Make No Mistake: Iran Is Feeling the Pain

Don’t let the press fool you: the massive economic pressure is having a huge effect, and it will continue. Mike and Gadi discuss – and rank by likelihood – the different possible outcomes. Meanwhile high-ranking Israeli officials have been taunting Mike over and over again, about his opinions on Turkey – which are (finally!) shifting. Slightly. Learn more about your ad choices.

What Should Israel Do?

Calibrate your expectations to reality not to the media frenzy. This is the Middle East. Things are never as bad as the alarmists say and they are never as good as we would like. Mike, Gadi and guest analyst, Channel 14’s Tamir Morag, look at the pros and cons of the emerging deal, and ask how Israel should conduct itself vis-à-vis the American interests. Also in this episode: the skit about “Bibists” that created a cultural storm in Israel, and how the deep state operatives tried (and probably failed) to block Netanyahu’s candidate for Head of the Mossad.

Sukkah 14

Today’s Daf Yomi page, Sukkah 14, asks a tough and seminal question: Is a sukkah a home? Rabbi Dr. Stuart Halpern joins us to discuss this question, and why the answer is particularly resonant in times of uncertainty and anxiety. Why did so many Americans turn to home improvement shows during the COVID-19 lockdowns, and what does it have to do with Sukkot? Listen and find out. Like the show?

Deep Cuts

This week on Unorthodox: Nazi alligators and Hitler's childhood home. First we talk to Naama Shefi of the Jewish Food Society, who returns to the show along with Niki Russ Federman and Josh Russ Tupper, the fourth-generation owners of Russ and Daughters, to tell us about their work feeding healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can support the Jewish Food Society's initiative here. Then we sit down with Israeli musician Yair Nitzani, who talks about the strange reality of being a rock star in Israel (he'd head home on his moped after playing stadium shows), plus his work with the hit Israel band T-Slam and his Jon Stewart-inspired news satire television show.

Nedarim 44

Today’s Talmud page, Nedarim 44, may be the earliest recorded discussion of the three-day rule, made popular by romantic comedies everywhere. Why is it that we can wait three days, but no longer, before coming to our senses and doing the right thing? And how might've the Talmud inspired that other canonical text of wisdom, How I Met Your Mother? Listen and find out. Take One is a Tablet Studios production. The show is hosted by Liel Leibovitz, and is produced and edited by Darone Ruskay, Quinn Waller and Elie Bleier.

Season 16, Episode 45

Nedarim 45 and 46

Today’s Talmud pages, Nedarim 45 and 46, asks what we should do when the space we share becomes a battleground of two conflicting worldviews. Professor Richard Landes joins us to explain what a medievalist has to say about contemporary culture, and why our fantasy that, deep down, we all just want to live in peace is dangerously misguided. What can we learn about our moment in time by studying the previous milennium? Listen and find out. Take One is a Tablet Studios production. The show is hosted by Liel Leibovitz, and is produced and edited by Darone Ruskay, Quinn Waller and Elie Bleier.

Pekudei

In this week’s parsha, the Israelites finally complete building the Mishkan, God’s temporary dwelling place on earth. But finishing a task, or pausing en route to the Promised Land, doesn’t mean that the journey is over or even on hold. What does a wise commentary by Rashi teach us about carrying on when we feel stuck? Tune in to find out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Yevamot 13 and 14

Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Yevamot 13 and 14, deliver a powerful reminder that we oughtn't let factionalism get the better of us. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin returns to explain this idea in depth, and tell us why we ought to stay together rather than divide ourselves into disparate tribes.

Zevachim 95 – Bluegrass Break

On today’s page, Zevachim 95, the rabbis continue their careful discussion of how sacred garments are cleaned in the Temple. We take a Chanukah pause with a song from Nefesh Mountain, because nothing launders our hearts and our minds and makes them fresh again quite like music. When the details of ritual start to pile up, where do you turn to feel renewed? Listen and find out. Join Nefesh Mountain tonight at the Brooklyn Bowl for a very special Love & Light show! Doors open at 6pm, there's a pre-show candle lighting at 7pm, and the show starts at 8pm. Get tickets here. To support Tablet and make a tax-deductible donation, click here.
