Climbing Sinai
http://climbingsinai.com
Climbing Sinai is a blog which attempts to explore issues dealing with Jewish learning and informal education; trends in the Jewish community regarding education, knowledge, and identity; and the Jewish nonprofit world as it relates to those topics. Occasionally, when it is relevant, I will chime in with my own personal philosophies and experiences.
Climbing Sinai does not seek to dictate philosophies, religious outlooks, or ways of being – rather, it attempts to understand the ways in which contemporary Jews explore and express their Judaism. Hopefully, it will inspire excitement and interest in Judaism and Jewish life, and will raise questions about the relevancy of Judaism and tradition in the modern world.
