we are part of the united synagogue of judaism. the conservative movement is kind of in the middle in a certain way. between orthodox and reform. we are not looking at ourselves in the mirror to see where we are on the vector. we are looking at the person walking through the door and say how can we welcome you and how can we help you define your path within judaism or relation to judaism. >> as our current president you yourself and body diversity because you serve in a pulpit at the congregation. you are ordained through the renewal movement. you are a past national president of the movement. you yourself represent the diversity of life in the country and in the bay area. can you talk about the renewal movement it self. >> the purpose is to breathe new life into judaism. it is not see itself as a dom denomination. we welcome rabbis and members to affiliate with and continue the religious practice on whatever level feels right to them. >> we only have a minute or so left. i want to ask you a big question. you talk a lot about the v

it marked a new beginning for judaism in poland. everything from basic things in judaism kosher holidays history to what does it mean to be jewish how do you feel about being jewish and then also getting to know each other icebreakers and sometimes fun things everybody reenact the biblical scene. and on friday nights we were put all the different benches that we could find and we'd have the prayer outside which is really i think everyone's favorite moment of the week. but there was also criticism from unexpected quarters for some people jewish life in eastern europe was unimaginable after the holocaust the fact is that jewish people in america particularly people who are 2nd generation his parents fled 'd the holocaust so apparent why do you want to do it. and i said to these people because there were jewish kids there we must do what we cared to give them a jewish life it is ridiculous to protest the gains in the rebirth of jewish life where it had been murder because you don't regulate life. jews have a right to live and live as j

judaism defines jewishness in part as an ethnic rule. i'm not religious but ethnically jewish. they wouldn't hire me as a canter for many reasons but you can imagine a group saying the children of a jewish mother are jewish even whether or not she is religious or not and that is a national origin, something religious institutions are allowed to do. that is the general principle. how far does it go? i am not sure what is new but i assume she would agree when it comes to the clergy, the outright clergy notwithstanding the federal government discrimination law we can't protect women who want to be priests by dissemination from the patrick -- catholic church because it was an intrusion. how far does it go? they are concerned about separation of church and state, quite reluctant to allow the government to supervise hiring and firing decisions as to certain kinds of religious employees and institutions and again you can imagine that line being drawn, no kind of religious teachers, all kinds of religious teachers, but part of this process the board has gone through to find what the fr

and discrimination can not live together so some sink very hard it's up and to judaism in discussion3 what is the 4th of you know this picture this is target feature or this is incredible look at this. this is from the nasa german. in 36 the swords of who is not saluting the just 11 guy in the crowed that was not silly it is he there this this this is for me not how i think it is a this is what makes us the this is what makes us different. but those are the people that history will remember. and my other. devitt is. did out of. a send that the cold. bush recession. a month ago and at the can only blush a. shadow of the whole lot also. but just minutes out of this mess it up. you meet the how the so initial. cool down in the book 12 of and. look on the way in which will bed on sat one syllable. little ball when they battle shout and. numb smile and as a mocking then. and i'm smiling the. whole stash of sudden decision. 101 that i said no. i'm a star lunch avenue and an assault. assassin unknown bullets we can beat and as i had blogged and hala the human who i am that issue number 7 is

that how many of these you know it is sad to see this great shambles so empty in judaism it is fundamental that we pray together as a community that takes it to a higher level that this. is an aversion to free and when it's not possible pray aleck's a certain strength. this could be it is. essential used to come regularly before the pandemic and now he's back he too says the virus has changed things. always shake hands of people but this was a part of the problem when people understand. it we don't do it anymore. it's like you see how some of the. people that we you know. the people of. course made it with. yeah it's so religious communities can come together again but the intensity of the experience has for now certainly been dampened. german airline says it's close to sealing a deal with the german government to secure a 9000000000 euro rescue package that its subsidiary been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic in april fewer than 3000 passengers a day travels with compared with a pretty pandemic average of around $350000.00. there have been weeks of wrangling leading up to this point b

there were communities clustered around judaism, islam, immigration and lgbt issues.n global elites and related conspiracy theories. if you look at conspiracy theories around global elites who are trying to hide vaccines from people, or who created the coronavirus supposedly on purpose, those often have anti—semitic tropes in about a global elite that isjewish, and that allows them to promote anti—semitic content with a cover of talking about coronavirus. the research discovered that, along with tying it to elites, this community was more likely than any other to think the virus was engineered, overhyped or had an existing cure. ideas that encourage remedies like chloroquine and proven and potentially dangerous ideas, despite the suggestions of donald trump. many of the things that you hear out there are what i call anecdotal reports, they may be true but they are anecdotal, so the only thing i would say is that if you really want to definitively know if something works, you've got to do the kind of trial that you get the good information. we have been here before. mi

the political stance on to the last friday of this month which is called by has been a good day or judaism's date yeah ok so the silence there in beirut mr schindler the german foreign minister announced this decision in a tweet today and the 1st reason that he listed was hezbollah was refusal to recognize the right of israel to exist does that surprise you because that is nothing new there's nothing new in that statement. thank you very much for having me obviously as you already pointed out this decision came along and liberation even the parliamentary vote and what's the last stage in a in a very very long discussion you have to look at his fall in 2 ways at the one hand this is it terrorism and i think today's decision we have found that it is but it also is a veritable crime network including inside germany racketeering gun running drug dealing where all of what he is or sympathizers and members of his what i think in germany to raise funds for the organization so what is the big threat to germany mr schindler is it has been the terrorist group or. the criminal gang money launderers bot

the home here there's no go it is sad to see this great shambles so empty in judaism it is fundamental that we pray together as a community itself that takes it to a higher level that this. has an aversion to for and when it's not possible pray aleck's a certain strength and this could be it. essential used to come regularly before the pandemic and now he's back he too says the virus has changed things. always shake hands of people but this was a part of the problem that people understand that you cannot trick and. we don't do it anymore probably to be too we'll be able to shake hands of someone it's like you see how some of you will fall away from different people that we you know. the people of most of them of course i read it with. yeah it's real so religious communities can come together again but the intensity of the experience has for now certainly been dampened. german airline says it's close to sealing a deal with the german government to secure a 9000000000 euro rescue package yeah a lie that its subsidiaries been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic in april fewer than 3000 p

public figures are willing to go along with that of course there is a difference between zionism and judaism and therefore there is a difference between anti's and ism semitism in a body of confused as it is either an ignorant person or someone who manipulates the truth in order not to allow the reality on the ground in palestine to be discussed genuinely and candidly between everyone who is interested in peace and reconciliation in the land when it comes to politics in israel arab m.p.'s olive branches after this repeated israeli election the only branches seem to been crushed by benny gantz an architect of the israeli military operations of course in occupied territories. is it true that the israeli government and of course my compan secretary of state from the united states arrived. is it true that the israeli government is using coronavirus to annex illegally and ex person in and. i think it's a bit more complex. this particularly israeli government 'd or let's say or the netanyahu government since 2009 being incrementally annexing parts of the west bank kicking out people who live there

we offerwh for the faith in the question of the faith is limited to being a spiritual leader or in judaism or a musical for those music programs but that supreme court question that but looking to the title but those different religious groups are quite different so my understanding for instance is that the a mom is a leader who doesn't have to have a full blown title to have the respect and that quakers also have that view about people within the congregation and nmany rabbis are ordained but it's not clear what that significance should be so that's one reason i find that functional approach more appealing. but looking to the title in some places it is very clear because those institutions are all about sharp divisions of labor but for other religious groups it's not. >> many thanks for that. justice leaders said what to do between an elementary school teacher it may not be all day because elementary east teachers teach different subjects but wouldn't teaching some religion be enough to qualify? if that's a line that the court adopt anybody who teaches some religion or values does that me

because i was at home here this you know it is sad to see this great shambles so empty in judaism it is fundamental that we pray together as a community itself that takes it to a higher level that this. has an aversion to for and when it's not possible pray or legs a certain strength and this could be it. essential i used to come regularly before the pandemic and now he's back he too says the virus has changed things. always shake hands with people but this was a part of the problem that people understand that you cannot chicken. and we don't do it anymore probably to between the 2 shake hands of someone it's like you say hi somewhere that you will follow if definitely people that we you know. the people of the most of the course of it with. yeah it's we'll so religious communities can come together again but the intensity of the experience has for now certainly been dampened. time now for a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world russian media reports say the leader of chechnya has been hospitalized in moscow with suspected covert 90 ramzan kadyrov is a k

there were communities clustered around judaism, islam, immigration and lgbt issues. in global elites and related conspiracy theories. if you look at conspiracy theories around global elites who are trying to hide vaccines from people, or who created the coronavirus supposedly on purpose, those often have anti—semitic tropes in about a global elite that is jewish, and that allows them to promote anti—semitic content with a cover of talking about coronavirus. the research discovered that, along with tying it to elites, this community was more likely than any other to think the virus was engineered, overhyped or had an existing cure. ideas that encourage remedies like chloroquine and proven and potentially dangerous ideas, despite the suggestions of donald trump. many of the things that you hear out there are what i call anecdotal reports, they may be true but they are anecdotal, so the only thing i was saying is that if you really want to definitively know if something works, you've got to do the kind of trial that you get the good information. we have been here before

a math teacher who is told to teach something about judaism for 10 minutes a week? mr. rassbach: if he is teaching it -- >> that is all you know about them. mr. rassbach: then, i would say probably not. >> ok. next is someone -- you mentioned at the beginning of your remarks , it takes about 20 seconds to say. mf teacher who was told to begin every class with leading the shabbat? mr. rassbach: i don't think that is likely because -- align mr. rassbach: a math teacher who was told to embody jewish values and infuse instruction when she was value? mr. rassbach: if it is that alone, probably not, but depends -- >> i really am asking these things alone. a nurse at a catholic hospital, who prays with sick patients, and is told otherwise to attend to their religious needs? mr. rassbach: i think a nurse doing that kind of counseling and prayer may fall within the exception. mr. rassbach: may fall within it. ok. a press communication staff or who prepares press releases for religious institution of all kinds that they need? mr. rassbach: that she'll fall within it because it is

the question of whether it is limited to someone being a spiritual leader, cantor's, or judaism, or who run religious music programs, or who teach religion. that's an important question that the courts do not get to decide. i will say that looking to the title seems to be a mistake. because different denominations use the titles are quite different. my understanding is that in islam, an imam is just a leader who does not need to have a formal title. he is kind of -- my understanding is quakers also have a very egalitarian view. understand,bbis i they are teachers. many rabbis are ordained, but it is not clear what the constitutional significance of that should be. so that is one reason that i find the functional approach more appealing. we still have to figure out where the functional line is drawn. but looking to the title, in some places it is very clear because those institutions are all about sharp divisions of labor and sharp distinctions between the lady in the clergy. for other religious groups that is just not so. mr. rosen: many thanks for that. sunu, justice alito said what is

he explained the history of judaism and christianity. he talked about the 18th century french theological thinkers. it was astonishing. he was just sitting there. i think he was probably not looking at books, spinning this outside of himself. he wanted george stuff. this was profoundly important to him. peter: i think we are trying to give you a fair representation of the lives of two really interesting man who, i think as you sum up, it is possible for an objectively bad president to be a great man. i think john quincy adams, i think that. but he covers so much more ground than we can do in a brief period. john quincy adams is an accomplished poet, a theater critic. here is a former president of the united states writing theater criticism. he is enthusiastic about education. one of the last parts of his long career is traveling to cincinnati in the 1840's for the opening of an astronomical observatory in cincinnati, essentially, he is the person that pushes forward the idea of using the smithson request to found the smithsonian institut

judaism requires ten people recite the mourner's prayer.t ensures the grieving family is sheeldom alone in the first week after the first loss. a requirement near impossible for many yous to follow now. for catholics in more normal times may have found strength from the community that gathers for vigils or the funeral mass, they, too, have been robbed of that sacred experience. of celebrating a life well lived together sharing stories about their loved ones. so whether you're muslim, evangelical, quaker, mormon, atheist, whatever. your personal grieving process might have been the novel coronavirus surely made that more painful. more isolated. because whatever your faith, community carries us through insurmountable grief as we're social distancing away from each other, we hope this national memorial is a way we can still create something of a community for you. over the next hour, we'll honor some of the lives cut short and we will try to come together as one american family united in grief, stronger together. i want to start by bringing in

we have -- it's -- jude judaism wants people to come together and the requirements of having ten people come together to fulfill certain requirements of the religion to say a prayer for those who are deceased and so forth, yet people haven't come together. >> bill, if you're going to come on the show and refer to a minion, you just call it a minion. >> okay. anyway,. >> i'll just tell everyone, these are jewish references. it's not just rap references. sometimes there are jewish references. >> i want to get in some stuff, orthodox, conservative, we could really go down a rabbit hole. are saying look, we have to sacrifice something here. everyone wants to open up in terms of religious, but this is why the mask thing isn't just a little fracas. it's pretty serious. if you're going to open up, the masks are more important than ever. if we're all sitting a home as you are and i are, we don't knee masks. hopefully we've kept i want fairly secure. precisely if one is going to go out to score stores, go to work, go to a church service or something else, one needs to wear a mask, not so much to

we need the encouragement that comes from other christians, whether it's judaism, in the old testament, or christianity, both are rooted in the idea of people coming together. again, harris, we were ready to be shut down on easter sunday. the present were shipped with our church online easter sunday morning. we were willing to do that. that's only a temporary solution. it's time to start reopening our churches in a safe way. what you're going to hear today are guidelines. not draconian mandates, but guidelines on how churches can open in a responsible way. not just in terms of its own members, but we have a responsibility in the community in which we minister to be safe. i think there's a way to do that. >> harris: yeah. you know, just in balance here, i want to point out that chicago's mayor, wouldn't talk about certain things opening up at others not, came under fire a few weeks ago for getting her hair cut and had to defend why she would allow herself the hands of someone who ran a salon but everybody else in her municipality couldn't do that. she said it was because she was a publi

to fill you in, the rat pack were two italians, a jew and an african-american who converted to judaism, right, and the son-in-law of the president. and a lot of their humor was very hard hitting. because sammy was not only black, but was the youngest of the group and had -- was physically short, he was picked on a lot. there are all sorts of things. dean martin used to pick him up and say, i want to thank the naacp for giving me this award. oh, cut that out. ha ha ha. the documentary doesn't come down on any side, because whoopi goldberg and billy crystal who would be sensitive to that say in the entertainment business, that's the way it was. what we don't remember because we don't see them are the dean martin being told he was a drunk and jokes about sinatra. but the sammy stuff has bubbled to the surface. and it's a bit -- it's interesting, again, with cosell and ali, it's a bit of a devil's bargain. sammy knew this was the biggest platform in america, and playing with sinatra and getting access to all of that was the golden ticket to his career, and they genuinely loved each other,

told teach about judaism for ten minutes a week. >> i would say probably not. >> you mentioned at theeginning of your remarks in important prayer that takes about 20 seconds to say an that math teacher was told to beginn e3 class with this. >> i don't think that is likely to fall within it because it again would be de minimis -- >> in math teacher who was told to him by the jewish values and views and instruction. >> if it is that alone, probably not. >> i really am asking these things alone. a nurse at a catholic hospital praise with sick patients and is told otherwise to tend to the religious needs. >> i think a nurse doing that kind of counseling and prayer may fall within the exception. >> a communication staffer that prepares staff releases -- press releasesll. >> that should fall within because of the communication under the hernandez case from theth seventh circuit. >> counselor in the church affiliated rehab clinic urges his patients to reconnect with their faith community. >> that would be probably that t depends on how much connecting there is. >> and employee at a soup kitc

. >> he is a slice of them who are in fact racist and sexist and most of judaism homophobic. but that doesn't exhaust the whole group. there is a racist slice. just a slice. it. >> they come from. inaudible. >> but there's also a slice of trump voters outvoted from ernie and had voted for obama. so you have to keep track of what diversity, if you never want to downplay the role of this vicious legacy of white supremacy in the country. this note that about it. you can't allow it to be the only thing that you see. black intellectual these days, when all you can see is white supremacy. it's always linked to something else. links to predatory capitalism pretty plain to slavery and jim crow and patriarchy. and homophobia and also linked to empire. even at black white soldiers come together and go to the philippines and treat the philippines like they are cockroaches. and they were americans predict because you have an now pretty to have to be very honest and telling the truth. whether or not brother robbie and i, we can tell the truth of who they are. they are henry of jail flight

just to fill, un rat pack were to italians, a jew and a african america that converted to judaism.he son-in-law of the president was also in the group. a lot of their humor was very hard-hitting. it was because semi was not only black, but also the youngest of the group, and was physically short he was picked up a lot. he was picked up often and said i want to thank the and double acp for giving me this award. the documentary really doesn't come down on any side. mood beautiful goldberg and crystal who assistance oblique were sensitive to that said in the entertainment business with was. what we don't remember, because we don't see them, are the clips of dean martin being told he was a drunk and anti italian jokes about sinatra and anti jewish jokes about bishop, but because of the world in which we lived understandably, it bubbled to the surface. it is interesting again, with coal cell and only, it is a bit of a devils bargain because semi knew that this was the biggest platform in america, and playing with sinatra and getting access to all of that was the golden ticket to his car

and if you do not know, the rat pack were to italians, when you, an african american converted to judaismthe son-in-law of the president. a lot of their humor was very hard-hitting. because semi was not only black but was the youngest of the group, and was physically short, he was picked on a lot through all sorts of things. dean martin used to pick him up and say i'd like to thank the and w. cpp for this tremendous award. oh cut that out! ha. the documentary does not come down on any side because what pete goldberg and billy crystal who would on stance doubly be sensitive to that and say any entertainment business that was the way it was. what we do not remember because we do not see them with the clips of dean martin being told he was a drunk or anti jewish jokes about joey bishop, but because the world within which we live, understandably this sammy stuff bubble to the surface. again with mohammed ali, it is a bit of a devils bargain because i sammy knew that this was the biggest platform in america. playing with sinatra and getting access to all of that was the golden ticket to his ca
