And I saw, god is product of man

But how do I tell my rabbi? He’s a good guy.

Jacob, kids and drunks

After reading about the slaughtering of all males of a village by Jacob sons (Genesis 34) my youngest son said:

"... and then all Jacob cared about was his name!"

The Jacob dogma

I would have much more respect for those who explain the Torah would they admit that Jacob was nothing but a con man, coward and liar only surpassed by his sons who also turned out to be ignoble murderers; and that we, being descendants of such a deceitful family, should try with every generation to improve ourselves morally and thus aiming for heaven on earth.

I might not make a good rabbi ...

but my congregation would have the time of their life.
