What line would you cross, and why? In this week's episode, “The Believer” (The Mandalorian, Chapter 15), we go deep into that question—plumbing the depths of honor, extremism, and vengeance.Like a Clone Wars or Rebels episode brought to life, this episode is an utter treat and absolutely kicked up a notch in preparation for the finale. “Pulpy” and “iconic” are words that come to mind as Mando gets the gang together and Bill Burr blows the roof off of a really good script.Next week, we finish Season 2 of The Mandalorian and finally put The Book of Boba Fett in our crosshairs.New to Growing Up Skywalker?

External imperfection or Internal Wholeness: Who are We? Zealotry & Harsh Judgment. ZOHAR on Pinchas

Jihadi Syrian Soldiers shave the facial hair of sheiks solely to humiliate them before committing murder and atrocities against the Druzim. Sound familiar? Think back 75 years. Like the Nazis, they gleefully filmed and disseminated their carnage! The Torah has something to say 'zealotry' and what divides the good and holy from that which is ugly and inhumane. Pull Up a Chair 17JULY2025 - PODCAST

Israel's strikes on Iran have exposed more than military vulnerabilities—they've revealed the deadly consequences of Iran's religious zealotry. Drawing parallels with the biblical spies in Parshat Shlach and the doomed sectarians of Qumran, Rabbi Dunner explores how absolutist ideology—whether ancient or modern—is not the path to purity or righteousness, but rather to chaos and ruin.

Rav Dimi traveled from the land of Israel to Babylonia: The Hasmonean court isn't decrees against a man sleeping with a non-Jewish woman that puts him in violation of 4 injunctions: a woman who is impure from menstruation (even if she's not Jewish, when that wouldn't usually apply), a non-Jewish maidservant, a non-Jewish woman, and a married woman. That last one was subject to debate, and "zonah," prostitute, was suggested in place of adultery. But a Jewish man who saw this kind of event and brings it to the attention of the court is NOT told by the court to take it forward. That is, the court does not approve of these matters being taken into the hands of individuals, by those individuals. Also, a read of Pinchas, the archetypal zealot. 6 miracles were done for Pinchas when he acted against Zimri and Cozbi. With graphic, fascinating interpretations with regard to each of these three (and their sin).

The bankruptcy judge overseeing the liquidation of Infowars has halted the transfer of the company to the Onion due to suspicion of fraud in the auction. With the rise of Trump once again, and his almost unanimous selection of open zionists, not to mention the patriotic rise of Elon Musk, it is a healthy question to ponder: what if this is all a giant scam, a giant troll - if not literally, perhaps that is the image being created by the so-called Deep State? Those defending the selection of zionists have argued it's ‘better than the other side', though the other side is overrun by the same zionists. Heroes like Tulsi Gabbard may be legitimate but there is a chance she is indeed a Young Global Leader of the WEF, something also justified as being nothing more than her not knowing what she had been listed as being apart of - a similar argument used when Trump is caught in a tight spot. Those like Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk, selected to run a new agency called Office of Government Efficiency are peculiar figures: Vivek has called on Israel to commit total genocide against their enemies and Musk, who bought Twitter more than likely for the data, also likely knew, based on the data, who would win the election and therefore assigned with him in order to boost his corporate-government contracts and personal power. What if there were no bad guys or good guys, and that the whole narrative is nothing more than our own personal delusions, held to keep us sane when faced with unimaginable conspiracy and lies, or just the reality that maybe we don't matter at all. Now with Senator Katie Britt putting colleges on alert for restrictions on protest and speech, we are watching in real time as free speech, protest, publication, and religion, are under assault due to the creating a specially protected class that stands above all other Americans. They believe they are chosen, that they have a right to expand their reich, and that anyone in disagreement should be silenced or exterminated. -FULL ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachings Twitter: https://twitter.com/TST___Radio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachings WEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early & ad-free show access): http://thesecretteachings.info Paypal: rdgable@yahoo.com CashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

In this episode of the "On Meaning" podcast,  Tamir Dortal hosts world-renowned historian and public intellectual Professor Niall Ferguson for a fascinating conversation about the role of religion in contemporary society.Professor Ferguson, known for his nuanced perspectives on history and current affairs, delves into his personal journey from atheism to Christianity, explaining the reasons behind this significant shift in belief. He discusses the challenges of raising a family and navigating morality without a religious framework, emphasizing the importance of religious education for cultural understanding and ethical development. He further explores the historical context of secularization, contrasting the West's trajectory with the more turbulent experiences of communist regimes.The discussion then takes a surprising turn as Professor Ferguson analyzes the emergence of "wokeism" as a new form of pseudo-religion, drawing parallels with historical examples of political ideologies filling the void left by traditional faith. He also examines the complexities of inter-civilizational dialogue in a globalized world, advocating for greater understanding and engagement between different cultural traditions. Tune in for a thought-provoking exploration of faith, secularism, and the search for meaning in the 21st century.0:00:00 - 0:05:15: From Atheism to Faith: A Historian's Journey0:05:15 - 0:08:18: Parenting and Faith: Why Religion Matters in the Home 0:08:18 - 0:13:54: The Historian's Dilemma: Confronting Suffering, Questioning Purpose0:13:54 - 0:19:13: Secularization's Rise: From Enlightenment Skepticism to Empty Pews0:19:13 - 0:26:46: The Rise of Wokeism: Filling the God-Shaped Hole?0:26:46 - 0:30:20: The Strange Bedfellows of Wokeness and Islamism0:30:20 - 0:33:45: The Unintended Consequences of Secular Education0:33:45 - 0:43:51: Building a New University: The Pursuit of Truth in a Divided World0:43:51 - 0:48:34: Islam and the West: Challenges and Hopes for Coexistence0:48:34 - 0:55:05: Zealotry without Force: Living Your Values, Respecting Differences#על_המשמעות #podcast #niall_ferguson~אברהם יצחק פיירמן - מוהל - 058-630-1851 Support the Show.להצטרפות כמנוי הפודקאסט ואתר מידההצטרפו לניוזלטר שלנו וקבלו עדכונים לפני כולם. - http://eepurl.com/iv2c6k לצפיה ברשימת ההמלצותלהצטרפות לערוץ הטלגרםלהצטרפות לקבוצת המתנדבים שלנו שבזכותה אנו יכולים להפיק לכם תוכןהאזנה נעימה!

How far would you go to stand up for your beliefs? In this episode, we uncover the incredible story of Pinchas, a figure whose passionate stand against sin earned him divine recognition and intense scrutiny and ridicule. We dive into the unique legal and moral foundations that justified his bold actions and explore the immense courage it took for him to act so decisively. Pinchas's story isn't just about ancient zealotry; it's a powerful reminder of the complexities involved in doing what's right, especially when it's unpopular.Join us as we unpack the compelling lessons from Parshas Balak and Pinchas, highlighting the necessity of courage and unwavering faith. We discuss the teachings of the Altar of Kelm, which emphasizes that true devotion to God involves a deep hatred for evil and the strength to oppose it. Although we strongly discourage literal acts of violence, we encourage you to channel Pinchas's spirit by passionately defending your principles and serving God with all your heart. This episode will inspire you to live with gevura and dedication, even in a world that often challenges your values.Support the Show.Join The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!Elevate your impact by becoming a TMC Emerald Donor!

Zealotry in a single person is characterized as the amplification of the importance of one single subject to the point that all other subjects have little or no relative importance. Anyone can engage in zealotry and it can lead to many negative consequences for the zealot. How this manifests in social scenarios is discussed in this episode.Linkshttps://www.newsweek.com/los-angeles-synagogue-attack-everything-we-know-1916345

I could live with a science of reading if the SoR zealots applied the scientific principles they claim to worship and adore to all of reading reality. That is, if the scientific principles that they insist be used to determine what is effective reading instruction were also used to establish cause and effect, I could live with the zealotry. But, they abandon their cherished scientific ideals when identifying problems and evaluating solutions to problems. Look at the reading laws passed by 32 state legislatures. Look at the testimony by “experts”. You will see the word “science” used a lot, but science if much different from ‘I-think-isms', anecdotal evidence, and personal experiences.

What does it mean to be a zealot? How do we measure a person's zealotry? Do we exaggerate ideas when they support the things we are zealous about? Do some of us openly and knowingly lie about things simply because it supports our ideas?

We review the story of Yehu and where he went wrong.

Mesilat Yesharim - Perek 19 (10) - "Zealotry and Selflessness" by Rabbi Avi Harari

Chassidus applied to the Nine Days What do we learn from these days? How are they reflected in our psyches? What is the significance of Aaron's yahrzeit on Rosh Chodesh Av? Why specifically nine days? Lessons from Shabbos Chazon How do we reconcile R' Levi Yitzchak Berditchever's explanation of Chazon with its literal meaning? How to transform a vision of destruction into a vision of redemption? Lessons from Parshas Devarim What is the general lesson from this chapter? Why is Devarim called Mishneh Torah? Does it have the same divinity as the first four books since it was spoken by Moshe? Since every word in Torah is precise, why was it necessary for Moshe to repeat some events and laws in Mishneh Torah? Why were the two and a half tribes that wanted to settle outside the borders of Israel not judged as harshly as the scouts? How to deal with a spouse's zealotry? Should we leave our shlichus due to a health threat of tics? Why did G-d create mosquitos? Dealing with narcissism – follow-up

Zealotry is manifestly dangerous. Yet, God praises Pinchas for his fanaticism. What is praiseworthy about such zeal?

'When you are laboring for others let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself.' --Confucius ------------------------------------------------- In today's episode, we're diving into a topic that will have you on the edge of your seat: Zealotry!

First off, a brief item of business for those of you listening in close to real time – on April 11, 2023, I'll be in Washington with some free time in the evening.  If Washington area listeners want to do a meet up, send me a note at thehistoryoftheamericans@gmail.com, through the website, or by DM on Twitter.  If we get a few takers I'll find some place that is reasonably convenient to DuPont Circle where I will be staying, and get it organized.  I hope we can do it! In this episode we recount Roger Williams' first few years in Massachusetts, following his refusal of the post of "teacher" at the church in Boston on the ground that it was insufficiently "separated." In the years until 1624, Williams would begin to develop his idea that church and state must be separate. With the goal of saving Indian souls, he also deepened his understanding of the local tribes and Algonquian language and culture. He would live in Salem, then Plymouth, and back to Salem, but he spent most of his time abroad in the land, paddling his canoe from one Indian village to another. Also during these years, religious zeal in both Massachusetts and back in England, although in different form, would become even more extreme. Zealotry, it would turn out, was not all it was cracked up to be. Twitter: @TheHistoryOfTh2 Facebook: The History of the Americans Podcast Selected references for this episode John M.

Before he makes his big screen debut in Wakanda Forever, we take a deep dive on NAMOR! To what depths does his distrust of the surface world go? Intro New patron: Citizen Amar-Kareem Background (4:55) Namor Mckenzie, the Sub-Mariner, created by Bill Everett in Motion Picture Funnies Weekly (April 1939) and Marvel Comics #1 (October 1939) Namor was born from a human father, sea captain Leonard McKenzie, and an Atlantean, Fen, daughter of Emperor Thakorr His unique parentage gave him both strengths and weaknesses that other Atlanteans did not possess: he is pink skinned like humans as opposed to the blue skin of pureblood Atlanteans, but he cannot survive in water or on land for prolonged periods of time, or it will impact his psyche Initially Namor was, if not a full villain, at best an antihero or well-intentioned extremist, attacking Americans in the name of protecting Atlantis and the ocean Once WWII started, he joined other heroes in attacking Nazis After WWII, he suffered an amnesiac attack, and once he recovered, he joined Professor Xavier in searching for mutants - Xavier's attempt at repairing his memories, however, created further issues in Namor's mind, and gave him bipolar disorder He was later found wandering the streets of New York as an amnesiac vagrant - upon learning that Atlantis was destroyed by nuclear bombs, his memories returned and he vowed revenge on the surface world, pitting him against the Fantastic Four numerous times He would attempt several times to woo Susan Storm away from Reed, but although Sue admits an attraction to Namor, she remains loyal to her husband He married twice - his first wife Dorma was killed shortly after the wedding by an evil mermaid, and his second wife Marrina was driven mad, and Namor was forced to kill her with the Ebony Blade - she survived, and Norman Osborn altered her DNA to turn her into a raging beast as part of his revenge on Namor, who killed her once again #BecauseComics In the 90s, he searches for sunken treasures and uses the money to finance a corporation that focuses on conservation He is a member of the Illuminati, and notably the only one opposed to sending the Hulk into space, as he foresaw dire consequences should Bruce return - he was the only one who Bruce didn't seek vengeance upon when Hulk came back Due to his mutant abilities, he formally joins the X-Men, and is one of the Phoenix Five during AvX, but is the first one to be defeated and lose his Phoenix Force powers Namor is killed by the Squadron Supreme in retaliation for his numerous attacks on Earth and other worlds, but this is undone by time travel after the team realized Namor's murder would lead to global destruction Fights the Agents of Atlas after Atlantis' guardian dragon is stolen - after some battling, Namor & the agents come to an understanding, and then team up against the King in Black Issues - born of two worlds, welcome in neither Mixed parentage creates hostility Unique physiology leads to bipolar disorder, or at least manic/depressive swings Zealotry for Atlanteans leads to issues with both his people as well as surface dwellers Break Plugs for Last Sons of Krypton, Cheers to Comics, and Meghan Fitzmartin Treatment In-universe -  Out of universe - Mixed race parentage Skit Hello Namor, I'm Dr. Issues. - I am King Namor, ruler of Atlantis. I am not one of your colleagues, we are not fraternizing over a beverage. You will address me accordingly. My apologies, your majesty…your highness…your Atlantean Majestic highness? I'm bad at this. -I gave you one job and yet you have failed. But I am a forgiving ruler, so you will get one more chance. Thank you, King Namo…wait, you don't rule me! -That is not the point. As long as you show the proper respect, and the appropriate decorum, then I have no quarrel with you. Very well then. What does the mighty King of Atlantis have to gain from gracing the presence of a common land-dwelling human psychiatrist? -I would have thought that my message was delivered ahead of time. If not, then I will be forced to punish the one that failed to deliver said message, AND then I will have them re-send that message twice as fast the next time. There is no room for error in troubling times such as these. So…what was the message? - That I, albeit one of the most important figures in existence, has made his mark on the world, yet still find challenges that can only be mastered through the guiding hand of one with the knowledge of the mind. You, my humble servant, are such a man. Um…thanks? So, what can I help you with? -My people have respected me for so long that I worry they no longer fear me the way they should. There is no room for comfort when our world remains in great peril on all sides. No offense but, that comes across a bit paranoid. -You wouldn't say that if you have fought the battles we have fought. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. But why would you want fear instead of respect? Fear is the more primal response and that sounds…beneath you. -Fear can be harnessed. Respect is dormant, docile even. Boy, you really have a hard edge. Do you ever relax? -I am capable of the finest travels in leisure only privy to those that would dare seek such an endeavor. *pause* Such as… -That's classified. It is beneath a man of my stature to, as you say, kiss and tell.  Oooooookaaaaay…are you always this obtuse? -There is no need to use such language! Remember your place amongst royalty. *pause* You don't know what that word means, do you? -*pause* The kingdom of Atlantis has no need for obscure vocabulary. We speak directly, we are a people of action. All you're talking about so far is your people. That's nice, but the point of individual therapy is the individual. What do you want to change? -Nothing. Then we're done here. What's the point? -You once again have a misguided approach. I am saying that I value consistency. Tradition. Honor. Or are those concepts too…obtuse for you to comprehend? You want permanent, everlasting control of that which is important to you. -Now we are speaking the right language. As a psychiatrist, I must inform you, King Namor of the Atlanteans, that I am in no position to make any such guarantee that our sessions will yield that result. - I see. You need to work on your delivery of sarcasm. It does not match any of my rivals for wit or passion. You're USED to people talking to you that way? Did you ever think that it's because you get under the skin of every person you meet? -A pearl is made by an irritant of sand in an oyster's mouth. And yet, not every oyster produces a pearl. My lot in life is to create more treasures of the sea. Why should I care if others are intolerable of my grit? I'm not sure that's a “lot” in life instead of a conscious choice. -*pause* That's not a question. I…don't think I wanted it to be a question? Anyway, you're blocking my attempts to understand your emotions, your thought process, and your values. What do you want from me? -Well, you haven't attempted to throw me out of your office yet, so that tells me you are more tolerant than most plebs. ***paper unfurls*** Here's a list of every goal that is relevant to my success. The first 50 of them are crossed off. You don't need to show me those. -Then how will you know of my great achievements? I agree -What? *quickly* Nothing…now, you name at least 20 people here and simply have an exclamation point next to their names…except Sue, where you have a heart…but there are no details for any of them - I don't need explanations; I know what they mean. But I DON'T know what they mean! -That's for you to decipher as we talk over the next 22 sessions 22?! Aww man…um, why 22? -I have a full calendar of every in-person session and phone call that we'll have so that you can't say “I'm busy” at the last moment. Your online system is truly convenient. Are you trying to make up for a lack of other attachments by putting more energy into me? -*pause* You say it like it's a bad thing.  15 minute…10 minute time limit - But I *interrupting* and only 3 topics -You are in no position to *interrupting again* plus if you are more than 5 minutes late I charge double -*pause* you are trying to create barriers. I see. But a king never yields. You WILL treat me and you WILL know my greatness. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go salvage a barren stretch of an unknown trench that you have never heard of but will save countless ocean creatures for the sake of Atlantean commerce. I'll be sure to send you a private message when it concludes at…oh, about 4AM on your time scale. *heaviest sigh* I look forward to it. - Now THAT was better.

Yesterday, primary elections were held in Wyoming and Alaska, and the results are pretty much what we expected. But there were some unusual voting patterns in parts of Wyoming, so this morning I called the one person I know there. My old friend Mark "Fish" Fishman is Program Director and hosts mornings on KMTN 96.9FM in Jackson. I'll play back part of our conversation and, if time permits, my later conversation with his boss and newsman Scott Anderson. Then we'll turn our attention to the crazy religious zealotry I mentioned in the title of the episode. Frederick Clarkson was on with me just over a month ago, after he wrote a piece in Salon about Pennsylvania's Republican gubernatorial nominee Doug Mastriano, who's as out there as they come. Well, now Fred has published an article at ReligionDispatches.org about a rift within the New Apostolic Refomation. We'll check in with Fred again because this is a movement we must not only keep an eye on, but have to counter.

Everald Compton and James Morgan discuss how for twice in one week Scott Morrison disgraced himself before previewing Everald's upcoming trip to Canberra to argue for more good

A conversation with Rabbi Stacey Blank: Pinchas is a parashah about extremism. What do we do with the Torah's apparent celebration of a violent act, and how can that reading of the text inform the ways we deal with religious extremism in our own society? Plus, we talk about Jerusalem, about liberal Judaism in Israel, and about feminine language in prayer. To become a supporter of Seven Minute Torah, visit www.patreon.com/sevenminutetorah

Friends,This week's podcast focuses on zealotry, including the big boot of “green zealots” on the neck of farmers in the Netherlands, Spain, and New Zealand. With the agricultural sector being forced to submit to “radical green fantasies” and “dodgy science,” the protests have begun.We also touch on “transanity” in an exchange between law professor Khiara Bridges and Senator Josh Hawley, and look at one of the most monstrous architects of the “final solution,” Adolf Eichmann. Some prophetic words of wisdom and warning by Dietrich Bonhoeffer serve to enlighten us along the way.Enjoy your summer days with family and friends. Every day is a new day. Join us in saying with the hymnist of old, “Morning by morning, new mercies I see!”With Thanks for You!Philip & D. Paul This is a public episode.

Guests: Dr. Jonathon O'Donnell; Brennan Kettelle, MA (res); Tommy Cowan, MA (res) In this special Spotlight episode, my guests and I discuss Netflix's Midnight Mass from various perspectives. We start out with our 'first impressions' of the show, then move to discuss our own talking points based upon each of our own research interests and specialties - religion and demonology in U.S. politics, monster theory, queer-coding of vampires, the nature of angels and demons, vampire history, religion and society, intertextuality, (religious) identity - these topics and more are covered in this panel! Find these great people on social media - Twitter:S.

On this episode of UnAmerican: Brandon, Franklin and Jim are back in the studio together for the first time in a couple weeks and have decided to blindly steer the show where it has not gone before. That's right, sometimes all of the groundwork in the world can't prepare you for the things that just fall into your lap(or land on your car door) and for that reason we're going to do the unusual and toss the format out of the passenger seat window. Enjoy this ridiculous conversation about some [alleged] satanic commandments coming to neighborhoods everywhere soon; we certainly did.

Christian "extremists" have been in the news over the past few years - people doing violent or harmful things and claiming to do so in the name of Jesus, or in God's name. Such things have been going on for at least 2,000 years - what causes people to attribute terrible deeds to God or Jesus?

Sadly, we have lost significant ground here in the US since these episodes were 1st broadcast in 2009. We were just coming out of what most would call a disastrous presidency of GW Bush. We were so very hopeful with the incoming Obama administration. But fundamentalism, racism & a distorted sense of nationalism fomented. It laid the groundwork for an even more chilling 4 years of Trumpism. Our author guest Robert Jewett provides solid history and research to back his view of the overarching zealotry that has motivated so much of America over the centuries. By just changing a few words here & there I suspect we could do this whole thing over again today and still be relevant.

As Israeli violence against Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem heats up amid looming evictions of Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah and Israeli police storming the al Aqsa mosque, Rania Khalek is joined by investigative journalist David Sheen from Haifa for insight into the Israeli side of the equation. Israeli Jewish extremism has been on the rise for years, explains David, with the religious Zionist movement gaining power in government and in the streets. Their messianic movement wants to demolish the Al Aqsa mosque and build a third Jewish temple in its place. They want to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from all of historic Palestine. They want a theocracy. And Netanyahu has empowered them to maintain his own diminishing power.Why is this happening now? What are the Israeli political divisions and machinations driving the violence? What's behind the Israeli lurch to the religious far right? And is there any chance for reversing these developments? Or are Palestinians trapped at the mercy of an increasingly genocidal Israeli politics with zero obstacles to carrying out their apocalyptic vision?

True enthusiasts everywhere understand the pure passion one gets from their interest. Whether it's watches, cars, movies, or ouzo, the joy of discovering the intricacies and nuances of any given field is hard to match. For the true zealot, sharing this passion with others is, in some ways, an even greater joy. My guest for episode three of the FineWatches podcast is a true enthusiast about many things, with an eye for the common thread of the unusual in each. Phillip Toledano, or Mr Enthusiast, is an artist and true creative who's passion for unusual watches and cars sets him apart from the usual banter around both. We discuss his various collections, the joy to be found off the well trodden path and what it means to be a true enthusiast.You can find Mr Enthusiast here: @misterenthusiastThe Viva Bastardo project is here: https://vivabastardo.com/You can find out more about FineWatches here: https://www.finewatches.com.au/
