Campus conundrum: Do Antizionists have a place in our communities? 57:11

منذ 9 weeks57:11

57:11

In this episode, Don Cantor and Alex Ozar dive into the challenging landscape surrounding Israel on college campuses, particularly elite East Coast institutions. They explore how students, often identifying as Jewish, find themselves navigating a complex and increasingly politicized environment. The conversation includes discussions on balancing community solidarity with diverse viewpoints, as well as the challenges of maintaining meaningful dialogue amidst rising tensions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The hosts explore the evolving relationship between Jewish identity, political perspectives, and communal belonging. Key Discussion Points: The Consumption of Israel in Campus Discourse: Israel is a constant topic in campus discussions, impacting students on a daily basis. The Changing Landscape: The hosts note a significant shift from their own college experiences, where pro-Israel stances were largely uncontested, to today's environment where diverse perspectives are more prevalent, challenging. The Progressive Challenge: Progressive political cultures can create situations where Jewish students feel pressured to prove their lack of support for genocide in order to be accepted, creating a hostile situation. Humility and Listening: The importance of humility and active listening as essential components for engaging with diverse perspectives on Israel. It involves acknowledging the possibility of valid points and considering different viewpoints. Maintaining Integrity: The necessity of maintaining community integrity and avoiding drastic shifts based solely on changing political sentiments. The Torah Perspective: Sharing a teaching from "Seder Olam Zutta" about Yitro's experience at Mount Sinai and the message of not partaking in celebrations of Torah if one did not also share in periods of suffering. This informs the conversation about identifying with and understanding the plight of the Jewish community, as well as the State of Israel. This leads to the recognition that Torah and Mitzvos build a life that flows from our solidarity together as a community. Embracing Diversity: The goal is to encompass as much of the Jewish community as possible within the shared destiny and consensus. What's Required: Showing love, care, respect, patience. A willingness to engage, learn, and understand even when there is disagreement.…

Beyond the Highlights: Torah, Growth, and Real Connection 50:32

منذ 13 weeks50:32

50:32

Guest Rav Moshe Moskowitz Overview: This episode features Rav Moshe Moskowitz, JLC Director at Johns Hopkins, discussing his approach to Torah learning, his connection to the Pachad Yitzchak, and how he connects with students through Torah. He shares personal stories, offers insights on dealing with challenges, and shares powerful pieces of Torah relevant to the current times. Key Discussion Points: The Pachad Yitzchak: Rav Moshe’s journey of appreciating its depth and how it reveals meaning in seemingly simple concepts. Connecting With Students: Learning their experiences, finding relevant Torah, and understanding their growth is not static. Campus Work Evolution: Requires hard decisions, meeting students where they are, and understanding that your picture of their success might be wrong. Torah for Today: Finding the Torah that helps us with our struggles, including balancing the ideas of Eish Kodesh (finding strength) and Derech haMelech (big ideas about connection). The value of Internalization Using Torah teachings to understand that the best course isn't always action, and to find value in the internal process of an experience. Torah Within: Recognizing that the voice of God can be found within our own thoughts. A Sweet Spot that is where your passions meet your students, and finding a way to bring it all together. The Importance of Translation: Not just repeating Torah but finding ways to create a relevant and transformative experience for students. Recognizing that not all responses are made for an Instagram post or for a fundraising campaign, but internal and deep. The Banal and the Good: That some of the most challenging things, and impactful things, happen in ways that feel banal and do not grab headlines. The Montage and Our Current Culture how the “montage” element of our culture is so destructive because it emphasizes only highlights. The Need for Action & Feeling Connected: When it comes to action, Rav Moshe shares that we must do it with a sense of being a part of what is going on rather than as a distant spectator and to ask what does going to the “frontlines” look like today. Takeaway: This episode highlights the importance of seeking deeper meaning in Torah, understanding the complexities of student experiences, and finding the Torah that resonates with each individual. It emphasizes that growth can be internal, gradual, and not always as linear as we might think.…

Meaning over Metrics: Breaking Free from Transactional Judaism 1:15:51

منذ 19 weeks1:15:51

1:15:51

In this thought-provoking episode, the hosts explore the challenges of practicing Judaism in a world driven by transactional mindsets and career-oriented motivations. They delve into how modern pressures—especially from social media and career expectations—can transform meaningful religious practices into resume-building or social capital-accruing activities. Key Themes: The pervasive tendency to approach Jewish practices (Torah study, mitzvot) as a means of personal advancement The struggle to perform actions for their inherent meaning rather than external benefits Strategies for breaking out of purely transactional religious observance Insights: Judaism was never meant to be practiced by "angels," but by real, imperfect human beings The importance of doing things because they matter, not because of potential advantages Embracing an approach of gradual improvement and self-transcendence Practical Wisdom: Start small: Incrementally push yourself to do mitzvot with more genuine intention Recognize that imperfection is part of the human experience Use irony and playfulness to maintain perspective on personal growth The hosts argue that the goal isn't perfection, but continuous, humble effort—doing a little bit better today than yesterday while maintaining an open and compassionate view of oneself. Memorable Quote: "God's not asking us to be angels. God's asking us as human beings to try to do a little bit better today than we did yesterday."…

But I think certainly the growth pattern of Jewish students on campus, despite the anger and despair and hopelessness that many of us have felt over the last nine months - at the same time, it's incredible to see the way in which so many of our Jewish students grew up in just a matter of months."
