one of the reasons I knew that I was okay doing that kind of work is that I had done it. I had done it over here. I'd gotten up really early in the morning and done hard work all day, and that's kind of how I ended up supporting myself in the early days before the band was successful. But the first place I really did a lot of that was on the kibbutz here. Adam Duritz: I went back again a couple of years later when I was 18 and pretty much just spent time in Jerusalem in that time. A lot of it was also that I was a kid and I liked getting wasted and there was no drinking age over here, and I thoroughly appreciated that at the time. The Times of Israel: I don't know if this is too much of a stretch, but are there any of those early moments and early memories that made their way into your music at any point? Or is there any connection there between what you experienced and what you later started creating? Adam Duritz: Well, I think there's a lot of places where my struggle with religion and faith shows up in my music, and that certainly was a part of my time here. The Times of Israel: It's a pretty common theme coming to Israel, coming to Jerusalem, struggling with where you are in terms of faith. And of course, now you're here for work and you're here to perform and to give interviews and to maybe see a little bit of this country that you haven't seen in a while. But do you find that it tugs at you in a certain way or is that sort of in your past? Adam Duritz: Well, there are things about the country that tug at me a lot, like just the history and what part it plays in my own history. Being a Jew, that's a pretty powerful thing for any Jew. Being here is a very, what's the word? Intoxicating in that way. Israel is a heavy liquor for Jews, I would say. But no, the religion doesn't tug at me. I'm past believing things like that. The Times of Israel: Yeah, but the place, the scenery, what you're seeing outside your window, what you see when you drive from the airport, those kinds of things, the people on the street. Adam Duritz: The street, well, not as much from the airport to Tel Aviv, but just the knowledge of what it is and my memories, especially of Jerusalem, maybe if I went over to Jaffa, to the older parts of town. It's incredibly beautiful out the window, looking at the beach, but between me and the beach is a construction zone. I guess they're putting in a rapid transit system. I remember when they did that in LA. That always tears up for a bit. Yeah, I guess it's just like also, it's a country full of Jews, as opposed to being one in a crowd as you are in the rest of the world. In the rest of the world, you're one in a crowd and here you are, the crowd. That's a unique thing. The Times of Israel: Are you brushing up on any Hebrew for the show? Are we going to hear any? Adam Duritz: Yeah, if people are talking, I'll say, sheket. I remember sheket. I remember ken and lo. I remember shalom, which means aloha. I don't remember most of my Hebrew. I could sort of speak it back then, but yeah, I don't remember very much of it now. The Times of Israel: The crowd loves it when some beloved singer comes their way and throws a little shalom and a little sheket b'vakasha (please be quiet). I think they'll be happy on Wednesday night to hear that as well. Where are you in terms of new songs? In terms of new work? I know Covid, as we keep on saying, has been such a struggle for bands. Sometimes it's great for being inspired, and sometimes it has made it really difficult. Where is Counting Crows in terms of new music? Are we going to hear any? Adam Duritz: Well, I had written a second suite, but I threw it out. I sang on my friend's record and he sent me their record before it came out. They're this band called Gang of Youth. They have a new record called "Angel in Real Time." And when I listened to it, it was so good that for the first time, literally the first time in my entire career, I thought, oh, these songs aren't good enough, and I threw them out. So I have to rework.I mean, I'm reworking some of it, but his record was so much better, and that's not good enough. The Times of Israel: Okay, but the point is that you're working, we're going to hear more new music. You guys are going to keep on going for hopefully a very long time. Adam Duritz: The chances of us finding other jobs are pretty slim, so yeah. The Times of Israel: Well, you said landscape and construction. There's always something to fall back on. Right. Adam Duritz: I'm not falling back to that on that. I'll stick with my job. I loved it at the time, but I'm glad I like my new job better. The Times of Israel: The new job that you've been carrying out for a while, happily, for quite a few decades. Excellent. Well, we really thank you for being with us, Adam Duritz, it's great to have you here in Israel and looking forward to hearing you on stage on Wednesday night and hoping you have a great trip and that you get to do a few things and see a few places that you want to see while you're here. Adam Duritz: Absolutely. I hope so. But the main thing I really wanted to do was play here, so one way or another, I'll get it all. I really wanted to play here.

Gideon Katz discusses some of the mure surprising aspect of Israeli secularism The fear of Judaism is an important theme in Israeli culture. By analyzing Israeli dystopias and essays we have the chance to “look” closely at this fear, and its images. The main one is the image on Judaism as the Israeli unconsciousness that ambush to the secular identity. This central image tells us something about the roots of the fear. Gideon Katz is an associate professor in Ben-Gurion Research Institute at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. He is author of To the Core of Secularism: A Philosophical Analysis of Secularism in its Israeli Context, (Jerusalem, 2011), The Pale God – Israeli Secularism and Spinoza's Philosophy of Culture (Boston, 2011) and co-editor of Music in Israel (Sede-Boker, 2014). His book In Silence and out Loud: Leibowitz in Israeli Context (Open University Press, Ra'anana) has been recently published.

Max Long made Aliyah from Boston, Massachusetts in 2015 and as a new immigrant with no Hebrew, family, or community, began his journey at the absorption center in Raanana.  At the age of 18  Max enlisted in the IDF as a Lone Soldier in the Yahalom unit, which is a specialized combat engineering unit. After completing his service, he founded Concierge Group Real Estate and Aliyah Concierge with a mission to provide informed guidance, advice, and consultation to investors seeking economically-backed real estate investment opportunities in the Jewish Homeland.  Max is also the founder and Executive Director of the GroWings foundations. At Mikveh Alon, Max learned to make the best of the resources the Army made available to him, and committed himself to learning Hebrew.  And yet, having arrived in Israel with no grasp of Hebrew, it was still far from perfect by the time he arrived at his unit. Max learned to read facial expressions and trust his instincts as he sought to react to commands he didn't quite grasp with the lightening speed required to be successful in basic training. Max credits the ability to read faces that has helped him achieve success in business to his IDF experience. We touched on the challenges inherent in serving in a military that speaks a language you don't fully understand, particularly challenges around leadership that one might be qualified for but unable to assert. We discussed the March of the Return in 2018, and the level of desperation required for such dangerous actions on behalf of many Palestinians who participated. The morality of the IDF was apparent to both of us in the actions we observed by teammates and those we participated in, at times risking their/our own lives to prevent civilian casualties. We also spoke abut the terror tunnels built by Hamas at a cost of $150,000,000 that was meant to build up the infrastructure of Gaza, and the tragedy of leaders who are more interested in violence than the wellbeing of their people. At the end of his service, Max created GroWings, a non-profit that brings together pre-draft lone soldiers and released lone soldiers for mentorship. The trip takes the group to Poland, where they can witness firsthand the atrocities that befell our people when we had no place to call home. Max has created a community, where released lone soldiers, new immigrants, and Israelis can help lone soldiers get housing, and find community in their new home. One of the many projects they undertake (with no overhead costs) is Mitzvah day, where people bring shabbat meals to lone soldiers apartments and check in on them. After gaining invaluable experience helping lone soldiers navigate the Aliyah process, Max realized that anyone moving to Israel needs a home and support through that process, whether it's going to government offices or getting the rights they deserve. That's what lead to the birth of Aliyah Concierge, a business centered around helping people make Aliyah. Max is in the process of developing an app that will help lone soldiers by aggregating the resources available to them into one place. Max can be reached by email at: max@telavivconcierge.com

Our Rabbis teach us how virtuous the mida of vitur is – giving in. It is also a great expression of a person's emunah. Giving in on something we wanted in order to benefit others, knowing that Hashem sees and appreciates those efforts so much. Ultimately, we will gain so much more than we seem to be giving up. And more importantly, we will be credited with a great mitzvah. This is a great tool to teach our children. As we know, children argue all the time over possessions, over seats, over privileges and much more. We should teach our children how great it is to give in and then, if a dispute ever arises, we should present them with the opportunity of being mivater and ask who wants to get that great mitzvah. As well, it is always beneficial to give stories of chizuk when teaching lessons to our children, in order to instill the lesson in them much better. Rabbi Yeshaya Rubin from Bnei Brak told that he was once driving back late at night to his home and was feeling very tired. He wanted to have someone ride with him so he wouldn't fall asleep. He stopped off at Meron and asked if anyone needed a ride to Bnei Brak. A boy and his mother hurried over and the boy said to his mother, “See? I told you we would get a ride.” When they got in the car they explained, 10 minutes before that, a bus came for Bnei Brak and stopped there but there were only 3 seats left on it. Those two were getting on the bus and they were going to their chairs, and then they heard a father and his two sons get on the bus, the children complaining about the cold. The next bus was not for another two hours. The boy and his mother felt bad for them so the boy told his mother, “I know Hashem will get us a ride, let's give them the seats.” And they got off. A few minutes after that is when Rabbi Yeshaya pulled up. Not only did they not lose, they even gained. They lived in Petach Tikvah and were planning on taking another bus from Bnei Brak to their home. Rabbi Yeshaya drove them straight and they arrived home much earlier than they would have had they taken the bus. Rabbi Chaim Zayid told that his wife went one Friday to the shuk in Rosh HaAyin where clothing was discounted by nearly 70%. It's a one day a week sale there that people wake up at 5:00 in the morning to get to. She bought a very nice shirt there for her grandchild Daniel for 130 shekel, which normally cost 400. She figured he was a size 8 so she got that size. When she tried it on him, she saw it was too small. In this shuk returns were not allowed, but exchanges were. So she went back the following Friday to exchange it for a size 10. As she pulled the shirt off the rack, another woman asked her if that was a size 10 shirt. Yes, she replied. The other woman said, “Please, could you give it to me? I need it for my child so badly and there are no other size 10's here.” Rabbi Zayid's wife thought for a moment and then she said to herself, what are the odds that another person is going to want the exact same shirt that I want and she comes in at the same moment as me and now she's pleading with me to give it to her? She said, this is Hashem setting up the entire situation , giving me the opportunity to be mivateret . This would mean she would have to forgo the 130 shekels she paid for the shirt because there was nothing else there that she could use. She happily gave in and brought that shirt back into her car. A week later, Rabbi Zayid was called to be the sandak at a brit milah in Ra'anana. He arrived there early and as they were waiting for the brit to start, the mother was taking pictures of another son of hers by a little fish pond. All of a sudden, the little boy backed up too much and fell in and his clothing got soaked. They were so distraught, the mother took off his shirt and the boy was crying. That's when Rabbi Zayid hurried to his car and brought back the size 8 shirt. They put it on the boy and it fit him perfectly. It even matched the pants. They were so appreciative. After the brit milah , the grandfather came over to Rabbi Zayid and asked him what he was doing with that shirt in his car. Rabbi Zayid answered, “Hashem runs the world and He wanted it there for you.” The grandfather refused to accept the shirt without paying and so he gave Rabbi Zayid 130 shekel. When Rabbi Zayid came home afterwards, he said to his wife, “Hashem gave us back the money for the shirt, and by you passing your test to be mivateret , you also enabled that boy to have clothing at his brother's brit milah . We always win by being mivater .

Welcome to Times Will Tell, the weekly podcast from The Times of Israel. This week, we're speaking with three different rabbis of Orthodox, Conservative and Reform denominations, in Israel and the US, about their work as congregational spiritual leaders during this high holiday period that began with Rosh Hashana on Monday night. The first rabbi to speak is Rabbi Seth Farber, an American-born rabbi living in Ra'anana, where he leads the Kehillat Netivot synagogue in his neighborhood. He talks about the logistics of running Rosh Hashana services this year, as well as some ideas from his sermon, including the destiny of the biblical Joseph who spent two years in isolation in an Egyptian prison, a formative period in his life. Our second rabbi is Rabbi Aaron Brusso of Bet Torah Synagogue in Mount Kisco in New York. He is also grappling with the realities of coronavirus restrictions in his Conservative congregation, which has both strengthened his connection with his congregants of all ages, and limited their physical presence as well. Rabbi Brusso speaks about his sermon topics, the state of everyone's empathy in this complicated time, followed by his second day open letter to the congregation's college students about Israel. Finally, we hear from Rabbi Toby Manewith, a Hebrew Union College-ordained rabbi from Chicago, who will be leading services at a nearby old age home and assisted living facility. Rabbi Manewith speaks about the particular issues confronting her aged congregation, and what they have handled over the last period. She tells one story she'll be relating on the first night of Rosh Hashanah, a folktale that will help people release their thoughts and concerns. Throughout the podcast, we listen to Ishay Ribo's "Seder HaAvoda" piece, a haunting work based solely on the prayers and liturgical poems of the Yom Kippur service.

Allison Kaplan Sommer, Ohad Zeltzer-Zubida and Noah Efron discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Listen to the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/promisedpodcast   —“Who Are You, Naftali Bennett?”— Is Israel's incipient prime minister, Naftali Bennett, the hard-line ideologue that most people take him to be? —No Place Like Home?— Must the Prime Minister's family live in the official Prime Minister's residence, even if they'd rather stay in their villa in Ra'anana, not far from Allison? —Who Let the Dogs In?— What explains Israel's canine-mania? —So We Dropped-in on the New Clubhouse App, And…— For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion, after we spent hours on the drop-in audio social media app “Clubhouse,” listening to Palestinians and Israelis try to talk, we try to get out of fetal position long enough to describe what we heard. All that and the moving new record from 75-year-old Shalom Hanoch!

Tap Into the Nuclear Sanctity of the Torah of the Ben L'ashri

Are the news and the weight of the world getting you down? Got a case of the grumps? Join us this week on Jewanced as we sit down for a super optimistic conversation with Michael Dickson, Executive Director of StandWithUs Israel and Dr. Naomi Baum, a pioneering psychologist in the field of resilience research and treatment, together the authors of the new book, ‘ISResilience – What Israelis Can Teach the World.' From well-known leaders making life-and-death decisions to ordinary people who have overcome incredible loss to do inspirational things, meet the Israelis who thrive against all odds and learn how you can too.  ISResilience is a study of a nation that has had to collectively and individually hang tough like no other country on earth. Imbued in Israel's DNA is the understanding that survival isn't optional – it's a necessity. Any Israeli could have given testimony for this book. Israelis routinely carry on with their day-to-day lives not just when things are calm and peaceful but when rockets are launched at them, during official conflicts and wars and unofficial waves of gruesome terrorism. And they don't just survive – they thrive.  Each chapter of this book profiles a diverse, compelling Israeli personality – some famous, some not, but all exceptional – and traces the characteristic that unites them all. The life lessons extrapolated from these interviewees can teach every one of us to be stronger people. Written by a communications expert and Israel analyst together with a pioneering psychologist in the field of resilience research and treatment, ISResilience brings today's most in-demand skill to life and shows how we all can benefit from the trait embodied by the nation once admired by Princess Diana as “a plucky little country.” Michael Dickson is Executive Director of StandWithUs in Israel, an international educational nonprofit dedicated to supporting Israel and fighting antisemitism around the world. Michael is a Senior Fellow at the Center for International Communication of Bar-Ilan University. In 2016, he was listed as the fourteenth most influential Jew on Twitter. He is the 2019 winner of the Bonei Zion Prize and in 2020, he was listed on the Global Jewish 100. He lives in Ra'anana, Israel with his wife and five children. Naomi L. Baum, PhD, consults and facilitates workshops on resilience building in Israel and worldwide. She created the Building Resilience Intervention (BRI), an evidence-based resilience model that has been applied widely in Israel and abroad. She was Director of the Resilience Unit at Metiv – The Israel Psychotrauma Center and co-directed the International Course in Trauma and Resilience in cooperation with the Rothberg School of the Hebrew University. She is the author of several previous books. She lives in Efrat, Israel with her husband, and is mother of seven, and grandmother of twenty.

Retrouver sa véritable identité - Pessah 5774 (Raanana)

Om den skiftande sanden i Mellanösterns maktspel. USA och Iran talar med varandra, och plötsligt fylls regionen av både hopp och bävan. Kan de upptinade relationerna leda till en verklig och varm vänskap? Vem vinner i så fall på det? Hör röster från Washington, Raanana och Doha om israelisk övergivenhet, saudiska kärnvapen och svensken som befunnit sig i den diplomatiska stormens mitt. Det har gått två knappt två månader sen det tillfälliga avtalet träffades i Geneve mellan  Iran och P5 plus 1, det vill säga Säkerhetsrådets medlemmar tillsammans med Tyskland, om Irans kärnteknikprogram. Avtalet går ut på att Iran stoppar utveckling av delar av sitt kärnteknikprogram i utbyte mot begränsade lättnader i sanktionerna. Många betraktar det som en milstolpe i en betydligt större process där USA och Iran -  som tillbringat de senaste 30 åren i fientlighet - nu verkar vara redo att närma sig varandra. En som följt denna process mycket nära är statsvetaren och Iranexperten Trita Parsi. Många här i Sverige känner till honom som en av dom mest anlitade och insiktsfulla analytikerna om Iran och USA. Men Trita Parsi är inte bara analytiker, han är, i egenskap av president för NIAC, det nationella iransk-amerkanska rådet, i allra högsta grad en spelare i detta storpolitiska drama. Och i november var han på plats vid förhandlingarna i Geneve. Frilansjournalisten Petra Socolovsky träffade honom hemma i Washington. Ett land som både står USA väldigt nära och som samtidigt har ett väldigt konfliktfyllt förhållande till Iran är Israel. Därför är det inte konstigt att man i där har reagerat starkt på den senaste tidens utveckling. Men reaktionerna har varit mycket olika i olika politiska läger. Konflikts Ivar Ekman ringde upp Aluf Benn, chefredaktör på den liberala tidningen Ha'aretz. och ledarskribenten Sarah Honig på konservativa Jerusalem Post. Ett annat land som också uttryckt oro över närmandet mellan Iran och Usa, är Usas andra nära allierade i Mellanöstern - Saudiarabien. För saudierna tolkas avtalet som skrevs i november som bara ytterligare ett tecken -  i en lång rad  - på att USA är på väg att distansera sig från Saudiarabien. Och det har skapat panik, förklarade Mehran Kamrava, professor och chef för  International and Regional Studies at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service in Qatar när Konflikts Kajsa Boglind ringde upp honom på kontoret i Doha. I studion kommenterar Frida Stranne, statsvetare och gästforskare vid American University i Washington tillsammans med Sveriges Radios utrikeskommentator Agneta Ramberg.
