  Jewish cuisine is a rich tapestry woven from centuries of history, migration, and adaptation. Rooted in biblical traditions and shaped by the diverse cultures of the Jewish diaspora, it reflects not only religious laws but also the unique influences of the lands where Jewish communities have settled. From the ancient meals mentioned in the Torah to the diverse dishes found in Jewish homes today, the evolution of Jewish food is a story of resilience, preservation, and adaptation. 
  The origins of Jewish cuisine can be traced back to the foods consumed in biblical times. The Torah and Talmud contain numerous references to ingredients and meals that were staples of early Jewish life. Grains, olives, figs, dates, and lentils were essential components of the diet, often accompanied by goat’s milk, honey, and fish. Meat was consumed in accordance with strict kosher laws, which dictated which animals could be eaten and how they should be slaughtered and prepared. These dietary guidelines, known as kashrut, continue to define Jewish cooking and eating practices today, ensuring that food remains a fundamental part of religious and cultural identity. 
  As Jewish communities spread across the world, their cuisine was influenced by local flavors and cooking techniques. The dispersal of Jewish populations following the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE led to the formation of distinct culinary traditions. Ashkenazi Jews, who settled in Central and Eastern Europe, incorporated ingredients such as potatoes, cabbage, and beets, which were common in the region. Meanwhile, Sephardic Jews, who lived in Spain, North Africa, and the Middle East, embraced the bold spices, fresh herbs, and rich stews characteristic of Mediterranean and Arabic cuisines.

  H.P. Lovecraft (1890 - 1937) was an American horror fiction writer. Though he died in poverty and was only published in pulp magazines before his death, he is now regarded as one of the most significant 20th century authors in the genre. Lovecraft's most popular book is, perhaps, At the Mountains of Madness. He also wrote The Call of Cthulhu, along with many short stories and literary correspondences. In this rare recording, he is interviewed as part of a WPA project during the New Deal.

  In an era of information technology we tend to neglect education in the emotions, the imagination, and civility. Thomas Moore's books on the soul paint a picture of literate, sensitive, and artful human living. In The Education of the Heart he presents many of the sources that influenced and inspired Care of the Soul, Soul Mates, and The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life, choosing special passages that show us how to cultivate our humanity. But this is not merely a sourcebook or anthology; it's a manual for living from the heart. 
  Here we read the great teachers and writers of the past and present, not as representatives of historical periods but as vivid teachers who show us the way towards a richer, more spiritful and soul-filled life. 
  As Thomas Moore says, "Listen to these passages, write them down for future reference, tell them to friends, commit them to memory - these are all ways of educating the heart." 
  Read by Thomas Moore and cast.

  The Pandemic Workplace - How We...

  A provocative book arguing that the workplace is where we learn to live democratically. 
   
  In The Pandemic Workplace, anthropologist Ilana Gershon turns her attention to the US workplace and how it changed—and changed us—during the pandemic. She argues that the unprecedented organizational challenges of the pandemic forced us to radically reexamine our attitudes about work and to think more deeply about how values clash in the workplace. These changes also led us as workers to engage more with the contracts that bind us as we rethought when and how we allow others to tell us what to do. 
   
  Based on over two hundred interviews, Gershon’s book reveals how negotiating these tensions during the pandemic made the workplace into a laboratory for democratic living—the key place where Americans are learning how to develop effective political strategies and think about the common good. Exploring the explicit and unspoken ways we are governed (and govern others) at work, this accessible book shows how the workplace teaches us to be democratic citizens.
