  1. Shavua tov!

    So finally I finished the whole book as my #ShabbatReading. It’s really good. I recommend anyone who is interested in how #Halacha fits into Progressive/Reform/Liberal #Judaism. I found his argument very persuasive.

  2. CW: Funerals and content of funerals

    So, I’ve never been to a #Jewish #funeral, and I have questions.

    1. Is there wailing? (depends on ethnicity?).
    2. Is the casket open?
    3. Are there any Halachic rulings on what to do if a burial area is not available?

    For context:

    - been to a few Anglican funerals in the UK. Very staid and stiff upper lip.
    - been to several #Japanese funerals. Open casket, cremation, passing bones with chopsticks. No #wailing.
    - Taiwan has professional wailers

  3. We're the Mastodon face of an online Havurah with 2500 Jewish people, Coffeehouse Torah Talk.
    We are Jews who feel close to Conservative Judaism, Hadar, Modern Orthodoxy, the Jewish Catalog, Masorti movement, neo-Hasidism, and the tradition-embracing wing of Reform /Progressive Judaism.
    In a world of religious & political factionalism we're building a community for the moderate 80% of Klal Yisrael.
