…t, Caleb (age 14 months) is the important one to remember. We live in East Rock. Shayna and Jon grew up Conservadox and modern Orthodox, respectively, and both went to Jewish day school. We’re very excited that BEKI is the first shul we’ve joined as a family. Caleb had his first Jewish experience as an eight-day old and was not really a fan, but I think it’s growing on him. Favorite parts of being Jewish are the opportunities for connection and sh…

…e against a bill that is poorly written or unworkable even though they may support the bill’s goals. Sometimes legislators compromise on a “package” of issues, or support a bill that is not optimal because it is just the best that they think is attainable. It is not fair to oversimplify the process – doing so is itself a poor way to influence public policy. I do think clergy can, and should, play a significant role in the development of public pol…

…fences” in an attempt to protect themselves, often to little avail. Let us support this fence as an attempt to create a link of truth and reason to keep us together and protect our Torah values and laws. Tomorrow, I intend to talk about a closely related core idea in Judaism: Free Discourse and the Search for Truth. We will see how this is a central feature of classical Judaism as well, and then suggest how these ideals might find expression in ou…
…flat-rate (fixed percentage) system if not a genuinely progressive system. Support of the Temple as envisioned by our Torah was on the basis of “from each according to their means.” It is for that reason that I applaud the efforts of those BEKI officers and members of the Board of Directors who are working to develop what is by Torah-values a more equitable set of expectations for supporting the shul through a scaled dues structure. This is not an…
…t and inform sponsors that they will not support businesses whose revenues support hate-radio. Ken Hamblin regularly uses racist epithets to describe people and belittles those who disagree with him. Recently he attacked people who receive welfare using adjectives like “dark,” “dirty” and “hairy” and claimed that African Americans were incapable of serving American cities as decent mayors. It does not seem unreasonable to me, or an abridgement of…
…B.C., (Lincoln, NB: Univ. of Nebraska) 1961, pp. vii & 330. Eddy’s thesis supports an underlying assumption of the present work, namely that the acts of resistance herein described constitute resistance to Roman rule per se, and not solely resistance to specific policies, much less attempts to support Roman rule by encouraging the Romans to adopt policies conducive to stability and acquiescence which were in Rome’s own interest. 2.
