Life has meaning. Yours. Mine. Everyone’s. That’s it! That’s my big audacious claim. Now, some may claim to know what that meaning is. But my suspicion? They’re making it up. Because we all are. And that, is a very good thing. Us humans, we are meaning making machines. Pattern recognizers. Maybe even pattern inventors. We are storytellers. And the stories we receive and tell, they shape us. They help us create and discover our meaning. So where do we get these stories? Some might argue that ...

Today I speak about an insight that freed me from a deep presumption carried since childhood. I saw that I am allowed to enjoy life.

Social expectations and spiritual ideals can push us to keep working on ourselves to be better, more vulnerable, or more mindful. Yet in Yo…

Jews may joke about the High Holidays being a time for binge eating—overflowing tables of multiple meats, several courses, soups, sides and desserts—but for anyone suffering from an eating disorder, it's a dangerous time of year.

What happens when we understand the guru not as an identity but as the nurturing function of Mother Nature itself?

Jewish congregations and institutions—particularly non-Orthodox ones—often focus on how they can be more appealing and accessible to the growing number of Jews who feel like religion isn't for them.

Observing Shabbat is one of the most important markers of religious Jewish identity and defining rhythms for religious communal Jewish life.
