What does Judaism tells us about how to live a meaningful life? 

There is a lot of talk right now about people turning away from a more organized religion and turning toward their own version of spirituality, what are your thoughts about that? 

What does Judaism teach us about the afterlife and what happens to us when we die? 

How do you as a Rabbi help people understand communication such as signs to understand and make sense of these experiences within the framework of Judaism.  

 

Can you talk about your recent  experience that was spiritually transformative in a way that made you rethink how you thought about faith and things happening for a reason? 

Many people really dislike the phrase "everything happens for a reason"  and I understand why, can you describe your experience and how you came to a potential reogranization of how you understand faith as a result of that experience?
