      <title>Exploring Sacred Spaces 15 | Structural Damage</title>
      <link>https://elmad.pardes.org/2023/08/episode-15-structural-damage/</link>
      <description>In the wake of the terrifying earthquake that struck Turkey, the Maggid of Melbourne dedicated this episode on structural damage to the people of Turkey.
What do we do when there is a crack in the wall of a synagogue? We’ve already learned that we must treat the structure with proper sanctity and if one were to do damage, they are liable for the costs of repair, but what about cases where there is no liable adult to be blamed? Who pays for it?

      <description>If, as we’ve learned, we are meant to have windows, is there a specific way they should be designed? In today’s episode the Maggid of Melbourne leads us with an examination of the windows that were found in the Temple. It isn’t as simple as copying those windows, however, as many questions arise regarding how those windows may have been designed. Was there transparent glass? Simple shuttered openings?

      <title> Exploring Sacred Spaces 12 | Smell and Sight</title>
      <link>https://elmad.pardes.org/2023/08/episode-12-smell-and-sight/</link>
      <description>The Maggid of Melbourne brings another tale, this time about the planning of the building of Yeshivat Har Etzion and Rav Amital’s reaction to learning there would be no windows in the Beit Midrash. We learn of two versions of the story, one telling us that Rav Amital’s reaction was based on scent, but another teaches that it was related to sight. Sight, perhaps we could understand, but scent? Listen in to find out why both senses are important when planning our sacred spaces. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.</description>

      <itunes:summary>The Maggid of Melbourne brings another tale, this time about the planning of the building of Yeshivat Har Etzion and Rav Amital’s reaction to learning there would be no windows in the Beit Midrash. We learn of two versions of the story, one telling us that Rav Amital’s reaction was based on scent, but another teaches that it was related to sight. Sight, perhaps we could understand, but scent? Listen in to find out why both senses are important when planning our sacred spaces. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.</itunes:summary>

      <link>https://elmad.pardes.org/2023/08/episode-11-windows-for-prayer/</link>
      <description>Do synagogues need windows? Going back to the time of Daniel, we learn that windows have played a role in prayer, but does that mean that windows are required? Why would we even need windows, what particular role would they play in our synagogues? Join the Maggid of Melbourne as he examines the Rambam and later authorities on their position regarding windows in shul. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.</description>

      <description>The symbolism of lions has been seen throughout Ashkenazi synagogues. Yet, in 1949, Ben-Zion Meir Hai Uziel cautioned the use of images in synagogues due to the prohibition of graven images. How do we approach these images in synagogues? How can we find a decor that aids us in spiritual connection while also respecting Jewish law?

      <link>https://shows.acast.com/pardes-jewish-studies-maggid-of-melbourne/episodes/blessings-at-eye-level-exploring-sacred-spaces-5</link>
      <description>We continue our examination of the duchan (platform) from which the Kohanim offer blessings to the congregation. As we know from the previous episode, the Kohanim are meant to go up to the duchan, meaning the duchan should be raised up from the floor. While we have learned that the blessing should be done whether or not there are steps, we must ask what we should do in such cases. The Maggid of Melbourne walks us through several possible solutions, including the use of symbolic elevation. We’ll also learn some of the possible reasons why we have such a tradition, such as honoring the Holy Presences and connecting to the steps of the ancient Temple. Hosted on Acast.

      <title>Exploring Sacred Spaces 4 | Stepping up to Offer Blessings</title>
      <link>https://shows.acast.com/pardes-jewish-studies-maggid-of-melbourne/episodes/stepping-up-to-offer-blessings-exploring-sacred-spaces-4</link>
      <description>In previous episodes, the Maggid of Melbourne discussed how the Hazzan should approach the lectern, examining the question of whether one should step up or down. What about when the Kohanim come forward to lead the priestly blessing? Must they step up? What if there is no space, or some other challenges that would prevent building that step up? Together with the Maggid of Melbourne, we’ll examine historical and halachic perspectives on designing the steps and platform that lead to the Aron Kodesh.

      <itunes:summary>In previous episodes, the Maggid of Melbourne discussed how the Hazzan should approach the lectern, examining the question of whether one should step up or down. What about when the Kohanim come forward to lead the priestly blessing? Must they step up? What if there is no space, or some other challenges that would prevent building that step up? Together with the Maggid of Melbourne, we’ll examine historical and halachic perspectives on designing the steps and platform that lead to the Aron Kodesh.

      <title>Exploring Sacred Spaces 3 | Tied to the Lectern – A Hasidic Tale</title>
      <link>https://shows.acast.com/pardes-jewish-studies-maggid-of-melbourne/episodes/tied-to-the-lectern-a-hasidic-tale-exploring-sacred-spaces-3</link>
      <description>Join the Maggid of Melbourne as he continues his exploration of where the Hazzan (prayer leader) stands as he leads prayers. Levi brings in a tale of a Hasidic man who ties himself to the lectern during their service, confusing everyone in the synagogue. With this in mind, we’ll continue to look into the architectural design of synagogues, and how such stories can impact the architectural decisions we make.

      <link>https://elmad.pardes.org/2022/04/halakha-of-the-harvest-music-to-my-ears/</link>
      <description>Fruit and vegetables are part of healthy living. In this series, the Maggid of Melbourne looks at some of the halakhic issues associated with defining what is a fruit and what is a vegetable.
Join Levi – the apple of Pardes’ eye – on this worldwide tour of exotic plant life, as he goes bananas, cherry-picking different topics, comparing apples and oranges, and trying to plumb the depths of different fruit and vegetables, while occasionally finding himself in a pickle.
A special podcast series in honor of the Shemitta year, albeit looking at an entirely different angle of agriculture and Jewish law. A series that promises to bear fruit. Don’t wait to hear about this through the grapevine: Tune in now!
