Hello world!

For too long Jewish institutions, both secular and religious, have relied on negativity — like fear and guilt — as a means to inspire Jewish identity and involvement.  This blog hopes to counter the trend by offering positive reasons why, and joyous examples of how, one should connect to his or her Judaism, fellow Jews and ultimately the world.  My hope is that you will join me in this endeavor and share with all of us your insights into joyous Judaism, including your divrei Torah, practical suggestions, innovative ideas and information about organizations and events dedicated to positive Judaism.
