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.
A little quote from Proverbs (2:9-13) thanks to Rami Shapiro's beautiful translation (p. 32):
When wisdom is embraced, righteousness, justice and fairness are known;
all paths are illumined and you need fear no detour.
When wisdom enters your heart and knowledge your soul.
you will perceive the order of the univese and never despair
You will be rescued from your own dark inclinations,
and not even the cleverest lies will fool you.
