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 standing in Kenya, with my left foot in the Northern Hemisphere and my right foot in the Southern. A line on the ground indicates the equator. Young men—asking for nothing, but hoping for tips—entertain and educate tourists, like me, about the Coriolis effect. They pour water into bowls with small holes at the bottom and let the water

✧✧✧ As I pack up to leave after my workout, someone asks me, “Hey, Rabbi, how are things going?” I’m not one for small talk. Especially after being called by my title. “Well,” I reply. “I’m sad.” “Why?” “I’m thinking about the girls who went to school in the morning in Minab, Iran—over a hundred of them—killed by a bomb.”

My Letter to Habakkuk

February 26, 2026

✧✧✧ To my dearest pen pal, Habbakuk: First, let me say, no one remembers the prophets who did not deliver on the goods. Your predictions came true. And, 2500+ years later, you are still remembered. Do you remember Lenny, that guy? Kept going around Judea telling people “the goats will lay down in green pastures,” and, then, remember? It started
