The whole Temple thing must be true...wikipedia says so http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_Judaism. Check out the section of Orgin of Reform Judaism in 1800's.
Excellent!!!!

"The world is based on three things: Torah, justice, and acts of lovingkindness" is from Shimon the Just, and is the second thing you get to in Pirkei Avot -- 1:2. My favorite line from Pirkei Avot, though, is Ben Bag Bag's "Turn it and turn it again, for everything is contained in it..." (5:26). Partly because it's a neat image to explain how you keep turning torah and seeing different stuff. Secondly, because Ben Bag Bag is just a dang cool name (although I understand it's a pseudonym.. still. It's very modern and hip hop, you know? Yo, Ben Bag Bag in da HOUSE!
But sorry, Rick Recht left me cold. I am so easily irritated by people doing this sort of thing... unless it's old guys mumbling their way through the morning minyan, I usually find something to complain about.
And I was bar mitzvahed at the Conservative Temple Beth Emet... :-)
Hey Lee --
I think you should give Rick Recht another chance...did you go to his website (www.rickrecht.com)? You can listen to other samples, and you might find another song that grabs you...or you might just not like him. That's OK too. I don't love Debbie Friedman like everyone else seems to - sacrilege, I know! To each their own.
Thanks for the citation. I LOVE Pirkei Avot and should have known that was from it. Sometimes I can't think and podcast at the same time!!
Interesting that your "temple" was also called that - what part of the country? I'm trying to get a handle on a pattern, but there may not be one!

I'll check out Rick's website for more songs. As long as the kids love him and he strengthens their Jewish identity I say Kol Ha Kavod! Good show!
Temple Beth Emet is in Anaheim, CA, a couple miles from Disneyland... I am totally out of it with Debbie as well... my g/f has some of her CDs, often unopened, because they were apparently given out on high holy days... my favorite Jewish composer of all time, of course, is Mark Bolan, so I need to get with the whole Jewish Community thing, I know.
