This week's learning is sponsored by Dvora Lopez in loving memory of her mother on her 51st yahrzeit. "She had great strength and abundant love." This week's learning is sponsored by the Futornick family in honor of Shira's 21st birthday. This week's learning is sponsored by Yisroel and Masha Rotman, for a refuah shleima, a complete and speedy recovery, for Elisheva Mindel bat Masha Tzivia. The Mishna appears to contradict itself regarding general oaths about eating. It implies that a general oath "not to eat" would not include foods that cannot be eaten (which would encompass non-kosher food), yet another case in the Mishna rules that someone who makes a general oath "not to eat" does include non-kosher food in that prohibition. Two different resolutions are offered. The first resolution distinguishes between someone who made a general oath ("I will not eat") and someone who made a specific oath ("I will not eat regular and non-kosher foods"). The sages provide two different interpretations for why an oath that specifically mentions both non-kosher and kosher foods would be effective. Difficulties are raised against both positions, and one remains unresolved. The second interpretation explains that the previous implication from the Mishna is incorrect—"foods that cannot be eaten" refers to truly inedible items and does not include non-kosher foods, which are technically edible. The final case in the Mishna is cited as proof for this position but is ultimately rejected. What distinguishes issur kollel from issur mosif? Issur kollel occurs when a second prohibition encompasses additional prohibited items, while issur mosif occurs when a second prohibition adds further restrictions to the same item or extends the prohibition to additional people. Based on this distinction, Rava explains why someone who accepts that issur mosif applies would not necessarily accept the same for issur kollel. Since issur mosif relates to a single item—adding a prohibition to the item itself or prohibiting the item to more people, it can apply. However, when additional items are included in the prohibition, it will not necessarily apply to what was already forbidden. Rava further explains that just as issur kollel takes effect, the same principle applies to an oath that includes other items. He needed to specify this because one might have assumed it only applies to prohibitions that arise independently, not to oaths where a person creates the prohibition. Rava the son of Raba raises a challenge to Rava's statement based on a Mishna in Kreitut, which suggests that an oath adding additional prohibitions would not apply to what was already forbidden. Six different explanations are offered to resolve this contradiction.

Welcome to our daily Bitachon series. We continue with lessons from the Haggadah shel Pesach , even though we are in middle of Sefirat HaOmer- because as we said, we are going from Pesach until Shavuot . Shavuot is when we start our bikurim with our basket in our hands. We're coming to be full of hakarat hatov and thanks to Hashem. Today's pasuk starts with the wordsוירעו אותנ / Vayareu Otanu haMitzrim / The Egyptians did bad and evil to us. The obvious question is, We're coming to say thank you, so why is this part of the thank you? Why does the fact that the Egyptians started enslaving us deserve a thank you? This is a very important point in our hakarat hatov - We don't just thank Hashem for saving us. If that were the case, says the Bet HaLevi in Shemot 15:1, then who needs the salvation? Without the problem, I don't need the salvation. I'm back to status quo, which was that I didn't need the problem. It's like walking into a dentist and he says, "Ooh, you have a cavity-I'll fill it. You walk out of the dentist's office, back where you started from- with the regular tooth.Therefore, says the Bet HaLevi , when the Jewish people said Shira , hashirah ne'emra gam al hashibud hakadum / This song was also for the subjugation that happened beforehand, kemo hageulah, just like it was for the redemption . W ithout the subjugation, there would not have been a place for the geulah , and the geulah brought them something. That's what David HaMelech says in Tehillim Otcha ki anitani. I thank You that You pained me (some interpret that You answered me ) The Bet HaLevi says, initani is lashon inui . " I thank You that You pained me, vatehi li lishuah , and You saved me." It's like giving a thank You for the pain beforehand , because through that came the yeshua and a kiddush Shem Shamayim . But there's a slightly different explanation, which is not just that the the difficulty enabled God to save me and therefore, a kiddush Hashem came, There's another aspect- that we actually appreciate the suffering because we know that we benefited and gained from the suffering. There was a purpose to the fact that the Egyptians subjugated us. There's a story told, whether it's true or not is not important, the lesson is a powerful one:In the days of old, there was a feudal system where there were the basic landowners called feudal lords , and everyone under them was a required to pay a tax. The Jews could not own land, so they were always under these feudal lords , called a poretz in Yiddish. If you were lucky, you got a nice poretz , and if you were unlucky, you had a vicious one. One Jew had a nice friendly poretz whom he paid his rent to. The poretz once left to go overseas and had his friend take over. This friend was very ruthless. If the Jew was ever late or didn't pay the exact amount, he would whip him. Over the course of time, he got what about 40 whippings. After some time passed the original feudal lord came back. The Jew reunited with this friendly feudal lord, shared his experience and showed him his back with all the whip marks. " I can't believe it." He exclaimed. "That's what he did to you!?I'm going to take care of it." And since he was the ultimate boss of the town, he made this substitute feudal lord pay a certain amount ( let's say a silver talent) for every time he whipped him. The Jew came home with 40 silver talents and showed his wife. She said "Unbelievable, look what we have. Look at look what you got!" But the man was not happy. " I wish he would have hit me 60 times !" He said. Of course, that's a joke, true or not. The point is, in retrospect, he realized that every whipping gave him something. He appreciated the whippings and he actually was very happy for those 40 whips. So he didn't just say thank you that he got out of the problem. He actually appreciated the problem because that brought him whatever benefits he got out of it. There's another story, which is reportedly true. It's brought down in sefarim that it happened with the Chida. A man was having a lot of difficulties, a lot of tzarot , a lot of problems, so he traveled to the Chida to get a bracha . As he was sitting outside the Chida's office waiting after a long trip, he fell asleep. In his dream, he saw that they were judging him in Bet Din shel Maalah /the heavenly court. There was a huge scale. They were bringing all of his mitzvot on one side, and they put all the Averot on the other side. In his case, the Averot /sins outweighed the mitzvot . It looked like he was in trouble. He asked them to look around for some more Mitzvot, but that was it. They were all emptied out. It didn't look good, but then one of his defending angels said, "What about the yissurim/suffering ?" They said, " You're right. We forgot about the yissurim. Let's throw the yissurim on." All his suffering was then thrown onto the positive side. And slowly it tilted, until it was just about equal. They were running out of yissurim . The scale was exactly equal. The man didn't know what to do. In his dream, he screamed, " More yissurim, more suffering, more suffering!" He woke up from his dream and was back to reality. He realized, " Why am I coming here? To complain about my suffering? This suffering is exactly what I need." That's our message here. Easier said than done. In the story of Yetziat Mitzrayim , this is a lesson for us in retrospect, when we're all able to look back somehow, and appreciate and actually have hakarat hatov for vayareu otanu haMitzrim .

Shira Abel is a marketing and sales expert with over 25 years of experience, having built a seven-figure agency specializing in account-based marketing (ABM). She is the creator of the Perception Formula, a framework that helps people understand trust, communication, and decision-making in business and relationships. Shira's expertise spans startups, team dynamics, and behavioral economics, making her a powerful speaker and consultant. Key Quotes: "Trust isn't just about intent—it's about understanding how someone thinks." "If your business relies on manipulation, it won't last—trust builds long-term success." "The golden rule isn't enough; you need to adapt to how others think and perceive the world." Shira Abel shares the Perception Formula, a framework built on heuristics, hormones, history, and heritage, to improve trust, sales, and team dynamics. She discusses cultural communication differences, feedback, and how perception shapes success. Whether in startups, leadership, or personal growth, understanding how people think can be your greatest catalyst. https://www.linkedin.com/in/shiraabel/  5 Key Takeaways: 1. The Perception Formula: Understanding How People Think Perception is shaped by heuristics (mental shortcuts), hormones, history, and heritage. Without emotional connection, people won't remember or trust you. Aligning with someone's background improves communication and decision-making. 2. The Role of Trust in Sales, Marketing, and Teams Trust isn't about manipulation—it's about delivering real value. High-value sales rely on relationships, not tricks. Cultural differences impact trust (e.g., "ask" vs. "hint" communication styles). 3. Feedback: The Key to Growth and Learning Feedback helps you iterate and improve faster. "Nice" people avoid tough conversations; "kind" people tell the truth to help others grow. The best teams and leaders actively seek and apply feedback. 4. Hormones and Decision-Making: The Science Behind Influence Dopamine drives excitement and engagement (e.g., notifications, rewards). Cortisol (stress hormone) blocks clear thinking—positive reinforcement is key. Oxytocin and serotonin create trust and belonging in teams and customer relationships. 5. Coachability: The Differentiator Between Success and Failure Coachability is not about instant agreement—it's about long-term adaptation. The most successful people take feedback, reflect, and adjust. Leaders should observe who listens, applies feedback, and improves over time. Want to level up your thinking and leadership?

Fluent Fiction - Hebrew: The Art of Simplicity: Coffee Chaos in Tel Aviv Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/he/episode/2025-02-24-23-34-02-he Story Transcript:He: החיים מתחת למגדל הגבוה בתל אביב תמיד מלאים בכיף ורעש.En: Life beneath the tall tower in Tel Aviv is always full of fun and noise.He: בית הקפה שבקומה התחתונה הוא תחנת עצירה קבועה לכל אלו שממהרים לעבודה בבוקר חורף קריר.En: The café on the ground floor is a regular stop for all those rushing to work on a cool winter morning.He: ריח הפולים הטחונים והקצף שמתנפץ בכוסות מרגיע ומשמח.En: The scent of ground beans and the foam popping in cups is soothing and joyful.He: אליאב עומד מאחורי הדלפק, עוסק במה שהוא מוקסם ממנו – הכנת כוס הקפה המושלמת.En: Eliyav stands behind the counter, engaged in what fascinates him—the preparation of the perfect cup of coffee.He: כשהוא חושב על עבודה מופלאה, הוא מדמיין לעצמו שביעות רצון פשוטה של לקוחות מרוצים.En: When he thinks of wonderful work, he imagines the simple satisfaction of happy customers.He: לא מעבר לזה.En: Nothing more than that.He: המיקום של בית הקפה אידיאלי כדי לקבל זרם של לקוחות.En: The location of the café is ideal for receiving a stream of customers.He: במקום הזה, תמר היא הלקוחה הכי מסובכת שיש.En: In this place, Tamar is the most complicated customer there is.He: בכל בוקר היא מגיעה עם הזמנה ארוכה ומתישה של קפה – עם חלב שקדים, סירופ וניל, קרם מים מלוחים ועוד רשימה של חומרי גלם שנראים כאילו יצאו ממתכון מסובך במיוחד.En: Every morning she arrives with a long and exhausting order of coffee—with almond milk, vanilla syrup, saltwater cream, and a list of ingredients that seem to come from a particularly complicated recipe.He: שירה, חברתה של תמר, יושבת בצד ומחייכת לראות את הכאוס הקטן שתמר מייצרת.En: Shira, Tamar's friend, sits on the side and smiles to see the little chaos Tamar creates.He: היא נהנית יותר לצפות בדברים מנקודת מבט הומוריסטית.En: She enjoys watching things from a humorous perspective.He: "היום אני אקח קפה הפוך עם טחינה גולמית ומעט יותר קצף," מזמרה תמר בקולה הגבוה.En: "Today I'll take a cappuccino with raw tahini and a bit more foam," Tamar chimes in her high-pitched voice.He: אליאב מסתכל עליה בעיניים טובות, אבל בתוך תוכו הוא יודע שזה עומד להיות בוקר מבולגן.En: Eliyav looks at her with kind eyes, but deep down he knows it's going to be a messy morning.He: אבל הוא לא ייתן לזה להפיל אותו.En: But he won't let it bring him down.He: הוא לוקח את הזמן להקשיב, רושם כל פרט קטן, ומקווה לעמוד בסטנדרטים של תמר.En: He takes the time to listen, writes down every little detail, and hopes to meet Tamar's standards.He: בזמן שתמר ושירה מדברות בצד, אליאב מוצא את עצמו עסוק בלנסות לשמור על זיכרון צלול מהזמנתה.En: While Tamar and Shira talk on the side, Eliyav finds himself busy trying to keep a clear memory of her order.He: הוא עובר על הרכיבים, לוודא שלא שכח דבר – אולי טיפה פחות סירופ וניל?En: He goes over the ingredients to ensure he hasn't forgotten anything—perhaps a little less vanilla syrup?He: אולי הקצפה יותר חזקה?En: Maybe stronger foaming?He: - העולם שלה הופך ראשי מתחת לגלים של חלב וקצף.En: Her world becomes chaotic beneath waves of milk and foam.He: כשהוא מסיים סוף סוף, הוא מגיש את הכוס לתמר עם חיוך רחב.En: When he finally finishes, he hands the cup to Tamar with a wide smile.He: הקצף עלול להתפוצץ, הקרם במקום הלא נכון, ואולי בכלל חסר רכיב כלשהו – תמר מביטה בכוס ומתחילה לצחוק, וזה מדביק את כל הקהל של הבוקר.En: The foam might pop, the cream might be in the wrong place, and maybe an ingredient is missing—Tamar looks at the cup and starts to laugh, which spreads to the entire morning crowd.He: שירה מנצלת את ההזדמנות לכמה תמונות נוספות למזכרת מהבוקר המוזר הזה.En: Shira takes the opportunity for a few more memorable photos of this strange morning.He: "תודה אליאב, אבל אולי מבטיח יותר מדי," אומרת תמר כשהיא נהנית מההרפתקה.En: "Thank you, Eliyav, but maybe it promises too much," Tamar says as she enjoys the adventure.He: אליאב מחייך, נראה די מרוצה שכך שחרר מעט לחץ.En: Eliyav smiles, appearing quite satisfied to have relieved some pressure.He: בסוף, תמר מחליטה ללכת על לאטה פשוט.En: In the end, Tamar decides to go for a simple latte.He: ההחלטה הזו מוכיחה שאולי הפשטות היא המפתח.En: This decision proves that perhaps simplicity is the key.He: גם שירה מסכימה ומחמיאה לתמר על היכולת שלה לפשט.En: Shira agrees and praises Tamar for her ability to simplify.He: אליאב מרוצה כשהוא רואה את תור הלקוחות יקטן, נושם לרווחה.En: Eliyav is pleased when he sees the queue of customers shrink, breathing a sigh of relief.He: לפעמים, הפשטות יכולה להיות מרשימה לא פחות מהמופע.En: Sometimes, simplicity can be just as impressive as the performance.

“Fugler (Robert Carlyle) was a character that I really connected with from the beginning. I know it sounds a little strange that the Nazi was my way into this, but it really was that idea of, ‘How can we get inside his head and make sure that he's a fully fleshed out person that way?'” says Josh Salzberg about trying to make his villain, a Nazi named Damien Fugler, a three-dimensional character. Josh Salzberg wrote the screenplay for The Performance with co-writer/director Shira Piven. In this episode, Salzberg talks about the challenges of adapting a short story by playwright Arthur Miller that's about a Jewish-American tap dancer (Jeremy Piven), who's willing to compromise his own core values to find fame and fortune in Nazi Germany.  “The idea of all [the characters] is that they're all performing on some level. They all have another life. And that's true to show business, that we all have sides of ourselves that we're not sure we want everybody to see or that it's okay for everybody to see. And then in Berlin in the ‘30s, there's all these different communities that were impacted – not just the Jews in Germany,” he says.  Salzberg also talks about his background as a film editor, how it helped him transition to screenwriting, and the challenges of writing morally compromised characters like his protagonist, Harold.  “I think embracing the mistakes that they make, embracing those flaws and leaning into that is important. Sometimes we can care about our characters to the point where we want them to be likable, which is a note we always get, but we've got to be okay with the mistakes – and the consequences for those mistakes. And that was a lesson that Shira and I kept learning as we were developing the script,” he says.  To hear more about Salzberg's writing process, listen to the podcast. Please note: this episode contains discussions regarding racism and anti-semitism.

Shira Rosenbluth, LCSW, returns to discuss what it means to live a full life in a fat body. She catches us up on eating disorder recovery (two years after her first time on the pod), coming out as queer, how her relationship with her fiance has impacted her body image, planning a wedding as a plus-size bride, and what it's felt like to witness the constant chatter of GLP-1s while recovering from a life-long eating disorder. Last time she was on the pod, we spoke about her experience with atypical anorexia and quasi- recovery. Now, two years later, we hear about how her recovery has solidified, why restriction is no longer an option for her, and what has helped her stay firm in that place -- despite the negative thoughts and noise from diet culture.  Listen to hear more about:  What's on Shira's plate How her recovery has been going since the last time she was on the pod Why lab values are not always a good indicator of how sick you are Realizing that restrictive behaviors no longer serve her How her relationship with her fiance has changed her view on restriction  Why creating a life outside of eating disorder behaviors is just as important as stopping the behaviors themselves Why being nourished enables room for reliance in other aspects of life Her experience coming out as queer and living authentically herself  That people in all sized bodies find love, and thinness is not a prerequisite for finding a loving relationship  How recovery is full of ups and downs and is not always blissful  Planning for a wedding in a larger body Making sure you utilize resources to support you navigating recovery  The impact of Ozempic on eating disorder recovery So much more!   Shira Rosenbluth, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker treating clients in New York and California.

Shira Billet shares her story of losing a twin pregnancy in 2015. Since this loss, Shira has become a resource for women and families going through the same thing. She explains how she found that “if I could do something that would make the world better, or help other people… that felt like some kind of alternative version of being a mother.” Billet talks about her process of working through grief and common grief experiences after losing a pregnancy. She and Dr. Fox touch on difficult topics like anxiety in subsequent pregnancies, stillbirth, and more.
