Seventy and retired as a pulpit rabbi

Seventy years old today.  Retired as pulpit rabbi.  Returning to this blog.

Obviously we didn't all meet in Washington DC on July 5th.  Better happened:  Bernie decided to run for president.  At a press conference in his office awhile back, before this campaign, many of us "religious leaders" joined with Bernie in advocating for the changes he and so many of us seek.  There may be a link to that conference; if so I'll add it.  Suffice it to say now, Bernie is out front of us clergy and laity concerned, just as the Vermont State Supreme Court was out front of us on the issue of civil unions.  We'll see what happens with the campaign.  

For now as I turn a corner in my life, I am writing and will post my latest in a short while.  I appreciate your reading these words.
