  • What's for Dinner in Olam Habafinal
    What’s for Dinner in Olam Ha-ba? Why Do We Care in Olam Ha-zeh? Medieval Jewish Ideas about Meals in the World to Come in R. Bahya ben Asher’s Shulhan Shel Arba Twenty-Eighth Annual Klutznick-Harris-Schwalb Symposium Jonathan Brumberg-Kraus, Wheaton College (MA) May it be Your will, Lord our God and God of our ancestors that just as I have stood up and dwelled in this sukkah so may I merit next year to dwell in the sukkah of the hide of the Leviathan. (Jewish blessing upon leaving the sukkah at the end of the holiday of Sukkot) Any modern discussion of Jewish traditions about rewards in the world to come must confront both the mixed messages the sources themselves present us, and our contemporary skepticism about the plausibility of any supernatural realms for rewards and punishments after death. A case in point is the contradictory rabbinic traditions about meals for the righteous in the World to Come. On the one hand, the righteous are promised a banquet of Leviathan, Bar Yuchnai, and Behemoth in a tent made of Leviathan’s skin. But Rav says, “In the World to Come, there is no eating and drinking.” Rabbenu Bahya ben Asher, the fourteenth century Spanish Biblical exegete and kabbalist, devotes the fourth and final “Gate” of his short treatise on Jewish eating practices, Shulhan Shel Arba [“Table of Four”], to address this apparent contradiction about meals prepared for the righteous in the World to Come.1 R. Bahya thus not only attempts resolves the problem of the mixed messages of our sources, but in doing so, I suggest he also hints to us moderns, who are sure only about this world, why speculating about the world to come nevertheless might still be of some value.

  • Houston Rockets General Manager's Tweet Sparks Controversy
    Houston Rockets General Manager's tweet sparks controversy 08 OCTOBER 2019 Michael A. Rueda PARTNER | HEAD OF US SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT | US CATEGORY: BLOG CLIENT TYPES: FAMILY TALENT AND CREATIVES SPORT On October 4th, 2019, during a National Basketball Association (“ NBA”) sponsored trip to China, Houston Rockets general manager, Daryl Morey, tweeted “ght for freedom, stand with Hong Kong.” The tweet has since been deleted, but not before sparking geopolitical controversy and outrage from the Chinese government, which demanded an apology, and announced Tuesday, October 8th that it had canceled the planned broadcast of two NBA exhibition games due to be played in the country. The NBA had Morey apologize and put out a statement characterizing his tweet as “regrettable” and clarifying that his support for Hong Kong protesters “does not represent the Rockets or the NBA.” However, the NBA’s attempt to quell the backlash in China prompted its own backlash from United States law makers, including Ted Cruz, Beto O’Rourke, and Julián Castro who were among those to denounce the NBA for giving in to Chinese condemnations. Now, the commissioner of the NBA, Adam Silver, has announced that the NBA “will not put itself in a position of regulating what players, employees, and team owners say or will not say on these issues,” and added: “It is inevitable that people around the world… will have different viewpoints over different issues. It is not the role of the NBA to adjudicate those differences.” Silver will travel to Shanghai on Wednesday, October 9th to meet with ofcials and some of the NBA’s business partners in hopes of nding some common ground.

  • Guillaume Autast Bailiff of Ornolac
    Confession 18 Guillaume Autast bailiff of Ornolac Witnesses against Guillaume Autast of Ornolac on the accusation of heresy The year of the Lord 1320, the 11th of May. Gaillarde, the wife of Bernard Rous of Ornolac, a sworn witness, interrogated as to whether the Guillaume Autast mentioned above held certain heretical propositions, said: About four years ago, I was in my house in Ornolac, and Alazaïs, the wife of Pierre Monier of Ornolac was at home with me; Guillaume Autast came by and there were a few other people whose names I do not recall. We were near the fire and we started to talk about God and the universal resurrection. Among other things, we said that God must have great power and great virtue, to be able to give to each human soul upon resurrection its own body. Upon hearing this, Guillaume said: “And you believe that God has made as many souls as there are men and women! This is certainly not so, but when at the time of death the souls depart the bodies in which they are dwelling, they enter into the body of infants who are just being born and thus they leave one body to enter into another.” He said this was because if each soul were to receive back its own body and each one had one of its own, and since the world has lasted for many years, it would be completely filled with souls, with a result that they could not be contained between Toulouse and Mérens. In effect, although souls are not large, there would be so many people that they could not be contained between these two locales.

It focuses primarily on the political campaign to ban the sport in the 1990s and the repercussions that campaign had on MMA itself. Furthermore, it examines the censorship of music and video games in the 1990s.
