 In Memory of Timna, the Outsider 

In Memory of Timna, the Outsider
I'd like to introduce you to a Biblical figure who you've likely never heard of.
Her name is Timna.
She is not Jewish.
Yet her life story as depicted in the Torah, serves to teach us some important lessons about what Judaism should not be.
In this week's Torah portion, Timna is mentioned only briefly. She is described...Read more...

Where Are You At Your Worst? #478

Where Are You At Your Worst? 

I have a question for you..

In which room of your home -- or which public place -- are you at your worst?

The great comedian Louis CK asked himself this question once. His answer was: "I am the worst person I can be when I am behind the wheel."  Me too, Louis. Me too.

Something happens when I'm driving. My patience level is lowest when I'm hurrying from...Read more...

Often, the last words uttered by an Islamic terrorist before claiming the lives of innocents are "God is great."

It is not unheard of for Christian...Read more...

Reflections on the Election 

Let's talk.

Since early Wednesday morning, after reality set in that Donald Trump will become the next president of the United States, I have been besieged by requests for prayers of comfort.

For many Americans, particularly Democrats, this outcome has been upsetting, perhaps something deeper than that.

It's not so...Read more...

Noah, alcohol and addiction 

Addiction is a topic people seldom want to talk about.  In the Jewish world we often assume it's "someone else's problem."

Yet more and more, addiction is moving into the mainstream,  affecting Jewish families more often than we might think.

Opiate pain medications such as Vicodin or Percocet are commonly prescribed for...Read more...

Torah and the Environment Clause

Torah and the Environment

About eight years ago, while on a congregational tour of Israel, our bus driver veered off the main road, squeezed onto a narrow dirt trail, and eventually parked our bus under a cluster of trees.

"Everyone out," commanded our tour guide.

And so, at about 11:30 that Tuesday morning, thirty-four participants on our first group tour of...Read more...
