[00:00:00] I am the Ironwoman of Israel for the year
[00:00:40] So what do we know about Yom
[00:00:42] Kippur?
[00:00:46] That long before the war, with all the terrible works, the disillusionment
[00:00:49] and the cycles. It was still a day of atonement,
[00:00:53] a day of gathering for the soul from all the stains that clung to it during
[00:00:56] the year. It's the day we received the Torah after the first tablets were broken.
[00:01:00] It's a day when we remember what is broken and what is whole within
[00:01:03] us.
[00:01:07] And the Sages say there were no days as good for Israel as Tu
[00:01:10] B'Av and Yom Kippur. So on such a day, who even thinks
[00:01:13] of eating or bathing or wearing light clothes, and what
[00:01:17] can one really enjoy?
[00:01:20] It's a day when one wraps oneself in white and touches higher worlds,
[00:01:23] from Kol Nidre to Neilah, one performs a soul-searching,
[00:01:27] for we are like clay in the hands of the potter. If He wills,
[00:01:30] He lengthens, if He wills, He shortens.
[00:01:52] In Halakha, it is customary to say that there were no better days for Israel than Tu B'Av
[00:01:56] and Yom Kippur. You should know that this is surprising.
[00:02:02] What does the holiday of love have to do with the most terrible of the terrible
[00:02:05] days? But precisely the very deep values of Yom
[00:02:08] Kippur are what made it a particularly good day.
[00:02:12] And perhaps the most significant value is soul-searching. A reckoning that can
[00:02:16] be done in many different and even strange ways.
[00:03:02] any Rabbi, Michi Yosefi, for whom every day is
[00:03:05] a kind of Yom Kippur.
[00:03:08] First of all, remember, this
[00:03:16] place, I often
[00:03:19] seclude myself here. Every day you
[00:03:22] go to the forest to seclude yourself and talk to yourself. Yes, or
[00:03:26] in the car, or in the car, yes, speak
[00:03:28] to the Master of the Universe. A person in the environment, yes,
[00:03:31] the desired practice is an hour every day.
[00:03:35] Wow, you didn't get carried away. Seclusion is not loneliness.
[00:03:38] It's actually a state where you isolate yourself from all external
[00:03:41] stimuli. There is the more central point, which is
[00:03:45] soul
[00:03:45] searching.
[00:03:50] True soul-searching is also to examine where I live
[00:03:54] in relation to my value system. Yes.
[00:03:58] Am I faithful to what I defined as worthy,
[00:04:02] and also in the sense of what I yearn for,
[00:04:05] what are my longings? And here
[00:04:07] in the forest, this is my psychologist, this
[00:04:10] forest.
[00:04:14] On Yom Kippur, the whole purpose of this
[00:04:17] day is actually to cleanse the burden of
[00:04:21] sin, the burden of transgression from us, that is,
[00:04:24] the burden of the past, when I release the burden of the past, it's
[00:04:28] the anger.
[00:04:30] It's the grievances I have against all those who hurt me,
[00:04:34] it's all those I hurt and didn't bother to acknowledge
[00:04:38] it, even to myself, even to myself.
[00:04:40] There are techniques of solitude, genres of
[00:04:44] solitude. I can talk about the accepted
[00:04:48] technique, how to organize solitude. First of all, find
[00:04:51] a place where you feel comfortable. That
[00:04:54] means if you're in a new environment, wander around a bit until you find
[00:04:57] the rock there. Inviting you to the... the tree
[00:05:00] that you like. After that, the first step is to be
[00:05:04] thankful, gratitude. Gratitude, gratitude. That's
[00:05:07] always relevant. How nice that I'm here now and it's all good.
[00:05:11] The second
[00:05:16] step is to tell what
[00:05:20] hurts me, if there's something that hurts me, to talk about it but to let
[00:05:24] it go, meaning not to stay there, to acknowledge that
[00:05:27] it's there. Uh, desire for what I
[00:05:31] yearn for, what I aspire to.
[00:05:35] And the main thing is
[00:05:37] a review of the last month or the last week. Did
[00:05:40] I live according to my
[00:05:43] values? So gratitude,
[00:05:45] pain, desire. Did
[00:05:49] I live? Do you want some acronyms to make it easy to remember? Go ahead,
[00:05:52] recognition.
[00:05:55] Here's a great rock waiting for you. It hasn't
[00:05:58] changed much since the six days of creation.
[00:07:32] in psychology.
[00:07:39] Psychotherapy sits on the basis
[00:07:43] of introspection. From that perspective, it's soul-searching, but soul-searching that even
[00:07:46] seeks
[00:07:55] stands at the center of Yom
[00:07:58] Kippur. It's an idea, all in all,
[00:08:02] quite, quite unusual if you think about it,
[00:08:05] because what it means is to break out of the routine, to stop
[00:08:08] and reflect. Now, as human beings, we do
[00:08:12] that. When do we do it? We usually do it in special
[00:08:15] situations, either when we are
[00:08:18] in crisis and we're like, "Hey, how did we get here, what's going on?"
[00:08:22] Or after we've gone through a difficult
[00:08:26] period or very big changes,
[00:08:28] drastic changes, then we need to do it again
[00:08:32] and look. But ultimately, if we want
[00:08:35] to get something out of it, even if we reached some conclusion or if some
[00:08:39] kind of remedy flashed for us.
[00:08:43] Uh, it requires long-term work,
[00:08:46] it requires some process. Most things, most
[00:08:49] changes, are difficult to make except
[00:08:52] through a process.
[00:08:57] At first you feel bad and you don't know why, then you already
[00:09:01] know why, but you still feel bad, it didn't help you much
[00:09:04] with the feeling, you understood, you need to change, it's okay, you even
[00:09:08] change, one of the biggest difficulties is to get
[00:09:11] from the state of understanding
[00:09:14] to the state of change.
[00:09:17] The process of apology
[00:09:20] requires seeing things in a different
[00:09:24] context. To see it
[00:09:26] as part of a larger
[00:09:29] picture. If the moment we open the picture, we see it in
[00:09:32] a different context, there is a chance that things will take on
[00:09:35] a meaning that is easier to live with, that is easier
[00:09:39] to accept. What about Yom Kippur? Do you think it's
[00:09:52] the great things
[00:09:56] about it
[00:09:59] is that it comes with such a great
[00:10:03] burden of tradition, exactly like Yom Kippur is a bubble within
[00:10:07] the year, they set apart,
[00:10:10] they treasure. They neutralize
[00:10:14] and now you are with
[00:10:16] yourself
[00:10:18] and...
[00:10:21] as much as you can disconnect from the daily routine.
[00:10:25] which essentially distracts us from this
[00:10:58] the soul or, if you will, the brain, but this reckoning can
[00:11:01] also be done in the body. Many Israelis got off the couch at around
[00:11:05] 40 years old, discovered that they were deteriorating or that their wheels
[00:11:08] were, and started running. On their way to becoming Ironmen, they realized
[00:11:12] that physical torment could actually help with soul-searching.
[00:11:15] Ironman is considered the toughest
[00:11:25] competition there is. How many swim? 3.8 kilometers in an Ironman.
[00:11:28] And then they ride 180 kilometers. Wow.
[00:11:32] And then for dessert, they run a marathon. Which is 42 kilometers.
[00:11:35] In my opinion, sometimes it reminds me a bit
[00:11:48] of a coming-of-age process in an African tribe. You did something, you have a stamp
[00:11:52] and you can walk around with the stamp. You know, for many years I thought it was some
[00:12:13] so much. It also lifts
[00:12:16] the spirit when you truly rise above things, but many
[00:12:19] times you also find answers to all sorts of questions that really
[00:12:22] bother you, as if you...
[00:12:27] problems I have outside of this sport thing, I
[00:12:31] think this sport replaces a psychologist, and every time I was a little
[00:12:34] nervous at home I would tell the girls I'm going for a run, I would come back, if you're
[00:12:38] calm everything is wonderful, I come back with a smile from ear to ear, why do people even
[00:12:41] start at all, at age 45 or something, why do they start, but usually what
[00:12:45] happens with most people in this field is they start by saying, "Okay, I want
[00:12:49] to do 10 kilometers," and it's fine, then they say, "I
[00:12:52] want a half marathon, I want to." And slowly
[00:12:55] but surely, uh, the goals get higher
[00:12:58] and higher. I actually sat down with my wife and told
[00:13:02] her, "At 40, I'm giving myself the gift of doing my first
[00:13:05] Ironman," and that's it, from there I started
[00:13:08] with about 40 kilos more than I weigh today. There are several reasons
[00:13:12] why people enter this world, one of them is indeed some crisis or crises
[00:13:16] they experience in their 30s or more commonly in their 40s, when people have more or
[00:13:19] less settled down, and suddenly they open their eyes and see that there's
[00:13:23] some great challenge here, there are things that are
[00:13:26] related to the competitive drive, there's, uh, sometimes it's
[00:13:30] communal.
[00:13:33] If you go into almost any settlement, from a village, kibbutz, moshav,
[00:13:37] city, you'll see people running. The topic of running in Israel
[00:13:41] and cycling, started as a trend, today it's already part of a healthy
[00:13:44] lifestyle. Today in Israel there are about 300,000 people
[00:13:48] who run, and they run on a regular
[00:13:51] basis. It's very Israeli, this desire to be the ones who see, to be
[00:13:55] heroes, maybe also from the army and all the, meaning to do the impossible,
[00:13:58] and everyone says how much they did and how strong they are and how they're the best and how they're an Ironman and I
[00:14:02] want to too. Israelis love extremes, beautiful. Israelis very quickly
[00:14:06] go from running in the neighborhood to doing a marathon.
[00:14:09] We all struggle and do soul-searching,
[00:14:13] but there are people who turn this reckoning into a profession.
[00:14:17] Hi Hagit, I'm not talking about mathematics but about
[00:14:21] poetry. The poet Hagit Rossman
[00:14:25] defines her work as a daily ledger of the
[00:14:28] soul, a ledger typed on a typewriter.
[00:14:54] language, therefore the master of language has
[00:14:56] a very, very significant role
[00:15:00] among people
[00:16:26] is a delay of the soul. I think that's one of the reasons
[00:16:29] I need to write. Writing
[00:16:32] must be daily, because the soul changes
[00:16:36] so much. And everything is in the soul, the soul is the
[00:16:39] essence of the matter, if you don't follow your soul, you may
[00:16:43] get lost and erased. That's why once
[00:16:46] a year in Judaism there's this, which is a very wise thing, to actually do
[00:16:49] soul-searching. It's a time when you stop and think about your soul. Now there's
[00:16:53] a lot of food for thought here, because
[00:16:56] the soul is always
[00:17:47] thing in itself, but there are those who take their insights from soul-searching
[00:17:51] and apply them in a practical way, not only to
[00:17:54] themselves, but also to their environment. Benny Lipshitz was
[00:17:58] a chef for years, working with the biggest chefs in the country, but
[00:18:01] his soul-searching took him to a completely different side of the food
[00:18:19] as a lost chef, growing vegetables, it just seemed
[00:18:23] natural to me.
[00:18:26] This is the vegetable patch of the Kidron food forest. The entire
[00:18:29] place has been around for six, seven years. What is the goal
[00:18:32] of this forest? The goal of this forest is
[00:18:35] actually to be relevant to...
[00:18:39] If we are in a period of water crisis, food crisis, soils that are being depleted,
[00:18:43] imagined hunger,
[00:18:46] and many other problems of environmental
[00:18:49] pollution, then ecological agriculture is
[00:18:52] the immediate response. What's wrong with conventional agriculture?
[00:18:56] There's nothing wrong with conventional agriculture, I'm just
[00:18:59] joking.
[00:19:05] Conventional agriculture
[00:19:08] provides an enormous amount of food, that's
[00:19:12] true, but the environmental and human
[00:19:15] cost is enormous. That is,
[00:19:19] the introduction of very toxic substances into the soil, and the creation of very, very low-quality
[00:19:22] food, meaning the end result is
[00:19:26] really something that might look beautiful to the eye,
[00:19:30] but the value of these vegetables is very low,
[00:19:33] and their environmental cost is very very high, specifically.
[00:19:37] Here, every gram that comes out of this field and someone eats it is better than any
[00:19:41] other gram that comes from convention. This is a non-
[00:19:45] violent rebellion. This is subverting the system. The system doesn't want
[00:19:48] you to grow your own food and save on middlemen.
[00:19:52] And save
[00:19:52] on taxes.
[00:19:58] We don't grow vegetables here. I know it looks that way.
[00:20:02] But actually what we grow here is soil. Meaning, even if I identify
[00:20:06] some problem with a plant, yes, I don't treat the problem
[00:20:09] surgically on the plant, but I first go down to the soil and check what's
[00:20:13] happening there, yes, these are the lives that occur between
[00:20:16] the soil and the cover, these are the meaningful lives, that's where
[00:20:19] the digestion happens, the decomposition of organic
[00:20:23] matter and the feeding of the plants.
[00:20:26] I was involved in cooking
[00:20:29] for several good years, and I enjoyed it very much. I don't
[00:20:33] know what happened, but something happened, and I found
[00:20:36] myself, uh, unable to continue, unable
[00:20:40] to go to restaurants anymore, unable to deal with the customers, unable
[00:20:44] to lose health for food that is
[00:20:47] not nourishment, it's... food, essentially, it kind of lost proportion,
[00:20:51] the hedonism in it, essentially, it, I think, got
[00:20:54] out of control, and if our cultural heroes today are chefs,
[00:20:58] we are in a very, very difficult situation. You had to
[00:21:02] fix the foundation. You worked at the end of the path.
[00:21:05] You wanted to come and work at the beginning. I returned
[00:21:08] to this root, yes, not to make any
[00:21:11] correction. I did terrible deeds, almost every possible animal
[00:21:15] passed under my knife. I didn't see
[00:21:18] it, I didn't see it.
[00:21:22] It, meaning I was absorbed in work, yes, for me it's raw
[00:21:25] material, everything is legitimate. You can't force
[00:21:28] a person, neither veganism nor any
[00:21:32] worldview. He needs to... Now you are vegan, I have been vegan for
[00:21:35] eight years, seven years. Ah, this is
[00:21:39] the minimum. I won't succeed in changing big things in the world, but here within
[00:21:43] this small compound, I feel
[00:21:45] that I am doing something right and good.
[00:21:51] Environmental soul-searching can be done on land and it can also be done
[00:21:54] in the sea, when an industrial designer, who is also an avid
[00:21:57] diver, saw with his own eyes the corals in the Eilat Bay going
[00:22:01] and being destroyed, he decided to enlist science and art
[00:22:04] to give back to nature a little of what
[00:22:33] magnetic pull, and much of our future is buried there. In my opinion, the next decade
[00:22:37] will be about this place and this
[00:22:39] resource.
[00:22:42] The beauty that exists underwater is indescribable. On the other
[00:22:45] hand, the pain one feels when seeing destruction
[00:22:49] in coral. Trash. And we are doers here, as you can see. You
[00:22:53] got your hands dirty in a good way. We have an ethos here of blue
[00:22:56] collar, and we're dealing here with artificial
[00:22:59] reefs.
[00:23:09] Why do we need an artificial reef? What's wrong with a natural reef? It could be
[00:23:12] that this is a type of artificial environment
[00:23:16] where the speed at which it can be established and the solution it can provide
[00:23:20] are completely different than something
[00:23:23] natural.
[00:23:27] The printer now enters a sequence of
[00:23:30] printing operations, it is actually one of the largest
[00:23:33] of its kind, it was purchased for this research
[00:23:36] actually, and was built here, precisely for
[00:23:40] this purpose, and this is how we will print an artificial
[00:23:44] coral that will then settle in its new home
[00:23:47] in Eilat.
[00:23:57] What's happening in the water? A few weeks ago, we installed
[00:24:00] a pole several meters long, covered with many, many such models
[00:24:04] of various sizes with all sorts of intermediate
[00:24:06] chains. We put it there, we put
[00:24:08] signs. What did I get an update from A.S.A.? Update,
[00:24:12] right now? No, still no breaks, bro. When we arrived, we saw two
[00:24:16] fish pecking at the facilities, there are already quite a lot.
[00:24:20] The number of fish increased, the number of species did not. Photos will be uploaded to
[00:24:35] to regularize the chaos, on the one
[00:24:38] hand, on the other hand, to take into account parameters, benefits
[00:24:41] and complexities that are precisely targeted at precise
[00:24:44] creatures, according to our measurements and observations,
[00:24:48] big fish, fish. Isn't
[00:24:54] it a bit cheeky to invent something that's even better than coral?
[00:24:57] Cheeky, I, I think it's perhaps even cheekier to simply
[00:25:01] copy
[00:25:02] nature.
[00:25:06] Don't you have a very, very personal thing where it hurts you about these corals and you want to do
[00:25:10] something for them? I would even call it environmental soul-searching. They
[00:25:14] say "enough of hinting to the wise," they don't use the second part of the saying
[00:25:17] much, you know it, don't you? "To the wise with a hint, and to the fool
[00:25:20] with a punch." To the wise, a hint is enough, to the fool, a punch.
[00:25:24] We are doing
[00:25:28] and taking everything we know how to do into this place
[00:25:31] of improving, changing, fixing, and it is done, as
[00:25:35] it were, with reverence, not with arrogance and not out of the thought
[00:25:39] that we know how to do everything, but truly out of curiosity
[00:25:42] and a sincere desire to do
[00:26:18] Hello to you, and good morning, it's 11 o'clock. We have the news
[00:26:21] update, heightened readiness of the IDF for Yom
[00:26:24] Kippur. A military source told Kan News that this year's preparations
[00:26:27] are more extensive than last year's, and he emphasized
[00:26:31] the defense along the borders and within the cities throughout
[00:26:34] the country. IDF forces in the various sectors were significantly
[00:26:37] reinforced, and even units in training were put on
[00:26:40] alert. The headquarters decided in advance which forces
[00:26:43] would be activated in each of the possible scenarios,
[00:26:46] including police forces that would be subordinated to the IDF if
[00:26:50] necessary. Even though there is no specific warning, the military source
[00:26:53] told our reporter Carmel Menashe, that the IDF is preparing
[00:26:57] for a surprise on Yom Kippur.
