it's great opportunity and we really enjoy programming that helps to educate kids on global judaism and judaism for them right here, right now, right in front of them as well as answering the questions that even we as adults had when we were children. growing up into the east bay area, it was a different experience for me. i had a traditional jewish upbringing. when i went to high school, i went to berkeley where i met sarah spencer who was my counselor at the time. she told me her family recently adopted jonah and they wanted to see if i was interested in being part after study and before we knew it, here we go. when you get to college, you ciewpped of move on to this place where you don't know how -- you kind of move on to this place where you don't know how your relimbous identity is going to fit in. be'chol lashon was kind of the filter for me. -- how your religious identity is going to fit in. the camp gave me a canvas to be in my jewish community. >> who comes to the cam ?p. >> mainly families, interracial marriages, adopted families. we go the range. we have our lgbt folks of the

jewish people preferred not to go there not to live there so you know equating israel with all of judaism as of course is of course another one of those of those miss. and if criticizing israel is anti semitic then i would i would ask what is it when you support a state that is a racist state what does it say about you if you say if you support a state that holds thousands of thousands of political prisoners only because their palestinians that you know most of them are not engaged in violence what does that mean about you and your lot when you support a state that intentionally drops bombs and and kills children in gaza knowing full well that they're going to kill innocent civilians including children so i think it's important to put things to set the record straight on this issue if opposing this is anti semitism what do you call it when you support this monstrosity excellently put wow you go that was great and you know i can't just help but think you know the victimization of of israel and also just it being a jewish state and then using that to victimize a whole nother population it's

mean it seems like right now in the discourse political discourse there is no distinction between judaism zionism how did it become in this country that if you simply voice dissent against the israeli government that it's an attack on the jewish people well because it is. biased organizations us that create hysteria but you know it's funny when he says the problem here you know what is right the problem is that your state the problem is that if you're going to have a jewish state in an arab country which is what palestine is where half the population is not jewish you have to have a racist state with racist laws and you know a whole thousands of political prisoners and deny half the population their rights otherwise it would be interstate so in a way glenn beck is right when he says that the problem is that your state and that's why the solution has to be you know similar like in south as in south africa where they have to get rid of apartheid in this case they're going to have to get there is i mean isn't a lot for real democracy the problem is precisely that your statement there is a di

. >> he wrote a book on the true teaching he criticized judaism and christianity. >> what did he say jesus' origin was. >> that's a story about a roman soldier dating mary before,g no foundation in fact? >> no, it's a way to discredit a tradition. >> is there any basis in biology for parthenogenesis, human biology, has it ever occurred? >> before technology, i'm sure technologically we can do all sorts of things. >> before technology. >> before technology do virgins -- how would i know? have i don't know, it seems to me if you're trying to establish the legitimacy of mary being a virgin one thing you would want to inquire is if it's ever happened independently of mythology and technogy. >> well, i would wonder how i'd have access to that information. there is -- >> well, you're among all those boston scholars. what do you do in recreation, don't you ask questions like -- >> no, that tends not to be one of the things we talk about. with my grandmother, yes. with scholars, no. >> so you come down on the side that it was a true virgin bir, correct? >> i think it's very clear that the go

and your very astute observation, we have certain doctrinal slants, particularly in judaism, islam, christianitybut on the other religions, too, that hold the male up as the only authentic figure in which one can develop a sense of self-esteem and empowerment, and that indeed has caused damage, has hurt women. so these are the kinds of things we have to think about - good point. sure? >> for myself, i'm just looking this over and i see all of my own inner conflict in all of the categories. i'm a catholic. i believe in the myth; i appreciate the ritual. then i get over to doctrinal and ethical and i think, "hmm," this is where i have the problem. i cannot take everything the pope hands down - the doctrine, the ethics - i cannot behave - in an opposite way, the way she mentioned, i cannot behave the way my religion tells me to. if i wanted to get a divorce - well, i could go on down the line of all the things that are handed down. i've often thought, "gee, i wish there was an american catholic church, that would take on..." we could go on forever. but i'm just saying, i'm seeing all of my own conf

they had not just made that total break from judaism and so paul here, who i feel is the author of theying or is attempting to convince these jews to make that total break and put judaism behind them with all their laws and rules and regulations. and step out into this whole concept of grace by faith plus nothing. as i said in some of our opening remarks back in chapter 1 and chapter 2, consequently you will not find the plan of salvation laid out in the book of hebrews like it is, for example, in romans or i corinthians or galatians. it is simply a book that is going to show that everything that is practiced back there under the law were just simply precursors to that where we are today. that whole concept of the gospel of grace didn't just come out of the woodwork. it was a progressive revelation and when israel rejected the messiah and god raised the apostle paul specifically then to go to the gentile world with this tremendous gospel of grace. without works, and by faith alone. you know most of christendom still rebels at that just as much as the jews did here in the time of paul w

i don't think rimini people are judged on their christianity or judaism must they are totally obnoxious. [laughter] >> there are a few of those. >> the fear amongst the orthodox is that we have an angle of bringing forth armageddon before it's time and i don't know anybody that does that. i heard the story that is what these folks thought. and i never knew them that had this. so there is that fear and people get over that once they get to know you. so the courage of becoming a christian under the threat of death, i think one is very impressed by that very moved by that and we all are because he bears on his body the suffering of true faith and of courage and i think he has a good message. >> you're not supposed to be reading. [laughter] >> i have many more questions. one issue comes up powerfully in the book. it comes up in different ways. someone was asked why didn't people make a big deal out of it? well, one of the things that was responded to was we were not about looking back. we were about starting over in rebuilding and that is what we are today. it is true today that there is mo

as i grew up judaism seemed to be taluses and beards and eyes watering and smells that i didn't know,aid, "made me proud to be a jew something i had always rejected." he had long wanted leonard bernstein to collaborate on a ballet based on the "dybbuk" by s. ansky, a yiddish drama of star-crossed love in which a young girl is possessed by the soul of her dead beloved. jowitt: lincoln kirstein and george balanchine were not interested in "dybbuk," and they hurt his feelings quite badly by saying, "you'd better be doing that for a folk company." narrator: by the 1970s, however, balanchine and kirstein had warmed to the idea. but all did not go smoothly. jerry and lenny were finding it very difficult to work together. by the mid-70s i don't think he really could collaborate effectively. ultimately he would analyze it to death and there would be nothing left. i think he got cold feet. maybe he was afraid to be as jewish as he needed to be. robbins: i wanted to do a very hard diamond of a ballet and lenny wanted to do a big, dramatic thing. and we never got together on that. he was so unde

cheryl: what do you get when you mix judaism and beer brewing?, you get an american-jewish celebration beer. small business, big ideas, this is the best. founder of scmaltz brewers, called hebrew. what inspired you? >> well, hebrew beer is the first and only jewish celebration beer in the united states, high end craft beer marketed to the jewish community and anybody else who loves great beer. cheryl: all my jewish friends are wine drinkers, is there the population? >> yes, we get the question all the time. i thought jews didn't drink beer. that was going to be the bumper sticker in the beginning. we play with stereotypes, and it's important to have a wonderful high end craft beer to celebrate jewish tradition, the calendar, but, also, now craft beer is popular and growing we want to make beers to stand with the best craft beers. cheryl: sales impressive, 125,000 cases sold, $3.5 million in sales. that's not small, that's good. >> we're getting there. we're like a boutique wine brand. craft beer is growing, the segment is growing, but we're a tin

can't look into his soul and what his core beliefs are when it comes to israel and the religion of judaismhis record in public, has been very sympathetic to those has he sees as downtrodden and those are more sympathy to the palestinians. he is open to negotiating money and believing the power of engagement more than power of force or other incentives. >> gregg: does he have management experience. the pentagon is huge? >> the pentagon is the largest management responsibility short of commander in chief. he has some in ownership of a cellular network and banking but it pales in comparison as secretary of defense. >> jamie: there is a very different flu strain and what you need to keep you and your family healthy. stay with us. we'll be right back. anyone have occasional constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating? yes! one phillips' colon health probiotic cap each day helps defend against these digestive issues with three strains of good bacteria. live the regular life. phillips'. ♪ >> i am jamie colby in for healther childress. >> i am greg. glad you are with us. brand new details about a deadly

we're here on behalf of the religious action center of reformed judaism to talk about gun violence prevention. we hope that you will offer support for the fix on gun checks when it was introduced. unfortunately, it took an inconceivable amount of gun-related tragedies to once again raise awareness of the need for stricter gun laws. nearly every day i hear on the news that a child has been shot to death in my very own city. statistics furthermore illuminate this occurrence as eight young americans die each day under the age of 19, from gun violence. by june of 2012, 228 people were killed in the city of chicago. in that same period of time, 144 united states soldiers have been killed in afghanistan. instead of continuously cringing as these attacks -- at these attacks in disbelief every time we read them, it is time to curb the pat herb of violence that's made the inner city streets more violent than our very own battlefield. today marks the anniversary of one of the most horrific mass shootings in our nation's history. on this day i personally think about the innocent 20 children whose lives

it was so dangerous to show your judaism. emigre: they attempted to burn our house.our doors and they wrote on it death to the jews. emigre: every day on the bus they would yell at me, "go home jew! this is not your home!" emigre: because i am a jew, someone took a knife and cut up the front door to our apartment. this is no place for my daughter. we are leaving this is no place for my daughter. we are leaving this country. announcer: in 1989, the doors of the former soviet union finally opened. for most jews who had been denied jobs and forced into terrible poverty, , there was still no hope of having the means to ever realize their dream of returning to their homeland. but thanks to the help of the worldwide jewish community and programs like "on wings of eagles", what was only a distant dream became a modern-day miracle in the fulfillment of miracle in the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. eckstein: this is the first sign that a jewish imigri will see when they arrive here in israel-welcome to israel. speaking hebrew) welcome israel. speaking hebrew) welcome home.
