Finding a Place

The Synagogue: Home for the Spirit
A colleague of mind who tried to persuade a person to join his congregation was told, “Look rabbi, I appreciate the importance of religion, but I just don’t believe in organized religion,” to which the rabbi replied, “Then you’ll love our synagogue. It’s totally disorganized.”

Wisdom from a Veteran "Unreformed" Reform Jew
It is because we are adaptive, proactive and not static, that Reform Judaism lives and breathes with the needs and with the times in which we live.

My Experience as a "Jewish Father" and a "Christian Man"

When a born Jew chooses Judaism
I ate sandwiches on Passover, rarely lit candles in the dorms (it’s a fire hazard!) and barely noticed the passing of the holidays. Except, how odd: the Jewish bookshelf stayed, and I found myself doing presentations on Hanukkah and teaching the kids how to play dreidel at the elementary school where I worked. I was confused; I was Jewish, but then why wasn’t I connected like before?
