| Ketubah - A Jewish Woman's Rights |
# AL 613 |
| by
Aiken PhD, Lisa |
|
| Many people think a ketubah is a flowery declaration of love from the groom to the bride. Others think it's an archaic contract for acquiring property. Lisa Aiken shows how the ketubah is a legal document designed to protect a woman's rights, their money, and their dignity in marriage, death, and possible divorce. Hear how Judaism takes care of its women in ways far beyond the enlightened 21st century legislation. |

| Today's Jewish Woman vs. Traditional Judaism |
# AL 630 C |
| by
Aiken PhD, Lisa |
|
| Far from the view that traditional Jewish women are drudges chained to their kitchen and diaper pail, a more accurate way to describe them is like that of an officer directing troop movement from a command post. Lisa Aiken flips the notion that Judaism strips its women of their power, and proves how their influence effects major change. Another disturbing question she tackles is why women are excluded from time bound mitzvot such as tefillin and tzitzis? |

| To Be or Not to Be a Superwoman |
# AL 632 |
| by
Aiken PhD, Lisa |
|
| Although not dressed in a blue cape or having the ability to fly, isn't a woman who is working, cleaning, cooking and caring for children all day long truly entitled to be called a 'Superwoman'? But then again, is pushing oneself to the point of collapse the right way to go either? And when is saying 'no' to doing certain things more appropriate? Hear a discussion that sympathizes with all the responsibilities a woman should carry, while keeping cognizant of their human limitations. |

| A Woman's Take on Orthodox Synagogues |
# AL 941 |
| by
Aiken PhD, Lisa |
|
| Probably the hardest thing a secular woman must swallow when taking her first steps into an Orthodox synagogue is that the men and women are sitting separately. Whether you are newly observant or have struggled with this for many years - listen to Dr. Aiken's refreshing take on the issue and, far from being a bitter pill, hear how such an arrangement can be more liberating than it appears. |

| The Root Source of Anti-Semitism |
# BA 850 B |
| by
Berger, Rabbi Motty |
|
| Ever wonder why so many baseless charges are leveled against the Jews, and why they capture so many front-page headlines? Consider two blaring accusations for hating Jews. When the Jews are poverty-stricken they're called parasites and when they become wealthy they're accused of taking over. This and many other opposites are used to attack this tiny nation from all sides. Rabbi Motty Berger, famous for his provocative and refreshing logic, examines a number of causes, but reaches an unusual conclusion for this ages old anomaly. |

| A Way to Reconcile the Holocaust |
# BA 852 |
| by
Berger, Rabbi Motty |
|
| The Holocaust is so emotionally explosive that even the most logical explanations will fail to assuage all of the ambivalence we feel towards God when recalling that horrific nightmare. Rabbi Berger begins by separating the heart and mind to understand the nuanced relationship God has with the Jewish nation. Once this backdrop is in place, so many factors involved in that brutal genocide may become a bit clearer - and paradoxically point to God's refusal to let us disappear. |

| Listening to How the Wise Respond |
# BA 951 |
| by
Berger, Rabbi Motty |
|
| Blaming the Americans, CNN, or even the Arabs themselves for the tragedies that befall the Jewish people is very similar to the parable that says: 'when you hit a dog, it will bite back at the stick.' Hear how we should approach our leaders when tough situations need sensitive solutions, rather than condemning everyone else for our problems. |

| Communism: The Boundaries of Deceit |
# BY 350 |
| by
Berkovits, Rabbi Yitzchak |
|
| How does deceit relate to the concept of Communism? And within deceit, to what extent can the truth be exaggerated or bent? Rabbi Berkovits sources a few concepts from 'Ethics of our Fathers' to formulate a contemporary understanding of this phenomenon. A very informative talk. |

| The Source of Dignity |
# BY 614 |
| by
Berkovits, Rabbi Yitzchak |
|
| If no other human being is around to see your attire or hear your words, how is it possible to measure your own self-respect? Rabbi Berkovits's discussion goes to the heart of being dignified in your own eyes. Step forward to enter the realm of integrity, and freedom from seeking the approval of others. |

| The Science of Spirituality |
# BY 700 A |
| by
Berkovits, Rabbi Yitzchak |
|
| Can the laws of the spiritual world be clearly explained? Does God really care how picayune we are about Jewish law? Why do Orthodox Jews say some rabbis are legitimate, and others not? Other subjects discussed include the role of the soul, God's relationship to His creations, and that passionate Jewish thirst for justice. |

| Where Was God During the Holocaust? |
# BY 853 A |
| by
Berkovits, Rabbi Yitzchak |
|
| Just the word Holocaust is packed with fearful images of smoke, defenseless children, skeletal Jews and decimated communities. Where was God during all the devastation? For a moment, can we put our emotions and torment on hold to hear about our age-old responsibility of being the chosen nation? Rabbi Berkovits's clarity and gentle approach creates a powerful class on this almost untouchable subject. |

# BY 853 B |
| by
Berkovits, Rabbi Yitzchak |
|
This lecture is really very calming and helps to lessen the fright that many people harbor about this horrific event. What is the meaning to all the memorials, the reparation payments, and revisionists' counterclaims? And why do the youth, who often consider it just another historical event, have a vested interest to keep the lessons of the Holocaust close to their hearts?  |

| Health in Halacha |
# FE 343 |
| by
Feiner, Rabbi Eytan |
|
| Don't laugh - the Torah may hold you to 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away'. Torah laws governing physical health are more implicit than you may think. Can you cheat on the low cholesterol diet your doctor prescribed for you? How about ensuring yourself enough sleep? And on the extreme side, how do cigarettes, dangerous sports, and drugs fit into the overall picture of guarding your own well being and the well being of your family? |

| Growing Concerns of Genetic Cloning |
# FM 670 |
| by
Friedman, Rabbi Marc |
|
| In the movie "Jurassic Park," a drop of preserved dinosaur blood spawned a new generation of dinosaurs. This fantasy became a fact in March 1997, when Scottish scientist Dr. Ian Wilmut successfully cloned "Dolly the sheep" from a genetically identical cell. Oregon researchers have since repeated the feat with monkeys. If human cloning is not that far behind, what are the practical and moral consequences on the horizon? |
