Spread the love…

Hello there,

I assume you like this newsletter.  (Well, at least 77% of them.)

Won’t you please consider sending an e-mail to your buddies to tell them about it?

Tell them something like this…. (Obviously, you might change the words to be your own.)

Hey, I receive a free e-mail newsletter from Religion-Outside-The-Box on Monday mornings 40 out of 52 weeks a year… accordingly it’s called The 77% Weekly. I think you might like it too.  All you have to do to get these spiritual-religious thought pieces is click to oldrotb.wpengine.com and enter your info on the right side.  It’s free and a rational, sane approach to empowering you to figure out for yourself what religion/spirituality means.  – 

I thank you.


 

With love,

Rabbi Brian

The 77% Weekly

The 77% Weekly: The Religion-Outside-The-Box Newsletter helps people find and be with (the) God (of their understanding) 40 out of 52 weeks a year.

 

Why 77%?
Two reasons:
1) 40/52 = 0.76923. The newsletter is sent every Monday except the last of each month.
2) In school 77% was a passing grade and ROTB is delighted to remind you that life isn’t graded.

Religion-Outside-The-Box is a donation-supported,
non-denominational, internet-based, 501c3-tax exempt religious congregation.

A Letter

May 4, 2026

Beloved, Let me tell you something I often say when counseling those mourning the loss of a loved one. “Unless you are a rabbi or minister, you shouldn’t be good at writing eulogies.” And then I add: “Let me give you a pro tip—think about writing a letter. Because you know how to write a letter and this way you

With Bread

May 4, 2026

 Love. With Bread. ✧✧✧ I live in a very progressive city. But, not everyone is of one mind. In fact, three houses to the north live Merrilee and Sardar, who, prior to the 2020 election, posted a “Trump—MAGA 2020” sign in their yard. The day Biden was elected, I texted them that a number of my friends and I were
