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.
Netzach means victory, or eternity, and we often define it as the sense of ego that allows us to see ourselves as important - all history has resulted in us and all that is to come may result from us. In Chesed, lovingkindness, Netzach reminds us that all acts of giving require us to believe that we have something worthy to give. We cannot be kind if we don't believe in our own value.
