Conversations with the RabbiI Told You So - On Parashat Mishpatim And Gun ViolenceI do recognize that there is an existential angst plaguing our world, and it may very well be the cause of violent outbursts against the most vulnerable. And there is no question that a country with more guns than people makes the worst outcomes all the more possible. But how is it that if God forbid a child got drunk at your home, and suffered a horrible accident there or once he had left, that the laws are crystal clear that you, the homeowner, can be held liable; but if your unguarded, loaded weapon is used to cause terrible damage...2023-02-1606 min
Conversations with the RabbiCrisis In Israel“The North American Jewish community has steadfastly come to the aid of Israel at moments of crisis. Israel belongs, first of all, to its citizens, and they have the final word. But Israel also matters to the entire Jewish people. When an Israeli government strays beyond what your commitments to liberal democracy can abide, you have both the right and the responsibility to speak up.” - An open letter to Israel’s friends in North America by Matti Friedman, Yossi Klein Halevi, and Daniel Gordis.2023-02-0203 min

Conversations with the RabbiShabbat In The Chappell“I was there for 10 minutes, and already I felt calmer.”
And in that moment, I was reminded once again how Shabbat is a practice that when regularly “practiced,” sensitizes us to shabbats that arise when we are least expecting them. And that is a central element for what it means to live Jewishly.
Yesterday, Ann Friedman and I visited the Auspicious Cloud Retreat Center in Chappell Hill, just an hour outside of Houston. Formerly the Margaret Austin Center, and now owned by the Houston Zen Center, this retreat center is where CSK’s first Shabbat retreat will take place, this coming Mar2023-01-1201 min
Conversations with the RabbiWith Love, Rabbi ScottIt doesn't matter if you understand all the words, know all the rituals, are fluent in Hebrew and Yiddish. What matters is your fluency as a human being. And this is what Shabbat is about - the pause we need to reawaken to our humanness,.2023-01-0502 min

Conversations with the RabbiThou Shalt Not Turn The Other CheekHow many bullets? Forget about gun laws or sentence guidelines and background checks or red flag laws. Common sense says that an 18-year-old kid buying 375 bullets should raise a red flag in anyone’s mind. Right now I am not trying to debate whether or not amending the 2nd Amendment, with laws restricting gun ownership, will end gun violence. I indeed do believe that we are suffering from far more than lax gun laws or overreach and under-regulation of guns. This is Texas, and last I checked, this is supposed to be the buckle of the Bible belt. And close to...2022-05-2606 min

Conversations with the RabbiDo We Get It?That said, I am not going to make a strong argument for or against the Exodus “happening.” Not to sound too glib, but for me it comes down to that question about the tree in the woods. If it falls, but there is no one to hear it, did it truly fall? That question is really about relevance. Does it matter? Does it affect our lives? Does the Exodus change the way we engage in that business deal we are in the middle of right now? Does it cause us to consider sharing more of our wealth with those who do n...2022-04-1404 min

Conversations with the RabbiIf The Russians Love Their Children TooI write this not from the point of view of political science or as a governmental finger pointer, but more as a prayer. I do not want to sit back and pretend that any of this is OK, “to be expected,” or “the price of admission.” As a Prophet of the people of Israel (I am neither a Prophet nor the son of a Prophet), but at times I must step into the Prophet’s shoes and declare, “we are moving in a direction that is becoming our demise.” Of course, in many ways, this is not new. And there are so many who ha...2022-03-2404 min

Conversations with the Rabbi"823,101" - My Covid Prayer For 2022823,101 dead from Covid as of today, Thursday, December 30, 2021. What must we do to help make their deaths not be in vain? Be real. Be honest. Get vaccinated. And recognize that there is NOTHING in Jewish law, tradition, lore, minhag (culture) or bubemeisse (old wives tales) that teaches or requires otherwise.

Conversations with the RabbiVax The Jews?The Goyim Defense League? It would be hilarious if it wasn't so frightening. In Austin, as the American Jewish community remembers the Tree of Life synagogue massacre in Pittsburgh, this week three years ago, the self proclaimed "GDL" hung a banner proclaiming "Vax the Jews" over the highway exit near the Jewish Community Center. Don't they know we're the most pro-vaccine religious/ethnic group in the country? Oh that's not what they meant? Click to hear Rabbi Scott's take.2021-10-2806 min

Elected by the voters of Harris County in 2018 at the age of 27, Judge Hidalgo has championed and secured greater and fairer access to the polls and advocated for the rights of business owners and customers alike to keep our public spaces as safe as possible from COVID-19.

Conversations with the Rabbi10 Commandments For Zooming Into SummerOver the past year, the existential crises brought to my attention have had much more to do with one’s self and one’s partner, than one’s parents or other close, but not live-in, relatives. In many cases, distance did make the heart grow fonder. But now, yep!, masks are off. And with them, the potential for closer ties to make things a bit closer (and potentially difficult). All this is to say, as you begin to plan for the reunion with your parents or children, perhaps consider following these little 10 commandments of “re-entry.”2021-06-1705 min
Conversations with the RabbiIsrael Is Not An Apartheid StateIsrael is not an Apartheid state.

Conversations with the RabbiBeing Jewish Feels Difficult Right Now.How do we respond to things over which we have no real control?
