Yeshiva of Newark Podcast JewishPodcasts.fm The Yeshiva of Newark /The Yeshiva at IDT is an on-line institution providing instruction and classes,lectures and dialogue for students of almost any background. The original school was founded on a broad-minded approach to Jewish studies that still resided firmly within the Mesorah of Orthodox Judaism.With the advent of the Covid epidemic in 2020-the institution refashioned itself to meet the needs and requests of interested parties across the globe which has resulted in well over half a million downloads of episodes in three years.

A tribute to the world of myth: Ovid and Holkham Hall - for iPad/Mac/PC The Open University How do the themes of classical mythology come to be refashioned through the ages? Holkham Hall in Norfolk, England, is the estate of an 18th century gentleman, Thomas Coke - a scholar of epic classical authors and avid collector of the cultural beauties of the past. This album offers an opportunity to explore his house and prolific art collection, including his lavishly illustrated manuscript of Ovid's "Metamorphoses". Ovid inspired artists ranging from 2nd century sculptors to medieval illustrators and 18th century painters to capture and interpret these age-old myths from within their own cultural context. This material forms part of The Open University course A330 Myth in the Greek and Roman worlds. Objects in Motion Cambridge University ConvenerAlexi Baker (CRASSH)SummaryObjects in Motion brings together scholars, curators and artists from around the world to dialogue about material objects in transition - cultural, temporal and geographical.All material objects are produced within specific contexts – whether they are ancient Roman tombstones, century-old Inuit clothing, or modern video games. How are differences in use and meaning negotiated when these objects transition into other contexts? What continuities remain, and what is reinterpreted and refashioned? How does this affect the meanings and knowledge embodied in, or found with, such objects?The subjects discussed will range in time from antiquity to the present day, and in geography across different continents. The individual disciplines encompassed include history, history of science and medicine, anthropology, social anthropology, archaeology, ethnology, art and performance, history of art, geography, digital humanities, museums, and cultural herita
