With Rabbi Ari Sollish

In our third lesson, “The Healthcare Debate,” we explore the topic of healthcare from a unique and empowering Jewish perspective. Whose responsibility is our health care? Does a society have the right to require its members to buy health insurance? What is the role of our own free choice in solving health care problems? And is health care insurance a contradiction to trust in G‐d?

We'll study fascinating Biblical, Talmudic, and Halachic texts, and come away with a solid understanding of the important principles that drive Torah's view of healthcare.

Election 2024
Lesson 4: Abortion
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
Recorded Live at The Torah Center ATL on Monday, September 16, 2024

Election season is in full swing and the biggest issues facing our country are front and center. In this new series we cut through the politics to examine five critical issues through the lens of Torah wisdom.

In our third lesson, “Abortion,” we explore the topic of abortion from a uniquely Jewish perspective. 

When does life begin? Is a fetus considered to be “alive”? Under what circumstances should abortion be permitted? When might it be deemed obligatory? 

Through studying classic Talmudic and Halachic texts we will develop a profound framework of understanding the origins of life, and be better equipped to address some of the most difficult questions.

Election 2024
Lesson 5: The Economy
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
Recorded Live at The Torah Center ATL on Monday, September 23, 2024

Polls show that the #1 issue for Americans in this election cycle is the economy. Apparently, we care a lot about our bottom line. 

But when it comes to strengthening the economy, there are so many different approaches. One approach is to lower taxes and the cost of everyday goods, so as to put more money in the hands of working Americans. Another approach is to reduce taxes on businesses, so as to stimulate jobs creation. A third approach is to tariff foreign imports, so as to encourage domestic production and build the US workforce. And there are many other approaches.

In Lesson Five of Election 2024 we explore the topic of the economy from a unique and refreshing Jewish perspective. We analyze the biblical economic model to discover Torah's approach to taxation and building a thriving economy.

MACRD May Ballot - Warm Springs Program

Jeff Graham Show April 15, 2025

Oklahoma schools mandate 2020 election conspiracy theories, including discrepancies, mail-in ballot security risks, and ballot-counting halts under new curriculum. Critics accuse the state of promoting the "Big Lie" and undermining critical thinking by bypassing public input on election misinformation.

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with three-term Republican former Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed about the history of voting by mail in Washington state.

Secretary Reed was in office from 2001 to 2013, and previously served as the elected auditor of Thurston County. In this earlier role, he was one of the first public officials to support efforts to adopt voting by mail in the Evergreen State back in the early 1980s. Washington became the second all-vote-by-mail state in 2011; Oregon was first a decade earlier.

With recent talk from the Trump Administration of a federal effort to end voting by mail – which, on its face, is likely unconstitutional –  it seemed like a good time to speak with Secretary Reed and learn some of the history and context for the practice in the state of Washington, and also look ahead to what might happen should the federal effort proceed.

CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streams everywhere via www.space101fm.org. The radio station broadcasts from studios at historic Magnuson Park – located in the former Master-at-Arms’ quarters in the old Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.
