Overview

The Jewish me loves Jewishness, and even before graduating as a rabbi from the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati, education was my passion. My ordination (Semicha) identified me as both teacher and judge. However, I was never motivated to adjudicate aspects of Halacha (Jewish law), but I did believe that I could judge my own Jewish identity within the expansive landscape of multiple Judaisms. Jewish me is passionate about my rabbinic label and liberated to judge the content. If I can be a Jewish me, then you can be a Jewish you. Indeed, my readers can embrace Jewishness by discovering mindfulness in this handbook, as a Jew or non-Jew. Using storytelling and perspectives more related to Jewish peoplehood than religious dogma, this handbook as a primer, can be read as a totality to gain an overview of Jewish identity or as individual chapters for insights into a particular topic. -Howard I. Bogot, Rydal Park, Rydal, PA, 2018

Shortly after Rabbi Howard Bogot moved into the Rydal Park community, I immediately recognized a colleague who brought a great deal of wisdom and joy to our campus. As his teaching has continued, we have been exposed to Rabbi Bogot's perspectives on the values of Jewish life and how they come to bear in our daily existence. His storytelling and parables of life, so wonderfully presented in this book, truly will be a continuing blessing. Rev.
