This season of Turn it & Turn it is on the topic of: "Halakhic History"
Alongside Talmudic rulings and discussions, there are hundreds of traditions that describe the personal behavior and habits of rabbis. These are descriptions, often at a very high resolution of rabbis' religious practices and bodily movements and gestures. Sometimes the behavior is presented as an example or proof of a certain halakha, while other times, it is scrutinized and challenged, as it goes against other known teachings. These many traditions reveal a culture in which the careful examination of the personal actions and habits of teachers, peers, and students, and the subsequent transmission and discussion of these recorded moments, was a central component of rabbinic training and study. What is more, the traditions disclose another dimension to rabbinic halakha. A concept that is often translated as Jewish law, that emerges through these traditions as rabbinic habit and way of life. In this series, we will analyze a selection of rabbinic traditions of personal behavior, and discuss their meaning and significance, what they contribute to our understanding of rabbinic culture, and how they reshape our notions of halakha. We will also use these materials to reflect on contemporary forms of examination of personal behavior and habit and how they impact our culture

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
