From the desk of Rabbi Brian

Life is not easy.

Aristotle wrote, “to perceive is to suffer.” The Buddha said similarly. My friend Julie says, “Life isn’t for the weak.” One of my favorite idioms in Hebrew translates as “Life is no picnic.”

Life is not easy.

It behooves us to keep that in mind.

These are rough times.

It’s not easy to be in rough times.

Take a moment to have some compassion for yourself.

(And, if you’ve done that, find compassion for others.)

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 wants to remind you that life isn’t graded, it’s pass/fail.
