Reasonable, spiritual, authentic Judaism
Exploring a reasonable and relevant Judaism - authentic and current, inclusive and welcoming - Rabbi Jonathan opens and develops discussions delving into Jewish life, learning, and meaning. “Jewish and...” means Judaism enhanced because today's Judaism is: multi-faith, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, pluralist, pro-LGBTQ+, feminist, and multi-generational. “Jewish and…” starts with Jewish sources: Torah, Midrash, Talmud, Commentaries, Israel, Yiddish, Hebrew, Food, Klezmer, and anything else that connects us to our Jewish selves.
This court brief, a real document, highlights excellent sensitivity to Jewish concerns, and the need, as pointed out by the Honorable Kimba M. Wood, for equal treatment of girl babies. Many of us already do this by holding baby-naming ceremonies, regardless of the baby's sex, on the eighth day of the baby's life. This seem to be long overdue egalitarianism in Judaism!
