And then they quote: When a man has a son – this means a son and not a daughter, a son and not a man, and a minor is exempt since he has not as yet entered into the…
…a distinct movement in its own right. It was not until the 1990’s that the United Synagogue took the name United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. My great-grandparents followed in the footsteps of their parents in living as observant traditional Jews. They were not Orthodox. They were not Hippies. They were by definition Conservative Jews. I am proud to be a Conservative Jew like my great-grandparents. May God grant that I be blessed with great-…
…Donald Trump signed barring many refugees and immigrants from entering the United States: Deeply rooted in our tradition, faith, and values, we are a people of immigrants. Throughout our history we often were the stranger in a strange land and were persecuted and attacked simply for being the other. As Jews, it is not only our religious values that speak to welcoming those who seek shelter and safety, but it is also a pillar of free, democratic na…

…ady, the vindictiveness of this blessing: this effort to drag G-d into the business of family revenge, a business that here harms not just the wrongdoer but an innocent grandson. The second peculiarity of this blessing intensifies that theme: In offering this first human blessing, Noah uses a strange name for G-d: “Blessed be the L-rd, the G-d of Shem; let Cannan be a slave to them,” he says. The G-d of Shem. Not “Blessed be the L-rd,” full stop,…

This life-lesson comes to me when I see the frequent references made to Israel’s purported “genocide,” “ethnic cleansing,” “eradication of an entire people” and “population expulsions” past, present and planned.
