We wish you #shabbat shalom with this quote from #JudaismDisrupted -

"Today, the established Jewish community [...] asserts that Jewish continuity depends on enough Jews doing enough Jewish things, like lighting Shabbat candles or attending a Passover Seder. I dis- agree. Judaism isn’t about doing the things that only Jews do, such as observing Jewish rituals or holidays. In truth, Judaism helps us live lives of meaning, not to ensure Jewish continuity."

"'Permeable Judaism' - a Judaism open to the world, inclusive, egalitarian, and willing to radically discard tradition to reinvent itself for the modern world."

Rabbi Michael Strassfeld interviewed by S.I. Rosenbaum for Brandeis, about his latest book with us, JUDAISM DISRUPTED:

"I believe we now need a Judaism that is not just portable but permeable — that is, open to the world and able to respond fully to an open society that strives to be ever more inclusive."

Working on #JudaismDisrupted by Michael Strassfeld (of Jewish Catalog fame!)...

Some fun disrupting of Judaism before Shabbat.

"Rabbinic Judaism was meant to be portable; it could be carried wherever Jews traveled in the world.

Now, we need a Judaism that is permeable, allowing the outside
world to easily interact with the inner world of Jewish life. How do we live in an open society?"
