Bill's Websites

This page links you to six websites, each one highlighting an aspect of what I do, what I've done, what I create or have created and some of my greatest accomplishments.

Instead of giving people a whole list of them, I've posted this page that explains each one and links to it. These websites link to additional articles I've written and that have been written about me.

Defrocked Rabbi

"The story, musings, rants and reflections of a one-time active rabbi, now earning his living as a techno-geek by day and hypnotherapist by night"

My very occasional blog.  I'm not really defrocked, but I am an ordained rabbi, having served in that capacity for over a dozen years. For the last fifteen years that work has been limited to occasional guest rabbi gigs, while I did other things. Includes the article I wrote in 1996 describing that transition with updating comments.
 

Internet Haggadah

A Haggadah for Passover that is clear, concise, traditional, but modern, spiritual, fun and downloadable

Haggadah is a liturgy booklet Jews use to celebrate Passover. This one is different: you download one copy and print all you need; the translation is clear and direct to the point; the traditional text is lightly edited; all the Hebrew is transliterated. Last year over 8,000 people used this Haggadah.
 

Torah, Tarot & Tantra: A Guide to Jewish Spiritual Growth

My first book

When first published, it received great reviews in obscure publications. Out of print, but available through this link to Amazon. Could use a bit of revision but it's who I was 20 years ago.
