Would you like to sponsor an episode? A series? We'd love to hear from you : [email protected] https://podcasts.ohr.edu/ 00:00 What is the basis of the Magen David? 01:46 What is the Torah view on liability of a self driving vehicle? 8:23 How important is pronunciation in the formula of tefilla? For example, many people don’t pronounce a moving shvah (like in Kedusha or Kaddish), or they misplace an emphasis, such as mezoinos instead of mezonos. Also, when we sing songs, like Lecha dodi or zemiros, or Shir hamalos, we might change the emphasis. Since difference nusachs exist, or people use modern Hebrew, etc…how does that work? 15:49 Do halachos of Rabbeim apply even in a time with no official smicha? 18:37 What response do we as Jews have to school shootings and how should we view gun policies? 23:03 What is the definition of divorce for non-Jews and how should we approach giving advice or otherwise? 28:30 The State of New York is attempting to strengthen oversight of Yeshiva education. Ostensibly, they want to enforce the "core" curriculum of math, science, and the like. If they were to stick to those issues, does a secular government have a right to insist on a population education in math, etc.? 35:19 How does the concept of a Shabbos Goy work? 42:14 Does maaris ayin apply in the case of eating heter mechira? 44:09 Could I put up a sign stating I’m a kosher Jew in a treyf restaurant? 47:05 How do we justify the idea that someone that has “chen” or grace, they have fear of Gd, but in Eshes Chayil, it states that chen is sheker or false? 51:18 What’s the rules on after-brachos? 54:35 How can someone understand the idea of uvdin d’chol or a “mundane activity” on Shabbos? 58:18 What is your halachic and legal take on halachic prenups? Do you think couples should get a halachic prenup? Do you think that the way people protested on social media and outside homes last spring is something that should be encouraged especially because many agunos received their gets that way? 1:10:26 There’s a new section in the Israel Museum about “magic” in Judaism and segulos—do we believe in them or not? 1:15:44 How do we understand going to a mikveh on Shabbos? 1:18:24 Why are the words RAH and REYAH so similar? 1:20:52 Where do the minhagim of black and white outfits and hats come from? 1:27:20 Why does the bracha for kiddush hat on on Friday night say “Vrozavanu” instead of “Vitzivanu” when seemingly every other bracha on a mitzvah contains the latter? 1:31:09 Why are Shabbos and kosher the main factors mentioned when discussing frumkeit? 1:34:25 Why do Talmudic rabbis use certain hermeneutical principles when inferring various laws?

At a Time that Every Jew in Europe faced Certain Death, the British Refused Entrance into Palestine
At a Time that Every Jew in Europe faced Certain Death, the British Refused Entrance into Palestine
Nov 17, 2021
24:56
TFJ Series 1 Episode 37 - The Birth of Israel When the British refused to allow 10,000 Jewish children to escape Europe and come to Palestine, it could not be that that they did not understand that barring their entry meant subjecting them to their annihilation. Images from Kristallnacht had been broadcast across worldwide media. And still Britain issued the White Paper agreeing to all of the Arab demands meaning that there would be no haven in Palestine for Jews fleeing for their lives and that the home for the Jews promised in the Balfour Declaration could not be realized. TFJ examines the plight of three doomed ships from this period which vividly highlight that Jews had nowhere in the world to escape to and the establishment of a Jewish state was a matter of life and death. As the British were unconcerned about this reality, Palestinian Jewry, most notably the Haganah, the precursor of the Israel Defence Forces, worked to smuggle in what the British deemed illegal immigrants. If they were caught, the British, ironically, like the Nazis, placed them in camps behind barbed wire.

Never Trust Your Chambermaid: TFJ Birth of Israel
Feb 10, 2021
23:46
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.

Teller From Jerusalem – Series 1 Episode 9 – The Birth of Israel For many Jewish leaders, the Kishinev Pogrom was transformative. To Herzl, Kishinev was further evidence that Jews desperately needed a home – wherever they could create it. Thus, when he spoke about Kishinev, he did not refer to it as an event or a place, but rather as a condition.

TFJ: The Birth of Israel - Episode 11 From the Bible it is clear that Israel is the natural soil that can nourish a Jewish soul. Assimilated Herzl was unaware of Jewish tradition and how inviolate the tradition that Jews must ultimately return to their ancient homeland. Herzl got nowhere with either the Sultan or the Kaiser; he therefore turned to the British for the keys to unlock Palestine.

TFJ: Series 1 Episode 15: The Birth of Israel Over six thousand gathered for Herzl’s funeral in Vienna. In 1949 the State of Israel honored Herzl’s request and brought his bones to be buried in the state that he envisioned. Assimilated Herzl did not appreciate the meaning of the Land of Israel to the Jews, and was more concerned about acquiring a pragmatic solution – even if it would not be in Israel. TFJ takes a look at other lands that were offered to the Jews such as Birobidzan in far-eastern Siberia. Herzl’s family did not follow in his path, leaving his legacy to be treasured by those who moved to the land that he foresaw.

TFJ: Series 1 Episode 21: The Birth of Israel At the beginning of the 1900s new settlers arrived in Israel who were very different from the earlier, pious settlers living in Israel. In garb, outlook and conduct the differences were vast, and it was Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, better known as Rav Kook who attempted to bridge the gap by not veering from tradition, but also not writing off the new immigrants. Rav Kook was exiled from Israel during WWI and spent the duration in London at the time of the Balfour Declaration. Jewish parliamentarians, afraid that they might be accused of dual loyalty for supporting the creation of a Jewish state in Israel, shamelessly asserted that Judaism does not require a Jewish homeland. This commenced a discussion that will last through three episodes regarding man’s ability, and sometimes even predilection, to render an opinion whether or not they are qualified to do so.

Napoleon Convened the Sanhedrin and Destroyed Jewish National Hope
Jul 21, 2021
23:51
TFJ: Series 1 Episode 24: Special Episode: The Birth of Israel After the French Revolution there was a sense that the quest for liberty, egalitarianism and brotherhood were attainable, just like after the American revolution there was a sense that the pursuit of happiness was an attainable goal. Borders were changing, maybe even human nature was changing. Maybe, maybe there was even hope that a Jewish state could be restored. To enlarge his empire and further secure his personal record in history, Napoleon traveled with his army to Egypt. And even though he was routed by the British in the Battle of the Nile, this did not dampen his visions of grandeur and he decided to invade Palestine. After some initial successful battles, basing himself on a sense of overconfidence and being undefeatable, he granted the Jews freedom to their own land and signed his proclamation from his headquarters in Jerusalem that he had not yet captured and never would. He gave the Jews hope for their homeland, and then dashed it when it turned out to be a promise that he could never deliver. His second blow was even more devastating: in 1791 France declared all men to be equal, even Jews. Napoleon and the French people, then had second thoughts. They had given the Jews equal rights too cheaply. For the Jews to be awarded the status of equality they would have to swear that they were Frenchman with loyalties exclusively to fellow Frenchmen, not fellow Jews, with no national aspirations for the Land of Israel. This affirmation was to be sanctioned by the Sanhedrin which had been defunct for 13 centuries. Any observer viewing matters in 1807 would have concluded that the idea of Jews returning to the Land of Israel was over for good. History had the last laugh. This episode is dedicated in memory of Yocheved Orbach by her family. Edited and Produced by Alex Drucker Learn more at TellerFromJerusalem.com Don't forget to subscribe, like and share!

Four (originally five) Orthodox Jewish freshmen appealed to the administration to absolve them from this requirement as it violated Jewish norms of modesty. Although Yale granted exemptions to others, it would not budge for the Yale Five who ended up suing the college for violating their constitutionally protected freedom of religion. Here is another poignant example of people expressing opinions despite their ignorance.

TFJ: Series 1 Episode 28: Character Workshop Teller From Jerusalem is very pleased to invite famous lecturer and New York Times best-selling author, Rabbi Joseph Telushkin on to the podcast to discuss his forthcoming book about Moral Imagination. As Rabbi Telushkin clarifies, over the past hundred years mankind has made incredible advances in science, medicine, and technology, but ways of helping our fellow man have not kept pace. The breakthroughs in science, technology and medicine were a consequence of groups getting together and applying their imagination to solve problems. There is ample room to marshal the very same ingenuity to benefit others, but we are so focused on just solving the immediate problem that we do not consider the underlying issues that needs to be rectified. In his inimitably inspiring style, Rabbi Joseph Telushkin provides some beneficial and memorable examples of how to utilize our God-given imagination to benefit our family, and neighbors – indeed anyone we encounter.

The policy intended to calm the Arabs and curb further violence did nothing of the sort and the untold lives of hundreds of thousands of Jews, likely millions, paid the price. The Peele Commission proposed offering the Jews just a small sliver of land and the balance be awarded to the Arabs, but even this outrageously advantageous solution was rejected out of hand by the Arabs.

The State department and FDR were determined to even violate the law to see to it that Jews did not escape to America. United States policy was so blatant that it even prompted Hitler to comment, “By what right did the US have to condemn German policy when America would not accept what Germany is disposing of.” Edited and Produced by Alex Drucker Learn more at TellerFromJerusalem.com Don't forget to subscribe, like and share!

TFJ: Special Episode! The Haganah launched a floating underground railroad to bring immigrants into Israel after the conclusion of WW II. The British enforced their White Paper which forbade Jewish immigration to Palestine, so Holocaust survivors who were caught trying to run the blockade were incarcerated under cruel conditions in Cyprus. In a daring move, the Haganah retrofitted an old steam liner packing it with over 5000 Jews that were languishing in DP camps and sailed to Israel in the summer of 1947. His Majesty’s Navy attacked the boat, renamed the Exodus, killing and wounding passengers. The survivors were not sent to nearby Cyprus, but to the belly of the beast they had just barely escaped, Germany. The harshness and the heartlessness of the British was a media headline causing sympathy for the Zionist cause and would ultimately be an inspiration to Soviet Jewry.

TFJ: Series 2: Episode 1 Character Workshop Welcome to our second season of Teller From Jerusalem. We are kicking things off with an episode on Character Development, focusing on Anger. Anger is a very destructive emotion, and accordingly we must implement a plan to ensure that rage does not usurp us from the driver’s seat, lest we say words that can destroy relationships and even marriages. Even intelligent and kind people surrender their wisdom and sense of proportion under the influence of untamed anger. TFJ provides some nifty tips and insights that demonstrate that we can indeed control our temper, and guard our tongues from not uttering regrettable and damaging statements. How do you react when you encounter an enraged person, what should you do if you think what you are about to do may precipitate an angry response, and how can you harness your angry emotions in a beneficial way? All of this is addressed in our first session on Anger. Episode 2 will drop in two weeks - subscribe to make sure you never miss an episode.

How Did the British Cope With the Arab Revolt of 1936-39 and The Evian Conference
Mar 9, 2022
18:53
TFJ Series 2: Episode 2 The Arab revolt resulted in widespread violence across the land aimed at both Jewish and British targets. British officer and Christian Zionist, Orde Wingate trained Hagana fighters how to defend themselves. These troops assisted the British in quelling the Arab Revolt. These very same troops instructed by the British would become members of a Jewish revolt against the British less than ten years later. As the world was shocked by the atrocities performed against the Jews featured in the news after the Anschluss in March 1938, there was pressure in Washington to make a humanitarian effort on behalf of the refugees. America announced the Evian Conference to take place in July 1938 at Lake Geneva composed of 32 countries to alleviate the refugee crises. The conference was a total farce as no country, with the exception of the Dominican Republic, was prepared to open their borders and assist the refugees. This sent a clear message to Hitler that he would do whatever he wished and the suffering of millions of humans in Europe did not interest the world.

TFJ Series 2: Episode 3 The British convened conferences to quell the Arab revolt and seek a lasting solution between the Arabs and the Jews. But unless the Arabs received everything they demanded, they were unwilling to negotiate. This created a pattern that was still being followed over sixty years later to the frustration of President Bill Clinton. Because of Palestinian violence and fear that Arab dissatisfaction would have detrimental consequences upon the British empire, the British implemented a policy of appeasement with the Arabs resulting in the White Paper of 1939, which was a sellout of British promises, and locked Palestine’s door to European Jewry who so desperately needed to escape the claws of the Nazis.

If you care for your fellow person you will wish to correct them when they are erring. This is not just the domain of parents, but of any loving and considerate individual – yet a challenge in a society deeply entrenched in the belief of “mind your own business.” Criticism will only work if it is properly dispensed and TFJ takes a look at effective methodology.

TFJ: The Birth of Israel Series 2 Episode 5 The Partition Plan which would have enabled the creation of a Jewish State was not looking promising. The American State Department was adamantly opposed, dampening President Truman’s support. The Soviet’s were in favor of partition, which presented a rare opportunity as with the Soviets came their satellite countries. It would take Dr. Chaim Weizmann with all of his wisdom and charm to convince President Truman to vote for partition and put the United States’ weight behind it. After the motion for Jewish statehood passed in the UN, there was rejoicing in Israel and in Jewish communities throughout the world. The Arab reaction was a wave of lethal violence. The Yishuv began making hasty preparations for war. The Etzion Block in the Hebron hills south of Jerusalem was besieged by Arab guerrillas. A relief column of 35 of Hebrew University’s brightest students never made it to their comrades and were killed and mutilated by Khader el Husseini’s soldiers.

TFJ: The Birth of Israel Series 2: Episode 6 The Relief Column sent to the Etzion Block were buried in a hasty, shallow grave. When Israel liberated the Etzion area in the Six Day War the remains were brought to Jerusalem and miraculously identified. As the first stage of the War of Independence was not going well for Israel, there was fear that the United States would renege on its commitment to recognize the Jewish state upon the British withdrawal in May 1948. Harry Truman was not interested in listening to anyone regarding the Palestine question, until his old friend Eddie Jacobson opened up the door for Chaim Weizmann to speak with the president.

Truman was the first to recognize the Jewish State 11 minutes after her independence had been declared. There are two primary reasons as to why Truman contradicted his State department on this thorny issue, but there is no dispute that were it not for quick-witted and loyal Eddie Jacobson, it would not have happened.

TFJ: The Birth of Israel Series 2 Episode 9 There was no secure area in the section of the land allocated to the Jews where the Israelis had a geographic and demographic advantage. The embargo of weapons to Palestine made it difficult for the Haganah to arm its troops while the Arab armies had resources in Syria, Jordan and Egypt. Because of the fragility of the situation, and fear that the United States and other countries would not recognize the new Jewish state, Ben Gurion made a gutsy decision. It was time for the Jews to go on the offensive and start capturing Arab towns, and mixed neighborhoods. This would be the first time that the Haganah operated not in a non-defensive capacity. The Arabs managed to cut off Jerusalem from other Jewish areas leaving the city’s 100,000 Jewish residents stranded in a chokehold. It was time to risk everything to liberate the city and at that crucial moment arms arrived for the Jewish fighters.

The Controversy Surrounding Deir Yassin
The Controversy Surrounding Deir Yassin
Oct 12, 2022
17:36
Following the UN vote for partition in November 1947, the British informed that they would not carry out on the policy voted on by the General Assembly, and they would remain in Palestine until May 1948. The British would no longer intervene in any fighting between Arabs and Jews, but they would still steadfastly enforce the ban on weapons for Jews. The Hagana was planning its attack to liberate Jewish residents under siege in Jerusalem. The road leading to Jerusalem was subject to sniper fire from Arab terrorist. The Irgun and Lechi wished to assist their brethren in Jerusalem and attacked the village of Deir Yassin and encountered fiercer resistance than expected. Pinned down, the fighters tossed hand grenades resulting in civilian losses.

Israel’s Declaration of Independence
Israel’s Declaration of Independence
Oct 26, 2022

Declaring independence was a daring move, for Israel knew that the very declaration was an invitation to immediate war against five organized armies. Ben Gurion understood that it was now or never. Israel’s Declaration of Independence assured that Israel would be open for Jewish immigration, and for the ingathering of the exiles. It would foster the development of the country for the benefit of all inhabitants. It would be based upon freedom, justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel. It would ensure complete equality of social, religious and political rights to all of its inhabitants. TFJ also looks at the mystery and tension regarding the name that would be awarded to the new country.

Israel Struggles to Survive the First Two Weeks of her War of Independence
Israel Struggles to Survive the First Two Weeks of her War of Independence
Nov 9, 2022

Once Israel declared her independence, she was attacked by all of her neighbors. The Hagana, which will become the Israel Defense Forces, mobilized any able-bodied man or woman and this amounted to barely 30,000. The Arabs had significant manpower and far greater firepower and air forces. The Jews had nothing comparable. Lacking defense in depth the Jews could not afford to give ground on any of their four fronts. But now that the British mandate was over, the Jews were able to import weapons that had previously been forbidden. The greatest Jewish resource was the dedication of their troops, and the talent of their leaders. If Israel was to hang on, she would have to survive the first two weeks.

20:31
In TFJ’s first installment on gratitude, the correlation between gratitude and happiness is explored. Although goals are critically important, expectations are a recipe for misery. Furthermore, the less you expect the more grateful you will be, and the more you expect the less grateful you will be. Counting your blessings is not merely a phrase, but a mantra for a grateful person. It is the only way to avoid the all-too common appreciating what you have, only when it is taken away.

David vs Goliath: the Story of Ron Feller and Bernadotte’s posturing before the first cease-fire
Dec 7, 2022
16:14
At the beginning of the War of Independence Israel was vastly outnumbered and did not had sufficient weapons to defend herself. In those initial weeks before weapons began to arrive, primarily form Czechoslovakia, it was only the daring and ingenuity of lone Israeli soldiers coupled with industrial helpings of Divine Providence that enabled Israel to hold on. Ron Feller is one such hero who single-handedly took on and defeated an entire Egyptian mechanized platoon. Swedish diplomat Count Folk Bernadotte was chosen to be the United Nations Security Council mediator in Israel’s War of Independence. Bernadotte labored to turn the cease-fire into a binding peace treaty which he figured would earn him a Nobel Peace Prize. It certainly earned him disdain.

From the Brooklyn streets of Brownsville and East Flatbush in the 1940’s, a 10 year old public school boy immersed in stickball, basketball and with dreams of becoming a shortstop for his beloved Brooklyn Dodgers, enters a fledgling yeshiva katana eager for new students. While his generation is leaving Orthodoxy in droves, his loving rebbeim ignite a spark within him that grows in intensity as he progresses in his learning at Yeshivas Chaim Berlin, under the tutelage of HaRav Hutner and in Ner Yisroel Yeshiva under his rebbe, Rav Yaacov Weinberg. After his marriage, the young Rabbi Nota Schiller, moves to Eretz Yisroel to continue his learning in Rav Mordechai Elefant’s Itri Yeshiva in Jerusalem. After a “chance” meeting with two secular, very bright young brothers (one a student at Harvard the other at Columbia), who are in Israel for a year on a secular Zionist study program, he and his chavrusah, Rabbi Noach Weinberg, make a decision that will change the Jewish World. They’ll start a yeshiva for young Jewish men with limited or no background in traditional Jewish learning. Despite a promising start and the strong encouragement of the Poseik Hador, Rav Yosef Elyashiv, they suffer a number of financial setbacks from a skeptical Orthodox Jewish World, which has almost given up hope of a revival of Halachic Jewry and they’re forced to close. But, after a few years of indefatigable fundraising efforts, they manage to convince a few visionary philanthropists to share their dream and initially fund their enterprise. With just a handful of eager students and a passionate and stellar rabbinic staff they launch what will become the forefather of the Baal Teshuvah Movement that will sweep the Jewish World and change it forever.
