Religion plays a behind the scenes role at Disney World

http://www.islandpacket.com/2013/07/19/2585642/religious-politics-fall-to-wayside.html

In this newspaper column I wrote I discuss my recent trip to Disney World where I talk about how Disney World deals with religion both in the themes of the park and catering to the  religiously observant who visit the theme park every day.

The genre of the Black Spiritual: the music that preserves the memory of pain but also continues to give hope today.

One of the privilege of writing a column on religion is not only writing on what one knows about but also learning from new experiences. Religion in American life is full of rich history. And living in the south is one place where history is alive and well in America. I am on the road again and I am blessed to bring to my readers my recent experience listening to an amazing choral group. Take a read and tell me what you think.
Shalom,

Greetings! Here is my most recent newspaper column from the Island Packet. I comment on the recent rash of academics and entertainers who are canceling their engagements in Israel. Perceptions are reality but does that mean that the perception is true? Take a read and tell me what you think?
Thanks

I wrote this newspaper column regarding the boy scouts before the vote was taken. My friends and former congregants from Sacramento may remember the events surrounding the formation of the Scouting Sabbath program and decision by the leadership to cancel it once the Union of Reform Judaism issued a statement condemning the Boy Scouts for their policy.
Thanks for taking the time read the piece and as always your opinions are always welcome.

Are public officials of all kinds including clergy, teachers, professionals, elected officials getting off too easy when they say they are sorry for committing acts of moral turpitude? Here is my most recent newspaper column on the subject. What is your view? Thanks for taking the time to read it.
