From the desk of Rabbi Brian

Thank you.


If one of the hallmarks of a spiritual-religious life is a sense of gratitude, I feel like a spiritual-religious super-star… why? Because the deep gratitude I have to all of you who have supported this outside-the-box approach to religion.

Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.

Thank you for your e-mails of support.

Thank you for telling your friends about ROTB.

And, thank you for your financial contributions.

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.

About a 1¼-mile walk from the Western

Refractory Anxiety

At the intersection of the I-5 South and the I-405 South, I went the wrong way. Now, I’ll have to turn around in a mile and a half and
