Greetings! We thought we had lost this recording due to technical glitches, but we found it! So what does an interfaith family add to a synagogue beyond being a member? How have attitudes changed over time and whither the Jewish community today on this ever increasingly important issue? Listen and find out.

This week I am going to get something off my chest about the political/religious discussion that erupted in the past few weeks. While I don’t agree with Rev. Wright’s comments, I think we have to look at his charge as a minister and at the connection between a politician (and for that matter ALL politicians) and their spiritual leaders. Was Wright right? Hmmm…. Even if you don’t agree with him, he was carrying out his charge to his community. However, this episode brings up bigger issues about religion, culture and the homogenization we think translates into the ‘right’ answers in our society. Are they the right answers or the Wright answers and are the so different?

We had a visitor at Beth David this week from Rabbi Lev Baesh.
Rabbi Baesh is the rabbi for Interfaithfamily.com, a non-profit organization that helps families find their way into the Jewish world and the interfaith world through information, resources and training Jewish leaders to understand the issues all synagogues and Jewish institutions face in meshing people from different faith backgrounds. This is a wonderful interview about the resources and people who are trying to create paths to a Jewish involvement and life. I hope you enjoy.

Ahhh…leprosy, of all the Torah portions that might challenge a darshan (Hebrew for preacher), you have to love this one. I have spoken about this topic every year for over a decade, and this week we need to look at it in a new light. Many of the challenges we face now carry leprosy, or at least a hint of it.
