There's something uncanny happening in the background of the Israel-Hamas war right now. Do you see it? The Torah seems to be predicting... everything. In the recent Torah portion of Noah's Arc, "Hamas" is mentioned twice... TWICE! Since then there have been other important correlations that have acted as milestones in this conflict. With the eyes of the world focused on the Middle East, Torah-observant Jews have made it clear that there's something to be said about the coincidental appearance of Hamas in this story and in other parts of the Torah. As someone who regularly observes and studies the Torah, Rabbi Avrohom Rapoport (also known as Rabbi Raps) connects the dots and helps us understand why there's no such thing as coincidence. In a dvar Torah unlike any other, Rabbi Raps teaches host Chaz Volk why this occurs and what it means for the future of the Jewish state.

Questions For When You Are Gone with Rabbi Steve Leder     “If you are afraid of dying it's not your day. Anxiety is for the living. So if you are worried and anxious about dying, you're not dying, which means you have time to let death teach you about living and loving your life.” – Rabbi Steve Leder   “Most people die exactly the way they live.” – Rabbi Steve Leder   “The meaning of life is that it stops.” German author Franz Kafka (1883-1924)       Episode Summary:   What can death teach you about how to live your life?   Today we talk with Rabbi Steve Leder, currently serving as the Senior Rabbi of Wilshire Boulevard Temple, a prestigious synagogue in Los Angeles with three campuses and 2,700 families.     He has been a regular contributor and guest on the Today Show, writes regularly for TIME, Foxnews.com, Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper, contributed a chapter to “Charles Barkley's book Who's Afraid of a Large Black Man?', and has published essays in Town and Country, the Los Angeles Times, and USA Today.  Newsweek Magazine twice named him one of the ten most influential rabbis in America.   Most important to Steve is being Betsy's husband and Aaron and Hannah's dad.  He is also a Jew who likes to fish.  Go figure.   After undergraduate study at Northwestern University and Trinity College, Oxford University, Rabbi Leder received a Master's Degree in Hebrew Letters in 1986 and Rabbinical Ordination in 1987 from Hebrew Union College.    His book “More Beautiful Than Before; How Suffering Transforms Us”, published in 2017, reached #4 on Amazon's overall best sellers list in its first week.  It remains a best seller in several categories and has been translated into Korean and Chinese.    His book “The Beauty of What Remains; How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift” was published by Penguin Random House in January, 2021.  Publisher's weekly called it “…elegant and compassionate” and it quickly became a national best seller.    Rabbi Leder's newest book “For You When I Am Gone; Twelve Essential Questions to Tell a Life Story”, also published by Penguin Random House, launches on June 7, 2022       Rabbi Leder has served literally thousands of people and their families around their deaths.

This past week we celebrated Lag Ba'Omer (5782) - marking two years of On This Day in Jewish History / Two Tall Jews Show While it sounds cliché, it is hard to comprehend the 2 year anniversary of OTDJH. When everything we do involves outlining history's process, it can be odd to alter our thinking to focus on ours. This whole process has been an exercise in turning one's passion into an obligation. So much of this journey has been about appreciating that process. Thank you for being here with us every step of the way. We are excited about what's next and excited to say we are only just getting started. On today's show we are pleased to ALSO have Rabbi Steve Leder of the Wilshire Boulevard Temple in Los Angeles. A graduate of Northwestern, Rabbi Leder received a Masters in Hebrew Letters in 1986 and his Rabbinical Ordination from Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati the following year. In 1987 he joined the Wilshire Boulevard Temple and has served as the congregation's senior rabbi since 2003. He is the author of four books and most recently, “The Beauty of What Remains: How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift” which was published in January.

He is also a Jew who likes to fish. Go figure.

This week I am honoured to introduce one of the most humble, disciplined and committed person I have met in recent years. He came and sat on a table that my sister and I were sitting at in Merrimack College, North Andover, MA. His conversation with us and humble demeanor couldn't tell that he was a highly accomplished Rabbi who was the winner of the 2012 Goldziher Prize, would present the 2014 Goldziher Lecture on, “From Cairo to Qatar, Oman and Beyond: Jewish-Muslim Dialogue in the U.S. and Internationally.”  I do not remember the exact words but at the podium he said something on these lines that don't just sit, plan and discuss, go out and do something, "go feed the hungry." His whole speech was fascinating. And I am happy that he remembered me after almost more than 3 years when I met him at a conference of Sister Hood of Salam-Shalom in New Jersey and agreed to have this conversation.  http://www.jtsa.edu/burton-l-visotzky BA, University of Illinois; EdM, Harvard University; MA, Rabbinical Ordination, PhD, and DHL (hon.), The Jewish Theological Seminary; Life Member, Clare Hall, University of Cambridge Burton L.

As a young man he studied German, Polish, mathematics, history and Yiddish literature including secular Yiddish poets. Due his broad education he decided to pursue academics and become a scholar in Jewish philosophy. He migrated to to the U.S. fleeing persecution in Europe and became one of authoritative voices for civil rights and anti-war in the 1960s.
