I think that is because Protestants tend to think in a fundamentally Roman Catholic way, even if they do not always b... | ['Religion', 'Protestant', 'Judaism', 'Catholicism', 'Jesus'] |
I have been doing research into the Semitic origins of New Testament ecclesial structures. My research, even in its primordial phase, propelled me towards Catholicism from my Protestant Baptist roots.

In every generation of every family there is a story keeper. The story keepers diligently document what is known, preserving the stories that have come down to us from our ancestors. Families love the story keeper because it means they do not have to do the tedious work themselves. They even love occasionally to hear t... | ['Religion', 'Judaism', 'Npe', 'Brca', 'Dna'] |
One Wednesday that August you are having breakfast in a diner in Kingman, Arizona. You’d woken up with a yen for pancakes, could almost taste the butter melting into syrup, and want to pretend to be human again, hanging out with other good Americans and saying things like hot enough for you, maybe doing the crossword. ... | ['Heroin', 'Jerry Lee Lewis', 'Las Vegas', 'Judaism', 'Nazis'] |

In the past few weeks there have been some high profile circumcisions in the news. The first was the son born to Israeli news anchor Lucy Aharish and Israeli film actor Tzachi Halevi. The second was the set of twin boys born to the world-renowned musician Idan Raichel and his partner Damaris Doival. Naturally, being a ... | ['Brit Milah', 'Israel', 'Judaism', 'Politics', 'Intermarriage'] |
As children, we often believed authority figures were intrinsically good. Looking to leaders for direction, children grow up with the belief that authorities don’t harm them. At some point in our lives, we learn that this narrative is not always true. Historically, those with positions of authority have used their posi... | ['Jewish On Campus', 'Anti Semitism', 'Judaism', 'Toronto', 'Jewish'] |
As the Yamim Noraim wind to their conclusion and we approach Yom HaKippurim 5782, I’m thinking about kayfabe.
Don’t dust off your old Hebrew-English dictionary looking for the word in there; you won’t find it. It’s a term of unclear linguistic origin that emerged from the world of traveling circuses, but it is most co... | ['Yom Kippur', 'Apocalypse', 'Judaism', 'Climate Change', 'Wrestling'] |

As our packed minivan stood in traffic, the tension was thick. I had finally started questioning the very nature of our excursion: a 9-week road trip around the country and back. Maya and Talia were fighting like typical 6 and 8 year old sisters. Sandy and I were ready to kill one another. We had reached a tipping poin... | ['Judaism', 'Family Travel', 'Travel', 'Road Trip Planner', 'Americana'] |

As we head into our second covid era Rosh Hashana, a lot has changed about our lives. Many people have moved to new communities (space, cost, weather), tightened their friend group (social distancing), and altered their synagogue attendance habits (to be determined).
One thing I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is:... | ['Sermons', 'Religion', 'Judaism'] |
