Get out of May 40 here hanging out at Shelley Beach in Manly and Been watching the World Cup Remember how it like rushes like about the worst nation out there and With Putin's new restrictions that Putin's Russia is now approaching Nazi and Stalinist levels of terror That's that's where I'm hearing from from our elites and yet Russia held the last World Cup did it not in 2018 No, it nowhere near the crazy kinds of restrictions and interference with the The press and limits on where you could go and limits on what you could say and limits on photos you could take right, so Russia was just like any other first world nation The 2018 World Cup But 20 22 and Qatar or sorts of ridiculous restrictions being imposed seems to be emblematic of how primitive repressive medieval The Arab Islamic world is like it and how far it has to go to catch up to the rest of the world so very disturbing story I found in the Washington Post guys not sure if you you realize this but The LGBTQ community shooting wasn't first instance of hate in Colorado Springs This blew me away. I thought for sure it was the first instance of hate But Apparently they'd experienced hatred before my god So they equate like this shooting with other examples of hatred Like Club Q was diamond Kobe linsky's first gay bar right, so this is diamond is is Presumably male-female trans but they tried out drag as a teenager dancing and lip-syncing Is where they came for their first drink That's nice where they rang in birthdays with their adoptive family Lesbian couple that took them in after childhood in foster care Yeah, you'd think hate didn't date back very far, but then you read the shocking headline Absolutely in the Washington Post Like this was their chosen family of bartenders their drag performers and other Upstanding members of the LGBTQ community who gathered like Club Q in Colorado Springs now it's become a crime scene and This is forced mr. Miss Kobolinski to ponder Just how integral this venue for queer life has been it's a beacon in a place once known as hate city All right, did you know that Colorado Springs was was known as heart city Club Q was my everything safe spaces a number. That's the biggest shock meant something. This was a safe space Okay So let's say other communities tried to create their own safe spaces so Catholics create communities where only Catholics are welcome. They Jews create communities where any Jews are welcome Blacks create communities where any blacks are welcome as imagine the whites create communities where any whites are welcome Would that also be glorified as a safe space? well, this is One of one of the only gay bars in Colorado second largest city So Colorado Springs, man, it is a hateful place and they have a limited number of gay bars Did you imagine living in a city that only has like Five gay bars. Just imagine how absolutely stultifying that would be Did you know that Club Q was a welcoming haven for free expression one of the capitals of American conservatism? Thank God for the left out there fighting for free expression What's the all-in cost of an Aussie junket such as this look? so the key to my Aussie junket is Ludging ludging off my friends and my relatives, right? So I'm not paying anything for rent. I'm paying anything for hotels I just have minimal expenses. I'm just Paying for my food. That's it. So my my plane ticket for direct flights was something like 2100 Yeah, Milo was photographed with Kanye. So Milo is always Where the action that's happening he interned for Marjorie Tyler Taylor Green He's always the next new thing in populism, so I spent about 2100 for my plane tickets Then I'm probably spending 20 25 dollars a day for food I'd say 20 dollars a day for food and I'm spending about a dollar a day for public transport and And that's it excessive sponging. Yeah Ludging is the Australian profession where you're living off other people When I tell people this in Australia, they say well, that's what families for to to bludge after So anyway, this tight-knit LGBTQ community They experienced Club Q as a heave in for free expression Well, if you get to choose who you hang out with you can have free expression I have free expression when I go to an orthodox synagogue. I can talk about almost anything At my favorite orthodox synagogues. So you allow people to choose who they hang out with and free expression just Wondrously miraculously appears you don't even have to put any effort into it, but we destroyed freedom of association with 1960s civil rights laws to now only Sacred groups get to have Safe spaces and freedom of expression the rest of us have to Now put out with all sorts of unwanted diversity and unwanted restrictions on speech Because we're not part of a sacred group like the LGBTQ community They get to have safe spaces They get to have free speech Wish wish the rest of us did too Do you know that Colorado Springs was struggling to move past its label as ground is zero The evangelical push to limit gay rights It's just a tendentious way of phrasing things right evangelical push to limit Gay rights Right is a reaction to the incredible expansion of gay rights and the preservation of safe spaces for evangelical Christians So who is this worse optics for Milo or Kanye? I have no idea. I can't Kanye doesn't make any sense to me. So someone I can relate to Milo Sometimes makes sense to me. I Can't take either of them terribly seriously But this notion that Right, Colorado Springs is ground zero for the evangelical push to limit gay rights When you keep expanding rights, you hamper the rights of other groups, right? You expand LGBTQ rights, right? You're limiting You're limiting rights for Christians. Yeah, they're helping each other circle the drain All right, you expand their rights for minorities that comes at the expense of the majority It's not like rights is just something you can endlessly expand But for different groups and there's never going to be a backlash Yeah, the mile-high air compromises thought processes But just imagine They they do this this article and a headline for LGBT community shooting wasn't first instance of hate in Colorado Springs So essentially they're equating evangelical Christians trying to maintain their own safe spaces with this mass murder And we don't even know a motive for this attack But this spur of violence has punctuated a wave of rising anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and laws People trying to stand up for their own safe spaces for their own religion for their own communities Their own way of life All right, they they are responsible for the spate of you know anti-LGBTQ violence All right for a city whose recent history has been sullied by three decades of political attacks on transgender and gay people over Spousal benefits non-discrimination rules and even the ability to start high school clubs. There's felt like a punch in the gut Okay, so I'm not sure that Colorado Springs history has been sullied by these things. So These are political attacks Why why is LGBTQ rights expansion not a political attack on traditionalist and heterosexuals Why is limiting the ability to start high school clubs and limiting the ability of grooming? of kids so these anti-bullying clubs are usually grooming clubs Why is limiting the ability of groomers there is some spate of hatred? Spousal benefits. Okay. Well, someone's got to pay for those benefits If society doesn't recognize heterosexual marriage is special then Who knows what moral chaos will descend from that? when you just dispense with millennia old ways of organizing Community and families that we've never had a gay marriage before in human history until recently You think you can just dispense with this And there are no dangers So the LGBT community says we've made great strides Right these great strides become at a tremendous price, right? You would not have had the AIDS explosion You would not have had the AIDS explosion if not for the expansion of LGBTQ rights how often expending rights for a group plays into many of its worst impulses and It's not good for the group at the The backlash against police and policing since the murder of George Floyd has been really bad for much of the black community It's led to an explosion of crime an explosion of murder Explosion of pedestrian deaths and driving deaths as police support back from doing their job All right The black community has suffered the biggest increases in murder and traffic deaths and pedestrian deaths Should we urge anyone who makes a living off of victim point anything related to it? No, I just think we should try to limit it limit the legal Incentives to file in a victim hood lawsuits I don't think you can have a group identity without a substantial element of victim hood, but we can Shift society so that Public expressions of victim hood aren't rewarded. All right right now. We're rewarding lawsuits of victim hood and public expressions of victim hood and We can discourage that so victim hood was a key part of group identity in the 1950s and the 1850s and the 1750s Just wasn't encouraged by society So gay and transgender residents describe Colorado Springs as a difficult place to be out Some citing reading recent episodes of discrimination and hate crimes. Well what about Those who have a traditional understanding of life try to maintain that are they not suffering discrimination and hate crimes their traditional way of life is urinated on So I'm not sure that it's the Jews who've mastered the quintessence of victim hood I think it's pretty much Jews have taken their cues from blacks and then blacks are taking their cues from Jews and LGBTQ community and women taking their cues from blacks and Jews So I think everyone's gotten into the victim hood game. I Think the pioneering group were African-Americans and then Jews took their cues from African-Americans the Jews also Play this venture role in the blacks of rights campaign as they saw it as Good good for the Jews So did you know that Colorado is once infamous for its anti-LGBTQ laws of these so-called anti-LGBTQ laws The simply attempts to maintain freedom of association So that you could hire who you wanted that you could rent out your property to who you wanted that you could form the type of community that you wanted The expansion of rights for one group that comes at an enormous price for other groups So Washington Post story from around 1990 says that Colorado Springs has developed a reputation for intolerance and venomous values based politics You can't have a safe space without intolerance Club Q is intolerant of Any anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and behavior And so one group trying to maintain its values will inevitably feel like intolerance and you know venomous Politics to another group So focus on the family is one of the largest most influential groups arrive Colorado Springs that propose the same-sex marriage and promotes conversion therapy Widely discredited practice to propose to cure great and transgender people. I know is it really widely discredited? So plenty of therapists and psychiatrists have had success Helping people who want to abstain from particular types of sex It's not so much a cure, but it's a practical behavioral abstention Right, they want to maintain their place in society They want to maintain their solid family life. And so they want to maintain there's They want to maintain their marriage by avoiding reckless promiscuity We're going to bathhouses It's underneath us always says a queer studies scholar at the University of Colorado and Colorado Springs the military Religious organizations they're cultivating things that may inspire place like Colorado Springs to be the next target of a mass shooting Really Now we don't even know why this mass shooting took place We do know that a judge let this guy out and he should be in prison if we just locked up these super predators I kept them in prison But we wouldn't have these mass shootings But apparently the presence of the military and religious organizations are there just bubbling up underneath the next hate crime so important political movement came in 1992 conservative activists rallied in support across the state for ballot measure known as amendment to Out of the closet state constitution preventing municipalities from passing gay rights protections Well by preventing municipalities from passing gay rights protections means you maintain freedom of association For other groups right you maintain safe spaces for evangelical Christians and people who wanted To be selective in who they hired and who they rented to so this vote was successful All right, the people voted for it. They approved the amendment Even as they voted for democratic Bill Clinton Then four years later the US Supreme Court declared the amendment unconstitutional Now the people voted democracy spoke People wanted to maintain freedom of association But that's all over ruled by the courts great wonderful People can say what they want, but in the end the courts will rule and they'll let you know what is permissible Look at this wonderful lizard. It's like a dinosaur. That's smaller Democracy for me, but not for the yeah remember when we We passed Proposition 187 in California Jesus Christ Is he gonna eat me? Why is he approaching me? Do you think he do you think he'd bite me?  We're live on YouTube, I don't I don't have any food he's Probably being fed too often by people. I don't think they're poisonous Sure But come on mate So who's who's more scared right now? So there was a there was a bigger one and a smaller one It's our reptilian overlords. It's the lizard people and as long as he doesn't come back with the bigger version welfare dependent lizards snakes For some reason So the beamers kind of similar to the pulpit in in Protestantism, it's where Rabbi speaks it's where they unroll the Torah scrolls and read aloud from them It's where the Kazan the cancer leads the prayers usually in the middle of the synagogue and It's in front of the holy Ark we are on Kodesh where they keep the Torah scrolls It's confusing in my mind with Rome Here's what Rome looks like you can see it. They moved it down It used to be that the the BMO was right in front of our Kodesh like in the Jewish Center But the number of years ago they moved it So it's in front I guess you could call that Yes Well, I was also there right at the West side, but it's so it's been over 20 years And it's just I want to give you an example of how you always have to check So I thank you because in my mind I was remembering it I was in front of the stage and it's not and that's so this is a perfect example of what There we'll see the rebounding we're speaking about when the BMO was moved to the front, which is very church like Although as we'll see the case of mission So the Bima the pulpit and Judaism is usually kind of in the center of the synagogue It's not up front like a pulpit. Yeah, the lizard heard the Jewish accent Maybe associated it with affluence and food Why is it coming on to me like this? Doesn't see a problem with it at all. Wow That's the first thing I want to mention Thank you for the questions and the corrections. I always appreciate one of those things that bother me in that show This I pulled in this book last week from a dog in Cohen. If you notice his name is Cohen, but it's really calm He's not a Cohen, but in English. They write it as Going He's a well-known rabbi flapush Oh say I have to say when the History of the sexual abuse that you was finally rented you will come out very well because It does seem like now there's been a change at least not the elder Younger generation Like in the 50s early 60s of the Harini world is finally taking it seriously after it's already been a generation decades but it needs to be said that Dr. Cohen already decades ago was saying that you've got sexual abuse He got him right to the police and there were people hating him because that He was you know what they're people said all sorts of bad things about him But when the history is finally written an honest history How the orthodox clearly responded to child abuse? It's gonna be very hard to rate the honest history because the agudas circles will not want to let their archives open And what they did to prevent It will go into the police and things coming out of David Cohen on this issue See what you will about other issues on this issue. He from the beginning stood up against his own community and Was saying to do the right thing so the yasha co-op to David Cohen I Mentioned my name last week Ellie malech and I just repeat a malech That's right. I repeated the story Everyone says that the first Ellie Melch is Ellie Melch and was Jax and I said check the Oats are about you The Oats are about him as a book I have here which It's More than pages it says that it lists every rabbi in ever in history of any significance So I looked at it and it's not exact There is I count to Ellie Melch none of whom are at all significant Before Ellie Melch a legents, so I think you need to say that from a belly Melch a legents Then the name became popular not that it's first and then I had a an email I'm also saying that from Mike and from But also it's like some examples from before but so if you want to be exact We can say that the name Ellie Melch didn't exist, but it wasn't popular in terms of names someone asked me What do I have to say about? You know non-Jewish names so we spoke about non-Jewish names is a cheever of a motion about this We spoke at many times about this about the names like car phone And even the name my mom and others so I don't need to repeat that But I will say as well And the lizard is mimicking with behavior among him and less transient drug addicts load it long enough like the gives Maybe maybe he wants the lusher is this an example of maladaptive survival behavior Anyone not moving through the area might be there to fatten Fatten his belly. Maybe he sees me as a peer Yeah, and this lizard is close doesn't he realize how dangerous I am Which I You know my daughter's name is yeah, I don't think I've ever mentioned this so I'll say it for the uncle the ending states I Even printed out just I have for you. I don't want to check it's be Ross mcdowell section Evan bochen page Section number 14. He says that yet now Even though she wasn't so they get it looks like an Australian water dragon So how dangerous are these like is my life at risk here? I don't like the idea of going eyeball to eyeball with a dragon Watch game of thrones. It doesn't usually end up. Well, yes Well, hi, sir. Yes, he says that the L was not Jewish So yeah, L is a character in the early books of the Bible Who goes to bed with the Gentile general Cicera like that and kills him in his sleep. She seduces him and that feeds him and then she kills him Yeah, damn, I hope this lizards being vaccinated loop forward father of water dragons I don't know where he gets that all the other sources assume. She was the whole discussion about the fairer wish well Assume she was very up-vendant for reasons. I'm not sure if any of you can relate to me as to why he says this He doesn't say why he actually repeats this in his meat pockets Farid, which is this attack on the Zora He says that yet L not only is the L not a Jewish name. Yeah, L was not Jewish. I don't know Jewish is not the best term in those days Israel I guess you could say because Jewish is from the tribe of you God, but that's what he says. He says he's trying to eat I find that unusual and in terms of names Robbie Thank you for writing to me. I have to What Robbie says I knew what Robbie said, but I forgot I'd never pay attention to Robbie's Englishman I've mentioned many times see so it looks well fed doesn't he look at that enormous belly Yeah, look how it's like moving in and out with his breath. It's very well fed As any Englishman knows it's not Cecil it's Cecil just like roads Cecil roads So I didn't know that but what can I say as an American I just keep announcing it incorrectly, so I will try I Will try from now on to call him by his name Cecil Roth Since that's how he called himself. Well, though. We have plenty of examples of how we refer to people not exactly how they called themselves Hold my hand out like a third and see if he comes.  Jesus is he coming for me? You can move fast when it needs to the person who pointed out that in Hungarian its temple for synagogue I wanted to see if this don't continue. So I we're gonna be seeing you by Oberlander rather Budapest this Wednesday and he says that although among the other generation they're now saying synagogue As they don't want to use her temple. He says his mother He's from a papakha seeded group. She would still he says No, I'm pretty sure of his it's not kosher I just I just sense he's giving me the evil eye a sense that he can see right through me a sense that Like he knows who I am He knows what I've done knows the things that I've said and he's not happy with me You get the sense. He's not happy with me So I find that very interesting that in Hungary that was one of the words they used for a synagogue Oh, I have a few more minutes so quick. I could say what I wanted to show you And then I won't have anything else this takes us back to last semester With Ramosha feinstein and Recycling hollow on his last night lonely hold I found Ramosha holds that he's very much against the brister world's position He says stay in the show. If it's not your mental look, we're gonna have this in two months Stay in say how well we don't say with the brother Mr. Love we saw he's not into that sort of thing. You don't say you're not supposed to say how well don't say how well No, you don't do it because it's just you don't just do it. So he won't walk out it in this book The ma'amel a growth the attack on There's a boycott against this book Which I think is wrong. It's true the author is a much itself and he speaks disrespectfully about Ramosha But he makes many good points It's full of learning Every time he puts it he says that the author should have spoken with more respect to Ramosha I understand when the book came out. It's it was just like the gross motion the same publisher in fact When the printer was printing it he realized what it was and he called Ramosha and he said this is recording in the biography of Ramosha You know, what should he do? Well, he has a contract and he doesn't want to print it Ramosha says you can print it, but you know because you lose money otherwise So he printed it and none of those foreign stores would carry it. I got my copy from the author himself It's not all right, but I got my copy But like I said, there's a boycott which I think is wrong because it's it's it's a part of October history. There's a lot of learning in it And if we're gonna start censoring I understand because Ramosha is closer to our time We knew Ramosha, but at the end of the day if we're gonna start censoring all the books and say disrespectful things I just mentioned about the vending for him if you don't like shit He says disrespectful things about lots of people. Are we gonna start censoring the Torah literature the Satmerebi what he says for shock I mean, you can't start. I don't believe in cancel culture making the Torah world. So But it's a collector's item. I can tell you that and I do have a PDF of it because some I think this is by a Satmere guy made a PDF of it, but I'm selling I am Gimmel he goes against Ramosha. He's always going against Ramosha either Ramosha is too lenient or Ramosha is too strict. Ramosha can never get it right But he has all children here say that no, there's nothing wrong with saying hello if you're in a show where they say it with a brahup, you go ahead and say it with Much of it. This is great. We are cleansing our souls in the waters of Torah Refreshing on the summers our souls here in the world Springs of Torah from the good doctor historian rabbi Mark Shapiro Hanging out at Shelly Beach looking at her. Is this an Australian water dragon? Just give me the evil eye There's no problem That big one The big one in the middle We also spoke The first class I believe in this series about violating Shabbat for Ramosha sent me also tells this great story for Rabbi Reeves That once on some over the rough was learning with a bunch of students and the phone rang and of course Oh, the phone rang and the rough gets up and he goes to the next room and he picks it up He starts speaking on the phone on young toes The rough comes back and he sees the students of course The wrong is not my problem But he told them the story is follows that Before he went to before I went to show a non-Jewish neighbor rings the doorbell and he tells them that he has a telegram for a soul of age Soul they check says to them, you know, we don't open it so and I'm just sober.  The high in hell was in Lakewood over Yom Tov and it became quite ill and the doctor says he immediately needs to Have an operation and he did not want to have this operation without consulting with some of a check So the power of soul so they check was speaking to a high in hell where that was regarded as I don't know But it was a serious matter and that's the story that Bill told make it give a telegram on age 101 He records his role by shirking or Michael shirking also students Well, the villain bone about a certain side I guess maybe more than one you could find a job is to get a rock off on him and Ramosha fights in his life in the egress Moshe volume eight O'rachiam number says that you can write a camea on Shabbos if person will die Ramosha in other words if the person Feels that he means he needs this camea you can do it and the last thing I'll mention We've not come a bit of it. She needs to go to see a lot of him. He goes even further He says that social workers are allowed to travel on Shabbos If there's a terrorist attack if they could The equivalent of a hole that she is post a kind also write a camea on Shabbos First a lot for a woman who just gave birth to Let me be a permission. So let's pick up this time here. We're talking about Israel Jacobson and David Friedlander reformers the last thing I was talking about was Israel Jacobson Zizn his synagogue there and he says as follows why create a reform service He says well, who would dare deny that our service is sick Because of many useless things and as you're saying all this stuff in the prayers that are useless I don't know what he considers useless. So what's not you know what type of a lizard this is Yeah He's got me calling it Looks like a dinosaur. I don't know it. He's just scaring me He looks like 10 million years old and there's a little low one as well There's a there's one that's like smaller like the baby So maybe this is the father and the mother and then they've got a baby I'm the grandfather. I'm the grandfather of dragons He doesn't look starving either does he they're well fed Yeah, there's a little They don't seem nervous do they Take care Bye It's not bad being the father of dragons What should we name this bloke? I presume this is the Sheila This is the bloke I think that Mark Shapiro's teachings have a calming effect on them And it kills devotion more than it encourages it and that limits our religious principles to that fund of knowledge Which for centuries has remained in our treasure house without increase or without a nobleman So he says it kills devotion. It's a faultless restation prayers and formulate now This is something obviously the Orthodox struggle with as well. No one can deny that people You know as I said, it's a routinization. So the Orthodox is trying to make it We don't cut things out unless they're like matters that are not really essential to the dog I'm in his territory where he keeps his females no a dragon Yeah, there's a there's a little one I'm wondering if this is the father mother and baby Yeah, they look well fed, you know, they're not starving. Are they eat well? I think that neck blows out when he needs to I don't know why he can Make it make himself look really scary with it And they look like dinosaurs Yeah, like a relic from the past. Oh Geez, I hope they're not poisonous. I have I'm still here when you come back What do you want mate and your territory, buddy Performers is they often had a good diagnosis What was going on there? There's solutions were the problems but of course there's a diagnosis that That the people find certain aspects of the service long and boring and we've made changes when I want to eat good I've said it numerous times just look at the dish above that you have today They compare that to one when you're growing up right sitting show for as a youngster Hours and hours What's a 12 to 13 year old? Angels, so but that's you know, there's a lot of principles as well The reformers I'm not so concerned about that Thousand years We need some changes in terms of You'll make it seem as only the reformers because there's a video of an interview. There's a guy He deals with bicycle kids. I can find I forget his name And he interviews a special chapter and he says that a lot of our high schools the kids come in They don't want you over just over the teenagers teenagers, you know They're not so into it often sort of chapter says to it. So then they don't have to doubt it all this And I don't know the person was a little surprised. So what should they do sure chapter says this is okay He says cut out this customer. So December I think he says you rush over and then go watch He says then go to breakfast creators. He cuts out So it's like a 15 minute or even less 10 minutes off of it And this is not some reformer. This is a chapter saying for these kids It's better to say a few things with come on out of their minds. So my time they get this spot They're still thinking of the sports game from the night before they've been thinking for the last 10 minutes So so this is you know, the post saying for chapter saying that You know for those people we're not so much so clear shows problematic that but for the high school kids and Kids who are up to it and I was I found that interesting that Every chapter said that I didn't know I wish I could come out a dragon. Okay. Are they poisonous? Poison in the closet great great. I can't wait. Okay. I don't think I want to come between them Originally here, but California mainly Oh What a dragon beauty dragon That looked forward to them getting their claws on me And a single dragon could ruin your whole day Just a frill neck lizard And the gamma family you can tell by the head Don't they look like dinosaurs? Wonder what they've come to Know what they've come to teach us Maybe they have a message you might be thinking that Well, we've added a great deal to tone Judaism in recent years, but from a Jacobson's point Nothing is new everything just comes out of the same old sources And since we're living in a different era as we'll see we need entirely new concessions And if you know for bound to Jewish law And there's gonna be limits to what we can do so people like Jacobson aren't gonna be happy Now Jacobson also was concerned with fitting in remember at the synagogue the first The inauguration was full of non-Jews they too joined into the singing and everything I can tell you that at the inauguration of the show that I go to there were also non-Jews at the inauguration The mayor was there the assembly people and they didn't speak but they sat Actually, I should say at the mayor's But the rest of them just sat there. I remember the mayor spoke. He spoke very ecumen- Australian Eastern water dragon. Is that the consensus? Is that the science? Want to fit in with the science here? All our houses of worship and everything and very nice Well, we didn't have psalms or hymns that we sang together with them, but Jacobson says as follows He says that parts of the Jewish prayer service and the rituals are offensive to reason Because they offend us so we say things that we don't accept we don't believe it and then he says as well Also to our Christian friends So Mark Shakira is this great scholar a great academic and I was taken aback when I was into one of his lectures Where he talked about how he's kind of offended that there was this reformed Jewish day school named after rushy He didn't think that rushy was a good representative of reformed Judaism, but rushy was a 12th 13th century Jewish commentator wrote commentaries on the Talmud and on the Torah But I think it all depends on where you're coming from like Mark Shapiro has been mononorthodox his whole life So from his mononorthodox perspective rushy is not a good representative of reformed Judaism But if you believe that reformed Judaism is true, you can suddenly look at rushy's life and see oh, yeah It does it does kind of reflect reformed Judaism So it's kind of taken aback where Mark said he was offended by the idea of a reformed Jewish day school named You know the rushy score. I am 56 years of age I've never been offended in my life. So the name of the school is not going to offend me So this is going to be driving reform Also that they need to fit in not just in their understanding of what it means to be a modern person But they don't want to do things that non-Jews will look at and say well, that's retrograde or that's backwards later In his speech of inauguration and speaking to the Christians he says well There is nothing in this this new temple that in any way contradicts the principles of pure religion of the demands of general morality Okay, so pure religion according to whom so this is 19th century Germany which is Largely a Protestant right so Protestantism's religion of the heart a religion of creed a dogma theology of Faith Right, so pure religion from a Protestant perspective is faith but pure religion from a Catholic or a Jewish perspective it is behavior is ritual It is community of a your humanitarian attitude was we today in 2002 We would never say to the non-Jews if we you know dedication of our shoulders Nothing that we do in the year that's not position to your humanitarianism And we wouldn't feel the need to say that everything we do in here is in accord with Pure religion with general morality that we assume that everyone knows that synagogues we're interested in morality But you see that in the early part of the 19th century He needs to stress that we're not different than you we do our moral and we're not this synagogue I like those other synagogues as a synagogue where Christian can come and feel brotherhood with the Jews because we all Worshiping the one you want so right you want to join forces with you know some other group or Emphasize that you're not a threat to some other group when you're in the inferior position When you feel safe and secure then you have less desire to Form bonds and assure them that you're not a threat. So and Jews were very much the minority In Germany and felt concerned and afraid. Yeah, they wanted to make the argument that they want to threat But in the United States, you know Jews feel secure and safe and powerful and They don't feel the same need to placate Christians that they did in 19th century Germany It's like the war between religion and science now Religious leaders are very intent on saying there's no contradiction between religion and science That's because science is one all those battles. And so this is a way for religious leaders to Give up the fight that they were losing Do There is Number of examples, I'll just give you some of them now we're posting total leaders have said that because of how things look to the guy in We should not do it Let me give you a few examples Should have asked what made the same you know, this is a couple weeks ago. We should probably have Rome in Rome Before the mid-18th 19th century one of the practices they used to do was they would drag the coffin Rapids only rabbis. They would drag the coffin and this was thought to be a form of penitence This is based on the idea that the risky Give pennies to us wicked father drag his father's bones. So they would drag the coffin and This is something this created problems because the non-Jews look at this this is And then they dumped it into the they do let it down nicely into the grave They actually push it in and this was like skewed Okay, so when when that awful day comes that I will pass on from this world Really don't want you to drag my body through the streets, right? So don't treat me like a great rabbi now. I'll be fine with just a traditional service For something and in fact, it's I think even Rome would do all four all four types of punishments after their death. It was a whole Forming what they did as a form of penitence now this created negative feelings among the non-Jews Okay, so now that I've converted to Judaism I've largely forgotten how the non-Jew things would could you be offended if you saw a bunch of Jews like dragging a dead body?  I mean only did it every like 40 50 years once so it wasn't such a big deal Nevertheless, it was mocked during the carnival performances in Rome and In fact for over 200 years the Jews of Rome asked the various popes to Forbid the performances where they used to mock at the Jewish funeral premises And was a who was finally abolished by the Jews in the 19th century because they had a rabbi there He was the brother of Rome. He wasn't from Rome. He was from Eretz Israel. He came to Rome His name was from Yisro Moshechazan He wrote a volume of Chuvot a very interesting volume called the Cruxial Rome Rabbi Professor Josef War has a whole book on Yisro Moshechazan very fascinating figure off the hook in his response at number 13 He talks about how contrary to what the general me had was a simple person Chazan calls him Pashunach the simple person said he also wanted to be given me The Dalai Lama sources based it.  You actually drag the body but I I'm pretty certain that that's my recollection that it's they dragged the coffin not about the body Because they do bury coffins in Rome You're gonna drag him and drag him in through the cemetery which goes to the non-Jews neighborhoods And every show Moshechazan says we did it with the big rabbis. It was a very uncommon thing but now So on Corum which comes from the book of Esther against some Jewish communities. They they hang up effigies of Haman and his sons And so part of the non-Jews don't appreciate, you know, the hanging of of effigies in their neighborhood Simple people want to do this and that's gonna create a mockery for Judaism If we now have good relations with the Christians, can you imagine what that's gonna do when they see us dragging You know dead people through the streets. It's gonna make us. He says seeing white barbarians in their eyes And therefore he obnoxious Is this a valid concern? Are we supposed to hold to our practices because of the non-Jews? We don't stop doing this because the non-Jews, but there are other sources like now similarly That never gets to be a time when you can just ignore How your behavior is going to be received by other people, right? You can never be so secure or so successful They're so strong, so happy. You can just be completely oblivious to how outsiders view what you're doing right, so If you form any sort of connections with a group it's going to take on, you know, some court-like behaviors, so the way to transcend this is to keep, yeah, one foot in your group, but also consider how things look No for an outsider. And so here's Here's the Here's the baby Not the lizard on the run The dragon in the making and this place is just teeming with them Rosh-bash, Rosh-bash is Shomo Denshimo Durea, 15th century 15th century Algeria He responds to a community where the mithog was when he went to the show and took off their shoes We know that's what they did outside the city, for example, the villages, they did that. Did they get this from the Muslims? This was a sign of respect It could be. I can tell you that right now in germany, and by the way, I'm going, I'm going back to germany I showed the week after shows I was going to announce to everyone one day that we're the first uh Kosher tour from america, everyone in germany will only hold my friend and my contact Tell me, I spoke to him last week, the group just left, a group of Hasidim, 17 Hasidim Showed up in Tunisia last week, and uh, they're the first Kosher tour And in their old garb and everything, the Hasidim there, uh, so uh, but I can tell you that in every single show in germany, you go to Garam Polish And I had to cover it, I had to tell everyone, like they have to take their shoes off And in the famous show in germany, the Gariba show, the big one there Everyone takes their shoes off before you go in the show So you're all doffeting in the show, what doesn't matter? That's pretty rare that you have to take your shoes off to enter a synagogue Right, that's, I've never encountered that Of course you have to take your shoes off too So the whole show for now, for thousands of years, you've been taking your shoes off there So it is a, it's not a uh, I think it's uh, Rechayim Konevsky actually, or the same word, no it's Rechayim Konevsky He was asked about the practice, take your shoes off, and he says it's like from the Gali But it's not, they, we have it in Morocco, we know that they used to do it Well maybe originally it's from the Gali, but I mean it's been, a Jewish practice for so long That it's a valid Jewish practice So Rev, but he was asked about this, the Rashbash, there was a show Where some people insisted on taking your shoes off And other people said, no, you can't take your shoes off because this is, again, you're, you're imitating, uh I've got the lack of this thing, you're beauty What does the Rashbash say? And this is how he's, there's a few different doings And now you get to see both the, both Elizabeth and Fred But he's a major, major poski, he says you should take off your shoes And he says, precisely by taking off your shoes, you'll gain respect by the non-jews Because for the Muslims, the idea of going to Hassan worship and not taking off your shoes Was a sign of disrespect So, okay, so if we take off our shoes at synagogue, will that, that gain more respect from the non-jews Asking for a friend Taking off your shoes is against how, ah, there's good reason to take off your shoes, you could argue And therefore, now you can never imagine a Christian, a post-sacred Christian, and saying this, take off your shoes They would see this as really disrespectful, take off your shoes, take off your shoes, and you go to Shol That's, that's, that's a height of disrespect, but in the Muslim world, on the contrary, you have to have a good reason Not to take off your shoes, because in that world it was thought to be respectful to take your shoes off You know, like your Rambam says that before dovetailing, you're supposed to wash your feet And arrive at, on the spot there, he'll just feel us as what's going on here, what would you wash your feet, he doesn't, ah So it's a, it's a very different understanding, the Rambam has a famous example Take a look in the Chuvah Sarambam, number 258 That's the Chuvah where he deals with the practice of no-khazah or sashas And this continues in certain insatiable Portuguese, ah They don't do this on Shabbos in Musaf, ah You read it together, that is, you restart at the Shrine of Sharia, in Musaf, only in Musaf, so we'll probably do this Out loud, and then you get to Kedushan, and everyone Continue on your own You see what's doing sometimes, this is standard in Morocco Okay, I think that'll do it for now. Bye. Bye


Okay good afternoon folks, Larry Pesavento with the mid-morning update and we are looking at a market that is up on the day and also if we look at the price of gold is actually up a little bit but the big news is folks the treasury bonds are finally starting to move higher a little bit we'll cover that a little bit later but I posted the chart here now those of you that in the Tiger Dan you'll see that we've made a major 61 percent retracement in the E-mini S&P on Friday at 39.48 the low was 39.47.75 and we've rallied 70 handles off that bottom to meet meet the top up there at 40.20 we backed off a little bit but we're still up on the day just chopping around I just heard from Shane Smollion to alert me that there's been a geomagnetic storm one of the things that the Federal Reserve watches closely and that should put a tiny bit of pressure he thinks for the next day or two on the S&P but we'll find out whether that Shane will be our guest on Thursday as our guests for Thursday on Wednesday we're going to have Mike Moore more analytics because he is really nailed this crude oil market really nicely so we want to be watching him what he has looking forward to us because crude oil was up sharply during the day and then it's sold off towards the end of the day so we're getting a lot of volatility which we've been expecting for quite some time but those of you that do follow the treasury bond market make sure that you look at that treasury bond market folks because we hit the exact price at 123.14 last night around two o'clock in the morning Tucson time that would have been four o'clock New York time and since that time it's rallied well over $1,200 so that tells you that should be an important spot being an exact 61 percent retracement of the low that we made you know from the very beginning so remind ourselves folks it's not how much money you make it's how much money you don't lose that's the real key focus on how much you have to risk and you're going to be doing just fine in these markets but boy if you're not using a stop folks you're using one of the greatest insurance policies that you can possibly get it's an insurance policy against your failure and you're going to fail a lot but you're also going to be right a lot we'll be right back<PHONE_NUMBER>
