The ongoing saga of a 40 year-old Rabbi who loves to bring people closer to God. I am married to my high school sweetheart (whom I met at shul when I was nine!) and together we are being brought up by our three crazy kids. For five years, I worked in the same city in which I was reared but am now living 3,000 miles away. In a corn field. My claim to fame is that I am the only rabbi to have served a congregation alongside her dad. Paging Dr. Freud…

Torah in all Sorts of Places

One of the benefits of having two parents with varied musical tastes is that the Frummettes have been exposed to many different genres and musicians. Their tastes run towards the eclectic and make for some interesting playlists. Peach has recently fallen in love with this Sarah McLauchlan piece. It’

Hey Babe, What’s Your Instrument?

OK, not the coolest pick-up line. But one I heard many-a-time at band camp. Only we didn’t call it band camp back then. It was music camp. And my instrument was voice — which never failed to bring on the jokes and innuendos. I rather envied them — the bandos. They were a close-knit bunch. [...]

He’s Five, People.

Peach was absent yesterday. Don’t worry; he’s fine. He just didn’t feel like going to school. So I let him stay home. Yep. I just let him stay home. With nearly twelve years of parenting experience under my belt, I only hesitated for a split-second. Just enough time for the following to run through

Selfish Tears

It was a rite-of-passage that many families experience: sending a child away to camp for the first time. But it’s not one that I actually expected. Or, at least, not in the typical fashion. I had always assumed that my kids would attend JewCamp. But I also assumed that I would serve as faculty for [

Well, That’s An Odd Choice

So what happens when a child, denied a McDonald’s birthday party, grows up? In most cases, said child is resentful, adds it to her therapy list, grows up, and then foists a McDonald’s party onto one of her children. Or… In my case, her parents throw her an ordination party at McDonald’s. But not any

Sinai — Thirteen Years Later

It was my Sinai moment. Thirteen years ago today. So much has changed since then. Deaths (people, friendships, dreams) Births (people, friendships, dreams) For everything there is a season, a time to every purpose under heaven Isn’t that what Kohelet taught? I am in no way where I thought I would be

Careful What You Tweet

I love to read. That is not news. Nor is the fact that I have been known to be drawn into a story to the exclusion of whatever may be happening around me. So when I looked up from my latest conquest read to find that several hours had passed, I thought I should let [...]

The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift

PC has learned a lot over the years. He asked me what I wanted for Mother’s Day and then got me exactly what I wanted. He called up a local spa and asked if they had anything that would “make her forget that she has a husband and kids for a little while.” Which is [...]

Around the Blogosphere: The Rebbetzin Rocks

Frume Sarah is out and about today. Best gift of the day came from Beernut. He did not wake me up this morning. That’s right. I slept until I woke on my own. At…my predictable 9:30am. Apparently, that’s been my natural time since I was born. Of course, Beernut doesn’t understand how that was a [...]

Can I Just Tell You??

Can I just tell you how much it irritates me when people who purport to be “religious” engage in unreligious or unethical behaviour?? Can I? Please….pretty please?? So I was chatting with a woman after an excruciating exhillarating Spin class. She is a member of a local Orthodox shul. In the course
