Unless you're the Post Office or a University, you do not offer lifetime employment to new hires. It is a bad business practice. So why do we marry and say to each other, "this is forever" or "till death us do part"? Tenure is not good at the post office and not good at universities, so why does it work for marriage? Most successful partnerships are built on a carefully drafted partnership agreement. Why do many marriage partnershi...

Unlike alpacas, antelopes, & alligators, we humans are capable of dramatically changing the landscape of our lives. Unlike beavers, buffaloes, and bears, we don't need many generations to adapt to changing environments. No, we humans can recognize the devastation that inflation is wreaking on our lives -- and adapt! First, recognize the true extent of inflation. At least 20% since April 2020. That is like someone stealing a $100 bi...

Men used to tend toward jobs in which they work with things (farming, construction, factories, etc) while women tended towards home and family or jobs in which they work with people (teaching, nursing, stewardess, etc) . A few people worked with ideas (lawyers, philosophy professors, clergy). Today it's less evident than it used to be. But maybe men still yearn to make, manipulate, or fix things so they have hobbies. Men working in...

Lighting oneself on fire to make a political point; heroism or immorality? How we decide will impact the streets of your city. As for your rabbi, not so interested in talking to someone who brings a can of gasoline and a lighter to the discussion. Suicide = Murder; true or false? Single people can be happy. Anyone can be happy--it's a decision. Women generally want to be married. Men learn, often too late, how much they need marria...

Back in 1950 Yemenite Jews arriving in Israel saw water faucets and thought they create water. They knew nothing of the invisible infrastructure of pipes and pumps that made water gush out of the faucet. Similarly there is invisible spiritual infrastructure that makes modern commerce possible. Finding food in the supermarket reliably every day; assuming the light will come on when you flick the wall switch; reaching someone on the ...

Co-hosted with Susan Lapin. If you cannot play tennis, your life can still be good. If you can't sing, play a musical instrument, or tell jokes, your life can still be wonderful. But there are five distinct things that are vital for every successful and happy life. What is more, you cannot have 3 out of the 5. It's all five or nothing. In a way, these five things make up an indivisible totality of good living. A good way of thinkin...

Why hate the Jews? The honest, true, and deeply uncomfortable explanation for anti-Semitism. Two nations on one island: Haiti is desperate and hopeless. The Dominican Republic is vibrant and successful. What is the difference? Whenever you hear concern about "The Children" know that you are being powerfully and emotionally manipulated for political purposes.

I prefer a sacred Christmas to a secular Christmas. Secularism is not just a fair way to organize a pluralistic society. It exerts a malign influence on civilization. In ways you can't imagine. A guy is really unhappy because his wife lunches with a male colleague a couple of times a week. Is his bank account relevant to this story? Why platonic friendships between men and women between the ages of 15 and 70 never work. Is an emo...

Preserving a functioning family or a successful society is hard and mostly depends on a rare array of tools. In this show, your rabbi provides a guide to those tools. Are you thinking abo...
