This season of Turn it & Turn it is on the topic of: "Chassidut"
In praying to God, we express our personal theology and theodicy, alongside our simple faith and trust, with every utterance. For the Chassidic masters, following the Amora’im (the sages of the Talmud), the worlds of prayer expand beyond the boundaries of the siddur and fixed times during the day. We will encounter the teachings of the Chassidic masters focusing on questions including: What did their prayer look like? What are the dangers and promises that standing in the presence of God evokes? How can we enter into the realm of words in a way that offers us comfort and challenge simultaneously? Is prayer a refuge? A battlefield? Home?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
