You’ll find both of them in an article in this week’s New York Magazine, called, “Join A Brownstone Shtetl,’ part of their Inner Peace special issue.

The story is about Rabbi Andy Bachman my blog fave and the newish rabbi at Congregation Beth Elohim. Author Douglas Rushkoff and family are new members of the congregation and Doug is the author of ten books including, “Nothing Sacred,” about institutional Judaism and its discontents. Rushkoff says this of Rabbi Andy’s approach: “It’s this 21st centruy Judaism in this nineteeth-centruly facility.” I know what he means.

Rabbi Andy, who was one of the Park Slope 100, had this to say about his new job: “The concept of the ‘neighborhood rabbi’ is at the core of my work. If I forget to make a call to a sick person, if I was too brusque with someone, if I missed an appointment, I hear about it immediatel because we all live in the same neighborhood.”

I say this as a non-temple member: you gotta love the guy. And read his blog.
