Gabi Harow and Elro'i Kapach speak with Eve about their upcoming New York marathon run for Shalva and why it's a huge success for the human spirit. Then Eve Harow herself shares some thoughts, impressions and Torah as we end this extraordinarily difficult, challenging yet somehow also spiritually uplifting 5784. With heartfelt prayers that the hostages will be celebrating freedom soon, for the wellbeing and healing of the incredible soldiers of the blessed Israel Defense Forces and Hashem's continued open dedication to His people in their promised land. Fortunately He neither slumbers nor sleeps. (Neither do many of us but that's not as relevant) Shana Tova. Photo Caption: Yishai Ribo concert Jerusalem September 30, 2024; eve of Rosh Hashana 5785

Our guest this week is Jonathan Polin of Jerusalem, Israel who is a serial entrepreneur, father of three, including son, Hersh, who very tragically was taken hostage on October 7, 2023, during the Hamas led attacks on Israel.    This episode was recorded on August 29, 2024, day #328 since Hamas attacked Israel, killing 1,200 (mostly civilians from 23 countries) and taking more than 220 hostages, including Hersh Goldberg-Polin. Jonathan and his wife, Rachel Goldberg-Polin, both born and raised in Chicago, have been married for 27 years and are the proud parents of two daughters: Leebi and Orly as well as Hersh (23), who shockingly lost his left hand and forearm in a grenade explosion during the October 7th attacks. Quite tragically, Hersh's best friend, Aner Shapira, lost his life on October 7th protecting fellow concert goers, by deflecting seven Hamas grenades thrown into an above ground bomb shelter, before he was shot and killed.Jon and Rachel have become outspoken advocates on behalf of all the hostages and thrust into the lime-light, meeting with members of the United Nations in Geneva, meeting with Pope Francis as well as U.S. President Joe Biden and more recently, they appeared on stage, at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on August 21st.  Days after this interview was recorded, we learned that the IDF recovered the bodies of six hostages, including Hersh, who had been executed within the past 24-48 hours. On September 2nd, while eulogizing Hersh, at his funeral, Jonathan said “We failed you, we all failed you.  Maybe your death is the stone, the fuel, that will bring home the 101 other hostages.”The Goldberg-Polin story is about and an ordinary American-Israeli family swept up into the most recent chapter of the Middle-East conflict and how through grit and steadfast determination they conducted themselves, to rescue their son and all the October 7th hostages. Email – jonpolin@gmail.comLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-polin-9824571/Personal Website - https://www.theimpactguy.com/Israeli Network for Life Enhancing Technologies (INLET) – https://www.inlet.co.il/DNC Speech From August, 21, 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PleW3qZSxQHamas Released Video Hersh Goldberg-Polin May 2024 -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJeOoeCDgKwYouTube - Anderson Cooper's Connection To Hersh Goldberg-Polin - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEW8H34zEGwHostage & Missing Families Forum - https://stories.bringthemhomenow.net/Shalva – https://www.shalva.org/Parent Circle - https://www.theparentscircle.org/en/homepage-en/Special Fathers Network - SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs.

"Communication is the core of everything.” Jordyn Scorpio is the Director of Community Education at SHALVA, the oldest independent Jewish domestic abuse agency in the United States. As part of her Seven Circles program, she helps to educate Jewish couples on abuse prevention, which starts with identifying the differences between healthy, unhealthy and abusive relationships, which exist on a spectrum. Healthy relationships include healthy conflict which provide opportunities for both individuals to learn and grow, while at the heart of abuse is a need to assert power and control over someone. This is why listening to your gut instinct–whether you are the one in the relationship, or a concerned loved one—is so important: if something seems weird, it's weird, says Jordyn.    Signs of abuse, however subtle, present themselves early and they can get buried under a lot of confusing messaging. It's easy to be blinded by abusers' high status or social charm, and it's true that even abusive relationships can include a lot of love. Jordyn reveals personality traits that abusers commonly exhibit as well as red flags to look out for when anyone starts a new relationship.    Parents can introduce prevention education to their teenagers, spotting yellow flags and opening up conversations about them. This includes questioning portrayals of love and romance in film as well as appointing a safe adult to confide in. In a world filled with diverse relationship dynamics, understanding and recognizing the spectrum of characteristics from what is healthy to what is dangerous is so important. Jordyn's insights offer not only a guide to navigating our own relationships but how we can support others to create safe and nurturing connections.   Quotes “Conflict can be really healthy. If there's conflict happening, that means that you're both two independent people with independent lives, opinions and voices. And that breeds conflict sometimes. But that's a beautiful thing to have in a relationship.” (12:12 | Jordyn) “What's difficult about the topic of domestic abuse in general is it's hard for people to distinguish between healthy, unhealthy and abusive. It is on a spectrum. And if it was really easy to define, and very black and white, then it would be easy to say, ‘This isn't good, I'm getting out.'” (13:41 | Jordyn) “Trust your gut. If you feel like something was weird, something was weird. We're really trained as young women to not trust our guts and to be the nice person.” (18:15 | Jordyn)  “At the core of it, it is about power and control.  That is the definition. It's about somebody asserting power and control over somebody else. And they just find different tools to do it since the dawn of time.” (25:53 | Jordyn)  “The idea that hurt people hurt people is very relevant in an abusive relationship. All of these people doing this are not sociopaths. They likely saw abuse in their homes and that's how they saw love.” (29:53 | Jordyn) SHALVA Resources and Support: If you are in urgent need of support, SHALVA's Help/Crisis Line is open 24/7, call 1-773-583-HOPE (4673) Learn more about SHALVA: www.shalvacares.org  Follow SHALVA on Facebook & Instagram @shalvachicago Learn more about Seven Circles: www.sevencirclesjourney.org  Follow Seven Circles on Facebook & Instagram @sevencircleschicago   Connect With Leslie: Six Steps to Help Your Teen Cultivate Confidence: https://www.confidencecoachforgirls.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_coach_chronicles/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CoachChronicles/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Puffed wheat – or "Shalva" in Hebrew – is manufactured from whole wheat kernels that are either cooked, baked or air popped. Which Beracha does one recite on puffed wheat? Should one recite "Bore Mine Mezonot," given that this product is made from wheat, or does the fact that the kernels remain whole change their status with respect to the Beracha?The Shulhan Aruch explicitly rules (Orah Haim 208:4; listen to audio for precise citation) that one who eats raw or whole kernels of grain recites the Beracha of "Bore Peri Ha'adama." The Beracha of "Bore Mine Mezonot" is reserved for products made from processed wheat; if one partakes of whole grains, he recites "Ha'adama" just as one would before eating a vegetable.This Halacha applies not only to whole grain cereals such as Puffed Wheat, but also to granola bars, which are made from rolled oats. The grains remain whole throughout the process, and therefore they require the Beracha of "Bore Peri Ha'adama," as opposed to "Bore Mine Mezonot" unless the grains are cooked, which would make the Beracha -Mezonot.Which Beracha Aharona does one recite after eating these foods?The Shulhan Aruch addresses this question in the aforementioned passage and initially rules that after eating whole grains one recites "Bore Nefashot." Since whole grains are not treated as grain products with respect to Berachot, as evidenced by the fact that before eating these foods one recites "Ha'adama," after eating one would recite "Bore Nefashot," as opposed to "Al Ha'mihya" which is recited over grain products.However, after presenting this view, the Shulhan Aruch proceeds to record that the Tosefot (school of French and German Talmud scholars) expressed some ambivalence in this regard. They were unsure as to whether after eating whole grains one should recite the Beracha of "Bore Nefashot" or "Al Ha'mihya." Tosefot therefore advised avoiding this situation by eating whole grains only in the context of a bread meal, so that the Birkat Ha'mazon recited after the meal will cover the grains according to all views. Alternatively, one can eat whole grains together with other foods requiring "Bore Nefashot" and "Al Ha'mihya," such that he would have to recite both Berachot in any event.If one did eat whole grains independently, rather than in a meal or together with other foods, which Beracha Aharona should he recite? People very often eat granola bars as a snack, and two granola bars certainly exceeds the minimum required Shiur (quantity) to warrant the recitation of a Beracha Aharona. Which Beracha should one recite in such a case?This issue is subject to a dispute among the Halachic authorities. Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Jerusalem, 1923-1998), in his work Or L'sion (vol. 2, p. 127), rules that in such a case one does not recite a Beracha Aharona at all. Since there is some doubt as to whether the proper Beracha is "Bore Nefashot" or "Al Ha'mihya," and neither of these two Berachot satisfies the requirement to recite the other, it is best not to recite any Beracha in such a case. This is also the ruling of Rabbi Moshe Halevi (Israel, 1961-2001), in his work Birkat Hashem (vol. 2, p. 129).Hacham Ovadia Yosef, however, in his work Hazon Ovadia (Laws of Berachot, p. 183), disagrees, and rules that in such a case one should recite "Bore Nefashot," in accordance with the first view cited in the Shulhan Aruch. The Shulhan Aruch here mentions one view anonymously and then cites an authority expressing the contrary opinion. This presentation is known as "Setam Ve'yesh," and a basic rule in studying the Shulhan Aruch establishes that in such instances the Shulhan Aruch viewed the first recorded view as the more authoritative opinion. Hence, in this case, the Shulhan Aruch favored the view requiring that one recite "Bore Nefashot" after partaking of whole grains.At first glance, one might question the Hacham's rationale by noting that this situation is a case of "Safek Berachot," meaning, where the authorities disagree with regard to a Beracha. In such cases, Halacha always requires that one refrain from reciting the Beracha in question – even if the Shulhan Aruch accepts the position that the Beracha is warranted.Hacham Ovadia addresses this question and responds that in this instance, the uncertainty expressed by Tosefot does not suffice to render this a case of "Safek Berachot." Had Tosefot ruled unequivocally that one recites "Al Ha'mihya" after eating whole grains, then we would indeed have been faced with a situation of "Safek Berachot" and would have therefore ruled that no Beracha should be recited. However, Tosefot merely expressed their uncertainty concerning this issue, and this uncertainty cannot undermine the definitive ruling of the Shulhan Aruch that the proper Beracha in such a case is "Bore Nefashot." What more, Hacham Ovadia adds, a large list of Rishonim (Medieval Talmudic scholars) – including the Behag, Rav Saadia Gaon, the Sefer Ha'eshkol, the R'avya, the Rashba, the Rashbatz, the Semag, the Meiri, the Hashlama and the Ritva – concur with the first view cited by the Shulhan Aruch, that one recites "Bore Nefashot" after eating whole grains. Hacham Ovadia even speculates that had Hacham Bension Abba Shaul seen the ruling of all these Rishonim, he would have likely concluded that one should recite "Bore Nefashot" after eating whole grains. Hence, in his view, one who eats whole grains should recite after eating the Beracha of "Bore Nefashot," though it is preferable to avoid this situation as mentioned above.Summary: One who eats whole grain products such as puffed wheat or granola bars recites "Bore Peri Ha'adama" before eating, and, if he ate a "Ke'zayit" or more, "Bore Nefashot" after eating. Preferably, however, one should eat these products only in the context of a bread meal or together with other foods requiring "Bore Nefashot" and "Al Ha'mihya," in order to avoid the Halachic debate concerning the Beracha recited after eating whole grains.
