Rabbi Jon's Podcasts

This is the first half of a presentation and discussion about end of life issues and dilemmas, viewed though a Jewish lens.  In this part I'm speaking, and in the second part I'm joined by Dr. Stephanie Wolf-Rosenblum, Chief Medical Officer at Southern New Hampshire Medical Center.

I'm resuming my series of monthly podcasts about middot. For the month of Adar, when we celebrate Purim, I'm focusing on simcha -- "joy."  For more about Purim, click here.

Middot are ethical qualities, habits of character.  This month's podcast is about gratitude, in Hebrew hakarat hatov or literally "recognizing the good."

This is the first in what will be a monthly series about middot or ethical qualities, aspects of our character.  The first focus is patience, in Hebrew savlanut.

Here is a brief explanation of what goes on at Simchat Torah services.  In the middle is one simple melody that we sing with each of the Hakafot, the processions around the Sanctuary carrying the Torah scrolls.

This is a version of the sermon I gave on the morning of Shabbat Zachor, a different perspective on Megillat Esther.
