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, enduring victory of the self, in Gevurah, rigorous structure - building a structure that endures is a great achievement.
What is such a thing?
Strength that endures may best be seen in ideas and not physical things. Enduring concepts may be built out of complex and layered thoughts more than elevator talks and sound bites.
Let's find the strength and fortitude to see, and aim for, the long view.
