Often called one of the fathers of minimalist music, Reich created a vocabulary that has influenced nearly every form of music: Classical, electronic, jazz, and pop. To commemorate his 90th birthday, there are worldwide performances and festivals in his honor, including an upcoming concert at Carnegie Hall. Reich spoke with Terry Gross in 1989 and 1999. We'll listen back to his compositions, and hear about the sounds that have influenced him – from the rhythms of speech, to African drumming, Jewish cantorial singing and the sound of trains. Also, Justin Chang reviews the documentary NAZA. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh on on several prominent Democrats injecting themselves into the "Cornell 7" case, Maine Senate hopeful Troy Jackson being frustrated that Jewish voters don't believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, the Trump administration going atter "ghost student" fraud and saving taxpayers a lot of money, and the final installment of the vicious Bears-Jets attack ads ahead of Sunday's game.First, they're concerned several prominent Democrats are trying to inject themselves into the discussion of the morally bankrupt and possibly criminal "Cornell 7" case. AOC incorrectly ranted about it, Abdul El-Sayed chimed in too. And New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is putting Attorney General Tish James in charge of the investigation. Is this case about to be deeply politicized?Next, they shake their heads as Troy Jackson does damage control after being annoyed that Jewish voters reject his description of Gaza as genocide because that word make them think of the Holocaust. Jackson apologized, but what does this episode tell us about the left's mindset on this issue?Then, they applaud the Trump administration for cracking down on students who don't exist but are receiving federal assistance by pretending to be legitimate applicants. At least $200 million in taxpayer dollars has been saved this year alone.Finally, today is the final installment of the outside interest groups' attack ads against the Bears and Jets.

In this episode, Lex Rofeberg and Miriam Terlinchamp introduce Everyday Mystics, a new podcast launching on this feed on October 7th, which tells the real stories of people who have had that turning. Small, ordinary moments that cracked open into something larger. Their stories of transformation weave Jewish wisdom bringing forward an old/ new way of understanding mystical experience and the everyday. These are stories of when the ordinary becomes sacred, the familiar becomes mysterious, and Judaism becomes beautifully unbound.Miriam and Lex unpack what it means to be an “everyday mystic,” arguing that mystical experience doesn't have to be extraordinary, it can emerge in a blood donation, a walk through a cemetery, or any moment when the boundary between the ordinary and something larger suddenly feels thinner. They share their own stories of finding Jewish meaning in unexpected experiences, illustrating how ancient wisdom can give language and practice to something we may already intuitively feel. Ultimately, Everyday Mystics invites listeners to recognize their own “burning bush” moments and discover how sharing those stories can become a source of Jewish wisdom for others.Head to JudaismUnbound.com/classes to check out our up upcoming courses in the UnYeshiva!

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Lazar Focus. Each Friday, join host diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. It was a stormy week politically in Ireland. It wasn't over an attempted terrorist attack like we had here in Israel this week. It wasn't over the rising cost of energy or immigration, like elsewhere in Europe. It was a soccer match against Israel. That was enough to dominate the country's headlines. How did Ireland become so focused on Israel, and so hostile to the Jewish state? Alan Shatter, a leading Jewish figure in the country and former justice and defense minister, says a pro-Palestine 'cult' has taken over the country's politics. The country has always had a checkered past with its Jews, he said. The Provisional IRA had deep ties with Palestinian terrorists, and their political movement Sinn Fein 'contaminated' Irish politics by putting the Palestinian cause front and center. That obsessive focus has spread from politics across Irish society, Shatter lamented, and now trade unions, teachers, artists, and athletes have significant pro-Palestinian movements. The angst over the soccer match against Israel a new "level of complete and utter absurdity," he said. Now, he said, many Jews are asking whether they have a future in the country in the face of daily abuse online and a toxic environment around Israel. "There's a deep problem here," Shatter said. "It's one the government refuses to recognize. It's one the government is contributing to." Lazar Focus is available on all podcast platforms.

Welcome to "A Mandatory Listen," a new weekly podcast in which The Times of Israel deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan asks the big questions facing Israel and the Jewish people. For this second episode in the new series, who better to ask the big questions than a philosopher? We turn to author and public intellectual Micah Goodman for an in-depth conversation on the one burning issue that unites America's radical right and left. Spoiler: They hate Israel. But the reasons why the far left and the far right despise the Jewish state come from very different narratives, explains Goodman. Likewise, their "final solutions" for Israel would result in divergent conclusions. In the second half of the program, we turn the tables and ask: Are Israelis aware that the fate of the Jewish state is an election issue in the US? Why is this fissure in the essential US-Israel relationship trumpeted as a main existential issue on Israeli politicians' campaign trails? Israelis, says Goodman, need to wake up. But will they?

This week, Mayor Zohran Mamdani released a 33-page plan to combat antisemitism, including increasing funding for synagogue security, public awareness campaigns, and museum trips. But the plan drew criticism from some Jewish groups that wanted a concrete definition of antisemitism to be included in the blueprint, which also largely omitted issues surrounding Israel-related protests. Also, a Staten Island judge ruled this week that New York City must redo the rollout of its second-home, or pied-à-terre, tax. City Hall says it will appeal while maintaining the existing timeline: exemption applications are due Oct. 6, bills arrive in November, and payments are due in January. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Kelly Mena discuss a rocky week for the mayor. After that, the "Off Topic" team previews three highly anticipated debates for statewide office that Spectrum News will host this month. Each hour-long debate will be co-moderated by political anchors Errol Louis and Susan Arbetter. On Oct. 1, Democratic state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli faces Republican challenger Joseph Hernandez. On Oct. 8, state Attorney General Letitia James takes on Republican challenger Saritha Komatireddy. The main event comes Oct. 13, when Gov. Kathy Hochul faces Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman.

In Day 197, the final lesson of Orchot Tzaddikim, The Ways of the Righteous, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe brings the entire journey to its culmination. The author returns to the idea that the human being is an Olam Katan—a miniature world. The wonders of creation, both physical and spiritual, are reflected within the human being, and the soul itself reflects, in an infinitely limited way, attributes that point us toward the Creator. Just as the soul fills the body, sustains it, outlives it, sees without being seen, remains pure, and does not sleep, so Hashem fills, sustains, transcends, sees, and governs His universe.This realization should lead not to pride, but to humility, awe, gratitude, and responsibility. Rabbi Wolbe urges us to contemplate the extraordinary design of the human body—from our eyes and ears to our breath, bones, skin, and countless systems—and ask: Who gave me all of this? The more deeply we appreciate how much Hashem has invested in us, the more we understand that our lives carry purpose and obligation. Yirat Shamayim is not despair or fearfulness; it is the awareness that we have been entrusted with something extraordinarily precious.The entire book ultimately comes down to the words of Kohelet: “Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole of man.” After studying humility, arrogance, love, hatred, mercy, cruelty, happiness, jealousy, worry, repentance, Torah, and countless other middot, the final challenge is internal. It is no longer simply about how we appear to others, but about the private relationship between the individual and Hashem: Do I truly fear God? Is my relationship with Hashem where it should be? Inspiration must become action. Torah must change us.The conclusion takes on additional meaning as Rabbi Wolbe notes that the class coincides with his Hebrew birthday. He offers a heartfelt blessing to the TORCH community for health, happiness, gratitude, spiritual growth, and a genuine relationship with Hashem. He encourages each listener to view every new year of life as another opportunity to recommit to service, growth, and appreciation for the gift of another day.And, fittingly, the journey does not truly end. Rabbi Wolbe immediately opens Shaar HaBitachon, the Gate of Trust in God, from Chovot HaLevavot. The message is clear: when Torah learning concludes, we begin again. Bitachon means learning to release our illusion of control and place our reliance entirely in Hashem—like a child resting securely in the arms of a loving parent. The completion of Orchot Tzaddikim therefore becomes the beginning of the next spiritual journey._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 23, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on October 2, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm so honored to have back on the show once again: Cult and cult abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, Vice President of the non-profit Tucson Pops Orchestra, freelance social media photographer, future cosmetology school graduate, Penn State University alum, former Digital Content Creator for KGUN 9, artist, creative, and an incredible hero who has stepped up to break the silence on cult abuse and to educate on how victims can take steps to get out: Caleb Fernandez A little bit about Caleb if you're new here, if you missed his first two episodes, or if you just need a little refresher:Caleb was born into a world already woven with invisible chains. Raised in Southern California amid the sprawling influence of Calvary Chapel, he entered life entangled in what he describes as multi-generational cult dynamics. Church leaders were not distant figures but active presences in his earliest years. As a small child he endured ritualized and psychosexual cult abuse, the machinery of mind control, and experiences he later recognized as labor trafficking disguised as mission trips and service. He speaks of unclean spirits operating within Calvary Chapel and carries the unshakable conviction that the organization functions as a cult whose patterns of control, isolation, financial pressure, gossip framed as prayer chains, and suppression of questions must be named so that others can break free.Even then, something inside Caleb refused to go dark. From his earliest school years, Caleb poured himself into musical theater. On stage he discovered a language louder than fear - performance, music, and collective creation that let him breathe when his environment felt suffocating. That same creative current carried him through high school questions that made adults uncomfortable, through college at Penn State University where he earned a bachelor's degree in advertising and public relations while secretly studying Jewish history and ancient civilizations to understand the faith he had been handed, and onward to New York City. There he mastered production assistance, photography, and art direction. He worked as a digital content creator for KGUN9, modeled, and honed skills in still and moving images, retouching, scripting, editing, event planning, and brand representation. He also lived with epilepsy and later learned he is autistic - realities that had been met in childhood with prayer instead of professional care.The journey toward freedom began in his early twenties and reached its culmination in 2025 when, at 33, he finally escaped the cult. Every step has been an act of radical courage. He is now vice president of the nonprofit Tucson Pops Orchestra, where music becomes medicine and community becomes sanctuary. He continues as a freelance social media photographer and strategic digital creative. Cosmetology school waits on the horizon, another chapter in a life that keeps expanding.Caleb is more than a survivor. He is a living symphony of resilience - a man who gathered the shattered notes of his past and composed a future of purpose, artistry, and fierce advocacy. As a first-time whistleblower he has given voice to the silenced, offering practical, life-saving guidance for anyone still trapped. He reminds every person who has ever felt controlled, gaslit, or broken that the light inside them is stronger than any organization, any abuse, any chain. From unimaginable darkness he has risen not to merely to endure but to sing, to create, to lead, and to show others the way out. Yet the true wonder of Caleb's story is only beginning. The same hands once bound by control now conduct healing. The same spirit once told to stay silent now speaks with a clarity that plants seeds of awakening in hearts still living in fear. Every word of testimony he offers becomes a lantern held high for those still searching for the exit. In him we see the promise that no chain is unbreakable, no darkness final, no voice truly lost. What was once meant to erase him has instead become the very bridge others now walk across toward their own healing. Caleb stands as living testimony that even the longest night can end in a sunrise no one expected - and that one courageous soul is enough to light the way for thousands more.

On this episode, we have a long and intense conversation with Keith Morgan, author of the adult biography Ruta's Closet, which tells the powerful true story of one Jewish family's survival during the Holocaust in Nazi-occupied Lithuania. Keith shares how the book—originally written for adults—has become a vital resource for teaching teens about this dark chapter of history, and how he's now working on age-appropriate versions and guides so parents and educators can share the story with younger readers. Keith recalls meeting Ruth, the survivor whose story he tells, and how her late-in-life decision to speak out turned into his own lifelong mission. He talks about the courageous rescuers who risked everything to save Jewish children, including Ruth's rescuer, and how these stories of bravery and neighborly kindness can offer hope even in the midst of horror. We also dig into the rise in antisemitism, the dangers of misinformation and conspiracy theories on social media, and why media literacy is now a crucial part of how we teach history to kids and teens. In the final segment, we shift gears and welcome Kelly Garrett, author of Poodessa and Duke Make Table Manners Great Again. Kelly shares how her upbeat, no-nonsense grandmother inspired both her main character and her mission to help kids rediscover reading, kindness, and good manners around the table. Together, these conversations offer parents and educators practical ways to raise thoughtful, empathetic, and well-informed kids—through the power of story.

Tudor Dixon takes listeners inside Israel for a special edition of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, sharing her firsthand journey through the Holy Land and the biblical sites that transformed the way she reads Scripture. Tudor sits down with U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee to discuss why he believes Americans and Christians should visit Israel, what travelers experience on the ground, the decline in tourism, and why seeing Jerusalem and the Holy Land firsthand can bring biblical history to life. Huckabee also addresses perceptions about safety, religious freedom, and relations among Israel's Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Arab, and Druze communities. Tudor also speaks with Ze’ev Orenstein, Director of International Affairs at the City of David, about archaeological discoveries that connect visitors with Jerusalem's biblical past. They discuss King David, faith, America's Judeo-Christian heritage, equality before the law, and why passing history and faith from one generation to the next matters. Plus, Tudor reflects on visiting the Sea of Galilee and Garden of Gethsemane and explains how walking through the places described in Scripture changed her personal connection to the Bible. It's a special journey through Israel, Christianity, archaeology, biblical history, and faith—from the City of David to conversations about the future of the Holy Land.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The FlyDubai FZ1073 story has been questioned over its apparent Islamaphobic reporting of an “incident” or “brawl” rather than a hijacking. But data indicates that the squawk 7700 code was transmitted to indicate a “general emergency,” not a hijacking necessarily. A pilot named Aaron Murphy further told CNN that if the numbers involved, including altitude change, speed, etc., were accurate the plane would have broken apart as it plummeted 14,000 feet in 30 seconds, was jerked back to 21,0000 and then back down to 15,000. Is it possible that once again we are dealing with a 271,000 vs 6 million exaggeration; with a magical plane as mythical as the superhero passengers able to withstand incredible g-forces to storm the cockpit and save the day with nothing but knowledge of air disaster movies? Video of Yaniv Haun, the Jewish plumber who saved the day, then met with Prime Minister Netanyahu in what looked like an after-play celebration. Laughter and hand shakes filled the press event which featured a happy Yaniv covered in blood that hadn't oxidized after 10 hours, and with no apparent medical or self-care administration prior to the cameras. His shirt featured the words “sketchers Los Angeles,” in similar manner to a Vanity Fair photoshoot of Erika Kirk that featured red shoes and a red square-quilt with the word “scam.” In fact, Yaniv also had red “shoes” in the form of bloody socks that apparently did not stain his shoes. In the aftermath, Israeli passengers can be seen bouncing and clapping as they celebrate the landing like the end of a Hollywood blockbuster, and not unlike the dancing Israelis on 911, something Netanyahu references when he says the Israelis onboard stopped another 911. Meanwhile, Iran had reportedly accused Mossad of planning a fake hijacking attempt to be blamed on Tehran just hours before what happened. Within the few hours after the incident, the story of the nosedive also included a spin, the stabbing was with an axe and or a knife, and the g-force was averted when the plane hit an air pocket in mid-plummet that prevented water from spilling or people from going flying. Also, the NY Times reports that passengers said luggage spilled out of opened bins, yet videos in the plane show none of this.

ADL CEO & National Director Jonathan Greenblatt joins Brian Kilmeade to discuss the heroic thwarting of a mid-air terror attack on a Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight. Greenblatt also breaks down the ADL's explosive new report exposing the systematic exclusion of Jewish artists, authors, and exhibits across cultural institutions, why the DEI complex excludes Jewish identity, and the alarming political rhetoric surrounding anti-Zionism in key election races.

Terrifying for passengers aboard a FlyDubai plane when the radical Muslim jihadi co-pilot stabs his Jewish captain in the cockpit and tries to fly the plane into the ground, ala Flight 93. Why does the media have to lie to protect Muslims who chant death to America? Some of America's doctors who helped elect Trump and have supported RFK's MAHA agenda say they will sit out the midterms if the administration doesn't rescind the FDAs approval of anything mRNA. The generic ballot shows a virtual toss up for the midterms - which is not the news the DNC needed to hear.  

Read OnlineThe Angel at Your Side“See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.” Matthew 18:10Angels fascinate both young and old. Countless books and stories have been written and shared about encounters with these heavenly beings. If you were to behold one of God's angels, you would undoubtedly be filled with awe, marveling at the angel's beauty, splendor, and power.Today, the Church honors those members of the Celestial Hierarchy who are most intimately involved in our daily lives: our Guardian Angels. The Gospel for this Memorial offers us insight into both their nature and their greatness.The passage begins with a worldly question posed by Jesus' disciples: “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Their question reveals a lingering attachment to status and honor, reflective of human preoccupations both then and now. In response, Jesus performs a surprising gesture—He places a child in their midst.In the first-century Jewish context, children held little societal importance. They had no legal authority, no public voice, and no influence. Therefore, Jesus' action is radical. By presenting a child as the model of greatness, He overturns conventional standards and introduces new criteria: humility, simplicity, dependence, weakness, and childlike trust in God.Jesus then offers a deeper reason why a child is truly great: “Their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.” These angels are the Guardian Angels. If each child is assigned such a noble guardian who stands perpetually in the presence of God, then the child, too, shares in that dignity. In fact, so does every person, for God gifts each one of us with a Guardian Angel.From this perspective, human greatness is not determined by accomplishments or public acclaim but by the love and care God lavishes upon each soul. The very fact that God entrusts every person with an angel reveals each one's intrinsic worth and sacred dignity. The gift of a Guardian Angel means that each one of us—whether a powerful ruler or a hidden soul in humble circumstances—has value in God's eyes.This first form of greatness arises from our very nature—who we are in God's sight. Such recognition should be enough for us to honor one another and treat every person with reverence. If the angels of Heaven love and serve those around us—our families, neighbors, even strangers—then we, too, must strive to love and serve them with the same devotion and love.There is also a second form of greatness worth reflecting on: the greatness that comes from freely cooperating with the will of God. When we submit ourselves to His providence and actively embrace the mission our Guardian Angels are tasked with—to guide, protect, and lead us to holiness—God's grace abounds in our lives. This does not make us intrinsically “greater” than others, but it allows the greatness of God to shine more brightly through us. In this way, His glory is magnified in and through our cooperation with His will.Reflect today on the quiet presence of your Guardian Angel. Consider the immense dignity you possess in God's eyes, a dignity confirmed by the fact that an angel has been appointed to walk with you through life. Then reflect also on the dignity of every person you encounter each day. Even those who sin and stray from God's will have been entrusted to an angel's care. We must strive to love and serve them as their angels do. As you ponder this awe-inspiring gift, allow this truth to fill you with peace, humility, and a renewed resolve to follow God's will and to help others do the same, so that His greatness may radiate through your life.Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen. Guardian angel, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You. Image: The Guardian Angel, by Bernhard PlockhorstSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

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 Ariela Karmel joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As details trickled in regarding the attempted attack on the flydubai flight to Tel Aviv, Karmel discusses how the event became a political flashpoint, with less than a month before the October 27 election and the fast-approaching third anniversary of the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack. She reviews the political rhetoric from the government allies and the opposition, which created a split-screen reality. With the High Court of Justice holding hearings on the disqualification of Arab parties and candidates from the October 27 election, Karmel reviews the case of Balad chairman Sami Abu Shehadeh, which is expected to be upheld by the court in a rare occasion of consensus, in large part because of an article he wrote after October 7 in which he expressed support for Hamas. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Send us Fan MailAvi & Sam Rosenfeld on Losing Their Son Natan in Gaza: Faith, Pride, and Choosing Light After October 7In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein, we talk to Avi and Sam Rosenfeld, who lost their son Natan, a combat engineer soldier killed in Gaza on June 29, and reflects on the rupture of Simchat Torah 2023 and October 7 for the Jewish people. They share Natan's personality, aliyah from London to Israel when he was seven, and how his friends and community honor him through gatherings, stickers, Torah scrolls, naming newborns, and projects like a pergola in Yerucham and a flower gemach. Avi describes Natan's death in an RPG incident that he views as involving miracles, and both parents discuss grief, resilience, and their differing relationships with emunah and Hashem, including ongoing struggle, simple faith, and gratitude. They explain why they would make aliyah again, support their son Zevi's upcoming combat enlistment, and emphasize choosing light, doing good, and living fully in Natan's memory.EPISODE SPONSORSColel Chabad Pushka AppColel Chabad is one of Israel's oldest continuously operating charities, supporting families with food security, widows & orphans, and emergency relief.  Their Pushka (Charity Box) App makes it easy to turn inspiration into action with simple daily giving—small “micro-donations” that add up to real impact over time.

This episode features guests Nik (Mr. Fitnick) and Conservativewilky (Colton Wilson), co-hosts of the Nik and Colton Show, discussing local government and school funding disputes in Ocean County, New Jersey, centered on the town of Lakewood. The guests make a series of unverified claims about the local Jewish community, including allegations of coordinated political control, misuse of public funds, and fraud, framed as findings from their own on the ground reporting. They also describe facing legal cease and desist letters after making public accusations against named individuals and discuss the Anti-Defamation League's complaint process. Listener note: this episode centers on claims that are conspiratorial and antisemitic in nature and are presented here as a factual description of the episode's content, not as verified reporting or an endorsement of those claims.  

Brian talks with Rabbi Kirt Schneider, host of Discovering the Jewish Jesus, about a remarkable ministry development. Rabbi Schneider shares an unusual nighttime experience in September 2023 pointing him to Acts 22:2, which he felt called him to confront the Jewish community more directly with the message of Messiah. After an initial billboard campaign in Israel fell flat, his team was unexpectedly offered the domain Jews.com by a broker they hadn't heard from in years — a purchase Schneider calls nothing short of miraculous given the controversy of a Messianic Jew owning that name. The ministry has since spent over $3 million placing billboards across New York City and New Jersey directing people to the free site, which has drawn over 350,000 visitors, sparked coverage in Jewish outlets like the Jerusalem Post, and generated everything from antisemitic backlash to sincere spiritual seekers now engaging in a live webcast. Rabbi Schneider encourages listeners to simply share the Jews.com link with Jewish friends and points supporters to DiscoveringTheJewishJesus.com to help fund the outreach.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on CUFI Weekly, we examine a frightening question: what happens when the people and institutions we are supposed to trust no longer feel safe?An Israel-bound Flydubai flight narrowly avoided catastrophe after a pilot allegedly stabbed the captain and attempted to crash the aircraft—an incident Israeli authorities are investigating as a possible terror attack with chilling echoes of 9/11.Meanwhile, in  Britain, a report on its National Health Service documented the discrimination experienced by Jewish staff and patients from the cockpit to the hospital, trust matters. When antisemitism and hatred penetrate professions entrusted with human life, the consequences extend far beyond hateful words—they undermine the basic confidence that people should be able to place in those responsible for their safety.

Daniel and Harry are joined by novelist Melanie Anagnos to discuss Vittorio De Sica's 1970 Oscar winner The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, about an aristocratic Jewish family in Ferrara sealing themselves off from the world — and from Italy's 1938 racial laws — behind the walls of their estate.The trio digs into the film's tennis-club-turned-exile opening, the garden as an Edenic stand-in for both sanctuary and denial, and the bigger question the film keeps circling: who gets to decide whether you're an Italian Jew or a Jewish Italian. They also debate whether the family's insulated, aristocratic remove from the war closing in around them reads as denial or something closer to grace.As always, they close out with some stretch-of-the-pod theories — walls, gates, and Garden of Eden symbolism included — before rating the film's Jewishness on their 1 to 5 scale.Melanie's LinksCheck out Melanie's workCherchez La Femma - Melanie's SubstackBuy the "Nightswimming" AudiobookConnect with Jews on Film online:Jews on Film Merch - https://jews-on-film.printify.me/productsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/jewsonfilm/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jewsonfilmpodYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@jewsonfilmTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@jewsonfilmpod

The Mishneh Torah was the Rambam's (Rabbi Moses ben Maimon) magnum opus, a work spanning hundreds of chapters and describing all of the laws mentioned in the Torah. To this day it is the only work that details all of Jewish observance, including those laws which are only applicable when the Holy Temple is in place. Participating in one of the annual study cycles of these laws (3 chapters/day, 1 chapter/day, or Sefer Hamitzvot) is a way we can play a small but essential part in rebuilding the final Temple.

Who really killed Jesus? At first, the answer seems straightforward: Roman soldiers carried out the crucifixion. But the biblical account involves far more people—Judas betrayed Jesus, Jewish leaders handed Him over, the crowd demanded Barabbas, and Pontius Pilate authorized the execution. So who was actually responsible? Alex Zimmerman and Pastor Don Patterson examine the historical and biblical evidence surrounding Jesus' death and then move to the deeper theological question: How can Jesus be genuinely killed by human agents while also willingly laying down His own life? The discussion looks at Judas, Caiaphas, the Sanhedrin, the crowd, Pilate, Roman authority, and the prophetic passages that anticipated Christ's suffering. Psalm 22, Isaiah 53, John 10, and Hebrews 9–10 help explain why the cross cannot be understood simply as a political execution that went wrong. The conversation ultimately becomes personal. The Bible connects Jesus' death to human sin, which raises an uncomfortable question: What does it mean to say, “I killed Christ”? The answer isn't that every person physically participated in the crucifixion. It is that the sin Christ came to deal with is our sin. Understanding that changes how we think about repentance, humility, sacrifice, and the gospel.

Read OnlineTestifying to the TruthJesus appointed seventy-two other disciples whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit. He said to them, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.”  Luke 10:1–3One of the clearest safeguards for ensuring the authenticity and integrity of Christian duty is that we proclaim the Gospel in communion with others. The Christian disciple is never a lone ranger. We do not carry the mission of Christ by private inspiration or isolated insight, but in the context of the Church. The Gospel we preach is not our own. It originates in God, is handed on through Sacred Tradition, and is entrusted to the Church as a whole.When Jesus sent out the seventy-two disciples, He sent them in pairs. This had deep theological and scriptural significance. According to Mosaic Law, the testimony of two or three witnesses was necessary to establish truth (cf. Deuteronomy 19:15). This standard was well known in Jewish culture and was traditionally applied to legal cases, but Jesus elevated it to strengthen the credibility of evangelization. Two disciples witnessing together to the truth of the Gospel would speak with a kind of moral and spiritual authority that mirrored this ancient tradition. Moreover, when we speak in union with the Church and act in concert with other faithful witnesses, our united work of evangelization becomes a harmonious echo of God's Word rather than a solitary voice subject to distortion.Even our Lord Himself respected this principle. When the Pharisees challenged Jesus for speaking on His own authority, He responded, “Even if I do testify on my own behalf, my testimony can be verified… I testify on my behalf and so does the Father who sent me” (cf. John 8:14, 18). Jesus makes clear that He does not speak in isolation; the Father testifies on His behalf. Thus, even the Son, in His earthly mission, models the humility of cooperative testimony.Consider your own duty to testify to the truth of the Gospel. The Twelve whom Jesus had earlier sent represent the bishops of the Church, who form the foundation of Christ's mission through their participation in apostolic succession. In today's Gospel, the seventy-two represent every disciple of Christ, including each of us today. Discipleship is much more than following Jesus through a personal devotion to Him and His teachings. It also includes being sent by Him. Once we receive the Gospel and interiorize it through living faith and prayer, we will then be sent by Christ to go forth and testify to the truth we have received. This is not an option; it's a necessity.How well do you do this? Sometimes we can fall into the trap of thinking that our faith is something personal that we keep to ourselves. But it is not. It must be shared, and if we are disciples, then we are also evangelists.Being an evangelist does not necessarily mean we enter into a full-time apostolate by which we preach and teach as we travel from town to town. For most, evangelization takes place in the ordinary rhythms of life—in our families, workplaces, neighborhoods, and social settings. It means living our faith with authenticity, speaking the truth with charity, and radiating Christ through our actions as well as our words. It means being willing to witness to the Gospel even when it is uncomfortable, unpopular, or rejected, and doing so in union with others in the faith.Reflect today on whether you are testifying to the truth in the way God is asking of you. Have you embraced both the privilege and the responsibility of being sent? Resolve to go forth with the courage of a lamb in the midst of wolves, never alone, but always in communion with Christ and His Church, bearing witness to the Kingdom that is at hand. Doing so will not only bring blessings to others, it will also deepen your faith and communion with God.My Lord and Living Word, Your voice must go out to the ends of the earth, drawing many to You through the members of Your Mystical Body, the Church. Please draw me close to You, dear Lord, and when I am ready, send me forth with others to testify to the Truth of Your saving Word. Use me as an instrument of Your grace, that through my witness, You may draw many souls into the glory of Your Eternal Kingdom.

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. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Just ahead of recording today's episode, headlines began surfacing about the flydubai plane that signaled an emergency during its flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv and safely landed in Saudi Arabia. IAF fighter jets were scrambled and top Israeli leadership was given emergency briefings. Horovitz discusses what is known and still unknown this morning. (As this is a developing story, please check our live blog for real-time updates.) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday condemned the massive overnight attack and riot by Jewish extremists in the West Bank the previous night. His call to prosecute the perpetrators “to the fullest extent of the law,” was joined by similar condemnations from Defense Minister Israel Katz and head of the Yesha settlement umbrella council Yisrael Ganz. All leaders, however, downplayed the attack as being perpetrated by a “small number” of people. Why the rare spate of condemnations? Also on Tuesday, Netanyahu claimed that there are concerns that “enemies” of Israel may attempt to attack it ahead of the October 27 election. By day's end, opposition leader Yair Lapid was briefed with details on the ostensible threat -- and subsequently dismissed them as fear-mongering. We hear more about the campaigns, four weeks until elections. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Pregnant with her first child, Adrienne was terrified she felt nothing and afraid she wouldn't love her baby. Everyone told her the same thing: "You'll see." They were right. Love didn't arrive first. It grew with every feeding, every sleepless night, every diaper. Jewish tradition connects ahavah, love, to hav, to give. We come to love what we give to.   The Rise & Shine Podcast Series is made possible by the generous support of Bonnie Vozar of Chicago, Illinois.

“The end is coming!” Throughout the years, this short but terrifying sentence has sent shivers down the spines of believers, conjuring images of apocalyptic destruction and trials foretold by ancient texts. But should the faithful tremble at the thought of the book of Revelation, or is there a deeper understanding to be had?This is a question Jenny Mire was able to answer in her journey to understand the end times. In this episode of The Revelations Podcast, we take a deeper look into the Bible and human history.

The Greek word “escha” means last or farthest away.There are many different views and words for this study. Specifically, Jenny views it as the “last days.”Like many others, Reagan and Jenny have been exposed to the fear of the end times that Hollywood and society have perpetuated.However, the book of Revelations isn't about fear. It is about the revealing of Jesus Christ. [06:55] Jenny: “Revelation is ‘the revealing of'… It means the revealing of Jesus Christ. It is about Jesus. When you look at Revelations with those lenses of ‘Where are we seeing him revealed?' your view starts to change.” It reveals the New Covenant and what that means for us, believers.[07:23] The Major Views of the End TimesThe dispensational view looks at Revelations at different times. From the growth of the Church to the 7-year peace agreement of the Antichrist and Jesus' return to reign and end all evil. The Church is raptured before, in the middle, or after the 7-year tribulationAmillennialism believes that Jesus reigns right now. There will be no rapture and the Church waits for Jesus' second coming and then eternity.A preterist view believes the Revelations were fulfilled in the first century. A partial preterist believes that it has mostly been fulfilled and only awaits the return of Jesus.Other views include historical, post-millennialism, futurism, and idealism. Listen to the full episode to gain a better understanding of the different views of the end times with Jenny.Jenny is a partial preterist with an amillennialist viewpoint. She believes that Jesus is reigning in the present. Once He comes back, he will bring eternity.[13:09] The Journey Into Studying the book of RevelationIn 2020, Jenny started questioning what other people told her about the end times. She started reading Revelations and felt uneasy about how some things didn't make sense.She discovered that the 7-year tribulation theology came from Daniel's 70 Weeks prophecy. Jenny started reading the Book of Daniel and listened to different viewsJenny started studying the Hebrew writings in Daniel. It's through this that she better understands the 70 Weeks prophecy and how it actually refers to Jesus and His ministry.The next step in her journey was understanding what Matthew 24 says when talking about the end times and the great tribulation.In the past year, she studied Revelations and listened to different views and perspectives. With prayer, Jenny felt the Holy Spirit confirm her beliefs not with fear but with peace.[17:02] A Deeper Look Into Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theology and HistoryDispensationalism was made popular in the 1800s by John Nelson Darby. His work has then been taught in seminaries.Josephus was a first-century Jewish historian. He documented the history of the Jewish-Roman War. His works are crucial in understanding the views of the end times.In Matthew 23, Jesus proclaimed destruction and judgment on that generation before He died in 30 AD. In 66 AD, Roman armies surrounded Jerusalem before pulling out and allowing Christians who heeded Jesus' warnings to flee the city.The Roma-Jewish War lasted for 3 and a half years as written in the books of Revelations and Daniel. It ended in 70 AD after a final siege lasting 5 months.A better understanding of these dates gave Jenny a deeper look. Learn more about these historical dates and Bible writings in Jenny's full explanation in this episode.[27:02] The Book of RevelationsMany believe that John wrote Revelations between 90 and 95 AD. However, based on his age and writing, it makes sense to have been written around 60 ADRevelations is the last book in the Bible as it describes the destruction of the temple and how it embodies the Mosaic Covenant.Jenny asks important questions to better understand Revelations in her journey. This brings her to the realization that the Old Covenant is done and the New Covenant has everything we need.[31:30] Explaining the Olivet DiscourseThe Olivet Discourse is found in Matthew 24 and Luke 21. Before this, Jesus calls out the Pharisees and scribes as hypocrites in Matthew 23.Jesus and His disciples talk about His proclamation of judgment on the Pharisees, the destruction of the temple, and when it will occur. The disciples ask Jesus about the signs of coming and the end of the age, referring to the Old Covenant Age.In Matthew, Jesus refers to the “Abomination of Desolation” mentioned by Daniel about the first-century destruction. Luke 21 tells the same story of this discourse where he writes about this desolation as Jerusalem surrounded by armies.These chapters and verses can be seen in the Roman-Jewish war between 66 AD and 70 AD.Jesus' proclamation was fulfilled. Romans conquered, took people captive, and left others dead. Not one stone was left in the temple when it was destroyed in the war.[42:38] The End of the Old CovenantThe 70 weeks of Daniel was during Jesus' 3-and-a-half-year ministry. He was crucified midway through the 70th week. [43:19] Jenny: “When Jesus came when he resurrected and ascended into heaven, He began reigning at that point. The new covenant was in effect for those who accepted it.” After Jesus' resurrection and ascension, the New Covenant and His reign began.This overlapped with the Old Covenant as it became obsolete and slowly vanished. The fall of the temple was the end of the Old Covenant.[46:14] Following the Way of the New CovenantRecently, there has been talk about rebuilding the temple. However, Jenny believes that this is a distraction of the enemy from our task to grow and become many. [46:34] Jenny: “You and I are the temple and the Holy Spirit. God dwells in us and where He dwells is His glory. So when it says the glory will fill the whole Earth, that is us, believers.” People are so focused on what can happen in the future that it distracts us from what we should be doing. Many are scared and choose not to live their lives due to this fear.We get stuck in fear. However, it's important to ask about if this is from the Lord. The Lord is perfect love and not based on fear.John, as a prophet of the first century, wrote Revelations referring to the first destruction of the temple like the prophets of the Old Testament.Jenny believes we are at the end of the book, experiencing Jesus' reign and waiting for His return. We are made spiritually new in Christ but yearn for physical restoration.[56:16] Freedom From Fear By Understanding the End TimesWhat Jenny has learned about the end times has helped her in understanding the New Covenant.She is now on a new journey to find out what it means to be a new creation and know our true identity.Once we stop fearing and looking for the Antichrist and more, we can focus on Jesus and the New Covenant. There is freedom from fear to be able to live and move forward. About JennyJenny Mire is the founder of The Rooted Truth and Think Fit.

We know that in the Midbar, Hashem gave the Jewish people three miraculous gifts: the mann, the Be'er Shel Miriam(well), and the Ananei HaKavod(clouds of glory). Yet we have a Yom Tov that commemorates only the Ananei HaKavod—this holiday of Sukkot. Why don't we have a Yom Tov for the mann or for the well? The Mabit answers that the Jewish people could not survive in the desert without food and water. Hashem, so to speak, had to provide those for them. But the Ananei HaKavod, the Clouds of Glory, were different. Technically, they could have survived without them. It would have been very difficult. The scorching sun would have beaten down upon them. They would have been exposed to snakes and scorpions, and the terrain would have been extremely difficult to travel through. But they could have survived. The Ananei HaKavod showed us something much more. Hashem didn't just want His children to survive. He wanted them to be comfortable. He wanted the climate to be perfect, the terrain to be smooth, and He wanted to protect them from everything around them. And therefore, when we sit in the sukkah and remember those clouds, Hashem wants us to internalize how much love He has for us. He doesn't just give us what we need. He gives us so much more. Furthermore, we see an even deeper expression of Hashem's love at the Yam Suf. Rashi tells us in Parashat Yitro that when the Mitzrim were shooting arrows at the Jewish people, the Ananei HaKavod were absorbing them. Hashem could have protected the Jewish people in countless ways. He could have stopped the Egyptians from shooting the arrows altogether. Why did He specifically have the clouds absorb those arrows? The Tiferet Shmuel explains that the Ananei HaKavod represented the Shechinah surrounding the Jewish people. Hashem was telling us, so to speak, "I want to take the arrows for you." Hashem wanted us to understand the extraordinary love that He has for us. When someone truly loves another person, he doesn't only want to give to that person, and he is not only willing to take pain for that person—he even wants to take the pain for that person. A mother will endure tremendous pain for her child and even feel happy to do so. The greater the love, the more a person is willing to sacrifice for the one he loves. On Sukkot, Hashem wants us to recognize that this is the love He has for us. The Ananei HaKavod didn't just show us that Hashem will provide for us. They showed us that Hashem loves us with an endless love. And when a person truly understands how much Hashem loves him, naturally, he will want to reciprocate. Toward the end of his life, the Chafetz Chaim would pray that he should have the opportunity to die al Kiddush Hashem. The Tiferet Shmuel explained that it was not because he was looking for more zechuyot. He was saying, "Hashem, I love You so much. I wish I could show You just how much I love You. I would even give You the most precious thing I have—my life." There was a time when the Chafetz Chaim had to spend an entire Shabbat alone in a field in order to avoid violating Shabbat. He had no food and no comforts, yet afterward he described what a beautiful Shabbat he had. The difficulty itself became an enjoyment for him because he knew he was doing it for Hashem. When we know how much Hashem loves us, our attitude toward serving Him can change. Something could be difficult, like getting up early to learn and pray, holding ourselves back from something we want to do, or doing a mitzvah under challenging circumstances. But instead of thinking, "Why do I have to do this now?" we can think, "Hashem, I love You. If this is what You want from me now, I'm happy to do it." There are people who, even when experiencing suffering, are able to say, "Hashem, I know You love me, and I know You want this for me. So not only am I going to accept it, but I'm going to embrace the pain You are giving me because it is what You want." This is a high level of emunah. Sukkot is our opportunity to sit under the s'chach and think about what the Ananei HaKavod really showed us. Hashem didn't just keep us alive. He surrounded us with love. He made everything perfect for us, and He showed us, so to speak, that He was even happy to take the pain for us. The more we recognize how much Hashem loves us, the more we are going to love Him back. And then, even when serving Him requires sacrifice, instead of focusing on the pain, we will feel the privilege and say, "Hashem, I love doing this for You."

Tudor Dixon takes listeners inside her transformational journey through Israel in this special edition of The Tudor Dixon Podcast. At Magdala along the Sea of Galilee, Tudor sits down with Father Kelly for a deeply personal conversation about Christian faith, Mary Magdalene, forgiveness, humility, pilgrimage, and what it means to make room in our hearts for others. Tudor reflects on how walking through the Holy Land challenged her own perspective and reminded her to put her identity as a child of God ahead of the divisions of politics. Then, Tudor travels to Jerusalem for a conversation with Michael Weiss, founder of Yalla Basta, about another side of Israel—the extraordinary mix of cultures, cuisines and communities that make up everyday life. Weiss describes Israel as a melting pot of roughly 70 culinary traditions and discusses coexistence between Jewish and Arab Israelis, the decline in tourism following October 7, and his perspective on the difference between international perceptions of Israel and what visitors experience on the ground. From biblical history and Christian pilgrimage to food, culture and everyday life, Tudor shares why her first trip to Israel became an experience she believes every Christian should consider making for themselves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Europe is turning up the pressure on Israel, but are Ireland and the Netherlands applying standards they wouldn't use anywhere else? Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum expose the contradictions and growing tensions behind Europe's increasingly hostile approach to the Jewish state. From Ireland's protests against Israel in international sports to Dutch restrictions on Israeli products, the two examine how relations have deteriorated, and why Israel may no longer be willing to simply absorb the criticism. They also dig into Europe's complicated history with the Jewish people and ask what's really driving this dramatic shift against Israel.

Karol Markowicz sits down with Dr. Yossi Sheffi, MIT professor and author of Unsafe at MIT: A Chronicle of a Campus War on the Jews, for a candid conversation about antisemitism, campus activism and what Jewish students have experienced at one of America’s most prestigious universities. Sheffi explains why he decided to document events at MIT, including interviews with roughly 50 students, and argues that although conditions on campus have improved, an undercurrent of antisemitism and harassment remains. He describes Jewish students being excluded from study groups and discusses why that can have a particularly serious impact in engineering programs built around collaborative work. Karol and Sheffi also tackle a question facing Jewish parents: Should their children still attend elite universities where antisemitism has become a concern? Sheffi discusses alternatives, the difference between undergraduate and graduate education, and efforts by Jewish faculty and students to build stronger communities and academic partnerships. Plus, Sheffi discusses the response he's received since publishing Unsafe at MIT, why he believes speaking out is worth the consequences, and the life philosophy that guides him: do the right thing regardless of whether people applaud or vilify you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"This is a personal letter to Timothy, son of a Greek father and a Jewish mother. He was converted during Paul's visit, to Lystra (Acts 16.1). He became Paul's special protégé, and, though evidently diffident and nervous in temperament, was his loyal assistant. He accompanied Paul on various missions and has now been left in charge of the church at Ephesus".    - From the introduction.   Originally published in Letters to Young Churches.

What does Zion mean to the Jewish people—and what happens when Jews themselves profoundly disagree about its meaning? In this Kol Nidrei sermon, Rabbi Yoshi Zweiback traces Zion through the arc of a Jewish life and explores two ancient teachings: U'vacharta bachayim—“Choose life”—and Atem nitzavim hayom kulchem—“You stand this day, all of you.” At a moment of deep division, he offers three challenges for sustaining the Jewish story: Know it. Teach it. And make room for one another inside it.
