the talmud is commentary on the torah. in its original languages, the talmud was studied primarily by students and scholars. now, the steinsaltz talmud will make it available to everyone. the holiest site in all judaism is in jerusalem, the western wall of the second temple, destroyed in the year 70. the devout come to the wall to pray, and so do many 13-year-old boys at the time of their bar mitzvahs, when they take on the full responsibilities of adults. one of those duties is studying the torah, with its 613 laws about how to live. the torah, for rabbi steinsaltz, is a divine guide, a map of the paths and the main road through a world of danger and blessings -- in his words, lions and angels. >> we are living in a world we really don't know what are the paths. we don't know what are the ways. we don't even know what the main road is. so we need some kinds of signs to tell us that here live lions, and here possibly live angels. that's mostly what the torah is, a book basically of instructions -- go this way, go the other

, so the wise child, his body is the torah, his arm is the torah pointer, his head is an open book.he wicked son, or the wicked child, is in a suit of armor. the first time the wicked son was depicted in an illustrated haggadah was in 1526, the prague haggadah, where the wicked child is depicted in a suit of armor. the first time the ten plagues were illustrated was in the venice haggadah from 1609, and i came up with just illustrating one plague, the last plague, when god slays the first-born of egypt, and the way i depicted that was by having a wing and the mummies of the dead egyptians on the wing. the traditional haggadah text doesn't even mention moses. it's repeatedly said it's god who led the children of israel out of egypt. it wasn't an angel, it wasn't an angel of fire, it wasn't a messenger. it was god and it's a very beautiful passage. the tradition is that all the jewish people were at sinai for the receiving of the torah. so there were the tents of the children of israel, and what i did was to identify them as such i put the flags representing the various tribes. i drew

and seniors, and like the young lady said, this is where they should be going, on the streets -- the torah is coming into the area. they are not spending any money there. nowhere around alamo square. there is nothing for them to buy. they can go into the park and that is about all that they can do. i think you should stop the tour buses from going on the street, because what i am hearing is the fact that the school is still open there, the children are coming there, -- children are going to the park to study there, and the disrespect, not just the sound but going into the school there, but inhaling all of the toxins in this area, this is ridiculous. i hope you will listen and do something about what the people are saying that live there. no one seems to be listening, to get the feeling of the people who live in this area. thank you. >> i am anna, a resident of san francisco, and an operator of tour buses. i enjoy working in this field, from 40 years ago. we were able to do a beautiful city tour of san francisco and show people how beautiful that this city was. little by little, the places

surely the the the the tensions in the north the grievances legitimate or not what can debate of the torah those are all are you going problems but certainly there was a new employee sport without all fires that's why the m.l.o. u.s. military commander. is a colonel in the libyan army maybe he would have been sent anyway but the fact is he had the fighters that for me the the tip of the spear here in the simulator is that it's a military you have james jump in here and he defected from the libyan military. hunger what he was doing in libya having been chased out by. government allied militia from from mali in two thousand and nine i was trying to encourage. members of the gadhafi military to come back to join them in a way and to bring with them. vehicles which they. which they did and it's interesting to see that it was long before he actually fell ok after the benghazi uprising but before gadhafi fell and also importantly before the no fly zone that senior commander started to leave the forces taken with them. and heading back towards northern mali in order. jane let me jump in right her

the fact that there are legitimate grievances and and desires in the north of especially among the torah but other peoples in the north as well that they have to be met in some way shape or form what is preoccupying is the presence of the islamist forces that i want to get to that point in the next time i want to go to that next point in the next part of the james real quick before we go to the break how they are the claims for independence for the rebels right now how legitimate. definitely. i'm not so far saying that paid necessarily have been a cause for independence but they certainly have grievances that have not be met the concessions to be made to them in the previous peace accords just a few years ago and again in the early ninety's were not entirely mad and they do have legitimate grievances and it is clear that some form of increased or ptolemy and integration of. international life. ok we'll talk about the security element in the next part of the program after a short break we'll continue our discussion on the situation in mali stay. live. live. real live. the speech. if you.

and for the torah but for didn't run the money for a number on the money or would you think. it took five prison terms two divorces and being shunned by his family for ronald to finally manage to walk away he hasn't gambled for three years but for the gambling industry addictions like his mean profit today one in ten seventeen year olds is at risk of developing the same dangerous compulsion a shocking statistic from a leaked regulators report the industry tried to silence so you have a gambling rate regulator which is relatively feeble which is in bed with the gambling industry which isn't in the slightest degree interested in the prevention of gambling harm and there's the rub britain's one of the few countries in the developed world that actually allows children to gamble in this in places like this they would actually let us film inside but even kids are allowed to play on the arcade machines in there with a jackpot of up to five pounds johns just eighteen and has already been gambling for four years first scratch cards then the lottery now online poker but gives it a win.

can be of the torah those are all ongoing problems but certainly there was a new employee to sport with such why the m.l.o. is military commander jim is was a four hour colonel in the libyan army. just reminded what crosstalk it's time on this channel a group of california and sort of spin right now over how the golden state's going green these days communities say they're blighted by government subsidize wind farms which are damaging the environment and reward life he's been coaching ever reports of what it's like living in the shadow of these giant generators. vibration in the east and flushing grants troops at night not exactly environmentally friendly see those living right next to these little tainting giants are all completely paid by taxpayers subsidies clearly rate increases it's a complete corruption by our politicians and it relates to restart now robert moran and his wife are running you can paint and start energy companies building the windmills even closer to his home. in many small rural towns in the whole it's sort of a money pit where our taxpayer money is going into the

banks over there been quite central bank bank for government also mahler's bankrupt implemented as torah to package in these circumstances so everybody will see this rule this won't work but what i see is that spain is the last nail in the euro zone coffin when politicians are talking about adjustment adjustment is such a nice word what it means in reality that people there have to become poorer when you are in government and you have to tell it to the people of the people are feeling we're becoming poorer you are in a big big difficulty this could easily lead to a domestic reaction and this could also trigger more problems in the other southern countries here in europe. in addition to the deepening debt crisis in the e.u. there are also growing concerns over soaring oil prices falling the west sanctions against iran france britain and the us are considering releasing oil reserves on to the market to drive down crude costs from the national iranian american council believes that sanctions were just a knee jerk reaction the repercussions only being felt now. the real problem here is that

i don't think that the torah got prizing was too much directly to do with the fall of gadhafi actually. helps for the timing and the intensity of this rebellion this rebellion was planned before or before the uprising benghazi before nato intervention in libya the political arm of the n.r.a. was formed in october two thousand and ten long before the uprising in benghazi it's about to the military plans had been delayed by hunger who was in libya at the time but he'd been planning this from two thousand and nine onward so i i think that the fall of gadhafi. sped up the rebellion the time of the rebellion and possibly gotten more arms but i don't think that this is a direct consequence i don't think that narrative is that hopeful ok peter what do you think about that in washington it's an epiphenomenon i think a direct result. but surely the the the the tensions in the north feet grievances legitimate or not what can debate. those are all going problems but certainly there was a new empathy with the outfall fires i.d.m. ellie's military commander archeology is was a for a colonel in the

the torah, the bible is written in black fire and white fire. black fire are the letters you see, and white fire is the message in between the lines, and that's where the meaning is. when i pick up this book and read it and ask what is the meaning of this book? let's save that for the questions later. >> thank you very much. [applause] >> i don't work unless i'm plugged in. >> in the right one? you're up. >> okay. i'm wired. well, i want to thank you all for coming to hear about this gentleman who has occupied the six years of my life. my story is about an improbable navy hero who, in all likelihood, couldn't thrive in the navy today. he would have too many things going against him. he was a high school dropout, he hadn't, he had no college background. worse, he hadn't been to the naval academy. virtually a precondition for success in the navy in the 1920s. yet this gentleman started at the bottom in 1918 as an electrician third class in the naval reserve. nevertheless, on may 30, 1986, president reagan awarded him a distinguished service medal.

you can find them in the koran, and the torah, and it can certainly find them in the bible. it is -- that is what we are dealing with our tactics. the idea that we need to prevent catastrophic types of tactics from hurting any nation, whether it is our nation or any other free world as we know it today. that ought to be one of our prairie goals and one of our prairie objectives here. -- primary objectives here. we forget the asymmetrical value of terrorist tactics. those are the kinds of things that present real danger to us. i also hope that we do not get overconfident here based on what we have heard here today. that we should never underestimate the enemy or the other people or anything like that that bridge disaster in the long haul. we want to be very careful. the terrace attack that date tactics and the attack that occurred on the 23rd of october in 1983 against the marine headquarters in beirut and the french headquarters and the israeli headquarters. not many people really realize that within a few minutes, the terrorists took out three major headquarters of three di

i realize there are differences of views in whether the old testament, the torah, the tanach have valid legitimacy these days. some of us believe them and are proud to do so, just as the founders of the 56 signers of the declaration of independence, over half of them were ordained christian ministers who believed in the old testament. i've been looking in the old testament for wisdom, application to our current situation because we know back in earlier this year, "the washington post" was told by this administration that the window during which israel was going to likely attack iran was between two different dates, during a certain period. that's not very helpful to an ally. when we tell the world about when an ally may choose to defend itself. that's more a heads up to an enemy of the united states, a sworn enemy of the united states, led by people who have sworn to the destruction of the united states and israel. so it's a little bit confusing to see how this administration could be going about betraying our friend israel. it would seem that when this administration leaked to the medi
