A Mensch's guide to life - with a focus on how religion (especially but not exclusively Judaism) can help guide us through these challenging times.

Welcome to “In This Moment: A Rabbi's Notebook” by me, Joshua Hammerman, a celebrated (and exceedingly humble) rabbi, award-winning journalist, blogger and author of Embracing Auschwitz: Forging a Vibrant, Life-Affirming Judaism that Takes the Holocaust Seriously, and Mensch-Marks: Life Lessons of a Human Rabbi - Wisdom for Untethered Times. I’ve won the top Simon Rockower Prize (known as the “Jewish Pulitzer”) for commentary and in 2019 I was first prize winner for excellence in commentary at the Religion News Association Awards.  Oh, and I’ve written for the NY Times Magazine, Washington Post and a host of Jewish and general publications, including the NY Jewish Week, where I was a regular columnist for 25 years. All while serving as rabbi (now emeritus) of Temple Beth El in Stamford, CT. You can read more about me here and to immerse yourself in the full span of my writings at my website.

Sign up now and join me in dialogue.

And by all means, tell your friends!
