An Introduction

My name is REJ.

I live in the northwest Galilee, not far from the Lebanese border. It is truly one of the last corners of Israel, both literally and figuratively. Not only are we cozily tucked in the very top left corner of the country, the area is quite pristine for Israel.

Until recently, I was a congregational rabbi in a midsized synagogue in the western states region. I am being coy, because I might be compelled by the moment or any other compelling reason, to refer to my previous employers than less than every bit of perfect that they all are. I am going through some kind of detox from pulpit life for sure, but I digress.

What I hope to do here is share some thoughts on any range of topics, from Israeli politics and culture to an American deconstructionist diatribe; from highly spiritual to practically pagan!

Welcome and Enjoy!
