Jews in Alabama, Episode #50

On a Shabbat morning episode, we discuss the CJLS survey [PDF link] mentioned on the last show, concerning gay rights and a little of everything else. We also talk about Raya's fabulous luck (again!) at the JEXNET conference, and the Great Cupcake Caper with our California syndicate. A new "Jewish" congregation comes to Birmingham, do we need to go undercover? Eric's mom was in town FROM Orlando last weekend, and Raya heads TO Orlando for "Yom Universal" next weekend. This weekend's been busy with Bubbe/Zayde Shabbat last night, and "Cosmic Bowling" tonight. (Sorry for the echoes, still working on our audio setup.) 46 minutes, 20 seconds.

I am only about 10 minutes into the episode - but the audio is hard to listen to with the echo. I think this might be due to the dual microphones.

The survey was really interesting. I would have liked the opportunity to reply to some of those questions. I think the survey shows some of views that frustrate me about the Jewish religion. I realize our religion is based on Tradition (thanks Tevia), however, I think we/Judiasm need to change with the times to stay relevant with the Jews in America and the younger generations.

Separate subject - your "sexy Rexy" was not the solution for the Bears this year. Maybe he can get better and the Bears can make a return trip in 2008.

I really look forward to your podcasts. It is a good way to pass the time while on the treadmill. Keep up the good work.
