PARSHA & PROSE WITH RABBI SHLOMO GEMARA: MATOT & MASEI (Audio)

In this vibrant episode of Parsha and Prose, Rabbi Gemara joins me from a ma'amud (bomb shelter) in Israel to explore the twin parshiot of Matot and Masei. Before delving into key themes—oaths, the 2½ tribes settling east of the Jordan, the 42 encampments of the Children of Israel, and the Levites' landless status—we discuss Rabbi Gemara's recent experiences in Israel. With infectious enthusiasm, he shares the dynamic energy he encountered in late-night restaurants and intimate shteibelech (small synagogues). Rabbi Gemara also reflects on the Israeli public's resilience amid the ongoing war in Gaza and tensions with Iran, highlighting their unwavering hope and determination to thrive. This episode captures the enduring strength of the Jewish people and the profound beauty of the Land of Israel. Am Yisrael Chai. 🔑 What You'll Discover in This Episode: ✅What Matot-Masei teaches us about responsibility and leadership ✅Why the 2½ tribes chose to settle outside the Promised Land ✅The symbolic meaning behind the 42 encampments of the Israelites ✅The special spiritual role of the Levites ✅Firsthand reflections on life in Israel during wartime ✅How Torah connects to current events in Israel and Jewish resilience 💬 Join the Conversation: What insights did you take from Matot-Masei?

SHIFRA CORRIGAN: HEART OF ISRAEL, STORY OF CONVERSION & CONNECTION (Audio)

In this episode of the show, I schmooze with Shifra Ruth Corrigan (Christa), who is a convert to Judaism. Shifra is an ebullient, articulate person who expresses with great verve her passion for becoming a Jew and the beauty of the Jewish people and Israel. We discuss, her decision to convert which she describes as simply, “coming home.” She talks about her family and friend’s response to she becoming a Jew, and how she lost many friends after October 7th. Shifra expresses her great love of the mitzvoth (commandments), her favorite being Shabbat. She also talks to me about her business, ‘Hey Chai Hello,’ a Jewish and pro-Israel apparel brand that she says, “feels like a daily hug for your identity.” She says she doesn’t have a historic lineage of recipes or heirlooms, so she created her own – “something entirely new as a way to honor my soul’s journey back to HaShem (God).” She added, “That’s why every tee, sweatshirt, or art print is meaningful to me—it’s part of that reclamation and celebration.” Shifra is a life coach, a huge hockey fan (Go Knights), animal love and says, “I’m a big believer that life’s best lived barefoot and on purpose. She says, “At the core of everything I do is this simple truth: I’m a coach. I’m an artist. I’m a designer. I’m a small business owner. My name is Shifra Ruth bat Avraham v’Sarah, and I am a proud Jewish woman.” 🔑 What You'll Discover in This Episode: ✅Why Shifra chose to convert to Judaism and what “coming home” meant to her ✅Her deep love for mitzvot and the meaning behind Shabbat ✅How she responded to personal loss and anti-Israel backlash after October 7 ✅The story behind her brand Hey Chai Hello—a “daily hug for Jewish identity” ✅Shifra’s outlook on living with purpose, barefoot, and in full Jewish pride 👤 About Shifra Ruth Corrigan: Shifra is a life coach, artist, and founder of Hey Chai Hello, a Jewish and pro-Israel lifestyle brand rooted in pride, purpose, and authenticity.

SAM KELLY: AUTHOR, 'HUMAN HISTORY ON DRUGS' (Audio)

Sam Kelly, a history graduate from Stanford University, is on the autism spectrum and his interest and passion for history has become an almost physical compulsion. He loves to dig up forgotten and weird stories from the past and spends hours uncovering every last stubborn detail. “I’ve been obsessed with history since I was a little kid. In ele-mentary school, I’d beg my history teacher to let me take home the teacher’s edition of the textbook so I could read ahead and see the extra info they put in the margins to help teachers provide context. When my mom came to wake me in the morning, she’d find me sprawled on top of the bed with the history book still lying open on my chest.” As a deep believer that history can be as exciting as any Marvel movie, Sam aims to— whether on TikTok or through a book—make history both engaging and accessible to all. Human History on Drugs: An Utterly Scandalous but Entirely Truthful Look at History Under the Influence is his first book. In his fascinating book you’ll find historical figures bombed out of their minds, including: Alexander the Great. George Washington. William Shakespeare. Queen Victoria, Nietzche, the Beatles, Sigmund Freud, Steve Jobs, Van Gough, The Unibomber and Marilyn Munroe. They got drunk, stoned, high—and they aren’t the only ones. In this book, Sam Kelly brings readers on one hell of a trip through history. ——🎧 The Avrum Rosensweig Show —— A one-of-a-kind, intimate schmooze-fest, hosted and produced by the endlessly curious veteran radio and TV personality, Avrum Rosensweig.
