Friday, December 16, 2011. Mirror Mirror on the Wall. Hanukkah is upon us! For all of the general Hanukkah information you could ever want or need, click here for my 2009 Hanukkah blog posting. This year.I've been thinking about the Hanukkah story. You might remember that the story begins with the evil Antiochus IV. Of the "Syrian-Greeks") who is looking to violently foist Hellenism on the Jewish residents of the Land of Israel around 168 BCE. Giving themselves an 8,9, or 10 on a scale of 1-10! It's the ...

Friday, February 24, 2012. The Jewish Outreach Institute, a wonderful organization devoted to enabling Jewish orgs be as welcoming as possible to interfaith families, brands its approach by using the imagery of a 'big tent.'. But there's a 'Big Tent Judaism' of a different sort on display in this week's Torah portion ( Parshat Terumah. If that's the case, why do we need a particular structure (or building) to "meet" God in? More importantly why does the Omnipresent One need a mishkan. The Hebrew word for...

Friday, November 18, 2011. The Parsha and the Pilgrims. With Thanksgiving just a few days away. We can’t help but think of some of time-honored values associated with our American tradition. Even as we recall the bounty that was shared between Pilgrim and Indian alike, so are we moved to think of all of those in our midst who might have less. We reach out to them – as our Pilgrim and Indian ancestors looked after each other so many years ago. After a long journey in the desert, wouldn’t we expect h...

Friday, March 30, 2012. I just recently had my first chance to catch a movie at the new Cinepolis. Movie theater that opened near my home in La Costa. Yeah - it was more expensive than the typical movie. BUT IT WAS AWESOME. If you haven't been to one of these luxury movie places, you should check it out. It is totally worth the splurge. And how great is it that the folks of Cinepolis get. But how many of us actually sprawl out on the ground for our seders today? Now, in full disclosure, I've never been t...

Thursday, April 28, 2011. SPOILER ALERT: I WILL BE EXPLORING THIS MATERIAL DURING OUR SHABBAT MORNING SERVICE THIS WEEKEND. One of the great myths of American Judaism has been the decades-long assertion that a Jew with tattoos can’t be buried in a Jewish cemetery. (Have you heard that before? I imagine that most of you probably have. I have no idea where that story came from. But we should begin today’s posting by acknowledging that that myth has no basis in fact. Where did the myth come from? Concern ab...

Friday, January 27, 2012. A 'New' New Testament. The rise of the Enlightenment and its accompanying Emancipation. Of Western and Central European Jews changed all of that. For the first time in history, Jews were permitted to live amongst their Christian neighbors, compete with them for the same jobs, study at the same universities, etc. Our communities mixed in other ways, as the phenomenon of interfaith dating (and ultimately marriage) came to be. And think about the Beatles first - without even realiz...

Friday, May 4, 2012. Shout Out to SL: Revisiting Domestic Violence. In the email message that I sent out to my Etanu followers with information about last week's blog posting. I invited readers to request a topic for my final three blog postings. SL, a longtime devoted reader of Etanu, wrote back and asked for a re-posting of his favorite article.one I wrote more than 3 years ago (before the etanu website went up! As for Chris Brown and Rihanna.there's mad speculation. Although all domestic abuse is a te...
