Rationalist Judaism
« on: October 16, 2011, 10:58:56 PM »
Anyone familiar with this blogg and Rabbi? http://www.rationalistjudaism.com/
 I read his material and read (great part) of 2 of his books- Sacred Monsters and Commentary on Perik Shira.
.   ד  עֹזְבֵי תוֹרָה, יְהַלְלוּ רָשָׁע;    וְשֹׁמְרֵי תוֹרָה, יִתְגָּרוּ בָם
4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked; but such as keep the law contend with them.

ה  אַנְשֵׁי-רָע, לֹא-יָבִינוּ מִשְׁפָּט;    וּמְבַקְשֵׁי יְהוָה, יָבִינוּ כֹל.   
5 Evil men understand not justice; but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

He's an expert on Zoology as well. (And a Rabbi).

Yes, great website.  He puts up interesting posts and there is usually pretty lively discussion there.   He's also a very kind person and very knowledgeable.

 Yepp. I personally meet him as well. As you said I also found him very kind (good midot) and knowledgeable. Got some of his books (which are amazing- got them signed too).
