More to say later, but for now...
I am celebrating the life of a dear friend, Walter Brueggemann. He died today at the age of 92 & has been a constant source of support over the years. I know there is a cloud of witnesses welcoming him home on the other side, but we'll miss him over here.

🚨New Post—Jesus, Balaam, and the Transfiguration

Balak didn’t want truth. He wanted a frame.
So he showed Balaam the outskirts—parts easiest to twist.
The margins that could carry a curse.

And it’s still happening today.

Refugees are framed as threats.
Media loops the worst moments.

What's the difference between Reform and Reconstructionist?

Between Havurah and indie minyan?

What are all these theologies & streams really about?

Because Reform isn't just Diet Orthodoxy-- each denomination & movement actually has its own story.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
