Louisiana ConsideredMuch of La.’s opioid settlement money hasn’t been spent; special effects artist on road from taxidermy to HollywoodIt’s been nearly three years since landmark settlements were reached between states and major opioid producers. Since then, roughly $100 million has been dispersed to combat addiction, but it's unclear how much of that money has been spent so far. The Current’s Alena Mashke joins us for more on the lack of spending transparency. From Star Wars to Jurassic Park, Hollywood movies and TV shows have long relied on special effects to bring supernatural stories to life. This process often involves sculpting, puppetry, animatronics and technology – and has many times involved Louisiana native and Emmy-awar...

בהמשך למדובר לאחרונה על מ"ש הרמ"א להלכה בסיום השו"ע ש"טוב לב משתה תמיד" – התערב ה"קלוגינקער" וכו', ולכן יש צורך להבהיר עוה"פ אודות האיסור דשתיית משקה לפני גיל ארבעים, והתנאים שבזה וכו'. יש לזכור שהרמ"א כותב הנ"ל לא במקום שמדובר על ענינים תמידיים שבכל יום אלא בסוף הל' פורים. ובפשטות: רוב ציווי השו"ע קשורים עם הגבלה בזמן ומקום. לדוגמא, הציווי "לבסומי" הוא בפורים דוקא. הציווי לאכילת מצה – בליל א' דפסח דוקא ולא לאחרי הפסח (למרות שבאכילת מצה בפסח הוא "אוכל אמונה"!), ואם ירצה לברך על מצה לאחרי הפסח ה"ז בגדר "בוצע ברך וגו'" ר"ל! ובנוגע לעניננו: ההנהגה ד"טוב לב משתה תמיד" כפשוטו – שייכת למעמד ומצב מיוחד של שמחה כמו בפורים, ואילו בשאר הזמנים ה"ז באופן שמובא בפרש"י על פסוק זה "(כל ימי עני רעים) וטוב לב משתה תמיד" "ורבותינו דרשו מה שדרשו בחלק [במס' סנהדרין]" ושם דקאי על "בעלי משנה" או "בעלי תלמוד"!ד' חלקים משיחת אור ליום ג' פ' ויחי, י"ב טבת – המשך "דידן נצח" ה'תשמ"ז

Synopsis
In connection to what has been discussed lately regarding the Rema’s statement at the end of the Shulchan Aruch – that “he who has a cheerful heart always has a feast” – because the “smart aleck” (yetzer hara) has gotten involved etc., it’s necessary to once again bring up the prohibition of drinking mashke before the age of forty, and the conditions placed upon it etc. It’s important to remember that the Rema writes this not in the context of daily practice, but at the end of the laws of Purim. Most of the Shulchan Aruch’s requirements are tied to a specific time and place. For example, the obligation to “become intoxicated” applies specifically on Purim, and the mitzvah of eating matzah applies specifically on the first night of Pesach, not after Pesach (even though eating matzah during Pesach is considered “eating faith”); if one wishes to make a bracha on matzah after Pesach, it would fall under the category of “the robber who blesses…” Rachmana litzlan. In this case: the practice of “he who has a cheerful heart always has a feast” in the literal sense applies specifically to joyous

Synopsis
[The Rebbe instructed to sing the Niggun Nye Zhuritze Chloptzi, and then explained:] The plain meaning of this niggun is that you shouldn’t worry because when we get to the inn, there will be mashkeh there. The Mitteler Rebbe’s Chassidim would sing this niggun,, and they would add that nevertheless, a little mashkeh is necessary for journey until you get to the inn. The lesson is: the Jewish people are the “handiwork of Hashem,” and therefore they are eternal; even the body of a Jew is holy and was chosen by Hashem, and will also be eternal (which is why every Jew has a portion in the World to Come, the World of Resurrection), and ultimately, “he who is banished will not be cast away” – they will all arrive at their true place, the “inn.” But nevertheless it is demanded of a Jew that until he gets there, he needs a little “mashke” in order to endure the travails of the journey. Similarly, although one knows that the ultimate performance of mitzvos will be only when Moshiach comes, he must not wait until then in order to fulfill them, because in order to get there he needs to keep the

Radio EshkolotJews & BoozeAlcoholism is the distinction and privilege of being human (Leon Trotsky)In spite of a common misconception that "Jews don't drink as much as others", often combined with an anti-Semitic libel that "Jews profit from inebriating the common folk", Jewish spirituality is deeply associated with distilled spirits. There is no better demonstration of this than the ubiquity of Yiddish drinking songs, both sacred and profane. Radio Eshkolot presents a selection of songs about vodka (yash, mashke) performed live for Eshkolot by legendary Moscow garage-klezmer guitarist Vanya Zhuk of the band Nayekhovichi.

This episode includes a new, queerified version of Mikhl Gordon’s song “Mashke,” written and performed by Noam Lerman and Leana Jealen. You can find the lyrics here on google docs, both for the beginning parts which are true to the original, and to the new parts written by Noam and Leana. They performed this for the Yidish Vokh “Talentanya,” and then we went ahead and recorded it in the only quiet space with good acoustics at the Vokh: inside of a closet. The irony did not escape us!
