Rabbi Brian presents the story of Passover from his point of view… his chronicle of he journey from being a slave in Egypt to following Moses to freedom… (A shout out to Terry whose quiet curiosity inspires me.)

Rabbi Brian tries in just over three minutes to explain that Passover and Easter are really the same holiday, just celebrated differently and that it is the POINT of them that is important, not the details. (A shout out to John Shelby Spong whose books have taught me so much.)

Rabbi Brian talks candidly about how he often self-medicated with thought, hope, faith, and love to keep from feeling the pain in his heart. A shout out this week to the 2 families, the couple, and the man who are all having a real hard time.

Rabbi Brian returns to the notion of what RELIGION OUTSIDE THE BOX is. (This week’s shout outs goes to Mike L, who I hope forgives me for forgetting to e-mail him in a timely manner.)

Rabbi Brian talks from his heart about how he likes to be with his head in the clouds, thinking esoteric thoughts, flying… not being grounded in reality…

Rabbi Brian talks about Wu-wei — the notion of NOT-STRIVING. How often we get in the way — striving — when we would be better served not doing so. (This week’s shout out goes to me. I’ve been having a hard time.)

Rabbi Brian talks about the fact that life is pass-fail, not graded and that perhaps we all need to take is a little easier on ourselves… A shout out to my dear neighbors who are having a rough time…
