I’ve spoken with several people recently—friends in their 50s—who have been married for 18-20 years. They all have had issues in their marriage in the last few years. It seems to me a normal process for people to change over that amount of time and for that fact to make it difficult for marriages to […]

When we can’t seem to solve a problem, we turns to a supernal power that might provide a solution…or a miracle. Thus, more than two months into the Gulf oil spill crisis, four affected State Governors proclaimed this past Sunday, June 27th, A Day of Prayer. In other words, we turn to God for answers

The other day a friend of mine told me I’d missed an opportunity. I told him he was wrong. Well, maybe it did represent an opportunity–an opportunity for me to lose focus. Right now my life seems filled with distractions from my true goals. It’s difficult for me to remain focused on those goals and

Earlier this month I mentioned that I had turned fifty. I also mentioned in an earlier post that a few friends had helped me with a secular–or maybe “spiritual”–life-cycle ritual down at the ocean. This past weekend I had the opportunity to participate in a second and final ritual to mark my fiftieth birthday. In

I write a national column about Jewish issues for Examiner.com. Every once in a while I hit on a topic that brings the hate mongers out. These are people who have nothing nice to say about Jews in particular and whose day becomes brighter when they can leave a really nasty comment somewhere. I used
