In this episode of Coffee & Cap Rates, Shimon Shkury, President and Founder of Ariel Property Advisors, speaks with Sean R. Kelly, Partner at Ariel Property Advisors, about Brooklyn's commercial real estate market in the first half of 2026.The conversation covers the borough's strong development activity, rising land values, the impact of zoning and tax incentives, and growing distress in the rent-stabilized multifamily market.Key topics include:Development: Transaction volume reached approximately $1 billion, up 60% year over year, driven in part by zoning changes and the 485X tax abatement. Rent-Stabilized Multifamily: Rising operating costs, regulatory pressures, and 0% rent increases are prompting more long-term and generational owners to consider selling. Market Outlook: Sean and Shimon discuss continued activity across development, free-market multifamily, and rent-stabilized assets during the second half of 2026. More information is available in Ariel Property Advisors' Brooklyn 2026 Mid-Year Commercial Real Estate Trends report.

This episode is sponsored & dedicated in memory of the 2nd yartzeit of Marshall Friedman (Mutya Yecheskel ben Shimon) by Mark and Tammy Friedman

Pastor Jordan Shimon continues the Formation conversation with a powerful call to true discipleship. Through his own story of radical honesty and transformation, and the account of Blind Bartimaeus, he shows that Christ is formed in us only when we die to pride, personal schedules, and the demand that God move according to our plans. The power that works *in* us is what produces the vision to follow Jesus every day. A raw, practical invitation to rebirth and clear sight.

On today's page, Chullin 119, some supersized wheat leads us to the supersized integrity of Shimon ben Shetach. Whether returning a valuable jewel to its rightful owner or forcing a powerful king to answer before the law, the great sage had one rule: Put honesty above all else and fear only God.

Rashi describes the unique reality of the tribe of Shimon in being left out of blessings and curses. This requires independent explanation, particularly in light of the varying approach of Yaakov.

The incredible story of the wheat kernels of Shimon ben Shetach's generation

This shiur explores the ceremony of blessings and curses at Har Gerizim and Har Eival: why the Torah records only the curses, how the eleven mitzvos were selected, why Shimon is omitted, and the deeper meaning hidden in the harsh language. It closes with blessings for a sweet new year. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/005_devarim/007_ki_tavo/012

Ever tried explaining to your private banker why your money is spread across three countries, two exchanges, and a crypto wallet?

This one's for globally mobile customers who are tired of slow settlement times, FX fees, and banks that only pay attention once you've already made it.In this episode of The Index Podcast, Shimon breaks down why he left one of crypto's best companies to build a "secured credit card" that actually behaves like one, how Moto turns stablecoin deposits into real yield-funded cashback, and why he's betting the next $124 trillion wealth transfer won't go to Amex or JPMorgan.What we cover:

How do you build bridges after living through one of history's greatest ruptures? In this episode, Rabbi Marc Katz sits down with historian Shimon Redlich to discuss his memoir Bridge Builder: My Life Since the Holocaust (Academic Studies Press, 2026), the concluding volume of his remarkable four-part autobiographical journey. Picking up in the late 1950s, Bridge Builder follows Redlich from his years as a student in Jerusalem and the United States to his distinguished career as a professor at Ben-Gurion University. Along the way, he reflects on friendships that crossed religious and national boundaries, his encounters with Jews and non-Jews across Eastern Europe, and his willingness to engage difficult historical and political questions with honesty and empathy. More than a memoir, the book is a meditation on memory, reconciliation, and intellectual curiosity. Drawing on both personal recollection and meticulous historical research, Redlich explores what it means to carry the legacy of the Holocaust while refusing to let it become the only lens through which to view the world. His story is one of survival, but also of dialogue, scholarship, and the lifelong work of building understanding across divides. Together, Redlich and Katz discuss the relationship between memory and history, the challenges of confronting painful pasts, and why bridge-building remains one of the most important—and difficult—tasks of our time. About our contributors: Shimon Redlich, a child survivor of the Holocaust, was born in Lwow in 1935 and lived in nearby Brzezany until 1945, when he was repatriated to Lodz. He left Poland for Israel in 1950. He studied at the Hebrew University, Harvard, and New York University. He taught history at Ben-Gurion University for almost forty years. Redlich has written numerous books and articles on the history of the Jews in Eastern Europe and his memoirs, of which this book is the fourth and final volume. Rabbi Marc Katz is the Senior Rabbi at Temple Ner Tamid and the author of Yochanan's Gamble: Judaism's Pragmatic Approach to Life (JPS). Learn more about your ad choices.

In a time of transition, God is reforming how we pray. Pastor Jordan Shimon unpacks Matthew 21—Jesus cleansing the temple and cursing the fruitless fig tree—to expose appearance without fruit and transactional prayer. True prayer (proseuche) is the exchange of our desires for God's will. Honest, believing prayer removes mountains and invites real transformation.

It will add something new and exciting to the meal."He: אליאורה עצרה לרגע, לבה התלבט בין הדבקות למתכון המסורתי לברק בעיניו של שמעון.En: Eliora paused for a moment, her heart wavering between sticking to the traditional recipe and the sparkle in Shimon's eyes.He: "לא יודעת אם זה יתאים..." היא החלה לומר, אך שמעון התעקש: "בואי ניקח קצת! רק לפעם אחת."En: "I'm not sure if it will fit..." she began to say, but Shimon insisted: "Let's take some! Just for once."He: עמדו שם, נושמים את ריח התבלינים החדש.En: There they stood, breathing in the scent of the new spices.He: ההתלבטות שרקה שם ברגע אחד נוצץ של סמכות משותפת.En: The deliberation hovered there in one shining moment of shared authority.He: אליאורה נשמה עמוק והחליטה: "בסדר, ננסה את זה."En: Eliora took a deep breath and decided, "Alright, let's try it."He: הם קנו מעט מהתבלין המסקרן.En: They bought a little of the intriguing spice.He: בדרך חזרה הביתה, אליאורה החלה להרגיש התרגשות חדשה.En: On the way back home, Eliora started to feel a new excitement.He: בערב, כאשר עמדו במטבח המלא בריחות ובטעמים, היא חייכה לשמעון ואמרה, "אולי באמת עדיף לפעמים לנסות משהו חדש."En: In the evening, when they stood in the kitchen full of scents and flavors, she smiled at Shimon and said, "Maybe it really is better sometimes to try something new."He: התבלין המסתורי הוסיף ניחוח מופלא למנה, והארוחה הייתה מוצלחת במיוחד.En: The mysterious spice added a wonderful aroma to the dish, and the meal was especially successful.He: אליאורה הבינה שאין צורך לפחד מהמוכר, לפעמים חידושים מביאים איתם הפתעות נעימות.En: Eliora realized there's no need to fear the unfamiliar; sometimes innovations bring pleasant surprises.He: וכך, במחנה יהודה, במהומה של צבע וריח, השניים לִמדו שניהם משהו חדש על בישול ועל אמנות החיים.En: And so, at Mahane Yehuda, in the bustle of color and aroma, the two of them learned something new about cooking and the art of life.

 Questions? Comments? We love feedback! Email us at info@baishavaad.org Rav Dovid JosilowskyQuestion: Reuven asks his associate, Shimon, for a loan of $100k. Shimon only agrees to give the loan if Reuven signs over to him the deed of a property worth $500k that will serve as collateral until the loan is repaid. Reuven agrees to these terms.After a while, Shimon decides that he wants to purchase this property. He tells Reuven that he has two choices – either he legitimately sells him the property for its value, or he will keep it for himself without paying, as the deed has already been signed over to him in any case. Left with no other option, Reuven agrees to sell the property to Shimon.Sometime later, Reuven finds a shtar in which Shimon acknowledges that the property was originally given to him as a mashkon. Can he now use this proof to invalidate the sale?Answer: All of the Rishonim agree that if someone simply takes something and pays for it without doing anything else to force the sale, that is not considered the type of sale under duress that is valid in halacha. On the other hand, if there is a clear duress placed upon the owner until he agrees to sell, it would be valid. But in this case, it is not clear whether it would be the type of forced sale that is valid or not. The reason is that perhaps a forced sale is only considered valid when there is an “outside” duress at play, such as bodily harm. If there is no duress besides the forced sale itself, it could be argued that it is not a valid sale because we have no reason to assume the seller has consented. There appears to be an argument between the Rambam and the Ramban on this point, and consequently, it will be difficult to prove that the sale is invalid unless he declared a Modaah.

Email us at info@baishavaad.org Rav Yosef GreenwaldQuestion: Reuven asks Shimon, a business professional, to join him for lunch in a restaurant in order to ask him some business-related questions. When the bill comes, Shimon expects Reuven to pay for his meal; however, it soon became clear that Shimon was not planning on doing so. Can Shimon tell Reuven that he should pay?Answer: The Poskim discuss a case where someone tells his friend to come eat a meal with him. Most Poskim say that if he doesn't expressly tell his friend that he will be sponsoring, it cannot be assumed that the meal is free.The exception to this rule would be if it is standard industry practice that someone seeking information pays for the entire meal of the other party. If that were the case, it can be assumed that he is paying for the meal. Otherwise, this assumption cannot be made.There are some Poskim who disagree and say that if someone invites his friend for a meal, even if he doesn't expressly say that it is free, it can be assumed that he won't charge for it. Since this a machlokes haposkim, the muchzik will have the upper hand. Still, as long as the meal isn't paid for yet, the one who invited his friend to the restaurant cannot be forced to pay on behalf of the invitee.Question: Can Shimon then say that if his meal is not being paid for, he will consider this a business meeting and will charge for the advice he is giving?Answer: If it is the norm in the industry to charge for this type of advice, then he could make that claim.

 Questions? Comments? We love feedback! Email us at info@baishavaad.org Rav Yosef GreenwaldQuestion: Reuven pays a lot of money to fly in a famous singer to perform at his simcha. Shimon hears that this singer is coming to town and hires him to sing at his simcha as well. Reuven says that Shimon should pay for half of the plane ticket and related expenses because he is benefiting from having the singer in town. Is he correct? Answer: The Poskim discuss a case where Reuven invests money in a property that he believes to be his. Later, he discovers that he made a mistake and the property actually belongs to Shimon.The Nesivos Hamishpat says that Reuven cannot charge Shimon for his work because he did it for himself, not for Shimon. The Ketzos Hachoshen argues and says that since, at the end of the day, he improved Shimon's property, he can demand payment for his work.It would seem that our case is similar, as Reuven paid for the ticket for himself and Shimon derived benefit from that. It could thus be argued that the halacha would hinge on the machlokes between the Ketozs and Nesivos.However, I believe that in this case, everyone would agree that Shimon does not have to pay for any of the traveling expenses. In the Poskim's case, Reuven did work on Shimon's property and upgraded the property. In our case, Reuven didn't do any work “on Shimon's property.” He only did work for himself and Shimon happened to benefit from that. I believe that even the Ketzos would agree that Shimon does not have to pay for the travel expenses in this case.

WHEN ANTI SEMITISM WINS… It spurs people to action, and that is exactly what is happening in the 1st Congressional District, where Democrats just voted to send an anti-American anti-Semite to the general election in a safe Democratic district. I’m going to be joined by Shimon Blau today at 1. He was so horrified by the thought of another Democratic Jew hater joining Congress he is on a whirlwind tour to get his name on the ballot as an Independent. I know nothing about him other than what he sent me in an email, which is: I am a 50-year-old semi-retired physician, born and raised in Denver. At age 13, I left to attend school elsewhere and returned to Denver about 13 years ago. My father was a Holocaust survivor from Poland, and my mother immigrated from France. Through extraordinary hard work and sacrifice, they achieved the American dream and instilled in our family the values of integrity, personal responsibility, and service to others. I can see what Milat Kiros upset him so. He will be on today at 1. Find out more about Shimon by clicking here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pinchas, Aaron's grandson, did a valorous and zealous act of bravery when he skewered the prince of the tribe of Shimon and stopped the plague from wiping out the entire nation. What motivated Pinchas' behavior? What attributes were at play during his act of zealotry? This question is answered in a comment in Rashi in our Parsha. We learn how qualities and attributes that are present in antecedents are manifested in their descendants. Character is heritable. That same theme is featured elsewhere in our Parsha, when the daughter is of Tzalafchad seek a portion in the land of Israel, in a manner similar to that of their antecedent Joseph. When we zoom out, we discover that the heritability of character, both good and bad, is featured in many many places in the literature. The lessons and the takeaways are profound.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

If a bird has a dislocated femur, the bird is nonetheless kosher. But it seems that the same sage said that it was not kosher - in Pompedita, leading to an observation that different stringencies applied in different communities. One element of the decision being where the break occurs in the bird's leg. [Who's Who: Rabbi Shimon bar Halafta] Also, efforts to demonstrate that an animal that had been dubbed a treyfa is really not a treyfa - experiments by R. Shimon bar Halafta to disprove Rabbi Yehudah, including the shenanigans at an ant hill that apparently has no king.

 Questions? Comments? We love feedback! Email us at info@baishavaad.org Rav Yosef GreenwaldQuestion: Reuven pays for two seats in his shul. He uses one for himself and the other one is meant for his son. However, his son prefers to daven elsewhere and rarely sits in his seat. Shimon notices the empty seat and begins to sit there every week. Eventually, Reuven tells him that since he is using the seat, he should pay for it. Is Reuven correct? Answer: This would seem like a case of zeh neheneh v'zeh lo chaseir. Since Shimon is not causing Reuven a loss, it would seem that he should be patur.The Gemara says that two conditions must be met in order to make someone pay for a hana'ah that he receives. 1. The owner must be having a loss in the sense that he could rent out the property being used if the other person wasn't there. In this case, since Reuven cannot sell the other seat, he would not be able to charge for its use. 2. The person having hana'ah can only be obligated to pay for something that would otherwise pay for. In this case, that would mean that Shimon would have to be the type of person who would pay for another seat if this one wasn't available. Whereas, if he is the type of person who wouldn't pay for a seat and would just stand in the back if there was no free seat available, the Gemara implies that he could not be obligated to pay.  Going forward, if Reuven continues to pay for the seat and he wants to use it to put down his talis bag or his coat and hat, he may prevent Shimon from sitting there in the future because he needs the seat for himself. Still, because Shimon is not considered a nehene because he wouldn't pay for a seat in any case, he may not be able to charge him for sitting there.However, practically speaking, although the Gemara implies to say that one can only charge the person having hana'ah if he is the type of person who would pay for such a benefit, the Poskim rule like the opinion of the Rif that this condition does not need to be met and one can charge someone for using something that is theirs and causing them a loss even if the person would not have been willing to pay for such hana'ah. 

 Questions? Comments? We love feedback! Email us at info@baishavaad.org Rav Yosef Greenwald, Rav of K'hal Dexter ParkQuestion: Reuven and Shimon are business partners. Due to a clerical error on behalf of the IRS, Reuven's personal taxes were charged to the partnership. Can Shimon demand that Reuven reimburse the business for the money that he should have paid individually? Answer: The Gemara talks about a case where the king's tax collectors take taxes from from grain that was not yet tithed, in lieu of money that was the owner was really supposed to pay. The Gemara says that even though the owner didn't really gain anything new – as he merely didn't have to give away some of his money – and he didn't actually take anything from maaser – as the tax collectors took the money, not him – he still is liable to reimburse the amount of the maaser. This chiyuv is called “mishtarshi”. The Ketzos Hachoshen explains that mishtarshi means that because one person's bottom line is bigger than it otherwise would have been because of his friend's expenditure or loss, it is considered as if the friend now owns part of his assets; therefore, the beneficiary will have to reimburse him the full amount that he lost because of him. Based on this rule, Reuven would be liable to reimburse the partnership for the money he gained by not paying his personal taxes.

What if prophecy is about far more than receiving a word about your future? In this powerful message, The Testimony of Prophecy, Pastor Jordan Shimon challenges modern misconceptions about the prophetic and calls believers back to the true foundation of prophecy: the life and testimony of Jesus Christ. Drawing from Revelation 19, Matthew 7, and 1 Corinthians 14, Pastor Jordan reveals that authentic prophecy is not measured by accuracy, signs, wonders, or personal fulfillment. Instead, true prophecy flows from a life surrendered to Christ, shaped by obedience, humility, patience, and intimacy with the Father. As the Church navigates an era of confusion surrounding prophetic ministry, this message offers biblical clarity, calling believers away from sensationalism and toward a prophetic lifestyle that reflects the character, nature, and testimony of Jesus. Be encouraged, challenged, and reminded that God's ultimate goal is not simply to give prophetic words—but to form Christ within us.

Dennis Prager's latest episode of Timeless Wisdom delves into the complexities of human nature, morality, and the Torah's teachings on love and compassion. In this thought-provoking discussion, the speaker explores the story of Dinah, Jacob's daughter, who was defiled by a man from a neighboring clan, and the subsequent actions of her brothers, Shimon and Levi, who take revenge by slaughtering the entire male population of the clan. The episode touches on the themes of rape, violence, and the treatment of women in ancient societies, highlighting the problematic attitudes towards women's agency and autonomy. The speaker also examines the concept of circumcision as a condition for intermarriage and the implications of this practice on the relationships between different cultures. Throughout the discussion, the speaker draws on his own experiences and insights to shed light on the complexities of human nature and the importance of moral values in shaping our actions. One of the key points of the episode is the speaker's argument that the Torah's greatest moral achievement is the commandment to love the stranger, and that this principle is essential in promoting compassion and understanding towards those who are different from us. The speaker also discusses the idea that our nature is often at odds with our conscience, and that we need strong moral values to guide us in making good choices.
