the Joshua Schall Audio ExperiencePROMIX Nutrition Acquired By Largest Private Equity Firm Dedicated to Sustainable Food Chain InvestingThough it certainly wouldn’t go down as the biggest acquisition, totally overlooking last week’s PROMIX Nutrition deal will prove detrimental for any founder building within the supplement industry. In 2011, Albert Matheny founded PROMIX after being unable to find products that matched his standards for ingredient quality, science-backed performance, and product safety. PROMIX lives by the simple mantra “no artificial anything.” To control the product (and ingredient) quality, PROMIX develops its formulas in-house, controls its own supply chain (with 94% of ingredients sourced from North America), and independent lab testing on finished products is available transparently online. Moreover, PROMIX made a p...2024-12-0408 min

The Joshua Sigafus Podcast#597 - The #1 Thing Women Desire In Men (Lessons From John Gottman)In this episode, I read an excerpt from the book “The Man’s Guide To Women” by John Gottman, Julie Schwartz Gottman, Douglas Abrams, and Rachel Carlton Abrams, and talk about the number one thing that women look for and desire in the men they date, mate, and pair bond with. Here’s a hint—it’s not about six-pack abs, money, or being tall (though those are all things that can help). It’s actually a lot more fundamental than that.

Reb Josh's TorahMaking Teachers & Finding Friends: A Life of Learning (Pirkei Avot 11)"Make for yourself a teacher, acquire for yourself a friend." (Pirkei Avot 1:6)
Well, we've come to the end of our regular, weekly classes. We took 2+ years of disruption and filled them with instruction (forgive me).
Our last class focuses on how we can take our learning into our own hands, by seeking out the supports we need to walk that path. How can we find teachers in our lives and make friendships of mutual support, so we're not going it alone?

Reb Josh's TorahMaking Room to Learn: The Teacher/Student DynamicWe look at a selection from Pirkei Avot's 48 ways to learn Torah and delve into the nature of the teacher / student relationship. We discover how, in the ideal situation, there is room made for the student to contribute, question, even to critique. This topic sets us up as this series comes to a close, as we ask ourselves how we can steward our own learning in the future.

Reb Josh's TorahWhat We Owe to Others, Or: How Not to Be a Sodomite (Pirkei Avot 9)Pirkei Avot lists four ways of being in the world, and believing that "what is mine is mine, and what is yours is yours" is seen as either being an intermediate position or... the character of the wicked city of Sodom.
Once we dig into what kind of society Sodom had, we see that maintaining that hands-off attitude ends up eventuating into force, violence, and cruelty. Is there a way we can keep from such a devolution? Can we reprogram how we see ourselves in relation to others?2022-07-121h 29
Reb Josh's TorahTurn It Over, Turn It Over: Effort & Diligence on the Way to Wisdom (Pirkei Avot #7)"Turn it over and turn it over, for all is in it." These are the stirring words of Ben Bag Bag, indicating that the task of Torah is an immense one. Torah itself is vast, containing "all," but so, then, is our relation to it, which demands our deep commitment, our persistence, and our consistence. A kind of resilience is asked of us, for the path of Torah (or of life) is not always easy, but, then again, "according to the struggle is the reward."

Reb Josh's TorahThe Work Is Great but the Day Is Short: Rabbi Tarfon's Tips to Avoiding Burnout (Pirkei Avot #6)Last class, we looked at how Pirkei Avot called on us to see our efforts and our labour as potential sources of spiritual value. But if everything is transcendent & meaningful, then it's quite easy to become obsessed, lose balance, and eventually burnout.
How can we stay committed when the task at hand is so great? Tune in to find out!

However, how can we bring what we have received and learned into our normal, workaday lives? How can we find the sacred within our toil?

Reb Josh's TorahThese Three Things: The Foundations of the World (Pirkei Avot #2)We usually associate groups of three with a different religion, but Pirkei Avot presents us with two different teachings about the three things upon which the world stands:
- Torah - Din
- Avodah - Emet
- Gemilut Hasadim - Shalom
What do each of the items have to do with each other with their respective groupings, and are the two triads related, or do they stand alone? Tune in to find out!2022-05-101h 11
Reb Josh's TorahTime of Our Liberation: What Passover Teaches Us about FreedomFreedom is a concept bandied about so much nowadays, but it mostly has to be with being freed *from* something: oppression, regulation, responsibility. Of course, liberation requires being free of the forces that demean you, but it's a thin conception of freedom that sees its end-goal as being rid of any and all expectations. It's a child's notion of freedom.
Passover presents us with a more complex and more robust notion of freedom, in which our liberation from slavery freed us to commit ourselves to that which is actually worthy of that infinite gift: the free self...2022-04-121h 22
Reb Josh's TorahThe Need to Feed: Heter Mechirah & the Politics of FoodOnce our relation to the Land changed, after the destruction of the Temple and the advent of the Exile, our Halachic obligations to the Land changed as well. But once Jews have not only resettled within Israel but also taken political control, does that mean that the Biblical laws of the Land have reactivated... including Shemitah?
To ensure that Jewish-owned fields did not fall into disorder, some prominent rabbis endorsed the Heter Mechirah, which facilitated the temporary sale of fields to non-Jewish owners. Other rabbis saw it as an inappropriate work-around and opposed the legal innovation.

Reb Josh's TorahProzbul: Legal Fiction or Moral Fact?In the Mishnah, it is reported that Hillel instituted the "Prozbul" for the sake of Tikkun Olam, to keep the world going. What is the Prozbul? It's a way for the court to take over a debt so it is not canceled when the Shemitah arrives.
Is this some kind of technical workaround, what scholars call a legal fiction, to evade the strictures of the Sabbatical year, or, in a surprising way, was Hillel actually trying to preserve the ideals of the Shemitah within the conditions of the real world?

Haman was supposed to be honoured, but it was Mordechai who got the parade. Esther took a bold risk & revealed herself to be a proud Jew. The Jews were supposed to be killed, but we emerged triumphant.

Reb Josh's TorahLiberation & Jubilation: On the YovelShemitah is the culmination of the seven year cycle, and the Yovel is Shemitah squared! 7 times 7 plus one... imagine the catharsis, imagine the release. "Proclaim liberation throughout the land!"
While in Shemitah, agricultural work ceases and all debts are canceled, in Yovel, all relations of human bondage are ended and all the ways we think we can own the earth or another human being are shown to be, ultimately, fictional.2022-03-081h 39
Reb Josh's TorahSabbatical: On Shemitah & ShabbatThe Torah refers to both the Sabbath and the Sabbatical year as a "Shabbat Lashem," a Sabbath for G-d. How do Shabbat and Shemitah interrelate? What can we learn, one from another? And, if they are both "Sabbath[s] for G-d," in what ways can we access the Divine on and through them?

Reb Josh's TorahA Happy Heart Is Always Feasting: on Purim Katan(Normal) Purim is defined by our reading the Megillah, giving out gift baskets, praising G-d for miracle, but when it comes to Purim Katan, the pre-Purim Purim of the leap year, the Rabbis cannot seem to get it together. What do we do, and what does it mean? It seems like it's just another day... but is that actually its secret? And does that teach us something powerful about Torah, obligation, and celebration?

But Shemitah also entails a radical revolution of the economic sphere as well! How does Shemitah intervention into the credit economy change our society? Can Shemitah help us relearn how all economic relations are, at heart, human relations?

Reb Josh's TorahThe Earth's Rest, the Rest of Us (Intro to Shemitah, 1 of 2)At the climax of a seven year cycle, we are commanded to allow the earth to rest. It's a tall order, a utopian vision. So, we must ask ourselves: what is this drastic intervention in normal economic and social life meant to accomplish? Another way of putting that is: how are we supposed to be left when we begin the next sabbatical cycle?

But how did it transform from a fiscal marker of how to account for your orchard & its produce to become a mystical communion with majesty of G-d's grove?

Reb Josh's TorahThe Earth Is the Lord's 2: Serving G-d & Conserving CreationIn this second session of Beth Lida's new series on Judaism & the environment, we look to Halachah. After recognizing the theological significance of our being creatures in a created world, we ask what responsibilities such a realization entails?
The class focuses on the mitzvah of Bal Tashchit (do not destroy), and we trace its development from being a regulation forbidding a kind of total war into being the regulation of our use of natural resources. Finally, we attempt a kind of rehabilitation to develop a more robust account of Bal Tashchit, one that serves the very precarious...2022-01-051h 41
Reb Josh's TorahThe Earth Is the Lord's 1: Creation / TheologyIn this new series, we will explore what Torah has to say about creation, the environment, and our relationship to it. Judaism is rightly identified as an anthropocentric religion, as special place is made for the human being in the scheme of creation. But we have forgotten the privilege and responsibility that comes with that central role, vis a vis the rest of creation. We have forgotten that we, too, are creatures. This class focuses on the major principles that help to define what a Jewish ecology can look like.2021-12-291h 37Reb Josh's TorahLight in/and the Darkness: Hanukkah and the Imperative to HopeHanukkah is called the Festival of Lights, but it always occurs in the deepest, darkest time of the year.

Reb Josh's TorahAvodah: The Work of Change (Yom Kippur 5782)The Avodah service, perhaps the most obscure bit of the Yom Kippur liturgy, is caught in a bind. On one hand, it describes the climax of the holiest day of the year, the Temple ritual in which our sins are carried away; but on the other hand, it mourns the absence of the Temple and the High Priest, who effected that spiritual catharsis.
Are we left in the shadow of a lost golden age, or are we still able to access the miracle of forgiveness, in which we are loosed from what has bound us?

Reb Josh's TorahResounding in the Heavens: How the Shofar Affects G-d (2 of 2)Last week, we focused on the way the Shofar impacts (or is supposed to impact) us, but if we know anything about sound-waves, it's that they resonate and emanate outwards... and the Shofar's sound reaches all the way to heaven.
In this Shi'ur, we will look at the way the Shofar's blasts reach G-d, how they influence what occurs in the heavenly court, and what G-d needs from us to actualize what Rosh Hashanah is supposed to be.
