Two key areas of Jewish law about firstborns: redemption from a priest (pidyon ha-ben), and the double portion of the inheritance. How do these two kinds of firstborn interact? And what does that tell us about a parent’s relationship with their children? (Full disclosure: the teacher, a 3rd child, has exactly 1 child of his own!)

Antisemitism around the world is on the rise and there is a perception that the left is not taking it seriously - but this is not the case. Today progressive Jewish groups and allies are changing the game; educating the left on antisemitism, and making the fight against antisemitism part of our collective struggle for liberation.

Lishmah = 'for its own sake' - doing a mitzvah for its intrinsic value, not for any ulterior purpose. By creating a philosophical dialogue between 'lishmah' and the Aristotelian idea 'praxis' we'll see how this seemingly narrow religious idea has the potential to overturn the worst features of modern life: consumerism, populism and dehumanisation.

Rachel Bluwstein Sela, Leah Goldberg, Zelda Schneurson Mishkovsky and Naomi Shemer are four of Peta's favourite Hebrew poets. Each in her own way captures something of the essence of being Israeli - perhaps also of being a woman. Take the time to just enjoy the beauty of some of their poetry and feel the poignancy of their messages.

The role of youth movements in the Jewish community have undergone a huge transformation in their almost 100 year old history. From uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto, settling the early state of Israel, and providing 100s of teens with unforgettable experiences, it is clear they matter, but how they might transform in the future is still unclear.
