Midlife Mussar: Niles Township Shabbat Study

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

Niles Township Shabbat Study

This weekend I will be conducting a Shabbat Lunch Study Session in a synagogue in Niles Township(Skokie), Il. The topic will be Three Contemporary Theologians. We will be looking at the thought of Arthur Green, Judith Plaskow and Neil Gillman, three of my favorites.(Although, come to think of it, I actually like all the theologians I teach in Contemporary Thought class.)
