    What’s the Goal of the Gap Year in Israel? Ari Waxman, Judah Mischel, and Gershon Turetsky [Israel & Diaspora Bonus]

    This episode is sponsored by Eden Beit Shemesh. Contact Rina Weinberg at info@edenbeitshemesh.com for more details. In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to a panel of rabbis about yeshiva, seminary, and the “year in Israel.” Additionally, we hear from Dov Rosenblatt, who more than two decades ago wrote the satirical song “Flippin’ Out.”  Gap-year programs have become one of the primary points of contact that American Jews have with Israel. But, paradoxically, the year in Israel is a quintessentially American experience. In this episode we discuss: What are the signs of a healthy gap-year experience? How can gap-year programs become more focused on Israel? How has the year in Israel changed in a post–October 7 world?Tune in to hear a conversation about how the gap year can meet the needs of this generation. Interview with Dov Rosenblatt begins at 16:25. Shaalvim Dinner panel with Ari Waxman, Judah Mischel, and Gershon Turetsky begins at 33:36. References: “Flippin' Out” by Blue Fringe Flipping Out?

North American Orthodox Judaism has developed strong boundaries deciding who is in and who is out of the community.

In this episode we discuss: How does Israel’s Hardal community differ from America’s Centrist Orthodox community? What do olim parents think of the way religion and politics are intertwined in Israel? How has “flip-out” culture in gap-year programs evolved in recent decades?Tune in to hear a conversation about understanding religious growth in ways that transcend “right” and “left.”  Interview begins at 11:41.

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Shayna Goldberg—a teacher, mashgicha ruchanit, yoetzet halacha, and author—about the unique features of Israel’s Religious Zionist community. Jews in America are proud of the institutions and culture built over the past century, but we tend to forget that Israel’s Dati Leumi community has developed its own parallel—and vastly different—culture. In this episode we discuss: How did Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik and Rav Kook lay the groundwork for our different religious communities today? How does religious life in Israel compare with America?How have religious Israeli women’s attitudes toward army service evolved over the years?Tune in to hear a conversation about how deeply Jewish practice and spirituality penetrate everyday life in Israel’s religious communities.  Interview begins at 12:42.

    Malka Simkovich: When Did The Jewish Diaspora Begin? [Israel & Diaspora 2/5]

    This episode is sponsored by Eden Beit Shemesh. Contact Rina Weinberg at info@edenbeitshemesh.com for more details.  Noam Taragin, son of our previous guest Rabbi Moshe Taragin, was seriously injured in Lebanon. We ask to pray for his quick healing: Noam Avraham ben Atara Shlomit. In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Malka Simkovich—a scholar of Jewish history, the editor-in-chief of the Jewish Publication Society, and a three-time 18Forty guest—about previous Jewish diasporas.  We tend to think of “Israel-diaspora relations” as a modern phenomenon. But, as Dr. Simkovich reminds us, that situation existed well over 2,000 years ago, when some Jews returned to the Land of Israel following the Babylonian exile while others remained abroad. In this episode we discuss: What are the differences between the notions of golah, diaspora, and galut?Did ancient diaspora Jews have a political equivalent to “supporting Israel”? How should Jews live when in a partial state of exile?Tune in to hear a conversation about the “proto-messianic mindset” throughout Jewish history and today.  Interview begins at 8:58.

  8. Matisyahu: Teshuva in the Spotlight [Teshuva IV 5/5]

    8 OCT

    Matisyahu: Teshuva in the Spotlight [Teshuva IV 5/5]

    This series is sponsored by Mira and Daniel Stokar, and this episode is sponsored by dailygiving.org. In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to musician Matisyahu Miller—known as “Matisyahu”—who has publicly re-embraced his Judaism and Zionism since October 7. Matisyahu’s public persona has long been subject to scrutiny and analysis. Comparatively few people, though, have listened to his story in depth. In this episode we discuss: How has the public expression of Matisyahu’s Jewish identity ebbed and flowed throughout his life?Is there anything Matisyahu would change about the Orthodox community?How has the inwardness of Matisyahu’s Jewish identity guided him throughout his life?Tune in to hear a conversation about what it means to be, in Matisyahu’s words, “a pnimius Yid.” Grammy-nominated artist Matisyahu is a singer, songwriter, rapper, and alternative rock musician. He's known for his skill in blending reggae and hip hop as he provides a raw expression of his spirituality. His long and winding career consists of seven albums including chart-topping Light, Youth, Spark Seeker, Akeda, and Undercurrent with hits such as "One Day", "Sunshine", and "King Without A Crown". Through his lyrics, Matisyahu develops a personal, artistic, and sophisticated way to express the yearning for deep spiritual meaning, and as his own beliefs opened up to find more variety and depth, the desire for his performances to match the unpredictable flow of life developed as well.  References: The Office  Light by Matisyahu Akeda by Matisyahu Holy Brother: Inspiring Stories and Enchanted Tales about Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach by Yitta Halberstam Mandelbaum The Sabbath by Abraham Joshua Heschel Politics Of Experience by R.D.
