Frozen Jews

In this episode, Dara Horn explores the bizarre afterlife of a chance encounter that later caused an entire empire to lose its mind. In 1904, the American Jewish financier Jacob Schiff randomly met a Japanese banker at a dinner in London and decided to give Japan a $200 million loan in order to help ensure its victory in the Russo-Japanese War. A generation later, when Japanese military officers were first exposed to an antisemitic conspiracy theory, they assumed, based on their country’s experience with Schiff, that it must be true-- and convinced their government to take action. In twist upon twist, the Empire of Japan became more and more involved in “the Jewish Question,” to the point where they actually tried to answer it. Their answer? To build a Jewish state in Manchuria. More information about Japan’s relationship with Jews in the 20th century is available in the following works: The Fugu Plan by Marvin Tokayer, an American rabbi who served the Jewish community in Kobe in the 1960s and was the first Westerner to directly interview many of the people involved in Japan’s short-lived idea for a Manchurian Jewish state; Under the Shadow of the Rising Sun: Japan and the Jews During the Holocaust Era by Meron Medzini; “Japan’s Response to the Zionist Movement in the 1920s” by Naoki Maruyama; “Sinat Yisrael LeLo Yehudim [Antisemitism Without Jews]” by Ben-Ami Shillony; and “The Japanese Ideology of Antisemitism” by David Kranzler. On Jacob Schiff, see Jacob Schiff: A Study in American Jewish Leadership by Naomi Cohen. Zev Eleff’s work on the history of American Jewish religious leadership includes the books Who Rules the Synagogue? and Authentically Orthodox. More information about the Jewish history of Harbin, China, can be found in “Frozen Jews” in People Love Dead Jews by Dara Horn.

Chullin 34 - Purely Improving

On today’s page, Chullin 34, the Talmud explores the many gradations of ritual impurity and the complicated ways they are transmitted from one person or object to another. Yet beneath the legal framework lies a striking philosophical observation: impurity comes in countless forms and degrees, while purity is singular and uncomplicated. The daf challenges us to think differently about growth, failure, and the long process of becoming better people. If perfection is impossible, what does it mean to keep improving anyway? Listen and find out.
シーズン 41、エピソード 36

Chullin 36 and 37 - Stayin' Alive

On today’s pages, Chullin 36 and 37, the rabbis debate how to determine whether a sick animal was still alive at the moment it was slaughtered. Blood, movement, and other signs become crucial evidence in a surprisingly detailed discussion about the boundary between life and death. But the daf ultimately points toward a deeper question: what does it mean for a human being to be truly alive? Is life merely a matter of biology, or is something more required of us? Listen and find out.

Chullin 33 - Better Living Through Biohacking

On today’s page, Chullin 33, the rabbis recommend a curious remedy for those recovering from illness, joining a long Jewish tradition of folk medicine, healing practices, and unconventional cures. From herbal concoctions and mystical amulets to remedies that sound downright bizarre to modern ears, generations of Jews searched for ways to care for body and soul alike. The daf invites us to reconsider what our ancestors were really doing when they experimented with healing. Were they merely superstitious, or were they engaged in an older form of biohacking? Listen and find out.

Chullin 41 - The Battle for Israel's Soul

On today’s page, Chullin 41, the rabbis wrestle with a difficult question: how do we identify those who have fundamentally broken with the values of the Jewish community? What begins as a technical discussion of ritual slaughter and idolatry quickly opens onto a much larger story about disagreement, belonging, and the boundaries of Jewish life. The daf reminds us that Jews have been arguing over first principles for thousands of years—and that some of those arguments are still very much alive today. In this special episode, we’re also sharing a brief excerpt from the first installment of our new three-part series, The Battle for Israel’s Soul, which explores one of the most consequential Jewish debates of our own time. What happens when two Jews envision radically different futures for the same people? Listen and find out.

Chullin 40 - Bad Company

Blurb: On today’s page, Chullin 40, the Talmud asks what happens when two people jointly perform an act, but only one brings corrupt intentions to it. The answer is severe: the whole slaughter becomes invalid, even though one participant may have meant no harm. The daf turns this legal problem into a broader warning about the company we keep and the partnerships we form. Can one bad partner ruin an otherwise worthy project? Listen and find out.
