TOWARD BUILDING THE BELOVED COMMUNITY
SEEKING A SPIRITUAL, ETHICAL, ACTION-DRIVEN COMMON GROUND

What, if any, shared spiritual and ethical values may form a basis for interfaith understanding and cooperation? Is “Look how much we have in common!” the end or simply the beginning of interfaith dialogue?

STILL A CRAZY JEW AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
How I strayed from yeshiva and orthodoxy, but still defend them.

CROSSING THE LINES
An aggressive agenda for a "cross-denominational" covenant to unite Jews despite the denominational titles behind which they hide.

MY SPIRITUAL HERO . . . CHARLES ATLAS
Dynamic Tension: A new/old paradigm for making sense out of religious expectations.

QUESTIONS GENTILES ASK ME AND ANSWERS I TRY TO GIVE THEM
Sublime and ridiculous queries from 30 years among Southern Baptists and the rest of the Fundamentalist crowd.

A CHRISTIAN’S ENCOUNTER WITH JUDAISM
Typically a weekend scholar-in-residence program geared to churches in communities with little Jewish exposure, but can be adapted to a one-day program.
Events typically include: diagnostics with minister for desired points of emphasis/hot buttons, coffee/discussion with vestry, curriculum workshop with faculty, adult/children Sunday school (usually “Jewish Show and Tell”), sermon/keynote, “Nothing’s Off Limits” Q&A after services, meeting(s) with youth group and other participants, debriefing meeting with minister, recommended follow-up. Programs are tailored to meet specific congregational needs/interests.

THIS IS A HOUSE OF . . . ER . . . UH . . . GOD, BUT ARE THE BATHROOMS CLEAN?
DESIGNING A SPIRITUAL, PROGRAMMATIC AND ORGANIZATIONAL CONGREGATIONAL VISION
Humorous but substantive strategies to diagnose and fix a dysfunctional congregation.
(May be offered as a stand-alone presentation or an interactive workshop but on an evening, Sunday or a scholar-in-residence weekend.)

CARDIAC A’FRESSED, FOOD AS SACRAMENT
A GLUTTONOUS TOUR CONDUCTED BY RABBI RIBEYE
The passion of Jewish gastronomics, comically presented by a rabbi who was born to eat, trained to be kosher and destined to cook, write and talk about it. Circumstances permitting, this presentation can be done as a cooking demonstration, taste-and-tell, dinner party and/or Sabbath dinner.

IN THE SHADOW OF BOB JONES
What has life as a rabbi been like at the tip of the buckle of the Bible Belt? Fundamentalists and me . . . a little understanding, a lot of going to hell, no crosses burned on my lawn . . . yet.

THE REBBE AND ME
My wonder-life as a Closet Lubavitcher and how a kid from Greenville, SC, became a consultant to how and where the mission of Chabad is heading.

STILL AN OUTSIDER: MY GRIPES WITH THE JEWISH ESTABLISHMENT
How can smart people be so stupid? Do the agenda, leadership and vision of the American Jewish establishment have any touch-point with reality?

STILL STANDING
Picking up ones self (myself) after failed marriages and ministries. Admitting failure. Screaming nightmares. Near-death by bipolarity. Prostrate on my mother’s grave. Taking control.
