Tanach, Science, and Archeology

The Alef Bais of Emuna

The Hashkafa Series

Rabbi Jay Asher LeVine explores imaginative rabbinic readings of the Hebrew Bible. Each interpretation, called a "midrash", gives us insight into sacred stories from the Jewish tradition, and ultimately into the sacred story of our own lives.

26. Assorted Ideas on Death and the Afterlife

Bereishit Rabbah 93:3-4. Two takes on what it means that Judah approached Joseph to ask for mercy.

25. Expanding ‘Approach’

Bereishit Rabbah 89:4. Who needs Joseph? The midrash offers its own take on Pharaoh's dreams.

24. Decoding Pharaoh’s Dream

Bereishit Rabbah 88:4. The midrash discusses the meaning of ben zekunim "son of old age"; favoritism; and various meanings of ketonet passim "coat of passim".

23. Joseph’s Coat (feat. Rabbi Laura Rumpf)

Bereishit Rabbah 75:13 Jacob prays to God as he fearfully anticipates meeting his estranged brother Esau after decades apart.

22. Jacob Prays

News stories about antisemitic incidents, or perhaps even incidents we ourselves have experienced, have many Jews on edge right now. Our Torah portion for today tells the story of one of our patriarchs similarly on edge. The text of this podcast is available on our blog.

343. Antisemitism - December 2, 2023

Water is life. This week, Rabbi Janet Roberts led us in an exploration of our patriarchs Abraham, and then Isaac, securing water rights in the arid desert. There are surprising similarities between the two stories, but some real differences. too. The text of this podcast is available on our blog.

342. Isaac and Water Rights

When there are gaps in the biblical tales our Rabbis created stories—or midrash—based on Bible passages that fill in the gaps. One place our ancient Rabbis did that was about the relationship between Abraham and his first-born son, Ishmael, after the death of Sarah. But Jews are not the only people to do that; Muslims have also offered gap-filling stories, the Stories of the Prophets, about their heroes. This week Rabbi Jaech introduced us to the Islamic version about the the relationship between Abraham and Ishmael after the death of Sarah. The text of this podcast is available on our blog.

341. Ishmael - November 11, 2023

In her comments to our congregation, Rabbi Jaech stated that the terror Hamas unleashed in Israel on October 7 was evil, and that Hamas knew that innocent Palestinians would suffer. This week’s Torah portion, from the book of Genesis, contains the story of devastation of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah; places where, Abraham will argue, righteous people lived and will perish.  The text of this podcast is available on our blog.

TINW Torah Study

Madlik – Disruptive Torah thoughts from a post-orthodox Jew with a life-long love and appreciation of Jewish texts and a fresh and sometimes heterodox perspective on their meaning, intent and practical (halachic) implications.

Join Geoffrey Stern and Rabbi Adam Mintz recorded live on Clubhouse. God threatens to scatter the Israelites among the nations. The Septuagint, in its Greek translation, coins a new word, maybe a new concept. A Greek word used, not for migrants but to reference a people who identify with a specific geographic location, but currently reside elsewhere. The word is Diaspora, a seminal concept in Judaism and a word that has spawned such concepts as alienation, ethnicity, repatriation and redemption. Modern day Diaspora Studies may ignore the Jews but Disapora may lie at the heart of what is the enigma of the Jews… Sefaria source sheet: www.sefaria.org/sheets/567783  Transcript on episdode web page: https://madlik.com/2024/05/29/diaspora/ 

DIASPORA

Join Geoffrey Stern and Rabbi Adam Mintz recorded on Clubhouse.  This week’s parsha is Behar, which means “at the Mountain”. While Rabbi Mintz is not at the Mountain, he is in Israel and will share impressions of his recent visit to the only Haredi Hesder Yeshiva. The Talmud suggests that we set aside specific times for Torah study and we will use the Sabbatical year referenced in the parsha to focus on different ways that our tradition has offered for integrating study into civil society and military service.  Sefaria Source Sheet: www.sefaria.org/sheets/566480  Transcript on episode web page: https://madlik.com/2024/05/22/times-for-torah/ 

Times for Torah

Join Geoffrey Stern and Rabbi Adam Mintz recorded on Clubhouse.  We usually think of Tishrei and the Fall as a marathon of Jewish holidays, but if you count Rabbinic and Israeli holidays, the seven weeks of Spring win the holiday race with ease. Pesach, Yom Hazikaron, Yom Ha’atzmut, Pesach Sheni, Lag ba’Omer, Yom Yerushalyim and Shavuot. We use Leviticus 23 which has the most complete summary of Biblical holidays to explore the dynamic of adding new holidays and adding meaning to existing holidays. Sefaria Source Sheet: www.sefaria.org/sheets/564540  Transcript on episode web page: https://madlik.com/2024/05/14/ki-ba-moed-the-time-has-come/ 

Ki ba moed – the time has come

Join Geoffrey Stern, Rabbi Adam Mintz and special guest Rabbi Menachem Bombach recorded on Clubhouse. This year Yom Hazikaron; Israeli Memorial Day, will be different for many reasons and from many perspectives. We invite Rabbi Menachem Bombach, a maverick visionary in the Haredi community to join us for a conversation about the meaning, history and halachic significance of this day for Israelis in general and for the ultra-Orthodox in particular. Sefaria Source Sheet: www.sefaria.org/sheets/563501  Transcript on episode web page: https://madlik.com/2024/05/08/yom-hazikaron/ 

Yom Hazikaron - a conversation with Menachem Bombach

 This week’s parsha is Acharei Mot.. literally; After Death. From Rabbinic Judaism up until the present, we Jews “Choose Life”. Was it always so? Was it so obvious? Is it the secret sauce of Jewish survival? And…. Is it at the core of the current conflict? So many questions and only half an hour. Join us for Life Comes First recorded live on Clubhouse.  Source Sheet: www.sefaria.org/sheets/561608   Transcript on episode web page: https://madlik.com/2024/05/01/life-comes-first/

Teaching in a foreign country is a challenge. There will be hurdles along your way. Sometimes it’s missteps, mishaps, or little annoyances, like dealing with a rowdy student. Sometimes you’ll encounter a challenge that won’t be fun, no matter how you spin it...but you’ll be tougher for it. Other times you’ll find yourself in a situation you could never have imagined--so unexpected, so strange, that all you can do, really, is laugh it off.

Chapter 1

Leaving Poland for good, my mother travels looking for surviving family and friends. She finds very few, learns of the fate of many of them. Settling in a displaced persons camp in Wesbaden Germany, she meets my father and starts a new family before moving to America.

22_Wesbaden

Returning home after the war. My mother travels on foot and by train through war torn Germany and Poland. She finds other survivors, among them her younger sister Fay. Her homecoming is bitter sweet with the realization of how few survived and the hostile greeting the returning Jews received from the Polish townspeople.

21_Returning

The labor camp at Neustadt is unexpectedly liberated when the German guards abandon the labor camp. The Germans move west to excape the advancing Russian army.

20_Liberation

My mother spent the last few months of the war in the labor camp at Neustadt, which is near Hamburg.

The Bleeding Sky-Recollections of the Shoah

The path of return must be carefully trodden in order to find our way back to the land of our soul.
