Religion Outside The Box
The quality of being Spiritual + Religious
Without the baggage

RELIGION OUTSIDE THE BOX
A different way of thinking about religion.
Empowering you to be the authority of and to have agency over your spiritualigious live.
A community of Jews, non-Jews, Catholics, ex-Mormons, a bunch of Canadians, and occasional friend in Africa, Europe, & New Zealand who feel dissatisfied with or somewhat chaffed by organized religion.
Using the G.O.D. word to refer to (the) God (of your understanding). Nothing more. Nothing less.
Few answers. Many questions.
RABBI BRIAN
rB grew up on the very small island of Manhattan where he was brought up exceedingly rational — never believing in God in any traditional way.
But, asking the question why led him to rabbinical school and subsequently to work as a congregational rabbi.
Dissatisfied with the limits of organized religion (and the noxious feeling he was being paid to promote only one path) rB became a high school mathematics teacher, where he learned the importance of patience, positivity, compassion, and having someone believe in you. (All the things he thought religion was supposed to be about.)
Incorporating these lessons with wicked amounts of honesty, Rabbi Brian started a blog The 77% Weekly Newsletter — helping thousand of readers, 40/52 weeks a year to prioritize their spiritualigious lives.
rB is honored to be the clergy person in charge of ROTB.
And, he says “hi.”
