Busch, author of the book Snapshots: In Memory of Ben. One can only imagine what it is like to lose a son or daughter, and Alan was able to put it into words for those wanting to listen. An observant Jew, Mr. Busch says his faith never wavered, even after having lost his son, having gone through a divorce, and developing Parkinson's disease. This week's show is sure to be remembered by all. You can see some of his pertinent and other writings at his blog &lt;a href="http://www.writersstockintrade.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://www.writersstockintrade.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://thebookofben.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://thebookofben.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; .

Over a decade ago, Shayna was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a debilitating disease which can cause widespread pain and unwanted cold to the limbs. With the help of traditional medicine and a newfound connection with the spiritual realm, she was able to overcome classic symptoms of the disease, and today considers herself cured, having hiked to the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu and developed classes and radio broadcasts based on her art.

Yes, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Hashem&lt;/span&gt; made a covenant with them for which they would receive &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Hashem&lt;/span&gt;’s favor and the land of their forefathers, if they should only obey the commandments dictated in the Torah. One of these commandments, however, is that if we indeed find ourselves with the land in our possession, we are not, under any circumstances, to give even a square inch of it away, not to our enemies, and not to our friends. There is nothing wrong with the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;goyim&lt;/span&gt; (nations of the world) living amongst us in our own land, as long as they have no intention of harming us or our aspirations. But history has proven that there is indeed a divine connection to the land that we must acknowledge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the 5&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; book of Moshe &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Rabbeinu&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Devarim&lt;/span&gt; (Deuteronomy) comes to a close, Moshe dies and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Yehoshua&lt;/span&gt; picks up where he left off to lead the people in to the Promised Land. G-d instructs the Jews as to how they are to conduct themselves when they enter and possess the land:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;8. [Therefore] keep all the commandments that I command you this day, in order that you may be strong and come and possess the land to which you are crossing, to possess it,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;9. and in order that you may prolong your days on the land that the Lord swore to your forefathers to give to them and to their seed a land flowing with milk and honey.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;In &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Bereshis&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Raba&lt;/span&gt; 49, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Hashem&lt;/span&gt; says: Israel and the people of Israel are beloved by me-- I'll bring My beloved Israel to My beloved land.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This might be an appropriate time to add the following. It is said that each verse in the Torah corresponds to a year in the Jewish calendar. In other words, clear parallels should be seen between what it says in the Five Books of Moshe and major events in our history. Probably the most famous of these allusions is the example given for the 5708&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; verse in the Torah, which corresponds to the year 5708 (1948 in the secular calendar). &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;Devarim&lt;/span&gt; 30:2 states: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;and you will return to the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul, and you will listen to His voice according to all that I am commanding you this day you and your children&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;As everyone very well knows, 1948 was the year in which the people of Israel miraculously returned to their G-d given land after an inconceivable Hell on Earth consumed roughly a third of the Jewish population. The wars subsequently won in 1967, in which Israel reclaimed &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;Yerushalayim&lt;/span&gt;, and 1973, when practically the entire Arab world attempted to annihilate us on the holiest day of the year (&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;Yom&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;Kippur&lt;/span&gt;), were equally, if not more miraculous. These days, when remembering that period, we nostalgically recall the political figures who were at the forefront of a revolution. Golda Meir, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;Yitzhak&lt;/span&gt; Rabin, Moshe Dayan and Ariel Sharon. However, most of the veterans who lived it will admit that as a whole, the wars of modern Israel were nothing short of miraculous- or “luck” if they are that spiritually blind. Those who understood knew that G-d was pulling the strings for the Jewish people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is yet another miracle associated with the land. Prior to the Jews’ return shortly before 1948, the land of Israel was barren as it was destined to be when the Jews were exiled from it nearly 2000 years prior. After having visited the land in 1867, Mark Twain said this about it in his book, &lt;em&gt;The Innocents Abroad&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;“... A desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds... a silent mournful expanse.... a desolation.... we never saw a human being on the whole route.... hardly a tree or shrub anywhere. Even the olive tree and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil, had almost deserted the country.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;When the Jews slowly started coming back, they worked the land as others tried to do but could not. It began to blossom and bloom, the fields again became a lush green, and Israel would henceforth be known for its rich and diverse landscape.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say, the greatest Torah scholars and sages of our history were all vehemently against giving away an iota of Jewish land:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Lubavitcher &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;Rebbe&lt;/span&gt; of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;Chabad&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;“…here we are not discussing diplomacy, but the surrender of parts of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"&gt;Eretz&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22"&gt;Yisroel&lt;/span&gt;. The very fact that a negotiation on this is taking place is a desecration of G-D's Name and in opposition to G-D and His Torah.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to the acquisition of the state of Israel, it is said that the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23"&gt;Rebbe&lt;/span&gt; was not necessarily for taking back the land forcefully, as this was a famous dilemma in Jewish law. Once the land was given to us by the nations of the world, however, the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24"&gt;Rebbe&lt;/span&gt; would at every opportunity stand against dividing the land or giving any of it away to any other person, place or thing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25"&gt;Rav&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26"&gt;Avraham&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27"&gt;Shapira&lt;/span&gt;, just before he recently passed away at the age of 94, gave the following final statement:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;“The Land of Israel belongs to the Nation of Israel and was granted to us as an inheritance by the Creator of the world. Neither the Prime Minister nor anybody else has the right to give away areas, or even a grain, of the holy Land of Israel. The entire Land of Israel, according to the borders outlined in the Torah – belonged in the past, and belong in the present and future, only to the Nation of Israel, and it is forbidden by severe Torah prohibition to give up any of the territory of our holy land.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28"&gt;Rashi&lt;/span&gt;, arguably the premier commentator on the Torah who conjured endless words of wisdom for Jews to study to this very day, presents the following as his first ever commentary:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;R. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29"&gt;Yitzchok&lt;/span&gt; said: The Torah should have begun with [the verse] "This month shall be [your first month],"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a name="fn1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; it being the first precept that the Israelites were commanded.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a name="fn2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; Then why does it [the Torah] begin with "In the beginning"? This is because [of the concept contained in the verse,] "He declared the power of His works to His people in order to give to them the inheritance of nations."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a name="fn3"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; Thus, should the nations of the world say to Israel, "You are robbers, for you have taken by force the lands of the Seven Nations,"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a name="fn4"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; they [Israel] will say to them: "All the earth belongs to G-d. He created it and gave it to whomever He saw fit. It was His will to give it to them and it was His will to take it from them and give it to us."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Far from perfect, I need only a very small quantity of intellect to choose G-d, the sages of old and the true leaders of today, who are not necessarily recognized to the extent that they ought to be and will be, G-d willing, when the Redemption arrives. I stand against anyone and everyone who considers, even for a moment, the idea that it is permissible to let go of a square inch of G-d’s land. For who are we to be so arrogant in the Face of our Creator?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© 2007 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30"&gt;Yehoshua&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31"&gt;Avraham&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32"&gt;ben&lt;/span&gt; Ephraim &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33"&gt;Shmuel&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6371103977070654419-6733274573361179985?l=emunahradio.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://emunahradio.blogspot.com/feeds/6733274573361179985/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6371103977070654419&amp;postID=6733274573361179985' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6371103977070654419/posts/default/6733274573361179985'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6371103977070654419/posts/default/6733274573361179985'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://emunahradio.blogspot.com/2007/11/this-land-is-g-ds-land.html' title='This Land is G-d&apos;s Land'/><author><name>JewCrew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01780096011929904548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371103977070654419.post-1654507193781859104</id><published>2007-10-22T22:59:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-10-22T23:04:22.541-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Archive Is Back Up!</title><content type='html'>Shalom fans and everyone else!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm pleased to announce that all archived shows are once again up and running, so you can click on them to download and listen whenever you wish.

We apologize for the lateness in posting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Way back in late September of 2006, Robert (brother of Scott) and I made our first official broadcast on NoahChat.com! It was during the ten day period between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, and we talked about doing real tshuva (returning to Gd). It's been almost a year since then, and the fanbase has grown, Israel's been active, and much has been said. Oh, and Scott took Robert's place.&lt;br /&gt;Being that I am now running on a laptop with windows vista, I am having trouble switching between mic and stereo, and thus I cannot play music during the show without logging out of the room and coming back in. Gd willing, by September 20 next week this will be resolved and we will have an AMAZING one year anniversary show! We're looking forward to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I realize the links to previous shows are not working. Eddy, the man who used to host our shows on his website, unfortunately had to close his site. We understand completely as it does require a regular fee and this can be difficult to maintain. So I'll take the time here to thank Eddy for his many months of hosting services for our cause. He has helped us to achieve where we are now. Thanks Ed!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6371103977070654419-4084888128273372943?l=emunahradio.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://emunahradio.blogspot.com/feeds/4084888128273372943/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6371103977070654419&amp;postID=4084888128273372943' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6371103977070654419/posts/default/4084888128273372943'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6371103977070654419/posts/default/4084888128273372943'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://emunahradio.blogspot.com/2007/09/its-been-one-year.html' title='It&apos;s Been One Year!'/><author><name>JewCrew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01780096011929904548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371103977070654419.post-7966697565947957720</id><published>2007-08-15T20:13:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-08-15T20:21:12.380-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Shalom Fans!</title><content type='html'>Shalom fans! It's been a long time since the last posting and I figured it would only be appropriate to update you all on what has been going on and what will, in the future I"&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;YH&lt;/span&gt;, transpire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In late July we aired &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Mamamitzvah&lt;/span&gt; for the first time in many months, as well as &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Rav&lt;/span&gt; Eli from the Jewish Home (&lt;a href="http://www.thejewishhome.org/"&gt;www.thejewishhome.org&lt;/a&gt;) for the first time ever! The subject was Tu &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;B'Av&lt;/span&gt;, Jewish "date night", and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Rav&lt;/span&gt; Eli spoke as he always does, with &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;ruach&lt;/span&gt; and sophistication. It was a great show and can be downloaded from the archive section to the right of this post.&lt;br /&gt;In other news, we may or may not be having a show tomorrow night. It depends on several factors which are not completely up to me and Scott, so we will have to wait and see what happens! If we DO have a show, Gd willing &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Mamamitzvah&lt;/span&gt; will be on to play her interview with the Pollard family. It will be an excellent show I"&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;YH&lt;/span&gt;, whenever we are capable of airing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scott and I are considering broadcasting on TUESDAYS as well as Thursdays, for an equal amount of time. If you would like this to happen, bring in more fans! We need more consistent listeners, as well as suggestions for future improvements. We also might be broadcasting via another medium in addition to the Virtual Yeshiva. Again, this depends on the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;fanbase&lt;/span&gt;. So spread the word and help to make &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Emes&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;V'Emunah&lt;/span&gt; what it can be!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Cya&lt;/span&gt; soon Gd willing!&lt;br /&gt;-Josh&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6371103977070654419-7966697565947957720?l=emunahradio.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://emunahradio.blogspot.com/feeds/7966697565947957720/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6371103977070654419&amp;postID=7966697565947957720' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6371103977070654419/posts/default/7966697565947957720'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6371103977070654419/posts/default/7966697565947957720'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://emunahradio.blogspot.com/2007/08/shalom-fans.html' title='Shalom Fans!'/><author><name>JewCrew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01780096011929904548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371103977070654419.post-6285225047632005332</id><published>2007-07-26T16:46:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-07-26T16:52:24.805-05:00</updated><title type='text'>July 26</title><content type='html'>Shalom again, fans and everyone else! :P   We hope these three long weeks of mourning over the Temples' destruction didn't get you down... because we are BACK with all the news, halacha and great Jewish music that everyone hopefully loves.

Scott joined me as we discussed the [broken] curse of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Shimon&lt;/span&gt; Peres, the 17&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; of Tammuz, and the concept of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;"Kiddush&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Hashem"&lt;/span&gt;.

This way you will be able to click on the link corresponding to each episode and listen with little or no waiting time. I"&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;YH&lt;/span&gt; we will also be putting up a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;myspace&lt;/span&gt; for the show as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week we will I"&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;YH&lt;/span&gt; be having a show (Thursday at 8 PM eastern time), and Scott should be there as well.

The past two shows consisted of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Mamamitzvah&lt;/span&gt; and another guest debating about &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;halachic&lt;/span&gt; obligations to move to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Eretz&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Yisroel&lt;/span&gt;. Often when &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Mamamitzvah&lt;/span&gt; comes on the air, the conversation drifts to that subject as she is very passionate about the holy land, evident in the fact that she moved there several months ago as a true citizen. The first part of the debate was more intense, but I had to remind them to be careful with their words as they might offend one another. This week's show was more casual and each presented facts that were legitimate, so there was very little actual "debate" going on. Hopefully in the near future they will be able to come to a reasonable, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;halachic&lt;/span&gt; conclusion!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, Israel will I"&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;YH&lt;/span&gt; be replaced shortly with a new government, what I like to call the 18&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Chai&lt;/span&gt;" (Life) Knesset. G-d willing this will be the harbinger of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Moshiach&lt;/span&gt; speedily in our days, so may it be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you look to your right you will see a column of past recorded episodes of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Emes&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;V'Emunah&lt;/span&gt;, for your listening pleasure. I am in the process of adding more episodes to the archive. Thanks to Eddy from California again for continuing to host my shows on his site so I can link them to my blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, we are also in the process of setting up a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;myspace&lt;/span&gt; page for our show, for listeners to voice their opinions and give constructive criticism in order to enhance future episodes.

She was the first guest on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Emes&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;V'Emunah&lt;/span&gt; thus far! To her I say &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;yashar&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;koach&lt;/span&gt;. She spoke of her experiences of what occurred during what is considered by some to be the most violent period of human history. Among the listeners, tears would abound and critical questions would be posed to my grandmother, who answered them to the best of her ability, and with an open heart. This was the first time she had come in contact with a computer, much less the intricacies of the virtual studio where the show is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;broadcasted&lt;/span&gt; weekly. She loved the experience and thanked everyone who had the chance to listen to her strong words. Robert and Scott also gave a brief history of their family's experiences during the period of the Holocaust. The episode had developed such a quick reputation that shortly after she was asked to speak on Rabbi &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Tovia&lt;/span&gt; Singer's show, also aired on the Virtual Yeshiva, which was to commemorate the survivors and victims of the Holocaust. The rabbi's show can be heard on Israel National Radio's archive page, and my show can be heard here: &lt;a href="http://www.importantaudio.org/Emesvemunah/April%2012%20show.htm"&gt;http://www.importantaudio.org/Emesvemunah/April%2012%20show.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A big thanks goes out to Eddy of California for including my show on his awesome website, the product of much invested time (and money), Important Audio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following week was in commemoration of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Yom&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Hazikaron&lt;/span&gt;, Israel's version of Memorial Day. The show quickly took on a defensive tone, as &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;Mamamitzvah&lt;/span&gt; and another guest argued fervently about the controversial obligation to make aliyah (immigration/ascent) to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;Eretz&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;Yisroel&lt;/span&gt;. Although a sure conclusion was not reached between the two, they both send their sincere apologies to the listeners for perhaps being more abrasive than was necessary. In the future we will all make an effort to listen to the other side thoroughly and consider all rabbinic opinions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week's episode will surely be exciting and endorsed with plenty of a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;cappella&lt;/span&gt; music for the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;sefirah&lt;/span&gt; mourner's pleasure.

This week's show was great, especially since one of our dedicated listeners was able to voice her opinion for the first time in the noahchat! The topic was Jewish racism of the more civilized Arabs. Some of us thought that kind Arabs deserve to be treated the same way, and others believed that they are inherently against us and should thus be viewed as such. The debate got hot but we seemed to come to a logical and reasonable conclusion by the hour's end. Scott also did some halachos on Purim!

The setup of the virtual yeshiva has changed just a bit, so make sure your username still works for the noah chatroom, and if you don't have one, make one! It takes literally about 20 seconds and very little time to receive your password through your email address. So come on board and join the fans! There's more than enough space for everyone, after all it's all virtual :)&lt;br /&gt;Robert and I hope to meet more fans this week and accept comments and suggestions for future improvement. ALSO, VERY IMPORTANT!!!-- in a short time IY"H, we will be uploading past episodes onto itunes as podcasts so if you missed a show, you won't miss a show!

One can research the striking similarities and know that this is no coincidence, that he may have been the gilgul (reincarnation) of Nebuchadnezzar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that that's been said, I thank all the listeners for coming this past Thursday for the Emes V'Emunah Show, Chanukah Part 2. In addition to the many halachic rulings taught by the trusty Scott, I had as a guest once again Mamamitzvah, who spoke with me in memory of Michoel Timmerman aka Frisco. He was a dear friend of the Virtual Yeshiva where I host my radio show weekly, and will be sorely missed. Condolences can be made at Rabbi Eli's website, &lt;a href="http://www.thejewishhome.org"&gt;www.thejewishhome.org&lt;/a&gt;. Just go to the posts page and/or the links page to write on the forum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again this week Robert was unable to attend due to a stomach virus, which by next week hopefully IY"H will be gone so we can have a show together.

Very last minute, Robert called to tell me that he wasn't feeling well enough to have the show this week and thus, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;Chanukah&lt;/span&gt; Part 2 was regrettably postponed :( However, this is something that neither Robert nor I could control and I think a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;refua&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;shelema&lt;/span&gt; is in order for him. So, anyone wishing to email us at &lt;a href="mailto:emesradiolive@yahoo.com"&gt;emesradiolive@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt; can express get well wishes and with &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;Hashem's&lt;/span&gt; help we will continue &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;Chanukah&lt;/span&gt; Part 2 this Thursday at 8 PM EST! He's got one of those annoying little flu-like dizzy spell things where you just don't feel like doing much of anything, and it looks like we WILL be back on this Thursday. And I ask you to PLEASE PLEASE spread word of our show so that it can become even more successful in the future, because without the fans, we're nothing!&lt;br /&gt;I thank all the dedicated listeners out there! &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;Cya&lt;/span&gt; this Thursday &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;IY&lt;/span&gt;"H for another awesome show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Josh&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6371103977070654419-7324269136283127764?l=emunahradio.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://emunahradio.blogspot.com/feeds/7324269136283127764/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6371103977070654419&amp;postID=7324269136283127764' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6371103977070654419/posts/default/7324269136283127764'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6371103977070654419/posts/default/7324269136283127764'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://emunahradio.blogspot.com/2006/12/show-cancellation.html' title='Show Postponement'/><author><name>JewCrew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01780096011929904548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371103977070654419.post-3994544643780950575</id><published>2006-12-20T19:14:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-12-20T19:23:38.218-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Chanukah Part 2!</title><content type='html'>Today is Wednesday and you know what that means!
