Season 2, Episode 86

Shabbat 86 and 87

Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Shabbat 86 and 87, ask a difficult question: Why have boundaries? And why would anyone choose to be religious when being religious involves so many strictures? Rabbi David Stav, chairman of the Tzohar organization that works to bridge the gaps between Orthodox and secular Jews in Israel, joins us to discuss the complex beauty of entering into a committed relationship with God.

Eruvin 31

Today’s Daf Yomi page, Eruvin 31, urges us to take agency over what matters in life. And what could matter more than our own education? Eric Cohen, executive director of The Tikvah Fund, joins us to talk about how Covid-19 inspired a slew of new educational offerings, and about why high school students are capable of learning and thinking about much loftier things than we give them credit for.

Shondas and Stereotypes: Jewish Sports Team Owners

This series has so far focused on the bright spots, the moments that Jewish athletes and storylines have made us proud. But not all stories about Jews in sports are the ones we want splashed in the headlines. On this episode, we confront an uncomfortable subject: Jewish team owners behaving badly. We explore the concept of shondas, and how we feel as Jews when high profile Members of the Tribe embarrass us or bring us shame. . Episode 5 features interviews with Dave McKenna, the former Washington City Paper journalist who went up against Dan Snyder, ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, who has reported extensively about Don Sterling’s missteps, sports biographer Jane Leavy, reporter Dave Zirin, and baseball writer Jake Mintz.

A whirlwind week in Israel

A bold rescue operation Nuseirat; Benny Gantz quits the war time coalition; a UN Security Council resolution for a ceasefire and a hostage deal; steep escalation between Hezbollah and Israel in the north, and – if all this is not enough – a looming crisis for the coalition over drafting of ultra-orthodox men to the IDF. Gadi and Mike untangle these strands and conclude that for now Netanyahu's coalition is not on the verge of collapse, despite the Biden administration's best efforts.
