Readers of TraditionOnline.org have been following our week-long series COVID+5,where we've been exploring the lasting impact of the pandemic on Jewish education, communal life, and spirituality. Through the insights and reflections of a diverse group of authors we've considered how COVID reshaped our synagogues, our communal celebrations, our Yeshiva high school and elementary schools, and our relationship with God and each other. In this episode of our podcast, the guest editor of that series, R. Yehuda Halpert, conducts a reflective conversation on the changes that have occurred in this past half-decade in our religious and educational institutions, communal trust, as well as the emotional and spiritual struggles experienced by individuals during the pandemic. He talks with the six authors in the series, all of whom draw on their experiences as mental health professionals, educators, administrators, and spiritual leaders to look back on the Spring of 2020, and to consider where we're holding now. Read the series introduction and all the columns here. In the first segment of this episode we hear from Gila Muskin Block, executive director and co-founder Yesh Tikva, an organization dedicated to working with couples navigating the challenges of infertility, and Dr. Carl Hochhauser a pediatric psychologist who is also on the counselling and teaching staff at Yeshivat HaKotel. Together they focus on the emotional and spiritual struggles experienced by individuals during the pandemic. The episode then transitions from the individual to the communal, focusing on our schools, synagogues, and the broader Jewish community, as we're joined by Rabbis Josh Kahn (Torah Academy of Bergen County), Daniel Korobkin (BAYT, Toronto), Leonard Matanky (Congregation K.I.N.S. of West Rogers Park, and Dean of Ida Crown Jewish Academy) and Larry Rothwachs (Beth Aaron, Teaneck). The participants revisit aspects of the COVID pandemic and its post-pandemic consequences all the while challenging and sharpening each other's formulations and conclusions. Watch a video recording of the conversations. TRADITION thanks Yehuda Halpert for initiating this project. Explore more on these themes in his recent book, Speaking to an Empty Shul: Timeless Lessons from Unprecedented Times, a rabbinic diary describing his time leading Cong. Ahavat Shalom in Teaneck throughout the pandemic years.

The intersection between business and Judaism raises intriguing questions about the compatibility of religious values with profit-driven endeavors. Explore how Judaism's emphasis on social justice, ethical conduct, and communal responsibility can guide entrepreneurs and business leaders in navigating ethical challenges and cultivating integrity in the competitive world of capitalism. Discover the potential harmony or tension that arises when business and Judaism converge. Chaz Volk, the charismatic host of Bad Jew, engages in thought-provoking conversations about the role of Judaism in business with Rabbi Baruch Tuman. Tuman founded Raise Your Bar, which is known for emphasizing the importance of consistency, transparency, and spirituality in the corporate world. Delve into how Tuman integrates his Jewish values, champions honesty, and authenticity, and fosters trust among his team, clients, and partners. Uncover the spiritual dimension of business as Tuman infuses his work with a higher purpose, elevating his business practices to create a profound impact. About Rabbi Baruch Tuman: Baruch was born and raised in Arroyo Grande, California (the Central Coast). After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in political science, he made his way to Israel to seek a greater understanding of his Jewish heritage. He remained in Israel for nine years and, while there, received his rabbinic ordination from Rabbi Yitzchak Berkovits. From 2013 to 2016, Baruch worked as a rabbi/educator on the DePaul, UIC, and Loyola campuses in Chicago. For the past seven years, he has been serving as an educator and teacher for Jewish professionals and adults with the Ember Foundation & TORAHUB. He primarily meets people for one-on-one sessions in their offices or nearby coffee shops and he has monthly and bi-monthly group classes. Many classes are held online. Baruch has a passion for teaching and giving all Jewish people a license to better understand their own heritage. He believes wholeheartedly that apathy toward Judaism is rooted in Jewish illiteracy. Baruch would assert that knowledge is so much more than just power. Jewish youth have opportunities to engage and learn about Judaism and Baruch strives to give Jews of all ages similar learning opportunities, regardless of background and observance level.  In addition to his non-profit work, Baruch started Raise Your Bar LLC to help business owners and entrepreneurs grow their company revenue and profits by providing business coaching. He uses proprietary applications, Profit Acceleration Software™, vetted and used by thousands of small to midsize businesses to enhance their bottom line. Baruch loves coaching people in their businesses which inevitably allows him to discuss and help in other life areas such as marriage, dating, child-rearing, interpersonal interactions, life purpose/meaning, etc.  Baruch currently lives in West Rogers Park, Chicago with his lovely wife, Judith, and their four delicious children.  Contact Rabbi Baruch Tuman here: baruchtuman@torahub.org www.torahub.org baruch@raiseyourbar.live www.raiseyourbar.live www.linkedin.com/in/baruchtuman Connect with Bad Jew: Join our online community HERE: https://linktr.ee/badjew BadJewPod@gmail.com Ig @BadJewPod TikTok @BadJewPod

Summer expands into South Illinois next week as Spring warmth overtakes even West Rogers Park on May 9th

Summer expands into South Illinois next week as Spring warmth overtakes even West Rogers Park on May 9th

https://docs.google.com/docume... Unknown 0:00 A historical Arctic outbreak over the Gulf Coast from two years ago. 2021 there is a one minute introduction and then the podcast. The following podcast was given February 14, the year was 2021. It was right before the 18th and snowstorm that hit West Rogers Park 10 inches at O'Hare Airport. More importantly, this is right was given during the Arctic outbreak over one of the coldest Arctic outbreak over Texas winter storm across the Gulf Coast. Every county in Texas was under a winter storm warning. This podcast is hard to find. It's a rarity. It happened to have become popular on YouTube. So I've placed it onto here. I hope everybody enjoys. There's an enormous amount of other very interesting facts that take place throughout this podcast, including fascinating stuff going on in Africa in Mexico and throughout the rest of the world. Unknown 1:13 strong storm system of 29.5 inches located over in the southern Missouri area. Moving across southern Illinois is producing a major winter storm across parts of Texas and even Arkansas, Louisiana. These are states going all the way down to the Gulf Coast. Some of these areas have not seen winter storm warnings for years Brownsville Texas is under a winter storm warning Believe it or not. That's really amazing. It's the first time in 10 years. Some of these places in Texas are seeing the coldest temperatures since 1989. And some of them are seeing the coldest temperatures in over 100 years. Oklahoma temperatures dropping under 10 below. Very, very cold air arctic air making it all the way down to Houston, Texas, the temperatures dropped down to 12 degrees. By Tuesday morning and Houston, Texas that's super cold temperatures going down into the 20s in New Orleans. But the main story for tonight is the snow storm and the ice storm freezing rain, sleet and snow throughout probably the entire state of Louisiana. And throughout Texas freezing precipitation is even expected all the way down into Brownsville, Texas. Some of those places which were in the mid 90s, just a week ago or two weeks ago, are now going to be getting freezing precipitation. It's quite an amazing today's high temperature. This is totally remarkable. High temperature today was 94 degrees in three different cities in Georgia. Now the National Weather Service says the high was 90 in a place in Florida. But there are actually three different cities in Georgia that hit 94 degrees. These are cities which were which are ahead of the storm system, and they are under south winds. Another thing to keep in mind is that we're already in mid February. That means we're about seven weeks off of the Winter Solstice. So the ultraviolet index in the sun is really heating up right now. In fact here in Chicago in January, the highest they can ever get to is a one. But now it's already at a three and a three you could already get suntan and stuff like that. So by the end of this week, when the warmer temperatures come in which by the way, we are getting warmer temperatures here in Chicago and we're even going to get some sunshine. The forecast ultraviolet index here in Chicago is actually going to be a three and many people could get a suntan when the ultraviolet index is at that level. In any case, the rest of the country we have winter storm warnings all over the place. Really all over the place. storm track has gone a little bit further Northwest than originally thought yesterday. The storm is also stronger than we then what was originally thought yesterday. Therefore Chicago has been placed in a winter storm warning eight to 12 inches of snow. Luckily Alma, I believe everyone agrees to this. Eight to 12 inches of snow higher amounts are also possible. And here's the deal. The Chicago area is about to get snow with with a snow to water ratio of 20 to one or as the Northern Indiana National Weather Service puts it anywhere between 18 to 22. To one we don't get snow like that very often. I think we haven't getting snow like that over the past week. It's super powdery stuff. About two tenths to four tenths of snow of water equivalent is what's expected in places like in northern Indiana, that would bring snow totals up between four and eight inches here in Chicago. They are expecting a heavy Lake ABand Lake pant. What is it? A lakes heavy Band of Lake snow to set up right across the city of Chicago. It's going to start off in Northwest Indiana tonight. But it's gradually going to move west. Sometimes those things do that. They move west and it's actually going to set up right over the Chicago area. And if that does, those things are not always so predictable. But, or at least their predictions are not always so accurate. But you have to realize we have extremely cold air going over the waters of Lake Michigan. So whatever does happen, the snow is going to be heavy, really heavy. If there should be a band of Lake effect snow that sets up over our area, you could expect have the lake effect snow, probably tomorrow morning six or 7am. There also might be another band of heavy snow moving in tomorrow evening. It could be that some of the precipitation may stop during the day tomorrow, total storm accumulations again between now and Tuesday morning, eight to 12 inches, but some areas will be getting higher amounts. And the reason why the amounts are so high is two reasons. It's number one, the snow to water ratio is very, very high. So this stuff piles up real quick. Some areas like beginning snowfall rates of one to two inches in our number two, it's the lake effect. The actual storm is for the most part, it stinks south of us, the higher the highest amounts of 812 inches are basically in central Illinois. And they kind of go down and then it goes back up towards 12 inches here in the Chicago area. We're gonna see lots of wind. By the way, there's a blizzard warning, which is in effect for Texas right now, areas in Texas are under a blizzard warning. It's the only place in the country, which has a blizzard warning right now, with the most dangerous warnings right now in effect, they're probably the air quality alert, which continues to be in effect for Fairbanks, Alaska. And the avalanche warning, which is in effect for several areas in Utah. At least it's that National Weather Service. That's the Salt Lake City National Weather Service that is reporting these avalanche warnings, they don't make the avalanche warnings. It's some other organization that does that. But they are reporting it. Now here, I would say the two most remarkable things of the weather today and yesterday. Number one, I mentioned 94 degrees in three different cities in Georgia. It's mid 90s. And we're holding in the month of mid February. And you know what? If it's going to be in the mid 90s? They need a round of applause Unknown 7:22 and a chair. Okay, so it's mid 90s. In those three cities, Texas, I don't know what to do about that. The whole state is under a winter storm warning does is that a round of applause because they're scared. I'm sure they're scared. But a lot of people are probably really happy because they don't really get to see snow so much. But this year, they have been getting a lot of snow over there. So we're not going to do a round of applause for them. But in any case, out on the West Coast, we have serious heat that's going to be starting to build throughout this week. By the end of the week, temperatures are going into the low 90s in Palm Springs, California. Now, there's also by the way, another storm system. This one's actually stronger and deeper, which will be developing in the middle part of this week. I don't know if it's going to be hitting Chicago or not. It probably won't. Or if it does probably just the northern edge. That's what I think. But in any case, that storm system is going to be intensifying to a barometric pressure of 29.3. The chances are the majority of the energy of that storm is going to be taking shape on the east coast. It's going to ship it's going to shift over to the east coast from the Louisiana area. I think what is important to do, I don't know if it's important or not, but we have let me get it right here. I have there's some cities here, which there's some remarkable stuff. Okay. The cities Whitesburg, Georgia, the high temperature today was 94 degrees. Tonight it's going down to 43. The high tomorrow 49 degrees. So today's high was 94. Tomorrow's 49. Tomorrow night going down to 30 degrees. And then Tuesday night going down to 25 degrees. Temperatures back into the mid 60s. By a week by next Tuesday a week. Next week. Okay, that's Whitesburg, Georgia, the 94 degrees is what's most remarkable. I would be very curious to see if they had humidity over there because Georgia usually gets humidity but I wonder like how can you hit 94 With humidity this time of the year? Well, you never know. Okay, now. We're going to quickly mention Wolfsburg, Germany, nothing that amazing but in Wolfsburg, Germany. They're also getting snow. I don't know how much but the snow it looks like we'll be changing over to rain. The low this morning was 11 degrees. Temperatures are going to become much warmer as the week goes on temperatures rising into the mid 50s. And that's nothing really that remarkable some of the hotspots in India is starting to get hot again in in ahamed a bad med the bad India, temperatures going up to 96 degrees by next week. Compare that to Aurora Illinois, where tempera

Casi las tres cuartas partes de los casos de coronavirus en Chicago han sido entre afroamericanos y latinos, con el West Side de la ciudad particularmente afectado, de acuerdo con los datos revelados por la ciudad sobre el brote, especificado por edad, raza, vecindario y condición subyacente. El 40 por ciento de las infecciones por COVID-19 se encuentran entre las personas de raza negra y el 32 % entre los latinos. El mayor número de enfermos por coronavirus se han registrado en el oeste de la ciudad, el vecindario de West Rogers Park y, en menor medida, los lados sur y suroeste, precisa la información del Departamento de Salud Pública de Chicago. La tasa de mortalidad entre los afroamericanos de Chicago hasta el 29 de abril fue tres veces mayor que la de los blancos, mientras que los latinos los seguían en número pero más cerca de los blancos. La ciudad Chicago representa alrededor del 40 por ciento de los casos confirmados de Coronavirus en todo el estado, precisan los datos abiertos para la consulta pública. Más de la mitad de los resultados positivos de las pruebas se ubican en residentes de edades entre los 30 y 60 años, sin embargo, las muertes se concentran entre los mayores de 60 años, y el 92.6 por ciento de los que mueren poseen una condición médica preexistente. Los grupos de edad de 40 a 59 años han sido los más afectados en la categoría de casos comprobados de infección, seguidos de los grupos de 30 a 39 y en tercer sitio los de 60 a 69, y más bajo entre los mayores de 70 años. Sin embargo, en el caso de las muertes por coronavirus en Chicago, el mayor número han sido residentes con más de 70 años de edad, el 58.9 por ciento del total, seguido del grupo de 60 a 69 años, con el 19.6 por ciento de muertos. Las cifras publicadas indican que el COVID-19 está golpeando algunas partes de Chicago mucho más fuerte que otras. Sin embargo, si bien el número total de casos se duplicó cada cuatro días después de la orden de quedarse en casa que el gobernador J.B. Pritzker emitió por primera vez, la tasa a la cual las muertes se duplican actualmente es un poco más lenta que la tasa de casos confirmados, los cuales se duplican cada 16 días.

I interviewed Rudy Gomez in July of 2015. Rudy has been living in Chicago his whole life and in his West Rogers Park home for 20 years. He shares the home with his parents, he currently rents the basement apartment. Rudy says the one thing he would change about the neighborhood is a recent increase in gang activity, but what he loves is he great diversity in the ethnic backgrounds of the people who live on his street.When I was driving down the street on the way to Rudy’s house, I must confess that when I spotted a vibrantly blue stucco home with a meticulously maintained front yard, I thought, “I hope that’s the one,” and it was indeed Rudy’s home. The blue is distinct and Rudy said that he is reminded of home when he sees that shade in the blue when he is away from home.The backyard is a place where his family gathers to socialize and also a place that Rudy goes when he’s having a bad day. I made a painting of Rudy’s backyard because it feels like the heart of this home. On the Saturday morning that I visited members of his extended family had already begun to assemble on the back patio. The patch of grass and flower bed at the back of the yard are carefully tended to and it feels very much like a place that has hosted many celebrations. And, as Rudy described, it’s a place of respite on a bad day.Special thanks to Stefano Vita for use of his music in the audio recording.
