The Echo of 19th Century Anti-Semitism: TFJ The Birth of Israel
Feb 24, 2021
20:11
Bowing to pressure, in 1906 the French military cleared Dreyfuss and had him readmitted to the army. After centuries of discrimination and expulsions, Zionism becomes a revolution to afford Jews a land that they may call home. Story of the voyage of the damned: the SS St. Louis.

FDR’s State Department, and the visa division in particular, headed by Breckinridge Long, adopted a policy of overt anti-semitism and kept the doors of the United States sealed to refugees whose life depended upon escaping Europe. MacDonald beseeched FDR to condemn the Nazi treatment of Jews to no avail.

The assault on Jews in college campuses and even in front of synagogues mandates a firm reaction, especially in light of the fact that the government national and local has been quick to condemn, but has offered no other relief. Some bright Jewish minds have rallied on behalf of those under threat, relying primarily on title six of the Civil rights Act of 1964. So far these suits have not borne a huge harvest. Rabbi Dr. Moshe Goldfeder of the National Jewish Advocacy Center – and so much more – explains in this episode how he has expanded the tool box of ways to effectively protect Jews on and off campus.

After Israel's stunning and unpredictable victory (especially from the Arab perspective) in the War of Independence, there was a colossus of bruised pride in the Arab World. To answer the heretofore imponderable, "How could Israel have been victorious?" a narrative emerged, "We did not lose because Israel was strong, but rather because our leaders were weak." The search began for strong military men who could restore Arab dignity, and the undisputed rising star was Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt. Nasser was a pan-Arabist who maintained that Arabs were born for greatness and should have had one of the most enduring empires, had they not been victims of colonialism. A Soviet shift in the 1950s pushed them from allies of Israel to adversaries. President Eisenhower, with the very strong support of his Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, decided to be stronger aligned with the Arab side in the conflict.

TFJ Season 5 Episode 4 Israel’s War of Independence Concluded with Four Armistice Arrangements
Apr 30, 2025
20:05
Why Four, and why not a peace treaty? All of this will be explained in this episode that details the difference between an armistice and a peace treaty. Israel’s warring neighbors were battered and humiliated in Israel’s War of Independence, which they were so confident would result in Arab triumph. Exhausted and losing ground by the day they wished to conclude the war, but how do you arrive at an agreement with an enemy that you do not recognize. Ultimately, that is what an armistice can accomplish. Learn more at TellerFromJerusalem.com Don’t forget to subscribe, like and share!

Do we have historical or archaeological evidence that these things happened? 11:30 - We know that it is forbidden to ‘put a stumbling block before the blind’. Would this also apply to giving someone food of a lower standard of kashrut than you would personally eat? 16:20 - What is the significance and effect of mourner’s kaddish? 22:00 - Can women say kaddish? 24:20 - Can a convert say kaddish for a non-Jewish parent? 26:10 - There seems to be a contradiction in how the Torah views money. On the one hand, the Torah says that one who has possessions will have worry; on the other hand, money is celebrated when it is given as a donation to the yeshiva. 31:40 - If I could know for certain that I could be a successful business person 34:50 - There is a torah prohibition against Beged Isha. A man wearing a woman’s item of clothing. This has been extended to plucking hairs or dying hairs. However, we have a principle that what is deemed ‘woman’s behaviour’ changes with the era in history. Could this permit plucking hairs and the like? 38:00 - Is Beged Isha the reason why religious women do not wear pants? 39:00 - What percentage of men need to practice a behaviour in order to for it be permissible in regard to the prohibition of Beged Isha? 40:40 - What is the significance of Ana BoKoach and why do we say it during Sefiras HaOmer? 44:00 - How do we relate to stories of Gedolim that are beyond us? 51:00 - Banned Books and Boruch Epstein 58:00 - Why did Volozhin yeshiva close? 1:00:10 - Men and Women touching is usually forbidden but is mutar in professional settings. Is it fitting to be machmir in such professional settings? 1:02:45 - Sexual Harassment and the modern-day relevance of Halachic boundaries on male-female interactions 01:07:30 - What is the purpose for Aggedata in the Gemara? Is it all literally true? 01:18:40 - What is Geula? Is it physical or spiritual, personal or national? 01:22:00 - Is the son of Cohen and a convert a Cohen? 01:23:30 - Is the child of a woman who converted during pregnancy Jewish by descent or a convert? 01:25:30 - What is the Torah view on Progressive Income Tax? 01:28:45 - Why do they play music before candle-lighting during Sefira? 01:31:00 - Should we be more lenient in Halacha in the interest of achdus(unity)? 01:35:00 - Is it a problem to say hamapil in pajamas? What about talking after hamapil? You can listen to this and many other Ohr Somayach programs by downloading our app, on Apple and Google Play, ohr.edu and all major podcast platforms.

Hatikva is unique among national anthems. A maid employed by the French military found a memo in the trash in the German embassy in Paris with military secrets. The French Minister of War connected the document – despite not a shred of evidence – to a Jewish artillery captain, Alfred Dreyfuss, who subsequently was convicted of spying and denounced as a traitor. This set off anti-Jewish rioting, similar to blood libels, which also made no sense, but were lethal and costly for innocent Jewish victims. This was a tipping point for a reporter covering the trial named Theodore Herzl. Generous Baron Maurice de Hirsch refused to contribute to Herzl’s plan which he considered a fantasy. Eventually, as Daniel Gordis points out, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Herzl. “Better luck next time” wasn’t an option, and the need to improve resulted in Der Judenstaat. When things look catastrophic there is often a silver lining, case in point: The Auschwitz Protocols. As Dreyfuss languishes on Devil’s island, Emil Zola comes to his rescue by publishing, J’accuse. The most important work on sparking antisemitism, the fictitious Protocols of the Elders of Zion, finds an enthusiastic supporter and disseminator in America, car magnate, Henry Ford.
