The great religious-secular divide amongst Jews in Israel and to a lesser extent in America threatens not only the future of Israel but it also puts the entire Jewish people in jeopardy. There is surely enough blame to go around—but as a religious person I must begin by looking inwards and critiquing myself and my community.

There have been numerous examples over the last year of religious leaders causing difficulties for the people that they guided or advised. The most famous amongst them was Barack Obama’s former Pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Obama was forced to distance himself from his pastor after Wright was exposed as making anti-American comments. Then there was the story of John McCain and Pastor John Hagee. After it was alleged that John Hagee made anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic comments, the then Presidential Candidate John McCain publically rejected Hagee’s endorsement.

As a teacher, rabbi and writer I am fortunate to be able to interact positively with many people. Often people come to speak with me or join a class that I give with a passionate craving for spiritual knowledge and inspiration. Unbeknown to them their desire to learn and to be spiritually uplifted inspires me more than I could ever inspire them. This fact is backed up by the Kabbalists who tell us that a student with a powerful desire to learn awakens within the teacher abilities and teaching talents that are normally dormant.

In Colorado there are plenty of opportunities for spooky experiences—in fact a local bed and breakfast offers a luxurious mountain experience in its haunted house. Personally I have a healthy dose of skepticism towards ghost stories. But I do believe in the paranormal. In fact Judaism believes that ghosts exist and that spiritualists have the ability to communicate with spirits of people who have passed on. Recommend this article... |
