Would You Like To Listen To Me? Literally

If you go here, you can hear an interview with me over Arutz 7 radio.

Click on Part 2.

I'm speaking about Shiloh, its history and archeology in honor of Tu B'Av.

Meet Me in the Radio Studio

So, my stint behind the mike is over.

The archived material, where you listen in, is here.

Substituting for Eve Harow, Yisrael Medad brought on four guests to discuss issues that are in the forefront of Jewish political life in Israel and abroad. Yisrael, a blogger at Arutz 7 and a long-time Yesha activist who resides in Shiloh, spoke with Elizabeth Berney who is the Republican candidate running for election in 2010 in New York's 5th Congressional District, the seat held by 13-term incumbent Gary Ackerman. Liz, interviewed in her Great Neck home, highlighted some troublesome developments relating to Ackerman's positions on Israel as well as other issues important to the 600,000 voters of Norht-east Queens and North-west Nassau County.

Caroline Glick spoke about her new Hebrew-language web site, www.latma.co.il, which is taking on Israel's own media with an especially satirical, sardonic and critical perspective. Explaining the central role the media plays in framing the knowledge and information Israelis receive, as well as that which is denied them, in addition to the left-wing bias, Caroline expanded on the uniqueness of the site and, in a new development, the use of humor to "take down" the media with webcast clips.

Executive Vice-President of Bnai Brith Canada and publisher of The Jewish Tribune, Frank Dimant, speaking from Toronto, reviewed the major problems of harassment and actual physical threating behavior that Jewish students on Canadian campuses are facing during such events as "Israel Apartheid Week" and other instances. Frank and Yisrael spoke of Canada's Conservative government and its support for Israel versus the Jewish kowtowing to the new radical trend of anti-Zionism on campuses and the trade unions.

Yisrael's last guest was Eve Harow who spoke of her insights on the American scene, having just gotten back from a two-week personal trip.

And, since radio you can't "see", here are some pics:

You Can Now Listen In

"Aspects of Active Jewish Life: Public and Crypto" was the title of my fill-in show for Eve Harow last Wednesday. If you go here, you can listen in.

Here's me hiding behind a flash on the window separating the technician from me



You don't like the picture?

Here's a better one.

At the Microphone

After a three-year hiatus, I got into an Arutz 7 studio today, learned some new tricks on the 'keyboard' and filled in for Eve Harow's show while she's on vacation. Supervised technically by Geula Atlas, I think I did okay.

And I hope I look okay:



We had Arlene Peck on and Chana Givon & Don Morris of Writing the Wrongs as well as Rav Nissan Ben-Avraham who participated in two conferences last month in El Paso and Phoenix on the topic of CryptoJews. There was also Rachel Ehrlich, director of Tel Shiloh, and my wife, Batya, who initiated a monthly prayer session at the site there of the Tabernacle.

I think a grand time was had by all.

My Hebrew-Language Interview

If you go here, you'll see on the right-hand side just below the icon of a microphone, a highlighted link that reads לפי שעה.

Click on it and when the screen opens, advance to 31:30 and you'll hear a 5 minute interview with me on the Temple Mount and why Mayor Lupolianski really halted the building of the new rampway to the Temple Mount.

(I presume it is only good for today and I'll check and update as for archived recording).
