  • The results are in: Elections and Chiefs and Passover?
    Nov 12 2024

    Season 7, episode 2 is about results and especially not waiting for the results. Sometimes we get it wrong when we stop watching too soon, or when jet lag hits us full on. Three stories that might make you smile. At least I hope so.

    Historical marker of the week includes Akihito in Japan, the invention of the leotard and the closing of Ellis Island.

    Some of the manuscript is on my blog: https://bob-mendelsohn.blogspot.com/2024/11/the-results-are-in-or-are-they.html

  • Season Seven Episode 1: Do-Overs and gaffes, do those work in real life?
    Nov 1 2024

    Today Bob takes us on an 18-minute journey in the land of do-overs, thinking about what a gaffe is, and how to make things right, when we do wrong.
    Quoting Professor Malouff of UNE in Australia and Rabbi Brad Hirschfield of the US, some good insights into this notion of repair.

    The historical marker of the week includes the Black Death in London, the Duke of Brabant and the Sistine Chapel.

  • Sukkot Day 8: 7th of 7 festivals, culmination Who is tabernacling with us?
    Oct 24 2024

    A bit of Hosanna reprise, some Mount of Transfiguration flashback, John chapter 1 telling us who is tabernacling with us, and even the last book in the Bible, Revelation chapter 21 where the culmination culminates! It's all there at Messiah's return. Oh, and we finish Ecclesiastes chapter 12 with Solomon's real conclusion about where to find hope and real meaning in life. Even in the rainstorm where we sat, you can hear the good Word of God.

    Oct 22 2024

    Finding salvation is the cry of Hoshana, so how does that help us in 2024? Reading from Ecclesiastes chapter 7 is timely.

  • Sukkot Day 6: Traditions and Hope
    Oct 21 2024

    From 5783 Day 6 was actually a Shabbat, so it had double meaning for us inside the sukkah. I spoke about the value of and the inherent dangers of traditions. When traditions block or inhibit what they were intended to enhance, it's time to dump them, but until then, if they help, let them stand!

    Also a reading from Ecclesiastes 6. And where is (true) hope?

  • Sukkot Day 4: Solomon prayed for Gentiles? Sacrificial bulls countdown
    Oct 19 2024

    Looking back at biblical history, we find some interesting information about the prayer Solomon prayed when he dedicated the Temple in Jerusalem around 960 BCE and a countdown of bulls when God told Moses to offer sacrifices on this holiday back in Bible days.

  • Sukkot Day 3: Turn, turn, turn, Kanye, and a lulav and etrog
    Oct 18 2024

    The symbols of the holiday are always instructive and the reading of the Bible's depressing book Ecclesiastes is a great way to ponder what the Almighty wants us to take away.

    Originally recorded in my sukkah in 5783.
