Parshat BMidbar 2012-A Flag on the Play
Jews are not an ostentatious people, at least not as far as our religion is concerned. Most synagogues are small and not so fancy on the outside at least, even if the congregation is large. Our ceremonies are elaborate but how … Continue reading

Shavuot-Why Would Anyone Convert
I ask a simple question and the answer is not so simple. Why would anyone convert to Judaism? There’s so many religions and we’re not proselytizing and some would say we are even pushing people away. Even more than that, so … Continue reading

Parshat Behar-Behokutai 2012-The Sanctity of Jerusalem Day

Shavuot at York-Almost About Shavuot
I came to York to discuss how Shavuot relates to the choice to become Jewish. That’s not what it devolved into. A lot of fun that you could learn something from too. I preface: all views expressed by students do … Continue reading

Parshat Emor 2012-Holier Than Thou?
Probably the biggest complaint leveled against clergy of basically any denomination is that they don’t practice what they preach. Sometimes they will make statements about a particular problem in society that is relatively minor when they gloss over more major … Continue reading

New Find Sheds Light on the Temple
In the rabbinic community, we like to preach that one should accept Judaism based on the weight of tradition and our own historical reports. However, it’s always nice to get outside confirmation, not to mention the fact that any new … Continue reading

Ban College Football??!!!
