Inspiration for the Nation with Yaakov LangerMendy Levy: Escaping The Extremist Lev Tahor Cult & Finding HashemMendy Levy was born in 2003 in Canada to parents who were members of Lev Tahor, an extremist Jewish cult founded in the 1980s. Shunned by members of other Jewish groups and facing a kidnapping scandal, its leader Shlomo Helbrans had moved Lev Tahor to Canada in the 1990s.

Taiwan MonitorWarum wurde Han Kuo-yu abgewählt?Han Kuo-yu, der frühere Bürgermeister von Kaohsiung, galt als große Hoffnung der KMT, der größten Oppositionspartei Taiwans. Er hat im November 2018 die Bürgermeisterwahl in der DPP-Hochburg Kaohsung gewonnen und ein großer Hoffnungsträger der KMT bei der Präsidentschaftswahl im Januar 2020. Er hat nicht nur die Präsidentschaftswahl deutlich verloren, sondern ist nun auch als Bürgermeister von Kaohsiung abgewählt worden. Radio Taiwan International sprach mit Fulbright-Forscher Lev Nachman – er ist auch Experte für kleinere Parteien in Taiwan.2020-06-2200 minThe Strait Up PodcastThe influence of Taiwan's small political partiesTune into Taiwan Today as Natalie Tso speaks with Fulbright Scholar, Lev Nachman, who is studying Taiwan's small political parties in Taiwan.

Taiwan InsiderSound of Silence[World’s first Urban Quiet Park]
While most of Taiwan was focusing on the nation’s first-ever recall of a mayor, in the southern city of Kaohsiung, the northern city of Taipei was celebrating something much quieter: the world’s first Urban Quiet Park!
In today’s show, we turn to Fulbright Scholar Lev Nachman for some insight into why Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu was recalled. Then, we take you for a walk down a silent path in Yangmingshan.

The Arts of TravelLev Nachman on Taiwan's path to Democracy & fending off both China and US imperialismToday is the 228 Holiday in Taiwan, which marks a bloody incident, and long 70+ year struggle, that eventually gave birth to Taiwan's now flourishing civil society and democracy. This stands in stark contrast to a China that demand Taiwan return to its authoritarian fold, and a Hong Kong still desperately trying to escape China and chart its own democratic future.
To help our non-Taiwan listeners better understand Taiwan and this important day, I'm joined by Researcher and PhD Candidate Lev Nachman, for an honest and engaging discussion on Taiwan's past, its current systems of Universal Health Care, Gay Marriage and Indigenous...2020-02-281h 15

Nach DailyMishlei Perek 27I hope you’re all doing well today. Welcome to NachDaily Mishlei Perek 27.
This chapter opens with the words “Al tisahallel b’yom machar, ki lo seida mah yeiled yom - Do not brag about tomorrow, for you do not know what the day will bring.” Metsudos and Rashi explain that you shouldn't be so certain about tomorrow’s occurrences because we cannot know what the next day will bring.
Psychologically speaking, why worry about tomorrow when you can live in the present? We often use our minds to think of the future, which creates anxiety, stress and worry. When we come ba...2019-05-3003 min
Nach DailyMishlei Perek 20Welcome to another episode of Nach Daily, with Mishlei, Perek 20.
In this perek Shlomo Hamelech continues to describe the derech tova v’hara, the positive and negative paths of life.
Those who are lazy and do not plow in the proper time will have nothing to harvest when they actually need to eat. The deeper meaning is that this world is the time to plow with Mitzvos, Torah and Tefilah. When we fail to do that, we’ll have nothing to “feed” our neshamas in Olam Habah when the time comes for us to reap the fruit of our labor.
Verse 5...2019-05-1503 min
