Rabbi daniel lehmann

We have a growing number of interfaith families, and families that have no synagogue affiliation and who are marginal in terms of other affiliations.

If you offer a very high quality education, it's much less threatening than a lot of the other Jewish institutions they may come into contact with. It becomes an entry point. Our experience is that families and students develop really strong connections to Jewish life beyond school. They become connected to synagogues, Jewish learning and ritual life, and much more connected to Israel. It's really remarkable to see.

We breathe, we think, we conceive of our lives as narratives.

It will be the equivalent of having your priest or rabbi, your lawyer or your wife, testifying against you.

I refuse to stand up in front of a rabbi and my friends and the woman I love - who I will tell you I can love with all my heart - and promise she will be the only one I will ever have until the day I die. That's a lie.
