great to have you all here. so nice of please say hello greed, our viewers from around the world. now must stay shalom salon hello. very wonderful to be with all of you today. good to having says the rise ray. hello, welcome back. nice to see as i am a deck. as why my dank, thank you so much for receiving media. and i'm still have the internet, the, my philip analysts thinking sorento. remind our audience what you do in your gander . go ahead. i want in more than you gander in as i've been there for more than 20 years, working with the children and women as for the most vulnerable and my work started becoming more intense during the time of day. notice as this, those are me where a lot of women were abducted took into captivity and on return they didn't know what to do. i took this up as

a challenge. first of all of my aside to give life to give hope to this woman by working with them, giving them some skills, training. but above all, being more of a mother to them are, are i and i have i lot get to have been here. nice to have the back on the street in my audience. he you on what you day for. thank you very much for me. my name is robert mark asher goodman. i'm in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, in erie, pennsylvania, and i serve 2 congregations, a large one and a small one. it's an incredible honor to be on the stream with us to nita and sister rosemary, to human rights champions, who i admire the work that they do so much. i'm just thinking about where we are in terms of our global pandemic. and it took us a little while to work out. how do we worship? how do we get together when we can't physically get together? but now that we work that out and people coming back together again, how do you get people to come back to synagogue?

boy, that is a great question and if you solve it, you could be on our board of directors and not be very well not. so i recommend snacks. we call it kiddish. it's the, it's the snack that comes at the end of services. a good kid will always turn people out. and one of the challenges during the pandemic was that most north american synagogues, churches, a lot of different religious faith organizations, went to zoom, or skype, or youtube or facebook services. and so everything was done digitally and on video . and then as we came back in person, particularly those communities that could technologically and financially afford it, went to a hybrid model, which meant and i do this every morning and every evening when i'm leading services here in pittsburgh, i have 8610 people online and another 1020 people in the room and on, on saturday,

those numbers are, you know, quintuple 10 top tenfold and so on. and trying to bridge those 2 groups is very difficult and trying to be respectful of people who are online, who may have illnesses or physical and abilities that they can't come in in person to our congregation. while recognizing the people in the room and being appreciative of them driving in walking and showing up in person, it's always a real challenge and trying to honor both those groups is, is a big part of the work we're doing and, and it's important to create spiritual space for both of them. you think you might have lost part of the community that was coming to synagogue regularly? do you think coded has you've lost them and they will come back ever. you know, we, in my, i represent an advocacy organization rather than a congregation attendance for human rights, where 3 years old. and over the course of the pandemic, we were doing

a lot of our work online on zoom and other platforms. and just lately, in the last 6 months or so, we've been doing these hybrid beds and it's actually it's, it's been wonderful to connect with people all across the world, including frontline, active is that india who are sometimes in sensitive and where it's dangerous for them to participate, but they can join by sin and now many more people are coming together in person. and so the hybrid is really working for us. and in terms of hindu temple, i've been to temple a number of times in this 2022. and they are packed and people are the hindu community is, is out to worship. and that is really wonderful to see after a couple of years where we couldn't do that. right. sister was me, i am just thinking about how your year was. and so you can day, it's been an incredibly challenging year that always big stories that we have to

navigate with our faith and then what, how, how we going to manage it. and so you can that we had covet, followed by a bola, i just wanna remind our audience what that situation look like for you can to let's take a look. ok. ok. oh, all right. first people thought it was a joke. but after hearing of the death enough to seen bodies, they were very wary. and i have started protecting themselves. we don't have as many naysayers as we used to have, because people have very scope risa. we know it's like one point a food lake. i'm actually going today by being made by doing good. i'm good, you know, 2nd jones with, i'm going to move and i'm going home. but this really what i hear there is fear and faith in the same place. how do you, how do you do that? how do you, how people, where they're terrified the year 222022 has been the most

challenging year in that a lot of people developed fear and safety. and that desire to come together, went with the company. everybody had to be somewhere does by themselves. when they hear about my panel is discussing about high breed and how important is it is done the same with us. we do not have access to i breed for all of them. we have to pay for internet and i will be, will struggling with the kind of when before internet. so what we are struggling is extreme poverty would say $222.00, broad, everybody on the news and for as it has been the most do dollars variance starting from cove. it now moving to a bowler, you're going to see we'd love being together. we love sharing our faith, but because of all the calamities which i've been, we had to be apart. so that has been the most difficult thing for you then until now today. and not all people as struggling with poverty,

extreme poverty should say. and as the thing, oh, how do you? yeah, yes and is your 1st week of august. i'm remember i'm remembering how i'm in the early days of coated, we saw the head of the world health organization. just weeping on tv, about how nations are not coming together to work together towards back week vaccine equity and my own home country india. during the, the, the 2nd wave of colds it, i mean we will never forget those images of how i locked down was announced with just a few hours. and, and it would be a, it would be enforced by the law and the poorest people in india where the migrant workers and they had to, i mean, you've probably all seen the images of thousands upon thousands of migrant workers walking on highways walking from village to village to town to get home because

when the locked down happened and the richer people in india were asked to bank utensils on their balconies, the vast majority of the people in india don't have a balcony. and so that, that idea of vaccine equity and who was most impacted by the brunt of this vaccine. i hope i pray that we have learned that lesson for the next time such a calamity falls us. so i'm really curious about cuz we are 2 years into our pandemic, at least i'm really curious about how as a thief leader, you support your community when they are truly suffering sister, rosemary, you start supporting their come in to when they're truly suffering is by being with them sharing everything, forwarding our shoes, putting this them shoes they're putting on, filling the water, the feel. and that means being together and walking together and encouraging them.

because we know it is all about faith that leads us to understand that even the most difficult situation can be overcome one day or another. and that is the good is faith again to see in the poor, people in suffering people that they need to come together and they all share their faith that they're most difficult situation can still be overcome. but you know, sister as me, it's not just about faith, it's practical, it's doing stuff, right. rabbi are, and this throws me isn't always in the community helping by mark you've been doing the same because certainly at this, at where we are with covered right now. the economic crisis as well. there are lots of people who are need, need help, lead donations, etc. go ahead. sure. during the pandemic, one of the things that i did because it was hard to do was try and find ways of just communicating with folks who were sick. so we had at one point at the

beginning of the pandemic, we had 3 staff members and 3 congregant in the hospital with cove it all the same time. and 2 of them were on a ventilator at the same time. and everyone survived, which was something of a miracle, but just being able to go around to members of the community, you know, dropping off a card, getting everyone to sign it and then bringing it to the hospital, knowing that we couldn't get into their room. but we could express them that we loved them, that we were thinking about them, letting them know that we'd added their name to our prayer for healing that we say every single day and on the sabbath. was the big thing that we did when we got out of the pandemic. one of the things we started to evolve was this understanding that in america we have this very robust, great health care system that almost everybody has access to. but there are huge gaps in the system, and it means that some people can't get all of the things that they need from the

medical system. so maybe you're able to get a walker, but you're not also able in the same calendar year or 2 year period because of the way our system work to also get a wheelchair. and so we started collecting walkers and wheelchairs and mobility devices as a congregation and then delivering them to individuals. and it's nothing fancy. it's nothing complicated. it's a closet here and a basement there. and it doesn't devices here. and i just pick up the phone and say, hey, can you do go down the street to mr. so, and so he's in apartment 2 or 3 and delivered him the wheelchair with the green hand rests because that's about the size that he needs. and that's the type that he needs, and it would really help him to get to the, the market every day. and that is, by the way, one last thing so

much, you know, effective when, when we see, when we see images like this we are, i mean what, what is immediately apparent is the economic disparity right there. i'm somebody

like bob lou, but the other, the other point that we should be very aware of is the cast disparity. so it's a double whammy when somebody is of a lower cast or a minority religion in india as well as poor and painless for human rights work is working diligently on really representing embodying the best most inclusive, most pluralistic, most love centered version of our faith, of hinduism, because really what is entrenched, the hindu community is an ideology, political ideology, that really is di, diametrically, opposite internationalism. and when you think of the planet for hindus, every part of the universe, every stream, every river, every mountain, every pebble, is divine god is in you and me, no matter who you are. and so protecting the planet and being there for each other . no matter you know who the other person is is a core is quarantined with them. so it should, it should, it should be, you know,

the 1st order of practicing our faith to be there for each other and the planet. but the, the problem, the real problem is that he knew nationalism, which is the ideology that is entrenched in the community. but also that is in power in india is in bed with the corporate, the huge corporations of the world, the 5 largest polluters of the world are in india. 5 of the largest ponies of the world are in india. and those and those 5 corporations are also backers of hindu, of his nationalism. let me get it to them. and so yeah. and so just and just to finish it, if we, if we are a to d thrown king call we d thrown him go. i got to get a perspective from rabbi mark, i might tell you where you are geographically situated and why talking about the

climate crisis is incredibly tricky for you. so, so need to set a great thing talking about the polluters in india and how many religious people, who are hindu, understand that it needs to be done as a community action needs to be done collectively and brought together i am in pittsburgh and an eerie which are the industrial rust belt of the united states of america and the steel industry was built in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. the monongahela valley is full of steel mills, and coke works and coal producers, and it's the end terminus line of west virginia coal. there's huge pollution problems historically in this area that are still being cleaned up to this day. and that means that politically and based on the economics of the community, a lot of people who grew up here who lived here for generations. they made their

money on coal, they made their money on steel. they made their money on heavy industry and convincing those folks, no, we need to go green. we need to shift is very, very difficult. but i think we need to set a really, really well. and i want to bring it from my faith tradition. in the psalms, it says, i don't, i are its own law, gods. is the world and all that is in it. so for people of faith, we have to remember that the world does not belong to us. the earth does not belong to us. we don't dig cole out of the ground to burnett, with no repercussions. we need to remember that all these things belong to god, and the earth belongs to god and the earth belongs to our fellow community members . and therefore we need to keep it clean. keep it, christine, keep it good for the generations to come. so far as what i have to share before i had, i not really let out at 14, as we were talking about how faith strength, friends asked for a war. how to look at this gallop poll. belief in god owned the united states,

dips to an 81, a sent a new, lo, that is a big deal. you can see here. you can see here from the 1940s to where we are here in the early 20 twenty's that few people now believe in god. when you see that it, what does that mean to you? from uganda it's just another thing i can compare with what is going on in africa as the whole. and not only your gander in the most difficult times. people in africa come closer to god because we shared that faith was strength in one another. and we know that we can not overcome our own sufferings and been we need god in our lives. and unfortunately, the big one will go out of faith, normally the affluent society. and we're not in that of when to say that. and it

doesn't mean that we are going to god, because we are poor. we are going to god because we trust him. we know that used above, as we know, that used to work. we're done. and i think that is what everybody need to cultivate in. why is faith going down? we need to look, we need to find the root cause of the problem in america or elsewhere in the world . if faith is going down, there must be a reason. if we were and not believing any more in god, there must be a reason less dig. did there hold and find out all her rabbi smiling. go ahead. rabbi thence, nita, it's really, it's really hard to figure out why americans are becoming less faithful. i think sister rosemary has a lot to to say that that i agree with it is easier to believe in god when you need god. then when you are athlete, when you are wealthy,

when you have a nice car at a nice house and everything is going really easy, you don't need to cry out so much to god. that being said, everybody, even the affluent, even the wealthy, even the comfortable suffer and have difficulties in their lives. and one of the reasons that i think americans are getting away from god is, is that they are disillusioned with the institutions that have been promoting god for a very long time. the big churches, the big synagogues, the big orders, the big organizations, have really been off putting for a variety of scandals and difficulties for hoarding worlds as opposed to sharing it with communities. and the last thing i'll say is this illogically, they've been off putting sometimes to buy, promoting a version of god that was not speaking to the people. and one thing that i say to folks, and i set it to a woman last night that synagogue who are on saturday synagogue,

who said that she was an atheist, she didn't believe in god, but she was there for a bar miss. for anyways, was i told her, you know, the god that you don't believe in. i probably don't believe in that god either write it when you have an overly simplistic, you know, old man in a chair sending down lightning bolts, vision of god. a lot of people find that off putting but i don't really think that that's actually what we are talking about. see illusions as religious people as faith leaders when we're talking about god. all right, so the rabbi is sometimes minus the soccer, soccer rabbi, should call the rab, i really, really know what he's talking about. have a look on my laptop. and so i'm just going to look at w very quickly because it impacts a lot of different faiths. right now the division, so jewish twitter is in full on panic mode because a famous arse hat is feeling hate on the daily. ok, jewess conservative condemn trump. the meeting anti semite nic fuentes. so that is anti semitism in the us,

raising its ugly head even more than it has done in the past. and then we go across to the hindu tradition. religious polarization in india seeping into the u. s. the asper. but i want to share some more positive pictures and images muslims dilates for black lives. there is a way we found the way to come together and the day of atonement. i have to show you this beautiful picture of here with mark and part of his synagogue here, or celebrating. i want to end on a, on a positive note, with your prayers. your hopes were 2020, the re says the rosary. this is going to be a one line prayer one. is it my whole been doing a good 3 is that you money do will raise the god and see his image it everyone. because if you begin to say, i don't love god, it's like you are see,

i don't like you, my neighbor. i don't love my live god as grid it ever would. it is image. all right, wonderful. i anita your one line. pray is what the best way to resist extremism of all stripes is to cling together and refuse to be divided from each other. and so i went to my prayers that we cling together and used to be divided. rabbi, what is your prayer for 2023. it's beautiful. i would say a little bit of me and a little bit of my grandmother. my grandmother would say a happy and healthy new year to you all. and i would say a happy and healthy new year of justice of freedom, of mercy and of love. ah, at rabbi you inspired our closing picture, which is people really embracing puppet prayer. because we have our own camp going on right now. let show those pictures where people are very unabashedly saying, please, please can my thing. when my prayer wasn't answered,

england is out. but i love the fact that we are celebrating our prayer and our faith out in the open, even if it soccer or football that's helping us do that. thanks for watching. on counting the costs, the russia oil price count, we're looking at the impact on russia and the global oil market sell africa is in the grid at the political crisis. how will it affect the economy and cultivation is big business in india, but how much is it costing me environment? counting the cost on al jazeera joe biden is welcoming african leaders from across the continent. washington house, the u. s. africa leader summit with global power is vying to boost economic and political ties to the region. the president is keen to underscore the importance of

u. s. africa relation. stay with al jazeera for all development. ah, holding the powerful to account. as we examined the u. s. sheets row in the world on al jazeera, 15000 young men were traffic from west africa to europe in the middle east in 2021 . with the promise that play professional football meet center defender use of game, he's from synagogue suburb of refused use of thought. his dreams had come to a man, presenting himself as a football agent told him he had talent and had found a club for him to join in to buy. so they sold their car and barred money for the trip. but there was no club to host him. the vast majority of the young man that you shall, this pitch, will not make a living, playing professional football. they'll be disappointment for them to carry out of their families, but also of entire communities. and villages that have supported them,

use of gay is in debt and robbed of his dreams. and yet he has not lost hope. neither has his family. the still expect their son will step into the football boots of synagogues biggest players. ah. at least 7 protesters killed in paris as supporters of the aston, former president demand his immediate release from custody. ah, hello, there, i'm his darcy. attain this is al jazeera life. also coming up the founder of the collapse crypto currency f. m f t. x is arrested in the bahamas. the nigerian army is accused of carrying out masses.
