Nancy F-K Tazria Metzora Dvar Torah
Last week there appeared in my mailbox at RRC, a book that I had never heard of by someone who was also unknown to me. The book is called The Plausible God: Secular Reflections on Liberal Jewish Theology. The author, Mitchell Silver, is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts, and a devout secular Jew. His book was occasioned by a growing realization that all of his good philosophical arguments against religion were really arguments against traditional theism, the “old God” as he calls Him. And I use the word “Him” advisedly here.

Fred Dobb Eco-Judaism session - Global Day 2016
“Love of the Creator, and love of that which G!d has created, are finally one and the same,” wrote Martin Buber. Defending this divine creation in an era of climate change is a Jewish (and social, political, and moral) imperative. A rich Jewish life is by nature an environmental one, though we need to pick up the pace, draw more explicit connections, and make our community a beacon of sustainability.

For the Sake of the World: Toba Spitzer on peoplehood and mission
Originally delivered at Congregation Dorshei Tzedek, Rosh Hashanah 5764
Where do we first hear about Rosh Hashanah? In the Torah, in the book of Leviticus, we read:
Adonai spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to the Israelites, saying: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall be for you a day a rest, a memorial proclaimed with the blast of the shofar, a holy assembly. (23:23).

Bronstein teaching call - Hasidic lens on Parashat Bo
Today I want to share with you some of what I think are the most astounding, and provocative, and informative Jewish messages that we have available to us as Reconstructionists, as Jews in general today. But they come from a place that you might never think to look: the 18th-century and 19th-century Hasidic commentaries on the Torah.
