Hello and welcome to this episode of Converations from the A&F podcast. In this episode I speak to foster carer and Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz. He's passionate about protecting vulnerable children which is what led him to start  YATOM: The Jewish Foster and Adoption Network. He is a father to 4 children and has fostered 8 children over the past few years with his wife, Shoshana.  They work to motivate and support the Jewish community in the journey of adopting & fostering children and to advocate for the needs of orphans, children needing temporary homes, and adoptive families.  It is a fantastic discussion and we're sure you'll find it interesting.  As always if you've experience of adoption, fostering or special guardianship from any perspective personal or professional and would like share that on the podcast please get in touch through the Facebook page, BlueSky or email us at AandFpodcast@gmail.com Listen/subscribe on iTunes here Spotify here

[Read more...] The post Seekers of Meaning 9/6/2024: Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz Discusses His New Book of 45 Great Philosophers appeared first on Jewish Sacred Aging.

Abigail Pogrebin is joined by Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz to discuss "45 Great Philosophers and What They Mean for Judaism," his book which explores forty-five of the most influential philosophers throughout history and how Jewish ideas might engage with each of the philosophers and their philosophical projects.

In this episode, we are honored to welcome Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz, a beacon of compassion, justice, and spiritual wisdom.   Rabbi Shmuly is a spiritual leader and passionate advocate for animal rights and veganism. As the Founder & President of Shamayim: Jewish Animal Advocacy, he promotes ethical treatment for all beings and a plant-based lifestyle. He also founded Uri L'Tzedek, dedicated to social justice and ethical leadership, and YATOM, a foster and adoption network for children.   Author of 24 books, Rabbi Shmuly's writings have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Guardian. Newsweek has recognized him twice as one of America's Top Rabbis.   Rabbi Shmuly's extraordinary personal commitment to compassion extends beyond his advocacy. He has donated a kidney to a stranger and, along with his wife Shoshanna, opens their home to foster children, embodying the values he teaches.   Stay tuned as we delve into an inspiring conversation with Rabbi Shmuly, exploring the profound connections between spirituality, ethics, and animal rights. You don't want to miss his insights on how to lead a life of greater purpose and impact.   “Some people think, ‘Oh, I made it. I'm vegan. I'm done. I don't have to grow anymore.' Nope. I think that's the floor. That's the beginning of what it means to then start to morally and spiritually grow on the next level. Okay, so I'm sensitive in this way. How about all these other ways that I can be more sensitive, thoughtful, and intentional in my life? And so I view that as one area that has enabled me to go deeper in supporting other people because behavioral change is so difficult and so frustrating for people who are trying to lose weight, or people who are trying to grow in their exercise, or trying to change, you know, the way they talk to people, or how they spend their free time. And it's so hard to change even when we're so committed. And I view my vegan journey as, you know, providing some insight into how we can make baby steps towards growth.” -Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz   What we discuss in this episode:  - Rabbi Shmuly's journey to veganism and the inspiration behind his advocacy. - The impact of veganism on his role as a Rabbi. - Jewish religious texts and their connection to veganism. - Understanding kosher: its true meaning, history, and its relation to veganism. - The concept of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) and its application in Rabbi Shmuly's work. - The dangers of self-absorption. - Theology on human responsibility. - The importance of living with gratitude.   Resources: - Website: Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz - https://www.rabbishmuly.com/ - Books by Rabbi Shmuly: Books - Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz - https://www.rabbishmuly.com/books.html - Shamayim: Jewish Animal Advocacy - https://shamayim.us/ - The Jewish Foster and Adoption Network: YATOM - https://www.yatom.org/ - Orthodox Social Justice: Uri L'Tzedek - https://utzedek.org/#navigation - Instagram: Shmuly Yanklowitz (@rabbi_shmuly) • Instagram photos and videos - https://www.instagram.com/rabbi_shmuly/ - Facebook: Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz - https://www.facebook.com/RabbiShmulyYanklowitz/   ★☆★ Help us remove dairy from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans! ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/dietary-guidelines-for-americans-2025/ ★☆★ Click the link below to support the ADD SOY Act! ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/add-soy-act/ ★☆★ Share the website and get your resources here ★☆★ https://kidsandmilk.org/ ★☆★ Send us a voice message and ask a question.

Television director, filmmaker and author Adam Nimoy, the son of actor Leonard Nimoy, knows what it means to grow up in the chilling shadow of a famous father. He also knows what it means to tell a helluva story, and he does so in the pages of his new memoir The Most Human: Reconciling with My Father, Leonard Nimoy. The book explores the author's complicated relationship with his father and reflects on how it informed his views on marriage, parenting, addiction and recovery. A graduate of Loyola Law School, Adam Nimoy started his career working in entertainment law, before becoming a filmmaker, ultimately directing dozens of network television shows—some of them, he allows with self-deprecating good cheer, “sublime”, and some of them “eminently unwatchable.” He also directed the documentary “For the Love of Spock,” which was originally conceived as a collaborative venture with his father shortly before the actor's death in 2015. Adam also taught writing, directing and acting at the New York Film Academy, and filmmaking at Beit T'Shuvah, an addiction treatment center.   “Whether you're a Leonard Nimoy fan, a Trekkie, or from another planet,” writes noted rabbi and social justice advocate Shmuly Yanklowitz, “you are sure to find this vulnerable, brave, humorous, and intimate story about Spock, the outer limits, a father-son relationship, and teshuvah (recovery and repair) deeply moving.”   Learn more about Adam Nimoy: Website Instagram Twitter Please support the sponsors who support our show: Ritani Jewelers Chelsea Devantez's I Shouldn't Be Telling You This Daniel Paisner's Balloon Dog  Daniel Paisner's SHOW: The Making and Unmaking of a Network Television Pilot Unforgiving: Lessons from the Fall by Lindsey Jacobellis Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Libro.fm (ASTOLDTO) | 2 audiobooks for the price of 1 when you start your membership Film Freaks Forever! podcast, hosted by Mark Jordan Legan and Phoef Sutton Everyday Shakespeare podcast A Mighty Blaze podcast The Writer's Bone Podcast Network Misfits Market (WRITERSBONE) | $15 off your first order  Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Wizard Pins (WRITERSBONE) | 20% discount
