Madlik Podcast – Torah Thoughts on Judaism From a Post-Orthodox Jew
We usually associate Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur with judgment and fear, but a closer look at the texts reveals a completely different, shocking command: rejoice. Wake up. Shake off the dust. Put on your finest clothes—and rejoice! The haftarah for Parshat Shoftim delivers an urgent wake-up call to a defeated and demoralized people: Hit'oreri, hit'oreri—Awaken, awaken! Uri, uri—Wake up, wake up! Isaiah calls upon Zion to rise from the dust, cast off the identity of a captive, dress herself in garments of splendor, and reclaim her place as God's beloved. Key Takeaways Consolation demands action - Isaiah does not tell Zion simply to feel better. He commands her to awaken, shake off the dust, change her clothes, and reclaim her identity. Lecha Dodi turns prophecy into practice - Every Friday night, Isaiah's distant promise of redemption becomes a present experience: we welcome the Sabbath bride with "exceedingly great joy" and rehearse the possibility of beginning again. The High Holidays are not only about fear - Nehemiah commands the people to rejoice on Rosh Hashanah, while the Mishnah calls Yom Kippur one of Israel's most joyous days. God's kingship brings awe—but also confidence, consolation, and radical delight.

In recent decades, the burgeoning ultra-orthodox demographic in Israel has become increasingly autonomous and aggressively entitled. They have leveraged their political power skilfully - as the “Kingmakers” in successive elections. And their support has been very richly rewarded - particularly by PM Benjamin Netanyahu. He has diverted significant state funds to haredi institutions and programs in return for their coalition support. Four years ago, when negotiating the present coalition government, Netanyahu promised the haredi parties that the government would pass a law granting exempting ultra-orthodox men who studied religion full-time from IDF service. Additionally, the ultra-orthodox were allocated significant increases in financial support for families with a full-time religious student. In fact, haredi families are fully supported financially by the state. And in the last three years of near-constant war - when so many Israelis have given so much - state largesse to the ultra-orthodox has exceeded that allocated to veterans and their families. Day care is just one of many examples. Haredi families receive very generous stipends for day care costs, far more than what is provided to non-haredim. But their refusal to serve in the IDF and share the security burden that is so critical to Israel's survival, well, that is too much. In this episode, we speak with Uri Keidar, who heads Free Israel, an NGO focused on policy that addresses religion and state matters. We discuss a recent hearing at the Supreme Court of Israel in which a non-judge panel heard arguments as to why haredi men who dodge their draft call-ups should be subject to arrest and criminal charges. This issue is tearing at the heart and soul of the country, perhaps more than any other. It is not the external enemies that will destroy Israel. It is the domestic madness.Show your support for STLV at buymeacoffee.com/stateoftelavivPodcast NotesI mention this recent STLV article in the podcast that chronicles the last-minute efforts by the ultra-orthodox political parties to ram a law through the Knesset exempting haredi men from serving in the IDF. There are some great clips from committee discussions (with English subtitles) that show you the reality of this issue. It's kind of surreal:Uri Keidar is the Executive Director of Israel Hofsheet, the largest advocacy organization in Israel in the field of religious freedom and Jewish pluralism. Israel Hofsheet works with members of the Knesset, ministers, and government officials to promote liberal policies regarding Religion and State, and it also fosters change through municipal politics and change-maker training. The organization also creates national campaigns that move the needle around public opinion on these ideas. It also promotes Bottom-Up change as it conducts hundreds of Jewish weddings a year without the Chief Rabbinate's involvement, making it the most prominent organization in Israel to do so. Before this role, Uri spent over seven years in leading positions in civil society organizations and politics, both in elected and professional positions. Uri grew up in Kibbutz Givat Brenner, where he now lives with his wife, Ayelet, and their children, Imri, Adam, and Eytan. He also serves as the elected Chair of the Kibbutz's Municipal Committee. Uri earned his BA in political science and communications from Ben Gurion University of the Negev, where he served as the elected Chairperson of the Student Union, and also holds a Master's Degree in Public Administration from Tel Aviv University. He completed his military service as a tank commander in the IDF's armored corps, where he still serves in active reserve duty.Find Uri Keidar on Social Media:facebook.com/bfreeisraelinstagram.com/israel_hofsheetState of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication.

Bei einem Erdbeben im Westen Kolumbiens gibt es gemäss ersten Meldungen Verletzte und zahlreiche Schäden an Gebäuden. Die Erschütterungen der Stärke 7,4 waren auch in der Hauptstadt Bogota und bis an die Grenze zu Venezuela zu spüren, wie Augenzeugen gegenüber Nachrichtenagenturen berichten. Weitere Themen: Der israelische Premierminister stellt sich gegen den US-Präsidenten. Benjamin Netanjahu lehnt den 15-Punkte-Friedensplan für Gaza ab. Hintergrund sind die bevorstehenden Wahlen in Israel. Von der von Donald Trump gross angekündigten historischen Wende in Gaza ist nicht mehr viel übrig. Vor zehn Jahren wurde der Gotthardbasistunnel eröffnet. Dadurch sind die Hauptorte der Kantone Tessin und Uri, Bellinzona und Altdorf, näher zusammengerückt. Urner und Tessiner profitieren von Angeboten im Nachbarkanton, der nur noch eine halbstündige Zugfahrt entfernt liegt.

Den römisch-katholischen Gottesdienst zum Nationalfeiertag überträgt SRF am 1. August erneut live vom Gotthardpass. Bei guter Witterung feiern Gläubige aus der ganzen Schweiz unter freiem Himmel. Die Predigt hält Weihbischof Alain de Raemy, Apostolischer Administrator der Diözese Lugano. Der Ort hat auch eine symbolische Bedeutung: Das Gotthardmassiv liegt im Herzen der Schweiz und ist ein starker Anziehungspunkt für Touristen. Aber auch für Pilger, welche seit dem Mittelalter den Wegen des Glaubens folgten, von Norden nach Süden und umgekehrt. Seit dem Jahr 2000, einem symbolischen Datum, wird jedes Jahr am 1. August eine Messe unter freiem Himmel, inmitten eines atemberaubenden Panoramas, zwischen der Deutschschweiz und dem Tessin gefeiert. Gläubige aus den Kantonen Tessin, Uri und Graubünden treffen sich zum Gottesdienst auf dem Gotthardpass auf einer Höhe von 2000 Metern über Meer. Radiotelevisione Svizzera RSI begann 2015 mit der Liveübertragung des Gottesdienstes vom Gotthardpass. Zum elften Mal in Folge (mit Ausnahme des Pandemiejahres) werden dieses Jahr die Kameras vor Ort sein. Die Feier wird von Weihbischof Alain de Raemy, Apostolischer Administrator der Diözese Lugano, geleitet. Wie letztes Jahr wünscht er sich eine starke Präsenz der anderen christlichen Konfessionen, die in der italienischen Schweiz vertreten sind – ein Symbol für die Bedeutung des Christentums in der Schweizer Geschichte. Bei schlechtem Wetter wird der Gottesdienst in der Pfarrkirche von Airolo gefeiert.

EPISODE SUMMARYBart reconnects with one of his earliest podcast guests, Gail Lowney Alofsin, speaker, author, URI professor, and founder of Leadership at All Levels, for a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like two old friends solving the world's problems over coffee.Gail shares how a childhood of intentional giving, literacy volunteering at 17, and decades of mission work in Haiti shaped her philosophy of abundance: giving freely without expecting anything in return. She and Bart unpack the difference between customer service (what you do for people) and customer experience (how people feel because of you), and Gail introduces her "Black Napkin Theory," a quietly powerful story about a server who noticed what you were wearing before you even sat down.The conversation moves through resilience, dealing with difficult people, the power of using someone's name, and what it means to notice, anticipate, and over-deliver, not just in hospitality, but in everyday life. Bart shares stories of gratitude stones, United flight attendant Nick Pino, and playing the "how many people can we help right now?" game in a coffee shop line. This episode is a masterclass in Humanality, and proof that small, intentional acts of seeing people can change the room.KEY TAKAWAYSThe Black Napkin Theory. A great experience is never announced. It is felt. When a server silently swaps your white napkin for a black one because you are wearing dark pants, no words are needed. That is the standard. What is your black napkin moment?Customer service vs. customer experience. Service is what you do for people. Experience is how people feel because of you. Know the difference and train for both.Use their name. Names are free. They are the cheapest, most powerful way to make someone feel seen. If someone gives you their name, hand it back.Abundance is a practice. Gail has given introductions, leads, and opportunities freely since day one, not because she expected anything back, but because she genuinely believes in people. Abundance taught early becomes a lifelong reflex.Bless and release. Difficult people, bad managers, arrogant behavior. Gail's answer is always the same: let them vent, stay grounded, and release it. Do not leave your good job because of one bad season.Four touchpoints by 10am. Want to build a human culture? Start small. Know the name of the person cleaning the floor. Ask the overnight front desk staff how their night was. Four meaningful human moments before the workday starts sets the tone for everything after.Notice, anticipate, over-deliver. It is not a hospitality strategy. It is a human one. Anyone, anywhere, can play the game: look around and ask "who could I help right now?"Learn more about Gail Lowney Alofsin and her work at gail@gailspeaks.com and connect with Gail Lowney Alofsin on LinkedIn.

India and Pakistan have not been in a dialogue since 2016 when talks broke after the terror attacks at Pathankot and subsequently at Uri. The previous twelve years have witnessed major attacks at Pahalgam (2025) and Pulwama (2019) and that apart there were several smaller terror attacks. Earlier this month, a group of eminent citizens led by Gandhian O.P. Shah drafted a joint appeal to the leaders of India and Pakistan urging them to restart dialogue. This has restarted a public debate on whether it is the right time for both India and Pakistan to sit down for talks. Guest: Former MP Mani Shankar Aiyar, who is a signatory to the letter and Tara Kartha, former Director at the National Security Council Secretariat. Excerpts from the conversation.

Suiza es un pequeño país de 41.285 km² y cerca de 8,9 millones de habitantes, ubicado en el corazón de Europa entre los Alpes y el Jura, donde la mayor parte de su población vive en ciudades de la meseta suiza. Su historia comenzó con la alianza de los cantones alpinos de Uri, Schwyz y Unterwalden, que en el siglo XIII se unieron para defender su autonomía frente a los Habsburgo, dando origen a la Confederación Suiza, a la que luego se incorporaron importantes ciudades y regiones de habla francesa e italiana.

This article deals with Elvis and his more esoteric leanings, and then the boys talk a little bit about JFK's potential acid trip with a mistress of his that ends up dead right after the Warren Commission. We then get into Uri Geller and Andrija Puharich, talking more about their experiences in Israel before mentioning their meeting with Wernher von Braun - yes, that Wernher von Braun. We don't actually get into Uri Geller at Stanford Research Institute, but we promise we'll get to that in Uri, part 3. Sorry we get so distracted, but we think you'll really like this episode! https://hemisphericpress.substack.com/p/all-hail-the-king

Its been a minute! Blame it on Trevor. But its also my fault. We have Brad back for a book report on Uri, written by posthumous friend of the show Andrija Puharich. We do a classic Brad intro that talks about his appearnace on Jason Abadi, his work for the hemisphericpress.substack.com Substack, and some intel agency stuff. We segue into Andrija Puharich and eventually we get to Uri Geller. We end up on Sirius? Very interesting show overall, but the last half gets a little weird so definitely hang in there.

Interview with Janet Lee Sheriff, Director & CEO of Verdera EnergyOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/verdera-energy-tsxvv-premium-uranium-portfolio-with-20m-to-spend-9385Recording date: 22nd May 2026Verdera Energy is emerging as a uranium development company focused on unlocking the potential of New Mexico, a jurisdiction that management believes could play an increasingly important role in future US uranium supply. At a time when energy security, nuclear power expansion, and artificial intelligence-driven electricity demand are becoming major investment themes, the company is positioning itself to benefit from a growing emphasis on domestic uranium production.The foundation of the investment case is the company's substantial resource base at approximately 88 million pounds of historic and known uranium resources across multiple projects in New Mexico. The flagship West Largo project is currently undergoing modernization through an updated NI 43-101 technical report, while additional work is being completed to evaluate resource expansion opportunities and future development pathways.A key differentiator for the company is its focus on in-situ recovery (ISR) uranium projects. ISR has become one of the preferred uranium extraction methods due to its potential for lower capital requirements and reduced environmental disturbance compared to conventional mining techniques. Management believes West Largo represents one of the most attractive ISR opportunities in the United States and could become a significant asset as domestic uranium demand grows.Beyond its resource base, Verdera possesses a potentially valuable strategic asset in the form of historical geological information. According to management, the company controls more than 90% of the proprietary uranium exploration data available in New Mexico. This extensive database, accumulated from previous operators including Kerr-McGee and URI, may help reduce exploration risk, improve targeting efficiency, and accelerate project advancement.The broader opportunity extends beyond individual projects. Management believes New Mexico remains an underappreciated uranium jurisdiction despite hosting substantial uranium resources and important nuclear-related infrastructure. As the United States seeks to reduce dependence on imported uranium and strengthen domestic supply chains, jurisdictions capable of supporting large-scale uranium production may receive increasing attention from investors, industry participants, and policymakers.Another important aspect of Verdera's strategy is its emphasis on community engagement and social licence. The company recognizes that historical uranium mining activities created concerns among local communities and Indigenous groups. CEO Janet Lee Sheriff brings approximately three decades of experience working with Indigenous communities in Canada's Yukon and is applying a similar relationship-based approach in New Mexico. Through educational initiatives, stakeholder engagement, and industry conferences, management is seeking to build trust and support for future development activities.Looking ahead, investors should monitor several potential catalysts. These include updated resource estimates, technical studies, permitting milestones, drilling programs, infrastructure planning, and potential strategic partnerships. The company is also evaluating opportunities involving central processing facilities and possible joint ventures that could support future project development.As nuclear energy continues to gain support as a reliable, low-carbon power source and as electricity demand rises from emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, domestic uranium production is becoming increasingly important. With a large resource base, significant proprietary data holdings, experienced leadership, and exposure to a strategic uranium jurisdiction, Verdera Energy offers investors a way to participate in the evolving US uranium development story.View Verdera Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/verdera-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore.2 And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.3 Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.4 Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.5 Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they sware.6 Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away.7 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;8 And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.10 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.11 Now therefore make confession unto the Lord God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.12 Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.13 But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.14 Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned from us.15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.16 And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain chief of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of them by their names, were separated, and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.17 And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.18 And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken strange wives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.19 And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass.20 And of the sons of Immer; Hanani, and Zebadiah.21 And of the sons of Harim; Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah, and Jehiel, and Uzziah.22 And of the sons of Pashur; Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethaneel, Jozabad, and Elasah.23 Also of the Levites; Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah, (the same is Kelita,) Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer.24 Of the singers also; Eliashib: and of the porters; Shallum, and Telem, and Uri.25 Moreover of Israel: of the sons of Parosh; Ramiah, and Jeziah, and Malchiah, and Miamin, and Eleazar, and Malchijah, and Benaiah.26 And of the sons of Elam; Mattaniah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, and Abdi, and Jeremoth, and Eliah.27 And of the sons of Zattu; Elioenai, Eliashib, Mattaniah, and Jeremoth, and Zabad, and Aziza.28 Of the sons also of Bebai; Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai, and Athlai.29 And of the sons of Bani; Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub, and Sheal, and Ramoth.30 And of the sons of Pahathmoab; Adna, and Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezaleel, and Binnui, and Manasseh.31 And of the sons of Harim; Eliezer, Ishijah, Malchiah, Shemaiah, Shimeon,32 Benjamin, Malluch, and Shemariah.33 Of the sons of Hashum; Mattenai, Mattathah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, and Shimei.34 Of the sons of Bani; Maadai, Amram, and Uel,35 Benaiah, Bedeiah, Chelluh,36 Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib,37 Mattaniah, Mattenai, and Jaasau,38 And Bani, and Binnui, Shimei,39 And Shelemiah, and Nathan, and Adaiah,40 Machnadebai, Shashai, Sharai,41 Azareel, and Shelemiah, Shemariah,42 Shallum, Amariah, and Joseph.43 Of the sons of Nebo; Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Jadau, and Joel, Benaiah.44 All these had taken strange wives: and some of them had wives by whom they had children.

Ezra 10 While Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, a very great assembly of men, women, and children, gathered to him out of Israel, for the people wept bitterly. 2 And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, addressed Ezra: “We have broken faith with our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land, but even now there is hope for Israel in spite of this. 3 Therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all these wives and their children, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God, and let it be done according to the Law. 4 Arise, for it is your task, and we are with you; be strong and do it.” 5 Then Ezra arose and made the leading priests and Levites and all Israel take an oath that they would do as had been said. So they took the oath. 6 Then Ezra withdrew from before the house of God and went to the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib, where he spent the night,[b] neither eating bread nor drinking water, for he was mourning over the faithlessness of the exiles. 7 And a proclamation was made throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the returned exiles that they should assemble at Jerusalem, 8 and that if anyone did not come within three days, by order of the officials and the elders all his property should be forfeited, and he himself banned from the congregation of the exiles. 9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled at Jerusalem within the three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month. And all the people sat in the open square before the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because of the heavy rain. 10 And Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have broken faith and married foreign women, and so increased the guilt of Israel. 11 Now then make confession to the Lord, the God of your fathers and do his will. Separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign wives.” 12 Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, “It is so; we must do as you have said. 13 But the people are many, and it is a time of heavy rain; we cannot stand in the open. Nor is this a task for one day or for two, for we have greatly transgressed in this matter. 14 Let our officials stand for the whole assembly. Let all in our cities who have taken foreign wives come at appointed times, and with them the elders and judges of every city, until the fierce wrath of our God over this matter is turned away from us.” 15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah opposed this, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supported them. 16 Then the returned exiles did so. Ezra the priest selected men,[c] heads of fathers' houses, according to their fathers' houses, each of them designated by name. On the first day of the tenth month they sat down to examine the matter; 17 and by the first day of the first month they had come to the end of all the men who had married foreign women. Those Guilty of Intermarriage 18 Now there were found some of the sons of the priests who had married foreign women: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah, some of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brothers. 19 They pledged themselves to put away their wives, and their guilt offering was a ram of the flock for their guilt.[d] 20 Of the sons of Immer: Hanani and Zebadiah. 21 Of the sons of Harim: Maaseiah, Elijah, Shemaiah, Jehiel, and Uzziah. 22 Of the sons of Pashhur: Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethanel, Jozabad, and Elasah. 23 Of the Levites: Jozabad, Shimei, Kelaiah (that is, Kelita), Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer. 24 Of the singers: Eliashib.

What does that mean? Leah's words shook him.He: כשהם חזרו לשולחן, אורי הקטן, הבן של אורן, חסר מנוחה, התחיל את המרוץ לאפיקומן מוקדם מהמתוכנן.En: When they returned to the table, little Uri, Oren's son, restless, started the race for the afikoman earlier than planned.He: אורן חייך בחצי לב, אך מחשבותיו היו במקום אחר.En: Oren smiled half-heartedly, but his thoughts were elsewhere.He: כיצד הסוד הזה ישפיע על חגם?En: How would this secret affect their holiday?He: ביום הזה, המנהגים נמשכו: קיראו ההגדה, במקום שבו אורן בדרך כלל נזכר במצרים, הוא חשב על מורשתו, על המשפחתיות שלו.En: That day, the customs continued: reading the Haggadah, where Oren usually recalled Egypt, he thought about his heritage, about his family.He: אבל אתגר חדש צץ – איך לשלב את הידיעה בהמשכיות המסורתית?En: But a new challenge arose – how to integrate the knowledge into the traditional continuity?He: בערב, כאשר כל משפחתו ישבה מסביב לשולחן, אורן הרים כוס להשלים את החג.En: In the evening, when his entire family sat around the table, Oren raised a glass to complete the festival.He: "למרות סודות העבר," הוא אמר, חיוך רך על שפתיו, "המשפחה היא באחדותה.En: "Despite secrets of the past," he said, a soft smile on his lips, "the family is in its unity.He: אנחנו נולדים יחד לא רק במצוות אלא גם בתובנות".En: We are born together not only in commandments but in insights as well."He: ההכרה שלו פעלה כמו גשר.En: His recognition acted as a bridge.He: החום חזר לשולחן, דבק ואהבה זרמו.En: Warmth returned to the table, bonding and love flowed.He: הסוד הפך לא חלק מההפרדה, אלא מנוע ההתפתחות החדשה.En: The secret turned out not to be a part of the separation but a catalyst for new growth.He: בסיום הארוחה, השמיים נצנצו בכוכבים, והמשפחה התמלאה בתחושה חדשה של קירבה.En: At the end of the meal, the sky sparkled with stars, and the family was filled with a new sense of closeness.He: אורן הבין.En: Oren understood.He: להכיר את האמת לצד המסורת זה לא סותר.En: To know the truth alongside tradition is not contradictory.He: זה מחבר, מעצים.En: It connects and empowers.He: לסיום הערב, מחובקים, הם שרו יחד את שירי הפסח.En: To conclude the evening, embracing each other, they sang Passover songs together.He: המסורות התחזקו, השקט התחלף בצחוק, ואורן, מביט בבנו, ידע שיצר את הזיכרון של הדור הבא.En: The traditions grew stronger, the silence turned to laughter, and Oren, looking at his son, knew he had created a memory for the next generation.

"I didn't even know these contracts were negotiable." When Jen moved her Mom into memory care, she did what most of us do: she treated the stack of paperwork like a standard formality. In the middle of a family crisis, we often sign on the dotted line just to get our loved ones settled, not realizing the massive implications for their rights, their safety, and our own financial health. To help us move from "just signing" to actually advocating, Jen is joined by Uri Nve, an expert in elder justice. Following up on his critical episode regarding elder abuse, Uri returns to pull back the curtain on the "standard" care home contract. In this episode, we decode: The "Arbitration Trap": Why facilities want you to waive your right to a jury trial and why you should almost always say no. Red Flag Clauses: How to identify—and strike—waivers of liability that attempt to protect the facility at the expense of your loved one. The "Responsible Party" Myth: Critical advice on how to sign paperwork so you don't inadvertently become a personal financial guarantor for the bill. The Power of Planning: Why the best time to negotiate is long before the "move-in day" crisis hits. Home Care vs. Residential Care: Understanding the different levels of regulation and what you can (and should) demand from agencies. We often make these choices during the hardest days of our lives. This conversation is designed to give you the tools to protect your family before the first box is even unpacked. Our Guest: Uri Niv Uri H. Niv is a trial attorney specializing in elder abuse cases, advocating for victims and their families. His extensive legal background includes working at a large law firm, as well as serving as a prosecutor for violent felony cases. This diverse experience allows him to fiercely champion the rights of those affected by elder abuse. Uri is deeply committed to community service, actively working to combat homelessness in Los Angeles. He is dedicated to helping vulnerable individuals and families, ensuring they receive the justice and support they deserve. Contact Uri Here GET THE CHECKLIST: Don't go into the meeting empty-handed.

From the horrors of October 7th to ongoing missile attacks, Uri brings listeners into the real-time tension of responding to crisis while under threat. But beneath the chaos is something deeper.

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Uri Alon, Professor at Weizmann Institute of Science. They explore a systems view of aging that treats longevity as a solvable model, not a grab bag of disconnected theories.Uri explains aging with a simple story: houses make garbage, trucks remove it, and the village has a threshold for how much damage it can handle. In the body, “garbage” can include damaged and senescent cells, “trucks” can include immune cleanup, and “houses” can include long-lived cells and stem cells that drift over time. The model links this balance to death, disease, and steady decline, and it helps predict which interventions actually change it.They also revisit the role of genes. Uri argues that lifespan looks closer to 50% heritable today after correcting for early, non-aging deaths in older datasets. The rest comes from the environment and biological noise, which regular sleep may help reduce.Guest-at-a-Glance

One of my favorite Bible trivia questions is, “Who was the first person mentioned in scripture who was filled with the Holy Spirit?” Most people assume that it's Abraham or Moses. Instead, in Exodus 35:30, we learn, “See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, ...
