In less than two hours, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar—Yom Kippur—will start. Twenty-five hours of fasting, prayers and attunement.

Tonight starts the new years in the Hebrew calendar, so my wife Lisa and I prepared a little offering for the new year.

On 8/25/2021 I was interviewed by Rabbi Lauren Holtzblatt, Senior Rabbi of Adas Israel Congregation–the largest, oldest Conservative synagogue in Washington, DC.

On May 16 this year (2021) I gave the talk below at the Manhattan JCC. The context was the holiday of Shavuot, that takes place fifty days after Passover (Shavuot later incarnated as the Christian holiday Pentacost). In the talk, a mystical perspective on the question paused in the prayer, “where is the place of His glory?”, is being offered.
