Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political correspondent Tal Schneider and environmental reporter Sue Surkes join host Jessica Steinberg on today's episode. Schneider discusses the ongoing discussion in Israel's defense establishment of changing Israel’s long-range attack systems from the country's use of air power, as seen in retaliatory Israeli strikes against Iran in October and against Yemen this month. She also reviews the lifting of the gag order on the name of reservist Ari Rosenfeld, the IDF officer charged with transferring classified information in the Prime Minister's Office. Rosenfeld is under arrest, and his lawyer and wife wanted his name publicized to put pressure on the legal establishment. Surkes examines the net-zero factory created by the founder of the Shoresh sandal empire in northern Israel and his aim to convince other industrialists and Israelis to do the same. She also talks about the reopening of the Hula nature reserve in Israel's north, closed for 14 months during the Hezbollah rocket attacks from Lebanon and how that affected the birds that migrate in the spring and fall to the area.

Michael Beener har på nytt besøkt Norge. I den forbindelse gjestet han vårt studio for en innspilling av et nytt program her på Israelkanalen. Vi snakker om hva som har skjedd siden februar, da hele menigheten hadde søkt tilflukt i Shoresh, et lite samfunn som ligger i Judea-åsene på vei opp til Jerusalem. Nå har de flyttet tilbake til Sderot, men mange sliter med traumer etter terroren som rammet Israel den 7. oktober i fjor. Men forsamlingen City of Life hjelper fortsatt innbyggerne i Sderot med omegn. Her kommer de med fysisk hjelp og ikke minst, oppmuntring til mange av de som lider. Programmet er tekstet til norsk.

Edited highlights of our full length conversation. What is your pain for?  Taban Shoresh is the Founder of The Lotus Flower, a UK-based charity that supports women and girls that have been displaced by conflict, and helps them to build sustainable futures. Since 2016, the charity's projects have impacted more than 60,000 women, girls, and community members.  Every now and then, you meet someone whose story stops you in your tracks. Taban's story starts with her being arrested in Iraq at the age of four. Three weeks later, she's ordered onto a bus that will take her to the place where she and other members of her family will be buried alive. At the end of 2021, before Russia invaded the Ukraine or the war in Gaza, the number of forcibly displaced people worldwide stood at 89.3 million. There were 27.1 million refugees globally, half of whom were aged under 18, which makes Taban's story one of millions and completely unique.  She has experienced staggering trauma, she has known realities that I'm sure I would not have survived, and she has taken all of that pain and turned it into creative leadership of the most consequential kind. As you'll hear, for reasons both global and personal, she's in a hurry.  All of us have suffered pain. What we use it for is a question that will stay with me for a long time after this conversation.

Rabbi Kalish

Until 1948, around 800,000 Jews lived as an organic and inseparable part of the Arab Middle East and North Africa. But political shifts in the mid-20th century upended this reality. The violent creation of the State of Israel, and the rise of an increasingly exclusivist Arab nationalism, fueled anti-Jewish hostility that led to the exodus of all but a few thousand Jews from the region. The rich Arab-Jewish life that had characterized prior centuries was lost, and the vast majority of Arab Jews ended up in Israel, becoming active participants in the country's regime of domination over Palestinians. But neither Mizrahi Jews' enthusiastic embrace of Zionism nor the collapse of Jewish life in the broader Middle East were historical inevitabilities—and these processes did not go unchallenged. Instead, Arab-Jewish thinkers throughout the 20th century drew on their own experiences to offer alternatives to Zionism as well as other kinds of ethnonationalism.In June, Jewish Currents fellow Jonathan Shamir attended a first-of-its-kind retreat for Arab Jews organized by activist Hadar Cohen and historian Avi Shlaim, where contemporary thinkers came together to figure out how to build on these past efforts. In the latest episode of On the Nose, Shamir speaks with three scholars from the retreat—Hana Morgenstern, who studies Middle Eastern literature; Yaël Mizrahi-Arnaud, a co-founder of the diaspora anti-Zionist group Shoresh; and Moshe Behar, a senior lecturer in Israel/Palestine studies and co-founder of the Mizrahi Civic Collective—about the history of Arab-Jewish political thought and organizing, and its possibilities and limits for our time.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Texts Mentioned and Further Reading and Listening:On the Arab-Jew, Palestine, and Other Displacements: Selected Writings by Ella ShohatThe Arab Jews: A Postcolonial Reading of Nationalism, Religion, and Ethnicity by Yehouda ShenhavModern Middle Eastern Jewish Thought: Writings on Identity, Politics, & Culture, 1893-1958, edited by Moshe Behar and Zvi Ben-Dor BeniteThree Worlds: Memoirs of an Arab-Jew by Avi ShlaimIraqi Jewish Writers (Banipal Magazine of Modern Arab Literature), Shimon Ballas, Sami Michael, Samir Naqqash, et al.

Hillel realized that, if we stayed strictly lunar,things would soon get out of kilter, and he put in a system to fix that withthe leap year.” We are allfamiliar with a leap year This year wehad a February 29th – Every four years we have a leap year with theexception of the Century year Priorto that time, the Torah told us to DECLARE the New Moon by the Testimony of twowitnesses. In other words, Man declares the New Moon and the moon and sunadjust their relationship to comply with the consciousness of man. IN OTHERWORDS this Mitzvah to declare the New Moon is a manifestation of Mind OverMatter and it is important in the individuals spiritual growth to achieve thislevel of consciousness. 1) Thestate of the barley crop at the end of the 12th month; 3)the equinox. Whyis the word in Hebrew that means leap year using the Shoresh that meansPregnant. Pregnancy is a state of development manifesting potential. What doesthis mean? When a child is born he is beginning the manifestation of all of thelight that he will reveal in his life. At the moment of birth he is starting toreveal his potential. Will he achieve all that he can be? No one knows at thatmoment but his potential is beginning its manifestation. Therefore, thepregnancy is actually the manifestation of what that child can achieve inpotential. We'llcome back to unity relating to 13, but if I forget remind me.

Now somemight suggest that due to his blind hatred, he didn't realize that this was infact, a trap and dangerous as this month had negative ramifications for hisancestor piece of, and also for his ancestor Who fought in the war. But I wouldlike to suggest that he believed otherwise. Thereis a well-known Gemara: When Haman cast lots (purim) in order to decide whichmonth to destroy the Jewish people, it landed on the month of Adar, the monthwhere Moshe Rabbeinu left the world, and therefore he grew very happy, takingthis is a sign that it will be a month of bad mazal for the Jewish people.[2] TheGemara elsewhere says that “Just as big fish swallow the smaller fish, so wouldpeople swallow each other, if not for fear of the government”. Amalek did notfear Hashem when they attacked the Jewish people in the desert. They weremissing fear of a higher authority, so they did not care to swallow others.Haman, who descended from Amalek - the nation that does not fear Hashem – wasready to ‘swallow' the Jewish people, for his lot landed on the month of Adar,the mazal of fish, which can get swallowed alive. Thus, we can now betterunderstand why Haman rejoiced when the lot that he cast fell on the month Adar. Thus,the depth of why Haman rejoiced was not simply because it was the month whereMoshe expired (as is well-known, Moshe expired on the 7th of Adar, and thenumber 7 in Hebrew is ז, which is equal in gematria to the word דגfish).Rather, it is because the spiritual power of Moshe is compared to the sun'slight, which does not reach the fish.

Rabbi Feiner shiurim

The Torah in Parashat Ki-Teseh (Debarim 23:7) commands with regard to the nations of Amon and Moab, “Lo Tidrosh Shelomam Ve'tobotam, Kol Yamecha Ad Olam” – that we may not “seek their peace and wellbeing.” This verse establishes a prohibition against offering these nations peace before going out to war against them. Normally, before Beneh Yisrael go out to war, they are required by Torah law to first offer a peaceful arrangement in order to avoid military conflict. When it comes to Amon and Moab, however, the Torah actually forbids offering peace before initiating conflict. The Torah issues this command after introducing the prohibition against allowing men from these nations to join Beneh Yisrael in marriage. These nations, which descended from Lot, Abraham Abinu's nephew, owed a debt of gratitude to Beneh Yisrael, and yet, they failed to offer assistance by bringing provisions when Beneh Yisrael traveled in the desert near their territory. On account of this lack of gratitude, which the Sefer Ha'hinuch describes as a form of “Achzariyut” (cruelty), the Torah bars the men of Amon and Moab from marrying into our nation, and forbids offering them peace before going to war against them. This command is binding upon the men – because only men go out to war – and applies only when Beneh Yisrael reside in their land and fight wars. As a practical matter, this command became inapplicable once the Assyrian emperor Sanherib captured much of Eretz Yisrael and the surrounding regions, and exiled entire populations. After the Assyrian conquest, we can no longer identify the people of Amon and Moab, as the nations' populations were all moved around throughout the region. Therefore, we cannot fulfill the special Misvot regarding these two nations. The Rishonim address the question of why the Torah needed to issue this prohibition, given G-d's command to Beneh Yisrael not to initiate hostilities against the nations of Amon and Moab (Debarim 2:9,19). If we are not permitted to wage war against these nations, then how can we commanded not to offer peace before waging battle? The Rambam (Sefer Ha'misvot, Shoresh 3) explains that the command not to initiate hostilities against Amon and Moab applied only during the period of Beneh Yisrael's travels through the wilderness. After Beneh Yisrael entered the Land of Israel, however, they were no longer forbidden from waging war against Amon or Moab. The Ramban disagrees, and maintains that the command forbidding waging war against Amon and Moab applied even after Beneh Yisrael entered the land. According to the Ramban, the distinction lies between the original territory of Amon and Moab, and territories which they conquered and annexed. In these nations' original territory, Beneh Yisrael are not permitted to wage war, as G-d gave these lands to the people of Amon and Moab. If, however, Amon and Moab expand their territory, then Beneh Yisrael are permitted to initiate hostilities in the annexed lands, and when they do, they are not permitted to first offer peace.

At the age of four, Taban Shoresh and her family found themselves imprisoned, facing a harrowing ordeal at the hands of Saddam Hussein's soldiers. Today, Taban stands as the driving force behind The Lotus Flower, a charitable organisation she founded. The mission of this organisation is to empower women, girls, children, and other community members affected by conflict and displacement, equipping them with the tools and opportunities needed to rebuild their shattered lives. Remarkably, The Lotus Flower has already made a profound impact, touching the lives of over 60,000 individuals, offering hope and support through its centres in Kurdistan. Beyond her work with The Lotus Flower, Taban is also the visionary behind Therapy Beyond Borders, a non-profit entity dedicated to partnering with communities worldwide that have expressed a pressing need for therapy programs. Through this initiative, she strives to extend her compassionate reach and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those grappling with the enduring scars of trauma.

This week's But Why bitesize is extraordinary and a little different. In normal circumstances, these mini episodes involve a very complicated edit, but not this week. In this episode Clemmie is looking at war with child genocide survivor Taban Shoresh, who founded Lotus Flower, a non-profit that supports female conflict survivors and refugees in Kurdistan, Iraq. And this shortened episode is simply her first answer. You can find the full episode wherever you get your podcasts. With a political activist father during Saddam Hussein's regime, Taban was imprisoned with her family aged just four, and they narrowly escaped being buried alive.  After a year dodging bombs and bullets, they were finally flown to the UK by Amnesty to start a new life.  In 2016 decided to give up her successful City of London career and establish Lotus Flower. It now supports women and girls who lost everything at the hands of ISIS, including their homes and loved ones, and who also suffered barbaric crimes such as slavery, rape and torture.

Your Perspective Matters - @Camp Shoresh in Growth by Rabbi Daniel Kalish

Rabbi Kalish

Siyum on Bava Kama in Mechinas Ner Yisroel

The Vancouver Jewish Community Garden had its official ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 28, just after the Shavuot harvest festival: a fitting debut for the $200,000 initiative. Organizers hope the tubs of lettuce and apple trees will shortly become a hub for teaching about the environment, feeding the needy and hosting Jewish events. Located on the rooftop of a two-storey parking structure between Congregation Beth Israel and Vancouver Talmud Torah School, the garden is a collaboration between both communities and the clients of Jewish Family Services. And while you can find Jewish community gardens across the country, including Toronto's Shoresh farms and the heart garden at Winnipeg's Temple Shalom, the Vancouver initiative may be the only Jewish farm purposely built so close to heaven. On The CJN Daily, we're joined by the organizers: Congregation Beth Israel's Rabbi Jonathan Infeld; Emily Greenberg, head of school at VTT; and Tanja Demajo, executive director of Jewish Family Services in Vancouver.

The Shoresh of the Churban (17th of Tammuz 5782)

Taban Shoresh is founder of the Lotus Flower, the non-profit empowering vulnerable women and girls affected by conflict and humanitarian crises, and an ambassador for the Global Youth Movement, One Young World.  Taban's remarkable story started in Kurdistan, where her family were amongst the many persecuted by Saddam Hussein's regime in the Kurdish genocide. Her horrific ordeal saw Taban imprisoned at the age of just four and later, narrowly escaping a mass live burial. Coming to the UK as a refugee in 1988, Taban built her life here, later moving into asset management. But in 2014, amidst the persecution of the Yazidis by Islamic State, she turned her attention to humanitarian aid and peace-building, supporting survivors of genocide, and women and girls displaced by conflict.

This afternoon (3/3/22), in our slightly-longer-than-usual Rambam Bekius chavurah, we concluded our side-topic investigation of the Rambam's shitah on the status of halachos derived from the hermeneutical principles. Led by Halbertal, we read through the Ramban's objections (which we were originally going to do inside, but skipped due to lack of time) and then read Halbertal's take on the Rambam's approach. Suffice it to say, it gave us what to think about! In truth, one could only do this sugya justice by going through the many cases in Shas that would seem to undermine the Rambam's approach. But since this is Rambam Bekius, we felt that this was a sufficient level of depth. Next week we'll return to Hilchos Talmud Torah Chapter 6 (בג"ה). מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר שופטים, הלכות ממרים א:גMoshe Halbertal, "Maimonides: Life and Thought" This week's Torah content has been sponsored by Sarah, in memory of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks zt"l, who changed many lives with his Torah and sterling middot.Bekius Disclaimer:Note that this is a bekius chavurah - as opposed to an iyun shiur.

This afternoon (3/2/22), in our Rambam Bekius chavurah, we continued our side-topic, taking up the question: What is the nature of the halachos and limudim that are derived through the middos she'ha'Torah nidreshes ba'hen? We familiarized ourselves with the Rambam's shitah inside. Tomorrow (בג"ה) the plan is to let Halbertal guide us through his analysis of the Rambam and the contrary position voiced by the Ramban. ----------מקורות:רמב"ם - ספר המצוות, שורש ברמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר שופטים, הלכות ממרים א:גרמב"ם - הקדמה למשנה Moshe Halbertal, "Maimonides: Life and Thought" ----------This week's Torah content has been sponsored by Sarah, in memory of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks zt"l, who changed many lives with his Torah and sterling middot.----------Bekius Disclaimer:Note that this is a bekius chavurah - as opposed to an iyun shiur.

My guest today is the incredible Taban Shoresh, a former child genocide survivor who suffered imprisonment as a four-year-old with her family, during the Saddam Hussein regime.  Over time Taban adjusted to life here, but the trauma of her experiences never fully left her. She married at a young age and settled into her university studies and subsequent career. Little by little. She came to realize that the relationship she was in was highly abusive and she feared for her life once more. Somehow, however, she finds the courage to escape. By 2014, she set up the Lotus Flower, a not-for-profit for women and girls impacted by conflict and displacement. Since its launch, it has supported ISIS survivors in three camp based centres. And to date has helped over 40,000 women and girls.   Points of discussion: Introduction (00:00) Going back to Taban's childhood (02:43) Coming to the United Kingdom (08:51) Embracing both Kurdish and British culture during teen days (10:30) Leaving abusive marriage (15:08) Epiphany moment (24:09) The genesis of Lotus Flower organization (32:27) How does Taban manage her foundation and life (38:46) Taban's advice on how to go through hardship (40:01)Closing words by Dee (41:58)   If you have a question or feedback on the series send me a message at Instagram (@deedoubleespresso) or email me at doublespressowithdee@gmail.com
