Description

In this special episode of the <i>18Forty Podcast</i>, in honor of the anniversary of October 7, we revisit and reflect on the conversations we’ve had that have helped us process this tumultuous time. <br /><b><br /></b>The past year has been long and painful, and we’ve been constantly reminded that the trajectory of Jewish history is still at stake. This makes it imperative for us to examine our lives and our relationship to God and to the Jewish People during these Ten Days of Repentance. In this episode we discuss:<b><br /></b><br /><ul><li>What is the role of memory in the Jewish experience, and what are the memories of October 7 that we will hold with us? </li><li>How has the terror attack altered the way we live and the way we understand the world?</li><li>How have our theological and ideological beliefs developed over the past year?</li></ul>Tune in to hear a conversation about what it means to be a Jew during this consequential period in the Jewish story.<br /><b><br /></b>Interview highlights begin at:<br /><br />    Rachel Goldberg-Polin: 16:17<br />    Danny Brom: 23:27<br />    Dina: 30:23<br />    Jonathan Gribetz: 37:29<br />    Doron Perez: 46:29<br />    Noa Lewis: 59:22<br /><b><br />References:</b><br /><b><br /></b><i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Everything-Illuminated-Jonathan-Safran-Foer/dp/0060529709" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Everything Is Illuminated</a> </i>by Jonathan Safran Foer<br /><br /><i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Zakhor-Jewish-History-Lectures-Studies/dp/0295975199" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Zakhor: Jewish History and Jewish Memory</a> </i>by Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi<br /><br />“<a href="https://www.theodorerooseveltcenter.org/Learn-About-TR/TR-Encyclopedia/Culture-and-Society/Man-in-the-Arena.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Man in the Arena</a>” by Theodore Roosevelt<br /><br />“<a href="https://youtu.be/15IARj3rFnM?si=hHaet2nD4vIqsnFY" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shomer Yisroel</a>” by Omek Hadavar<br /><br /><i>18Forty Podcast</i>: Rachel Goldberg-Polin: “<a href="https://18forty.org/podcast/rachel-goldberg-polin-a-hostages-mother-fighting-for-his-freedom/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A Hostage’s Mother Fighting for His Freedom</a>”<br /><br /><i>18Forty Podcast</i>: “<a href="https://18forty.org/podcast/the-trauma-of-war-mental-health-professionals-in-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Trauma of War: Mental Health Professionals in Israel</a>”<br /><br /><i>18Forty Podcast</i>: “<a href="https://18forty.org/podcast/a-haredi-mother-sending-her-children-to-serve/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A Haredi Mother Sending Her Children To Serve</a>”<br /><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Defining-Neighbors-Zionist-Arab-Encounter-Christians/dp/069117346X?ref_=ast_author_dp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i>Defining Neighbors: Religion, Race, and the Early Zionist-Arab Encounter</i></a> by Jonathan Marc Gribetz<br /><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Reading-Herzl-Beirut-Effort-Enemy/dp/0691176809/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr=" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i>Reading Herzl in Beirut: The PLO Effort to Know the Enemy</i></a> by Jonathan Marc Gribetz<br /><br /><i>18Forty Podcast</i>: “<a href="https://18forty.org/podcast/jonathan-gribetz-teaching-the-palestinian-israeli-conflict/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jonathan Gribetz: Teaching the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict</a>”<br /><br /><i>18Forty Podcast</i>: “<a href="https://18forty.org/podcast/our-heart-one-child-married-one-child-missing/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Doron Perez: One Child Married, One Child Missing</a>”<br /><br /><i>18Forty Podcast</i>: “<a href="https://18forty.org/podcast/on-loss-defending-israel-on-oct-7/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">On Loss: Defending Israel on Oct. 7</a>”<br /><br /><a href="https://www.sefaria.org/Ecclesiastes.3?lang=bi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ecclesiastes 3</a><br /><br /><i>18Forty Podcast</i>: “<a href="https://18forty.org/podcast/how-can-we-help-israel-finding-our-purpose/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Noa Lewis: How Can We Help Israel?</a>”<br /><br /><a href="https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.29.17?ven=Tanakh:_The_Holy_Scriptures,_published_by_JPS&amp;lang=bi&amp;with=Translations&amp;lang2=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Genesis 29:17</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.sefaria.org/Rashi_on_Genesis.29.17?lang=bi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rashi on Genesis 29:17</a><br /><br />“<a href="https://www.yutorah.org/lectures/1109925/Forgive-Me,-My-King-I-Did-Not-Know-You-Were-Also-a-Father:-On-Jewish-Peoplehood-in-the-American-Orthodox-Community" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Forgive Me, My King I Did Not Know You Were Also a Father</a>” by David Bashevkin<br /><br /><a href="https://www.sefaria.org/Yoma.39b?lang=bi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yoma 39b</a><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/18forty-podcast--4344730/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/18forty-podcast--4344730/support</a>.
