Want to be kinder and less angry?

Do you want to be kinder and less irritated in your life?

I don’t have all the answers but here is what I know…

Wisdom Talk: Kindness: better than anger

A Wisdom Talk: Rabbi Brian synthesizes classic rabbinics, world religions, and philosophy into Wisdom Biscuits: tasty, digestible, and filling.

The Jewish Journal describes my talks as “A bewitching combination of borscht-belt humor with a Dharma talk.”

Kindness: better than anger

Learn: The 2 Causes of Anger // How to get angry correctly // Upstream and Downstream: a parable // How to be kind // How to deal gracefully with change // Not to be (as) offended (as often) // The only true cause of mistakes,

Wisdom and quotes from: Shantideva // Reinhold Neibur // Aristotle // The Talmud // St. Augustine // Jesus // (T)God(OMU) // Native American Culture

Three Formats!

1. Audio

After giving this talk 6 times to 6 classes in 2 days, I recorded this almost 30 minute talk in an empty classroom. There is a little post-production where the audio needed to be fixed and you can hear the school bell in the background at some point.

But, I am confident that the variances in audio will not diminish from your enjoyment of the messages.

2. 17+ Pages Illuminated PDF

This is the edited transcript of the 28 minute talk. I hired a college-aged friend to illustrate the text to make the read more ‘fun’ and more Web 2.0.

You will enjoy both the layout and the content.

3. Video Preview

See a graphical recording of this Wisdom Talk. And, hear a preview of the audio.

Not downloadable as of yet. A free taste!

(No, I am not the one who did the drawing.)

100% Guaranteed

$6 for either format, the audio or the pdf.

100% money-back, no questions asked, guarantee.

(Ain’t got $6? E-mail me and I’ll find ROTB donors to scholarship you. No questions asked.)

With love,

Rabbi Brian

I am supposed to arrive at the wedding rehearsal at 4 p.m. I planned on arriving 15–20 minutes early. Because I don’t like being late. However, I took a wrong turn. 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

To offset our discomfort about our upcoming visit to the Terezín (in German: Theresienstadt) concentration camp/ghetto, Emmett and I fall into making dark jokes. Gallows humor. “Do you think they still give free tattoos upon arrival?” “Want to wear matching pajamas for our tour?” Dark, ugly jokes. Because reality is just too overwhelming. The feelings are too overwhelming. So we

Has anyone seen my keys?!

August 23, 2026

Jane and the kids misplace keys. Not me. I don’t. I always return my key to the keyrack. That’s where they go. When the key isn’t on the hook, which happens from time to time, I find it on some surface in the house. Usually, the kitchen table. Then, without fanfare, I pick it up, hang it up, and restrain
