Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 9 minutesSynopsis: This evening (5/13/26), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we began our analysis of the Shir shel Yom of Shabbos. I gave shiur on this a long time ago (November 2020), but since we've been learning through all the "Kabbalas Shabbos" perakim, and this is the centerpiece, we had to take it up once again! Tonight, we translated the perek, raised a ton of questions, and came up with our own approaches. I shared my own approach, inspired by advice from my rebbi, Rabbi Moskowitz zt"l, and by a passage in the Kuzari. Next time (the week after Shavuos, בג"ה), we'll take up one of the meforshim.-----מקורות:תהלים צבמצודת ציוןתרגום כתוביםרבינו יונה - אבות ב:המצודת דוד - תהלים צ:ארמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות תשובה ח:בר' יהודה הלוי - כוזרי ג:יא-----The Torah content for the month of Iyyar is sponsored by Naomi Schwartz Rothschild in memory of her mother, Breindel Bracha bas Mordechai z"l, whose yahrzeit falls on the 8th of Iyyar.

Brian Priebe | Executive Pastor | May 10, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Acts 17:16-27Reflection Questions:1. What's one thing that stood out to you from the sermon and why? 2. How would you describe your relationship with science? 3. What are Biblical examples of how science and faith can come into contact? 4. One of Brian's main points was that believers need to use the right tools for the right tasks as we share our faith. What examples of this do you see throughout the Bible or even just in regular life? 5. Brian's focal point was that science best answers questions related to HOW the natural world works and faith best answers questions related to WHY the natural world is. Do you agree or disagree? Why? 6. Read Acts 17:16-27 What elements of Paul's interactions with the Athenians offer clues to how we might engage people that have a science bend? 7. What would the church look like if everyone took Paul's cues in interacting with people outside the faith, especially those where science is most influential? 8. What are your thoughts around Genesis 1 and the definition of a day? 9. Brian cited the use of Yom as the Hebrew word for day in Genesis 1 as also being the same word describing various periods of time. He referenced Genesis 2:2, 4:3, 43:9 and 44:32. What do you think about the various uses of Yom in Genesis? 10. What might be a next step for you related to the interaction of science and faith and the people in your sphere? What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Yom ha-Atzmaut is in the air: circle dancing, falafels, inexplicable inflatable squeaky plastic hammers and, of course, Israeli flags galore. But this year's Israeli Independence Day may be the final time the old kachol v'lavan is hoisted up the flagpole in front of Toronto's City Hall. Ceremonial flag raising began as a way for public institutions to spotlight local communities' heritages and celebrate the bonds of friendship between nations. But, like all good things, it didn't last. For years, the questions of which local politicians did or did not show up to which particular flag raising grew into a perpetual fuel for outrage, purity tests and catalyst for demonstrations. Then, last November, Jewish organizations and activists across Canada strenuously campaigned and mounted legal challenges against municipalities raising the Palestinian flag in the wake of recognition of the state by the federal government. Now, municipalities are throwing up their hands. Calgary and Toronto have both passed legislation ending all ceremonial flag raising; no Palestine, no Israel, no Brazil, no one. This week on Not in Heaven, our rabbi podcasters ask: Should this be seen as a win? Was it worth it? What do we get when public institutions celebrate our particular nationalities, and is it worth the trouble?

Transcript (Transcribed by TurboScribe) As you saw, we’re starting a new series next week, Sun Prayer, a short series of four, looking really forward to that. And at the end of the service, I’m going to ask you after the benediction to sit, the song that you heard a little piece of this morning, it’s an AI song, and I heard this and it’s so beautiful. So I went to Carrie and I said, can we do this as the song for the whole series? She said, sure, but it has no music. And we can’t find any music for that. So our music team sat down and they produced that music and all of that to go with that. And they’re going to do that song for us this morning as our postlude. And I want you to hear that because with God’s grace, we’re going to sing that every week for four weeks after the sermon saying, Lord, I want to pray. When you hear me, I’m going to pray. When I think you don’t hear me, I’m going to pray. When times are good, I’m going to pray. When times are not good, I’m going to pray. Still, I will pray, is the name of the song. We’re going to do that. So thank you to the praise team for all the work that they put into that. It’s wonderful to have people that’ll just say, yeah, I’m going to do that. Bless you. Thank you for your word that guides us. Thank you for your word that feeds us. Thank you for the word that just paints this beautiful picture, Lord, of who you are. Help us in this morning again, that as we read and as we try and speak, that we may see Jesus, the love of Jesus. In your name we pray. Amen. Now, scripture reading this morning comes from the book of Hebrews, chapter four. We’re going to read verses 14 to 16, and then we’re going to go to chapter 10 and read verses 19 to 25. And I’m reading from the NIV today. Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus, son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathise with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. And then we go to chapter 10. Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the most holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and a living way opened for us through the curtain that is his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings. Having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water, let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together as some are in the habit, I think they missed the word there, bad habit of doing, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the day approaching. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence to receive mercy and to find grace to help us in our time of need. Go underline that verse in your Bible and read it every day. It is one of the most beautiful promises that God makes, one of the most beautiful invitations that God gives in his word. Let us approach this throne of grace with confidence so that what can happen, we may receive mercy and find God’s grace to help us in our time of need. That word time of need in the Greek is one word. It’s a beautiful word. It’s the word eukairon. You’ve heard the word kairos before, the kairos documents. Remember it was a big deal at some state. The word kairos in Greek means a defining moment. Let’s go to God’s throne in all of the defining moments of our lives, those moments that will change our lives, those moments in which we stand before God saying, help me or God rejoice with me or be with me. But then it starts with the most beautiful word of all of those words. Let’s go to God’s throne of grace with confidence. Greek word and Central knows by now when I retire they will all be fluent in Greek and Hebrew. Greek word for confidence is the word paresia. Paresia means boldness, frankness, confidence. It comes, it’s a technical term that comes from the old Greek city states. Paresia meant that if you were a citizen and you had citizenship of that city state, you had the right to speak in the assembly and that right was called paresia. You could stand up and you could speak and if we put it in today’s words, you could make motions and you could vote on the motions as well because you had paresia, you had confidence. It was your right to do that. That’s the objective side but there’s a subjective side on this too. It only became your right in that moment when you stood up and you spoke and you used that. Can you hear the words? Since we have paresia, that’s what chapter 10 said, that’s why I took you there. Since we have verse 19, this confidence, then what should we do? Verse 22, let us then draw near to God. It’s given. We have the right. You’re citizens of God’s kingdom. You’re children of the most wonderful father in the whole wide world. The king of the universe is yours and he said here’s the right that I give you. Will you please use that and walk into my holy presence? Can we talk about that for a second? How we do that, when we do that, do we do that? But I want to start in the old testament and this is where I’m going to need you Alexander because I was told you do not touch that yoke. Jay will come and he will, I don’t know where Jay is sitting this morning, maybe he wouldn’t. He’s my doc. He would come give me a hard time because my back should not be lifting this. Come on up Alexander. You got to do the high lifting here. Don’t lift it up yet. You can just hold it kind of up straight if you can get it out there. But I take you to the book of Leviticus. I’m going to read one verse and I know you do not read one verse because there’s a context. So I’ll give you the context. Context comes from chapter 26. God brought them into the promised land and now God says to them because you’re obedient I’m going to reward you. I’ll make it rain. I’ll take care of your crops. I’ll give you cattle and I’ll give you sheep. If you keep the Sabbaths I will bless you in so much abundance because you are obedient. And then God says here’s the reason why I want to do this. I’m the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be their slaves. I broke the yoke of slavery from your neck so that you can walk with your heads held high. I wanted to show you a yoke because most of you I don’t think have even seen a yoke. If you’re younger you don’t even know what that is. You think it’s a thing that comes in an egg. This is a yoke. This is one that you put on cattle. This was actually one that my wife’s father used on his farm with the cattle. They go on your neck and you can imagine if you put this thing on your neck. No don’t do that. You’re going to put that on your neck. This is what it does. Thank you Alexander. You can not put it on my neck. You can put it down. Thank you. I want you to just keep that image for a moment and see what God says. He says when you were in Egypt you were slaves. They did not necessarily bear a yoke like that but they bore the yoke of being slaves. You were not allowed to look up and look people in the eye. You had no rights. They bore the heavy burdens every day as they were building those two cities. They would carry that on their backs and your head is always down. You have no rights. You have nothing to say. God says when I brought you out, I took that yoke off your back. I took it off your neck so that you may walk with your head held high. We may approach the throne of grace with confidence, with our heads held high because the yoke and the burden of sin has been lifted off. We may walk into that room, that throne room of our heavenly Father and we may look our Father in the eye and say, Lord, I need you every moment of my life. I need you. You’re my one defence. You’re my righteousness. Oh, you may be bold and say, I can walk in there and I can say, Father, Father, can you just take my hand, please? It’s a little tough right now. I can’t do this alone. I need you to walk with me, not just a mile. I need a few more miles than that and maybe, Father, if you don’t mind, can you just carry me for a while? I can walk in there. Like Romans says, then the Holy Spirit can call out in me, Romans 8, Father, I love you and I know exactly that’s who you is because it is a throne of grace where I can find peace, mercy, and grace for my times of need. Why can I do that? Why can I do that? Verse 14, 15 gives the answer. He says, because we have a grand new high priest right there in heaven, not one who was distant from us on this earth because you looked at him and he was all gowned and robed and all kinds of stuff around him and he was holier than thou. We have a high priest in heaven who was just like us, who walked this earth with his own feet, who felt the hurt of his own people turning their backs on him, who felt his friends betray him, who would hear people yell crucify, who would know what it meant to have no house to sleep but always with a friend sleeping on the couch, who would know the burden of carrying the yoke of all I’ve ever seen, who would know the burden of being nailed to a cross and not having a moment that he could walk into that throne room because Father had to turn his back and close his ears when his son cried. My God, we have a high priest that understands us and when I walk into that throne room and I can bring myself, he gets it. He gets me in all of my goodness, in all of my struggles, in all of my needs, in my yukairon moments, my moments of need where I stand before you. I don’t know where you are in your life and maybe you’re full of joy. Here’s the cool thing, you can go right into that throne room and go spring jump and dance and sing with him because he wants to do that with you. Maybe you’re in the struggle time if I think of Lorna and I think of Alan Goberdan as they had to go down to New Jersey to go bury a brother and a mother. In that moment they could walk right in that throne room and Father God would understand and he would hold them to his heart because that high priest when they walked in there would say, Father, this is Lorna and Alan. Right now, Father, we need you so bad. You can go to him because you have paresia, confidence, bought in the blood of Jesus Christ. But here’s the coolest thing of all of this. If I take you back to the Old Testament again, remember in the Old Testament the high priest and only the high priest could go into the Holy of Holies. Remember the temple was built where they would sacrifice and then they had the holy place and then they had the most holy place and then the most holy place was behind this curtain and there was the Ark of the Covenant. Had Aaron’s staff and there it had the tablets that were broken and the new tablets and there it had the manna in there to remind them of what God did in the wilderness but also to remind God of how they rebelled against God was in there. On that was the cherubim that was the seat where God would sit and would look down on all of this. Once a year, Leviticus 16 on Yom Kippur, Yom in Hebrew day, Kippur, atonement. On the day of atonement the high priest could go behind that curtain. He alone, after he was cleansed and brought sacrifices for his own sin, could go in there with blood and he would sprinkle that blood on the Ark of the Covenant. The cover of the Ark of the Covenant is called Kippuret, Yom Kippuret, the atonement seat and he would make atonement for the sins of the people. It was such a holy place that he alone could go in once a year but if he did something wrong he would die because you were not supposed to see God. So they put a rope around his ankle that if he died in there they couldn’t go in. They could just pull him out. It is the cool thing about that, says Hebrews. There was a Friday there in the afternoon and on a Friday the world became really, really dark. There was a man on a cross and his name was Jesus. In that moment when he died and he took that burden upon himself, that curtain that stood between us and God, fell away. And in that moment through the blood of the Son, he opened a new path right into the throne of God. And you and I may walk right into that throne room. There is no more curtain. You can walk right up to your Father. And when I walk in there, Jesus stands there smiling and he says, Father, it’s Aubrey again. Boy, this guy can never stop. Gotta tell you about him a little bit, Father. He’s giving me a run for my money. He’s, he messes up so often. He’s with his face in the mud and I have to pick him up and I have to cleanse him again. But I know he loves us, Father God. So I walk with him. Boy, does he give the Holy Spirit, you know, because Holy Spirit that’s his job, isn’t it? To walk right beside and to help. Man, does the Holy Spirit have to walk with him all the time to keep him on the right path and to help him? So Father, I’m so glad that he’s here. And Father smiles when he sees me. And Father says, what can I do? And I can just open my heart and I can speak because here’s the thing. Despite the fact that I mess up so often, despite the fact that I hurt him so often because of the stuff that happens in my life, when I walk into that throne room, my Father does not do this. Sorry, I never point fingers at you, do you know that? Feels horrible. My Father never does that because that was taken care of that Friday on a cross. All of the judgement was taken care of. All of that slavery was taken care of. My Father tells me to lift up my head and look him in the eyes and see his face. Despite of who I am, but because of who he is and what he has given me. Because I am his child and I have been made free and I have been washed in the blood of Jesus Christ. That same blood that this morning said to little Colby, little girl, here’s my sign and my seal. I’m washing you and you, little girl, can walk right into my throne room anytime you need me because I am your Father and you are my child. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Thinking, not a person yet. We are allowed to walk into the presence of our God with confidence to receive what? Mercy and grace. You know what grace is? God’s free gift. For it is by grace that we have been saved through our faith. That faith says Hebrews 10 that is washed in the blood of Jesus Christ and says come walk in. It’s kind of like this little boy that sat with me this morning this week. It was a tough week and one evening I was sitting reading and he came up to me and he said, hey Opa, can I sit on your lap for a little while? I said sure buddy boy. He jumped on my lap and he put his little head against my chest and I just held him. Didn’t say a word. He just sat. His ear was right on my heartbeat. I’m sure he heard me. Sat for about 3-4 minutes and looked up. He said, thank you Opa. I think I’m okay now. He got up and went and played. Since we have confidence, let us then draw near to God. You need to sit on his lap for a while. He’s okay with that. You need to cry with him a little bit. He’s okay with that. Bette Midler got it wrong. Remember she sang a song, God is watching us from a distance. Nah, not true. God opened his throne and he said, my son did this for you. Come on in. He’s not in the distance. He’s right with you. Everything is fine. It’s up to us to be the walking voice, to walk in with confidence and to receive the gifts that God has for us. May you walk with your head held high and not with one of those yearnings because it’s taken away. Walk, Opa. Let God speak. Amen. Take a few moments of silent prayer. Lord Jesus, thank you for going to the cross. Thank you for taking all of our sin, bearing that and then washing our sin with blood. It has fallen right so beautifully in Colossians and then when you did that there on the cross and you washed, you took it away forever and you never seem to do it again. Help us then not to make ourselves slaves again, but to walk freely. Thank you that every day we may ask that you will walk with us through your spirit. But Lord, on our own we can’t do this. Every moment, every hour of our lives, we need you. We need you to walk. We need you to talk. We need you to evolve us. Thank you for reminding us of who we are, the children of the most high and holy. You’re amazing and we love you with all that is in us. In this we pray in the amazing name of Jesus, our great High Priest. Amen.

In his new book, Out of the Sky: Heroism and Rebirth in Nazi Europe, Matti Friedman sets out to uncover the short life of Holocaust heroine Hannah Senesh and several of her comrades. It is the second book of late to revisit the story of the Hungarian-born Zionist who became a British-trained parachutist sent from Mandatory Palestine into Nazi-occupied Europe. Friedman argues that after Senesh's capture and execution in 1944, the young State of Israel helped shape her into a national icon because of a broader need for stories of heroism to inspire the next generation. His book is dedicated to the memories of two modern-day symbols of Jewish bravery after Oct. 7 whom Friedman knew personally: slain hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, the young Nova Festival captive and Yuval Shoham, his friend who was an IDF tank corpsman and went searching for Hersh while on duty in Gaza before he, too, lost his life. The book arrives ahead of Yom ha-Shoah, Yom ha-Zikaron—the memorial day for Israel's war dead including victims of terrorism, which begins tonight—and Yom ha-Atzmaut, Israel's Independence Day, which falls the day after. On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, host Ellin Bessner speaks with Matti Friedman about why, tragically, heroism is still being asked of the descendants of Senesh's generation.

Forgiveness is often framed as a moral ideal. But what happens when the wound is still open? In his new book The Forgiveness Experiment, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath of Montreal makes the case that forgiveness is a form of self-liberation, not a gift to those who caused you harm. After Yom ha-Shoah but ahead of Yom ha-Zikaron on Monday April 20, that idea collides with a painful reality: for many Jews, October 7 is not history: it is still happening. As is the war with Iran and Hezbollah. Among the 30,000 soldiers and victims of terror being remembered is the name of Yotam Haim. The kidnapped Israeli hostage managed to escape his captors in Gaza but then was mistakenly killed by the IDF. His family has publicly forgiven the troops involved. That story of grace despite horrific pain is part of Rabbi Bernath's new book. Bernath is a relationship expert, leader with the Chabad community in N.D.G. and at Concordia University. He lays out his own personal path and tackles the question of how to move on from being a victim. On today's episode of The CJN's “North Star” podcast, Rabbi Bernath sits down with our producer Andrea Varsany to reveal how he did it.

Rabbi Bernath was one of The CJN's relationship columnists before the pandemic and now runs a Jewish matchmaking service.

Hvert år den 30. mars, markerer palestinere Landdagen, eller Yom al-Ard, som minner om hendelsene 30. mars 1976, der 6 palestinere ble drept og mer enn 100 skadet av israelske styrker under protester mot Israels konfiskering av palestinsk land. Vi er i Bergen og snakker med norsk-palestinske Mona Khateeb fra Palestinakomiteen i Bergen, om hennes families historie og tilknytning til landdagen.

Baco Music fête ses 15 ans. Depuis 2011, la structure montée par le groupe de reggae Danakil n'a cessé de se développer. D'abord label pour les sorties du groupe, Baco a ouvert son catalogue, est devenu producteur de spectacles, éditeur, distributeur et a ouvert il y a peu un studio à Bordeaux. Baco Music c'est l'histoire d'une entreprise qui se développe en-dehors de Paris et fait travailler en toute indépendance plus d'une trentaine de personnes. Alors que les multinationales du live resserrent leur emprise sur le marché français, voilà une histoire qui fait chaud au cœur et mérite d'être célébrée. Sur les différents catalogues on trouve crenoka et sa pop déviante et délicate qui sera au téléphone avec nous, mais aussi la machine de guerre Meule, le chanteur belge venu du rap, Peet qui sera à l'Olympia pour la première fois en novembre 2026, le duo modulaire Jasmine Not Jafar, et bien sûr des figures du reggae comme Max Romeo ou Groundation. Aujourd'hui, on souffle les 15 bougies de Baco Music sur la Tsugi Radio, et on le fait d'abord avec un sacré musicien, le clarinettiste Yom, qui livre sur son dernier album un œuvre totale aussi fascinante que mystérieuse, on écoute Exodus, extrait de Cosmogonia, le nouvel album de Yom.

Here's a playlist that follows a thread of rhythm, breath, and cross-cultural dialogue, bringing together composer-led projects that highlight the flute as a bridge between power and lyricism. From big band exuberance to intimate trio settings and a celebrated live document, the playlist moves through music that is vibrant, border-crossing, and deeply collaborative. It closes in a more contemplative space, where improvisation becomes a search for silence, resonance, and shared meaning. The playlist features Gareth Lockrane; Stéphane Galland, Lucia Pires, Louise van den Heuvel; Yilian Cañizares [pictured]; Al Foster; Yom x Ceccaldi. Detailed playlist at https://spinitron.com/RFB/pl/21962524/Mondo-Jazz [from "All the People" to "Sacred Lake"]. Happy listening!

On this week's episode of the podcast, Sean Yom of Temple University joins Marc Lynch to discuss his new book, Jordan: Politics in an Accidental Crucible. In the book, Yom provides a concise yet authoritative synthesis of the Hashemite Kingdom's development from its founding over a century ago to the present. He explores Jordan's government, society, economy, and foreign policy in a systematic manner, offering an immersive tour of this vital Arab country. Uniquely, he combines theoretical work from political science, sociology, and other scholarly fields with firsthand knowledge of Jordan garnered over decades of study. His insights show how Jordan's political experiences form a microcosm for understanding the entire Middle East. This year, in addition to the book conversations, POMEPS Director and podcast host Marc Lynch will be providing more context on the book itself or topics related to the book. Each week you'll hear about published academic research and other interesting material on the topic that Marc wants to share. You'll be able to find all of the citations and links at the end of the weekly podcast post. Music for this season's podcast was created by Feras Arrabi. You can find more of his work on his website Music and Sound at www.ferasarrabi.com. POMEPS, directed by Marc Lynch, is based at the Institute for Middle East Studies at the George Washington University and is supported by Carnegie Corporation of New York.

On this week's episode of the podcast, Steven Monroe of the National University of Singapore joins Marc Lynch to discuss his new book, Mirages of Reform: The Politics of Elite Protectionism in the Arab World.  Monroe uses the case of Jordan to discuss the broader failures of economic reform across the Middle East. He develops a theoretical framework focused on the ability of connected elites to shield themselves from the effects of reforms enacted on paper. The liner notes for this episode focus on the political economy side of the ledger. We already highlighted a wide range of books about Jordan in our recent episode on Sean Yom's Jordan: Politics in an Accidental Crucible.  Anyone interested in Monroe's topic should also read Yom's book, as well as Curtis Ryan's Jordan and the Arab Uprisings, Jillian Schwedler's Protesting Jordan, and Scott Williamson's The King Can Do No Wrong. On Jordanian/Palestinian identity politics, my book State Interests and Public Sphere: The International Politics of Jordan's Identity. On the failures of economic reform, Peter Moore's Doing Business in the Middle East is in many ways a direct ancestor of Mirages of Reform, and still highly relevant today.  The same is true for Melani Cammett's Globalization and Business Politics in the Middle East, Clement Henry and Robert Springborg's Globalization and the Politics of Development in the Middle East, and the authoritative textbook authored by Cammett and Ishac Diwan (taking over from Alan Roberts and John Waterbury for the fourth edition), A Political Economy of the Middle East.

Amr Adly's Cleft Capitalism traces similar dynamics in Egypt, while Steffen Hertog's Locked Out of Development: Insiders and Outsiders in Arab Capitalism, Robert Kubinek's Making Democracy Safe for Business, and Ferdinand Eibl's Social Dictatorships expand the scope to multiple countries.

Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 6 minutesSynopsis: This evening (12/10/25), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we (read: I) decided that we needed a break from the "Kabbalas Shabbos" series we've been learning. Since Chanukah is right around the corner, we took up the Shir shel Yom of Chanukah, which many people also recite every day. The translation took a bit more effort, so we didn't have a ton of time to develop our theories. Still, we had a nice start and there are already some interesting approaches brewing.-----מקורות:תהלים צחרמב"ם - פירוש המשניות, חגיגה ב:א-----This week's Torah content is sponsored by Rifka Kaplan-Peck in memory of her grandpa, Izrail Kaplan (a”h), who never forgot to look up above and appreciate another day.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.

Miriam Herschlag and Noah Efron talk about (1) the on-again-off-again fragility of the ceasefire, visiting death on both sides, and (2) whether or not Prime Minister Netanyahu's admirers have a point when they say that he steered us through the war just how he said he would, and managed to achieve things that matter. For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: This week we celebrated Yom ha-Oleh, the National Day of the Immigrant. Miriam and Noah talk about the ups and downs of making a life here, after growing up there. Plus, the life (and death) of the last living Nokem, or avenger, a tiny group that set out after the war to kill ex-Nazis in great numbers. And Miriam's mother-in-laws pow-wow with the President on her 90th birthday. And some remarkable new music.

This Freaky Friday, we explore the mind-bending belief that infinite realities already exist... and we're constantly surfing between them. From the theory of Reality Transurfing to the strange beauty of déjà vu, glitches, and timeline shifts, Raquelle unpacks how our thoughts and emotions might be the frequency dials of the universe. What if you're already living in the version of reality that matches your vibration?

Featuring reflections on YOM's birthstone, Opal, the luminous and much-loved Opalite, and the beauty of both natural and manmade magic.

Elana Arian, a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and prayer leader, is one of the most important voices in contemporary Jewish music. So when she emailed Judaism Unbound with an entire vision for a mini-series of episodes exploring Jewish music, we of course paid attention! She joins Dan Libenson and Lex Rofeberg for a conversation about what the phrase "Jewish music" means, what sacred music does to/for us, and the extent to which there even is a real boundary between "Jewish music" and music more generally. This episode is the first in an ongoing mini-series of Judaism Unbound episodes mobilizing Jewish music -- past, present, and future -- as a launching point into conversations about contemporary Jewish life and experience.Head to JudaismUnbound.com/classes to check out our up upcoming courses in the UnYeshiva.

durée : 00:59:01 - On vous emmène ! - par : Nathalie Piolé -

Du tonkori à la flûte traversière, un voyage intime entre l'archipel d'Hokkaidô et la France. Et la Syrie. Nous avons profité de la venue à Paris de l'artiste japonais OKI à la Maison de la Culture du Japon à Paris (MCJP) pour l'inviter dans la #SessionLive.  Le Japon n'est pas, comme on le croit souvent, une société composée d'un seul groupe ethnique. Dans le nord de l'archipel, en particulier à Hokkaidô, le peuple aïnou a su préserver sa langue, ses coutumes et sa culture, malgré les politiques d'assimilation et les discriminations. Aujourd'hui, la population aïnoue est estimée à quelques dizaines de milliers de personnes. La loi japonaise de 2019 reconnaissant les Aïnous en tant que peuple autochtone montre que leur situation évolue (MCJP). Oki & Rekpo biographie Depuis plus de 30 ans, OKI joue un rôle essentiel dans la renaissance de la musique aïnoue. Dans ses créations, il perpétue son héritage musical tout en y intégrant des éléments d'autres genres tels que le reggae, le blues ou encore le dub. C'est aussi en électrifiant le tonkori, un instrument à cordes traditionnel, qu'il a donné une dimension résolument contemporaine à cette musique ancestrale. Sa carrière internationale l'a mené en Europe, aux États-Unis et en Asie, dans des festivals aussi renommés que le Womad au Royaume-Uni. OKI a aussi produit des artistes aïnous comme la grande chanteuse Umeko Ando et le groupe vocal féminin Marewrew sur son label Chikar Studio. Sur scène et dans la #SessionLive, Oki se produit avec son épouse, la chanteuse Rekpo, son fils le batteur Manaw et le bassiste Takashi Nakajô (MCJP) Titres interprétés au grand studio - Topatttumi Live RFI - Iuta Upopo (Pestle Song) avec la voix de Umeko Ando - Hekuri Sarari Live RFI. Line Up : OKI (chant, tonkori, mukkuri), Rekpo (chant, tonkori, mukkuri), Manaw Kanô (batterie) et Takashi Nakajô (basse) + Aya SOEJIMA (conseillère artistique MCJP et traductrice). Son : Benoît Letirant, Jérémie Besset. ► Album Tonkori in the Moonlight (Mais Um 2022). YouTube - Facebook Bandcamp artistes aïnous 2022 (Five Ainu Artists Revitalizing Indigenous Japanese Music | Bandcamp Daily)    Puis nous recevons Naïssam Jalal pour la sortie de son album Souffles. Naïssam Jalal surprend avec Souffles, son nouvel album écrit comme un dialogue intime et inspiré entre soufflants. Ce dixième album marque une nouvelle étape dans le parcours de la flûtiste, confirmant son talent de compositrice, narratrice et improvisatrice. Elle unit son souffle à celui de huit instrumentistes à vent d'exception et révèle huit duos vibrants. Chaque pièce qu'elle écrit met en valeur la sensibilité et la technique de chaque invité, tout en proposant des combinaisons instrumentales inédites. « Il y a plusieurs années, déclare Naïssam, je me suis rendue compte que je ne jouerais probablement jamais avec ces camarades soufflants qui me touchent dans leur expression musicale et que je côtoie pourtant dans les festivals de jazz depuis des années. J'ai réalisé qu'il n'existerait probablement jamais d'occasion de mêler nos sons et nos souffles à moins de l'imaginer et de la provoquer. » Décrit comme un lieu de rencontre qui interroge le rapport des musiciens à leur instrument et au jeu en commun, Souffles invite aussi à écouter autrement, à percevoir la musique dans ce qu'elle a de plus intime. « Cet album est né du désir de créer un son commun avec mes pairs, puisqu'en tant que soufflants, nous partageons des problématiques auxquelles nous répondons chacun avec notre sensibilité et notre singularité, de manière plus ou moins consciente. Comment créer un discours musical en ne jouant qu'une seule note à la fois, continue-t-elle, même si certains d'entre nous essayons d'échapper à cette contrainte en créant des doubles sons avec nos instruments ou en ayant recours à la voix ? Comment aborder la linéarité mélodique dans l'horizontalité ou en essayant de reconstituer une certaine verticalité ?

Du tonkori à la flûte traversière, un voyage intime entre l'archipel d'Hokkaidô et la France. Et la Syrie. Nous avons profité de la venue à Paris de l'artiste japonais OKI à la Maison de la Culture du Japon à Paris (MCJP) pour l'inviter dans la #SessionLive.  Le Japon n'est pas, comme on le croit souvent, une société composée d'un seul groupe ethnique. Dans le nord de l'archipel, en particulier à Hokkaidô, le peuple aïnou a su préserver sa langue, ses coutumes et sa culture, malgré les politiques d'assimilation et les discriminations. Aujourd'hui, la population aïnoue est estimée à quelques dizaines de milliers de personnes. La loi japonaise de 2019 reconnaissant les Aïnous en tant que peuple autochtone montre que leur situation évolue (MCJP). Oki & Rekpo biographie Depuis plus de 30 ans, OKI joue un rôle essentiel dans la renaissance de la musique aïnoue. Dans ses créations, il perpétue son héritage musical tout en y intégrant des éléments d'autres genres tels que le reggae, le blues ou encore le dub. C'est aussi en électrifiant le tonkori, un instrument à cordes traditionnel, qu'il a donné une dimension résolument contemporaine à cette musique ancestrale. Sa carrière internationale l'a mené en Europe, aux États-Unis et en Asie, dans des festivals aussi renommés que le Womad au Royaume-Uni. OKI a aussi produit des artistes aïnous comme la grande chanteuse Umeko Ando et le groupe vocal féminin Marewrew sur son label Chikar Studio. Sur scène et dans la #SessionLive, Oki se produit avec son épouse, la chanteuse Rekpo, son fils le batteur Manaw et le bassiste Takashi Nakajô (MCJP) Titres interprétés au grand studio - Topatttumi Live RFI - Iuta Upopo (Pestle Song) avec la voix de Umeko Ando - Hekuri Sarari Live RFI. Line Up : OKI (chant, tonkori, mukkuri), Rekpo (chant, tonkori, mukkuri), Manaw Kanô (batterie) et Takashi Nakajô (basse) + Aya SOEJIMA (conseillère artistique MCJP et traductrice). Son : Benoît Letirant, Jérémie Besset. ► Album Tonkori in the Moonlight (Mais Um 2022). YouTube - Facebook Bandcamp artistes aïnous 2022 (Five Ainu Artists Revitalizing Indigenous Japanese Music | Bandcamp Daily)    Puis nous recevons Naïssam Jalal pour la sortie de son album Souffles. Naïssam Jalal surprend avec Souffles, son nouvel album écrit comme un dialogue intime et inspiré entre soufflants. Ce dixième album marque une nouvelle étape dans le parcours de la flûtiste, confirmant son talent de compositrice, narratrice et improvisatrice. Elle unit son souffle à celui de huit instrumentistes à vent d'exception et révèle huit duos vibrants. Chaque pièce qu'elle écrit met en valeur la sensibilité et la technique de chaque invité, tout en proposant des combinaisons instrumentales inédites. « Il y a plusieurs années, déclare Naïssam, je me suis rendue compte que je ne jouerais probablement jamais avec ces camarades soufflants qui me touchent dans leur expression musicale et que je côtoie pourtant dans les festivals de jazz depuis des années. J'ai réalisé qu'il n'existerait probablement jamais d'occasion de mêler nos sons et nos souffles à moins de l'imaginer et de la provoquer. » Décrit comme un lieu de rencontre qui interroge le rapport des musiciens à leur instrument et au jeu en commun, Souffles invite aussi à écouter autrement, à percevoir la musique dans ce qu'elle a de plus intime. « Cet album est né du désir de créer un son commun avec mes pairs, puisqu'en tant que soufflants, nous partageons des problématiques auxquelles nous répondons chacun avec notre sensibilité et notre singularité, de manière plus ou moins consciente. Comment créer un discours musical en ne jouant qu'une seule note à la fois, continue-t-elle, même si certains d'entre nous essayons d'échapper à cette contrainte en créant des doubles sons avec nos instruments ou en ayant recours à la voix ? Comment aborder la linéarité mélodique dans l'horizontalité ou en essayant de reconstituer une certaine verticalité ? Comment incarner le rôle de celui qui porte « fatalement » le discours mélodique ? Comment gérer le fait de se servir d'un élément aussi intime que nos souffles, l'air de nos entrailles pour créer du beau ? Cette mise à nu, qu'implique-t-elle dans notre rapport à l'intimité, au spirituel et à l'autre, celui ou celle qui nous écoute et qui entend le fruit de nos souffles ? » Le duo formé avec Thomas de Pourquery inaugure l'album dans une puissante ascension.

For Mandie McGlynn, founder of Selah Spiritual Care, tarot can serve as a deeply meaningful modality for Jewish experience. McGlynn joins Dan Libenson and Lex Rofeberg on this week's episode to discuss her use of tarot as part of the preparatory work of the month of Elul (the on-ramp month before the High Holidays), through an initiative she created called “Turning Toward Life.” This episode is the second in a mini-series of Judaism Unbound episodes exploring tarot through Jewish lenses.Access full shownotes for this episode via this link.

A nostalgic revisit to one of YOM's (and my) most cherished episodes.The root of suffering lies in what we think and believe. But what if I told you there's a way out? A way out of pain, betrayal, addiction, depression, and anything else that weighs us down. Byron Katie's four powerful questions offer a path to freedom. When we sit with these questions, we uncover the truth within ourselves... not the truth dictated by the world, but the one that resides deep within us. What's true within you? Byron Katie gently guides us toward healing our grievances and mending our hearts.SPONSORS' SPECIAL OFFERS hereThe Four Questions from "The Work":Is it true? (Yes or no.

Heshvan is the month that comes after Tishri -- the month containing Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and multiple other Jewish holidays. It (Heshvan) is often framed as "a month with no Jewish holidays." The problem? It is not a month with no Jewish holidays! In this episode, Lex, Miriam, and Rena Yehuda (members of Judaism Unbound's staff team) dive into multiple Jewish holidays that have taken place in the past -- and continue to take place today -- during the month of Heshvan. They also ask some big questions about how we might reconceptualize the role of Heshvan entirely!Register for the next gathering of Shabbat Unbound on November 22nd via this link!
