Where does this love come from? Can it help turn the tide against the spreading hate? What is the relationship between Jews, Christians, and Muslims, and what does nature want...

In the wake of October 7th, Samantha Ettus—5 times best selling author, Harvard MBA, and professional speaker—found herself in the unexpected position of becoming a Jewish activist, or as she calls it, an accidental activist. While previously recognized for her insights on the future of work she refocused all of her endeavors to combat antisemitism and mobilize the Jewish community. We are happy she is in our circle.

Like many of us, Brad's worldview was shattered after the 7th. Not so much because of the violence but because of the world's reaction to it. Television host of the award-winning television program Air Land & Sea, broadcasting weekly on the national cable network Jewish Life Television/JLTV, Brad opened up about the root cause of antisemitism and was brave enough to entertain some unusual possible routes out of the current Jewish pickle. #israel   Brad's digital signature: X:...

She says that antisemites have made her more Jewish. But she wasn't satisfied with just being anti-antisemite. Mairi wanted more. So she moved to Israel, fell in love with the country and then with her future husband. She finds joy in standing up to antisemites but we have a feeling she's going to add an important piece to our puzzle. Join us. What allowed the Oct. 7 atrocities to unfold? Why are Jews best defined by their troubles? What could be the solution to antisemitism, anti-zionism,...

Rabbi Leo Dee has endured what no man should. He lost his wife and two daughters in a terrorist attack in April of 2023. But this tragedy, which could've easily brought any of us to our knees, has brought out even finer qualities in an already special individual. He's one of our most insightful guests and he doesn't want others to wait for something painful to bring out the pain in them.

Joe Roberts is managing director of Winston Wilmont, a public affairs firm, and chair of Meretz Canada. He has served in senior leadership positions in Jewish communal organizations across North America. He's advocating for the people, for democracy, for human rights. A columnist. He's a husband. Dad.

We finally decided to bring the man behind the organization that will free all Jews from their oppressors. We're talking of course about the Mossad. More specifically, the Mossad's fake X account hilariously run by Shwn Eni. We want to tell you more but we'd have to kill you. The best thing to do is tune in and see how the Mossad's parody can help us fight Antisemitsm. But don't tell anyone. #mossad #jewish #antisemitism #unity What allowed the Oct. 7 atrocities to unfold? Why are Jews...

Seth Menachem is going to be the second psychotherapist we've had on and we have some good feelings about him because in his practice he says that "I work to help you understand your history so we can discover how it is influencing the ways in which you currently operate in the world" - which is exactly what we do with Jews and antisemitism. He's also Fred Menachem's little brother so it's promising to be a fun ride. Join us. What allowed the Oct. 7 atrocities to unfold? Why are Jews best...

Seth and I go a long way back with Joseph. I worked on a documentary from 2012 with him and Seth is co-hosting The Great Transition with him. In both instances, his brilliant mind, his clarity of articulation and creative vision, shine through everything he does. We invited him to talk about the state of Israel, of Israelis, and of Jewish unity. He took time from his duty as a medic reservist to be with us here. Don't miss it.

So much has been said about this eloquent Rabbinfluencer. He recently resigned from the Harvard advisory board on antisemitism and he spoke with Sam Harris about it. But we wanted to dig a little deeper, beyond the internal politics and the obvious frustrations, and get to the heart of what could be the only real solution to antisemitism.  Rabbi David Wolpe X: @RabbiWolpe   W: https://t.co/4WTfPcgy5R Books: https://shorturl.at/lJW02 LISTEN TO THE MYSTERY BOOK PODCAST...

Bubbling with energy and a good dose of rebellious spirit, Etana is probably one of the few guests we've had on the show that took a real stab at defining Jews from the positive, or at least describing a few time-honored practices all centered around one tent pole, that she felt are at the root of Jewish success. Did we find something tangible the world can actually learn from us and apply at home without becoming a Jew? You be the judge. Etana Hecht X: @etanadeeIL W:...

They should call him Fred Mensch. We thought we needed cyber security against the alarming rise (surprise surprise) in cyber attacks against Jewish institutions and Jewish individuals.

JEWS AND THE SURVIVAL OF THE SYSTEM is a modern scientific exploration of Antisemitism or Anti-semitism around the world using the emerging sciences of cybernetics, systems theory and network theory. It describes how the human family is no different than any other integral, interconnected system in nature that exhibits growth by hubs and nods just like any other complex system. Jews are the hubs (nodes that pass the signal on to the rest of the system) and the gentiles or nations of the world...

This talk with Sabrina—wise, well-informed, and so sweet—was so positive about the future. Her thesis carefully laid out the problem of being a Jew in Harvard and the eternal dilemma of which side of the map to lean into in order to follow your conscience and preserve your safety. Little did we suspect that our world would be turned upside down and that the worst we came to assume about Harvard would come to pass just days after the Oct. 7 atrocities in Israel by Hamas.
