When Faith Meets Love: Modern Interfaith Marriage Stories - LEAPS OF FAITHS documentary Ep 1

Bob Hercules interviews Steve Ordower & David Kovacs about their new documentary film about interfaith marriage, LEAPS OF FAITHS. LEAPS OF FAITHS is available on Amazon, iTunes, and VUDU. Watch the film here: https://www.filmmovement.com/product/leaps-of-faiths Love tests faith. Faith tests love. Interfaith marriage - how does that work? What about the in-laws? How to raise the kids? For 30 years, Catholics and Jews in Chicago have found that the answers don't have to be so hard - boundaries can be crossed - divisions healed. And the kids? We follow five who grew up learning both Judaism and Catholicism from 8th grade through high school, college and beyond. Their families imagined possibilities - and discovered them. LEAPS OF FAITHS is about interfaith (Jewish-Catholic) marriage, with implications for other kinds of intercultural families. In the film, love is tested by faith, and faith is tested by love. A Jew and a Catholic may have grown up looking at the other faith as ‘over there’ or ‘the other’ … but when they fall in love, that’s no longer possible. Now they’re family, and that’s when things get really interesting. 80% of Reform Jews who got married in the last 5 years intermarried, and a majority of American Jews today are partnered with someone of a different cultural or religious background. In a world that can seem increasingly polarized and tribal, interfaith families are crossing borders. "Though it focuses exclusively on Catholic-Jewish unions, it totes the universal message that religion need not divide people... What they are doing, basically and effectively, is giving us a series of love stories between men and women, parents and children, people and their God. It’s uplifting." The Chicago Tribune "The film is split into three main parts and is upfront about its outcomes, which is to explore how families make the choice about which religion to raise their children in and how their children look back at their lives as they’ve grown... Several different professionals in each faith are interviewed and provide different perspectives on the issues, as well as the children who grew up in interfaith families. Their interviews are the most impactful as they provide the most powerful insight into how this impacts families and that it is possible to raise children among two faiths... The concepts of the film can be taken across different cultures and types of interfaith marriages. I recommend this film for middle school, high school, and college audiences as well as school, public, and academic library collections." - Lara Fountaine, NC State University Libraries, EMRO (Recommended) #rhythmoflife #podcast #podcasts #podcastshow #podcasting #interfaith #interfaithdialogue #interfaithharmony #interfaithmarriage #jewish #catholic #jewishlife #catholiclife

FRED HAMPTON'S Lawyer Reveals What Really Happened - Ep. 9

FRED HAMPTON'S Lawyer Reveals What Really Happened - Ep. 9

Host Bob Hercules sat down with attorney Flint Taylor to discuss the murder of Black Panther leader, Fred Hampton in 1969, who is the subject of the recent film, “Judas & The Black Messiah.” With five Oscar nominations, including for best picture, this movie ultimately took home an Academy Award for Daniel Kaluuya’s performance as Fred Hampton in the Best Supporting Actor category. Along with his partner, Jeff Haas, in the People’s Law Office, Flint Taylor takes us through the journey of how they uncovered and proved the truth about what happened to Fred Hampton and fellow Black Panther, Mark Clark. They were able to alter the public’s perception being put forth by Cook County State’s attorney Edward v. Hanrahan and other public officials that the Panthers were a terrorist organization and were the aggressors in this altercation. Even though the media reported this fabrication initially as the truth, these two remarkably persistent lawyers were able to shine a light on the orchestrated assassination of Fred Hampton which was part of a larger Counterintelligence program initiated by the FBI, aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, disrupting and neutralizing American political organizations and leaders deemed subversive. Flint Taylor is an American human rights and civil rights attorney based in Chicago, Illinois, who has litigated many high-profile police brutality, government misconduct and death penalty cases. Taylor has pursued public interest law to take on allegations of corrupt police tactics and wrongful convictions in the city of Chicago and elsewhere. Taylor was part of a team of negotiators in the 2015 landmark decision by the City of Chicago to award reparations to the survivors of police torture, becoming the first municipal government to do so. #rhythmoflife #podcast #podcasts #podcastshow #podcasting #fredhampton #judasandtheblackmessiah #blackpower #police #cointelpro

Unlocking The Future Of Healthcare with DR. JEFF PANZER - Ep. 18
1:36:02

Unlocking The Future Of Healthcare with DR. JEFF PANZER - Ep. 18

Today on the show host Steve Ordower sits down with Dr. Jeff Panzer, who recently started his own Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinic in Evanston, IL - BRIDGE DIRECT CARE - focused on building relationships with his patients. This is a transformative paradigm that allows doctors to deliver health care in a genuine way, not dictated by the profit motive structure imposed by insurance companies. A great deal of health care in the U.S. is called "managed care", but it may as well be called "managed profits," and this Direct Primary Care model is in direct contrast to this. If you've been realizing how upside down our health care system is in our country, this conversation may give you some hope and inspiration. Dr. Panzer talked about getting back to a way in which his father practiced health care - it was all about relationships, and this paradigm is bringing back the humaneness to health care. There are quite a few doctors embracing the DPC model across the U.S., and this episode will give some insight into how it works. This is also one of the interviews that will be part of our INCENTIVES series, that looks at incentive structures in our society that lead to detrimental outcomes. The goal of the series is to identify these structures as a first step to transforming them. This show is also available wherever you get your podcasts! On Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rhythm-of-life/id1466308942?i=1000642079498 Below you'll find Dr. Panzer's philosophy, background, information about his clinic, the DPC model, as well as some insightful articles that were discussed in this episode - one of which Dr. Panzer co-authored. " I love family medicine because it allows me to build meaningful relationships with patients and improve people’s lives. In a traditional doctor’s office, however, I was spending too much time on my computer and struggling with insurance companies and the confusing health care system. I didn’t have enough time to provide the care and attention that my patients needed. I knew there had to be a better way–and that is why I started Bridge Direct Care. I believe that health care is not a product that is given to a patient. It is something that doctors and patients create together. This requires trusting long-term relationships and patient empowerment. Patients deserve to have their needs met quickly and respectfully by someone they know and trust. " Dr. Jeff Panzer is a family physician and has been practicing in Chicago since 2010. He attended Temple University School of Medicine and did his family medicine residency at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. He later received his Master’s degree in healthcare quality and patient safety from Northwestern University. Since graduating residency in 2009, Dr. Jeff has worked both caring for patients and at the system level to try to bring relationships back to the forefront of healthcare where they rightfully belong. He continues to work part-time as the vice president of care transformation for Tapestry 360 Health (a federally-qualified health center on the northside of Chicago) and the physician innovator at AllianceChicago. He previously served as a medical director at a health center in rural Ethiopia, and as a practice transformation consultant at the American Medical Association (AMA). He can provide patient care in English and Spanish. Outside of the office, Dr. Jeff enjoys spending time with his wife and three children, running, beach volleyball, reading, camping, and coaching his children’s sports teams. A Different Way, Better Care Bridge Direct Care provides family medicine services that put you first. Dr. Jeff and his team offer comprehensive primary care that is accessible, affordable, and personalized. By using a low-cost membership model, we can provide better care by building closer, stronger relationships with our patients and addressing health needs more quickly and effectively.

Left vs Right: The Political Lie We All Believed with BLAKE MINNERLY - Ep. 25

The Myth of Left and Right: How the Political Spectrum Misleads and Harms America (STUDIES IN POSTWAR AMERICAN POLITICAL) https://amzn.to/4kw9bpd Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media https://amzn.to/4irGsQI Today on the show we welcome Blake Minnerly, who is launching his own podcast show called, "Ambiology" which examines the political left/right spectrum in the United States from a historical perspective. Much of what we think is Left or Right politically actually has shifted over time - and this paradigm has become a significant stumbling block for citizens to view issues on a case-by-case basis that would allow for a substantive understanding of a given issue in a nuanced way. Instead, and consequently, this Left/right divide incentivizes people to lump issues together into a tribal identity, which creates a psychological barrier to useful and empowering insight on important matters. This ubiquitous and insidious paradigm conditions us in the U.S. to view political issues through a powerful filter, which oftentimes has us discount perspectives from the “bad” tribe without fully understanding the perspective in the first place. This show will investigate the beginnings of Public Relations and propaganda with people such as Edward Bernays (the nephew of Sigmond Freud) who has been criticized for manipulating public opinion, often in ways that undermined individual autonomy and democratic values. His best-known campaigns include a 1929 effort to promote female smoking by branding cigarettes as feminist "Torches of Freedom", and his work for the United Fruit Company in the 1950s, connected with the CIA-orchestrated overthrow of the democratically elected Guatemalan government in 1954. And, Ivy “Leadbelly” Lee who preceded Bernays, who many historians credit him with originating modern crisis communications. He was retained by the Rockefellers in 1914, initially to represent Standard Oil, after the bloody repression of the coal mining strike in Colorado known as the Ludlow Massacre.” Both Bernays and Lee were masters at shaping perspective on behalf of corporations and governments, appealing directly to the subconscious mind, often undetectable to the general public. Ambiology will reflect upon the writings and scholarship of people such as Noam Chomsky, who co-authored the book, “the Manufacturing of consent,” Marshall McLuhan who is known as the father of media studies, and most recently Hyrum and Verlan Lewis who wrote the book, “The myth of left and right: how the political spectrum misleads and harms America” #podcast #politics #politicalnews #political #leftrightnews #conservative #liberal #independent #liberaltv #politicalissues #politicaldivide #politicalbias #leftright #leftrightchallenge #politicalanalysis #politicalnews #politicalupdates
