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. Since 2006 over 25,000 people have 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.
