Jewish And...

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.

Hod in Yesod - Day 40 of the Omer

May 18, 2012 by Jonathan Freirich

Awe in the vastness of the universe, Hod, in the basic balanced foundation of all things, Yesod - sometimes merely looking at the roots of a tree, or a foundation of an idea or project, generates awe on its own.

In the same way, when starting with our foundation we aim to include humility before the wonder of being able to build at all.
