THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

1. Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS":

"If JFNA had any brains it would have articulated its position regarding the abstention in a way that was supportive of its mission.

If it only had a brain.

Or a mission."

2. The following was sent by a Friend of the Blog. You must read the entirety...and, in particular, the very last line.

Jonathan Ginsburg, a Conservative rabbi who allegedly sexually abused a female congregant he was counseling, has  changed his name and is trolling the Internet for business.
The alleged abuse took place while Ginsburg and his wife were the rabbis at Temple of Aaron (Conservative) in St. Paul, Minnesota. (Ginsburg divorced her more than a decade ago.)
He resigned in June 2004, relocated to Chicago area and led a small Conservative Synagogue, Ezra Habonim/Niles Township Jewish Congregation in Skokie, IL.
But that job also ended and Ginsburg is also excluded in perpituity from the Conservative Movement's Rabbinical Assembly, which notes:
"…Rabbi Jonathan Ginsburg is no longer a member of the Rabbinical Assembly, nor is he eligible for readmission. The RA has no association with nor does it endorse or recognize any bet din or other program run by, or participated in by Rabbi Jonathan Ginsburg.…"
Now Ginsburg has apparently changed his name and gone into business for himself as a nondenominational rabbi as his listing on Rabbi.com shows:
Rabbi Name: Rabbi Jon Hillel
Religious Genre: Conservative, Reform
Rabbi Long Description: Need a Rabbi?

He is a native of Chicago, he received his B.A. in religion from the University of Chicago where he was the valedictory orator and received his Masters and Rabbinic Ordination from the Jewish Theological Seminary where he received the Krasne Award for outstanding student.

No comment necessary.

3. Then one of my friends, not a psychiatrist, wrote: "Richard, you wrote your Love Story. You are now drafting the longest eulogy in history, every day." I know CEO Man-This-Isn't-the-Job-For-Me doesn't come to work every day saying "what can I screw up today," it just seems that way.

4. Saving the best worst for last; and I am not making this up. An agenda item for the JFNA Executive Committee: "JFNA Decision-Making in Sensitive Situations." You have to love this place!!
