The End of the World Book ClubI’ve never read… Nineteen Eighty-Four | with Ariel BissettEach season I’ll be tackling an apocalyptic or dystopian classic that I’ve put off reading for some reason. And it only felt fitting to start with one of the most famous dystopian novels: Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. Join me and guest Ariel Bissett (YouTuber, Podcaster and Orwell Enthusiast!) as we talk about why this book is still so relevant today and discuss whether it’s an accessible classic.
Spoiler levels for this episode: Medium (no massive spoilers for the plot, but we do discuss a few specific scenes)

This week, the Rabbis discuss Parashat Devarim (https://www.sefaria.org/Deuteronomy.1.1?lang=bi&aliyot=0) through the lenses of leadership, status power, and ethics.
אֵיכָ֥ה אֶשָּׂ֖א לְבַדִּ֑י טׇרְחֲכֶ֥ם וּמַֽשַּׂאֲכֶ֖ם וְרִֽיבְכֶֽם׃
How can I bear unaided the trouble of you, and the burden, and the bickering!
הָב֣וּ לָ֠כֶ֠ם אֲנָשִׁ֨ים חֲכָמִ֧ים וּנְבֹנִ֛ים וִידֻעִ֖ים לְשִׁבְטֵיכֶ֑ם וַאֲשִׂימֵ֖ם בְּרָאשֵׁיכֶֽם׃
Give for yourselves from each of your tribes candidates who are wise, discerning, and experienced, and I will appoint them as your heads.”

New DimensionsAn Evolutionary Crisis Leads to An Evolutionary Birth - Carolyn Baker, Ph.D. - ND3782Humanity is poised on a threshold that could be described as a global dark night of the soul.
