S1 Ep9: Putting the "ish" in Jewish [Matt Reimer]

Rabbi Matthew Reimer has served as rabbi to congregations in California, New York (where he lives now), New Jersey (where he works now), and New Orleans (where I met him). From the LES to Williamsburg, he became #TheRooftopRabbi of New York City during the COVID-19 lockdown. Not only did he once work for the New York Philharmonic, he also played flag football for the Israeli National team while living and traveling throughout the country.  We get into the similarities between church engagement trends and synagogue engagement trends, particularly post-pandemic. It’s one thing for a progressive Christian pastor to imagine a posture beyond religion. How does that conversation sound in Reform Judaism? We’ll consider these questions and more on today’s episode of Beyond Religion. #TheRooftopRabbi #coronoarabbi #anewyearofhope #anewyearofpeace #anewyearofgrace
