On the one hand, this means perceiving the place where one stands as part of The Place. On the other hand, one cannot fully grasp where one stands until one understands the miraculous workings of the earth that lies, quite literally, beneath our feet at whichever place we find ourselves. Jeremy Benstein, a leading expert on Judaism and the Environment, has written, “Deeply rooted local environmentalism begins with the knowledge and caring that can only come from that natural sense of place, including the technical knowledge and familiarity with the ecology of one’s ‘bio-region,’ as well as a spiritual connection and sense of belonging. which informs a cultural language and perspective that shapes and is shaped by that place.” Simply put, our understanding of The Place enriches our appreciation for our place. And a deep understanding of our place helps us approach The Place. On Wednesday night, Feb. 11, after minyan at 8 PM we will explore how theology and ecology are intricately, and elegantly, interwoven. Please join us. 01:05:00Bnai TikvahnoSpriituality,jewish,rabbi wolkoff,b'nai TikvahIn Judaism, one of G-d’s names is Hamakom, “The Place.” To have a conscious relationship with G-d, one must have a deep understanding of place.

To explain both what the Jewish tradition mandates, and, perhaps more important, the wisdom behind the tradition. We will come to understand why it is not appropriate to be buried in regular clothes, why above-ground burial is forbidden, why we use a simple coffin, and what to say (and not say!) to a mourner. 01:30:00Bnai TikvahnoJewish,Death,MourningA discussion of the many different aspects of the death and mourning process, including the traditions concerning the taharah, the chevra kaddisha, the burial,http://www.blogtalkradio.com/bnaitikvah/2008/12/11/a-survey-of-jewish-history-part-3Judaismhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/bnaitikvah/2008/12/11/a-survey-of-jewish-history-part-3/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/bnaitikvah/2008/12/11/a-survey-of-jewish-history-part-3Thu, 11 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMTA Survey of Jewish History - Part 3The topic of Jewish history is vast, spanning four thousand years and the entire globe.

At the same time, Germans and Allies alike claimed "they knew nothing" of the horrors that had been ongoing for nearly 5 years. Our view of the military and diplomatic history of World War II has been shaped by the assumption that there was no awareness of ongoing genocide, that it had been kept as "a terrible secret." The latest research gives us another picture altogether. This lecture offers incontrovertible evidence of exactly who knew what, and when and the moral implications of this new information.01:30:00Bnai TikvahnoHolocaust,Jewish,KristallnachtAfter the war, the full enormity of Nazi genocide became clear.
