Podcast appearances and mentions of rebecca friedman

When people asked “Where are you from?” Danielle was never sure if they wanted to know the places she'd lived or whether they just thought she looked foreign. She didn't know many families like hers in mainstream Jewish America. These days, there's growing awareness about the diversity of the Jewish experience.  Co-creators / Co-executive producers - Danielle Dardashti and Galeet Dardashti The Nightingale of Iran - nightingaleofiran.com  Presented by The Jewish Telegraphic Agency, a publication of 70 Faces Media Host - Danielle Dardashti Writer / Director / Senior Producer - Danielle Dardashti Producer / Musical Director / Subject Matter Expert - Galeet Dardashti Audio Editors / Sound Designers - Rebecca Seidel and Zachary Goldberg Story Editor - Rider Alsop Story Consultant - Asal Ehsanipour Composer of Theme Song - Galeet Dardashti: “Melekh” from her album Monajat, featuring Younes Dardashti (with Shanir Blumenkranz, Max ZT, Zafer Tawil, Philip Mayer) In Episode 6, Where I am From, you heard our conversations with: Farid Dardashti, Michelle Dardashti, Roni Sarig, Raquel Sarig, Evan Mateen, Tarlan Rabizadeh, and Lior Sternfeld.

Houri Dardashti, Danielle and Galeet's grandmother, had long dreamed of moving to Israel from Iran. But life was improving for Jews in Iran, and her husband Younes had become a famous radio star there. So it seemed to her that the dream of moving to Israel wasn't going to happen. But after Farid left Iran for college in America, one by one his siblings started leaving Iran for Israel. And eventually, Houri and Younes moved to Israel, too. But Younes, the Iranian star, felt like an outsider in Israel.

On his way from Iran to America, where he planned to study architecture in college, Danielle and Galeet's father Farid spent the summer in Israel. While walking down a Tel Aviv street one day, a man recognized him from Iranian TV and invited him to sing at an event that week. The night Farid sang, a family of visiting Americans heard him, and it changed the course of his entire life. Once he arrived in the United States, a new pursuit pulled Farid further and further away from his Iranian identity.

Danielle and Galeet's father, Farid Dardashti, was born in Tehran in 1942, the oldest of Houri and Younes Dardashti's five children, all of whom had natural musical talent. Farid's gorgeous voice kept earning him invitations to perform, but his parents didn't want him to pursue music. To make them proud, he applied to study architecture in America. While waiting for his visa and acceptance to college, he got offered his own weekly show singing on Iranian TV – and he was an instant hit. He quickly became a teen idol, a rising star. But when his visa came through, he left the country as planned – and never once considered staying to grow his fame as a singer. This didn't make any sense to Danielle and Galeet. But that's because they were missing an important piece of the story.

Danielle and Galeet's grandfather Younes Dardashti grew up an orphan in Tehran's Jewish ghetto. He was gifted with a gorgeous voice, but had a difficult childhood: He lived with an abusive uncle who forbade him from singing. In his late teens, he left his uncle's house, got a job with the Iranian Railroad and, years later, he married Houri Aziz-Zadeh. In the 1940s, life changed rapidly for the Jews of Iran – a new Shah granted equal rights to Jews, women, and other marginalized groups. Jews could move out of the ghetto into neighborhoods integrated with Muslims. One night, Younes found himself at a party attended by Qamar-ol-Moluk Vaziri, a famous female Muslim singer.  Suddenly, the power went out. And in the dark and quiet, Younes started to sing. This was the moment that everything changed, and he became The Nightingale of Iran.

From the nostalgic landed estate with its backward gaze to the present-focused and efficient urban apartment to the utopian communal dreams of a Soviet future, the idea of time was deeply embedded in Russian domestic life. I sat down with my mentor, Rebecca Friedman to talk about her new book, Modernity, Domesticity and Temporality in Russia: Time at Home which was published in August, 2020 by Bloomsbury Publishing. Dr. Friedman is Associate Professor of History and Director of the Wolfsonian Public Humanities Lab at Florida International University. She is the author of Masculinity, Autocracy, and the Russian University and co-editor for a number of volumes about gender in Russia. Dr. Friedman is the first to weave together these twin concepts of time and space in relation to Russian culture and, in doing so, this book reveals how the revolutionary domestic experiments reflected a desire by the state and by individuals to control the rapidly changing landscape of modern Russia. Drawing on extensive popular and literary sources, both visual and textual, this fascinating book enables readers to understand the reshaping of Russian space and time as part of a larger revolutionary drive to eradicate, however ambivalently, the 19th-century gentrified sloth in favor of the proficient Soviet comrade. As Modernity, Domesticity and Temporality in Russia explains, amidst such public turmoil Russians turned inwards, embracing and carefully curating the home in an effort to express both personal and national identities. This was a wonderful and engaging conversation about the past, the present, the future, and the Russian-ness of it all. Enjoy! Rozzmery Palenzuela Vicente is a PhD Candidate in the Department of History at Florida International University. Her dissertation examines the cultural and intellectual politics surrounding black motherhood in twentieth-century Cuba. Twitter: @RozzmeryPV Learn more about your ad choices.

Defining American foreign policy and the Global Order has become increasingly complicated. This next podcast gives us yet another opportunity to tackle this difficult issue. Rebecca Friedman Lissner has written a number of articles, some with her colleague Mira Rapp-Hooper, on just this topic. In late 2017, Rebecca wrote an article in Foreign Affairs reviewing the Trump Administration’s just released National Security Policy – “The National Security Strategy is Not a Strategy”. Then in the Washington Quarterly in 2018 with her colleague Mira Rapp-Hooper they wrote: “The Day after Trump: American Strategy for a New International Order”. And most recently with Mira the two have published, again in Foreign Affairs, “Why the Liberal Order is More than a Myth”. In this latest article Rebecca and Mira argue that the United States will not be able to reclaim its former hegemonic role and instead they call for an “Openess-based strategy”. As the two wrote, “rather than wasting its still considerable power on quixotic bids to restore the liberal order or remake the world in its own image, the United States should focus on what it can realistically achieve: … Openess, not dominance should be the goal.” Rebecca is currently an Assistant Professor in the Strategic and Operational Research Department at the U.S. Naval War College. Come listen to this new voice on American foreign policy in the Trump era and beyond.

Masturbation. Think of it as sex with your best friend. Even though few women openly discuss their personal DIY time, studies show that 90% of us are rubbing one out on the regular. That means 9 out of 10 women are doing something right. Because masturbation is not a deviant act. It’s actually a revolutionary act against the patriarchy, with genuine health, sex and beauty benefits. FACT: You’re more likely to reach orgasms during sex with a partner if you know exactly the kind of touch your body needs to get there. FACT: The more orgasms you have, the more you want. FACT: During menopause, the vagina can narrow, which can make intercourse more painful. But masturbation can help boost blood flow, relieve some tissue and moisture problems, and increase sexual desire. FACT: Masturbating can release the feel-good hormone Oxytocin, which can naturally relieve stress and anxiety. FACT: Masturbation works like Mindful Meditation. Rubbing one out is a great way to help anchor you into the present moment. FACT: Shirley Jones, TV’s beloved Mrs. Partridge, revealed in her tell-all memoir that her secret for staying so youthful and vibrant is — daily, you guessed it, MASTURBATION! I think I love you, Shirley Jones! On this episode, I interview pleasure ninja, Rebecca Friedman, the co-founder (along with Carla Birnberg) of YourBoxBox.com. Your Box Box is a women’s monthly self-care subscription box. Each shipment contains an entire experience to spark self-connection; beginning with scene-setting bath salts / bath bombs / aromatherapy lotions, each box also includes science-based reading materials, adult accessories and pleasure products, and a sweet treat to prolong the afterglow. According to their website: Your Box Box is more than a purveyor of pleasure products; we are a masturbation movement. A group of like-minded individuals who believe orgasms are not a luxury but a right and pleasure is the ultimate self-care. Hell to the yes!!! You’d easily plunk down $200 for some pseudo-science, anti-aging serum you’d find at Walgreens. Turns out, all you need to stay young and vibrant might just be a sex toy and a dream. Here’s a special Sex Ed The Musical listener discount from the folks at Your Box Box. Click, save and enjoy! https://yourboxbox.com/discount/MUSICAL WOMEN, PLEASE STEP AWAY FROM THE JUDGMENT!!! Masturbation is self-care of the highest order. Think of it as yoga — but without buying $300 lycra pants, searching for parking and you never have to be next to some rando with a man bun who smells like kombucha. Unless you’re into that. Listen, learn and then rub one out. Your best friend will thank you.
