WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

A wise woman once said: excellent people discuss ideas, mediocore people discuss events, inferior people discuss other people. This blog will be devoted mostly to ideas that I teach and write about. Ocassionally I will throw in some travel, recipes, movie reviews or other quirky indulgences. Since the state of our world and efforts to mend it are never far from my consciousness, you will also find some "current events" features under "tikkun olam." Please feel free to add your comments. Definitions: Midlife--Too late to do anything really new; too late not to. Mussar- A traditional Jewish practice to cultivate ethical insomnia(thanks to Rabbi Stone) If you want to know more about the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College where I teach, check out www.rrc.edu

AIDS Orphans in Africa


I finally got around to watching a video about a 23 year old girl who grew up in my neighborhood and who now works in, raises money for and helps to establish orphanages for kids in Africa. I had given money to this cause, via her mom, so I thought I did not need to watch the video. I was wrong. It is truly one of the most moving things I have seen in a long time. PLEASE watch it!
