The Soul of the Underdog

My decision to pursue a career in the rabbinate was deeply influenced by my upbringing as a New York Mets fan in the 1970′s and 1980′s. To read more about the connection between baseball and Talmud study, visit www.thisibelieve.org and read my essay titled “The Soul of the Underdog,” published online by This I Believe, Inc., National Public Radio and Atlantic Public Media.

Reflections on the Rabbinate

Several years ago, I was privileged to write an article at the invitation of Professor Jack Wertheimer of The Jewish Theological Seminary of America (New York). This piece, titled “Transdenominationalism and the Future of the Conservative Movement,” was published in a symposium collection in Judaism: A Journal of Jewish Life & Thought, Issue 215/216, Volume 54, Summer/Fall 2005. It is available online at bnet.
