About Mike

I have lived in Northern Virginia since 1973. Adult Jewish education is my second career and I do it first because teaching is, for me, the best motivation for learning and now that I have the time for learning, there is nothing that is more enjoyable. But the other reason is that teaching adults about the Jewish tradition is an important part of helping with Jewish continuity: the more that Jewish adults know, the more we can teach our children and grandchildren. And the more that non-Jewish adults know about the Jewish tradition, the fewer stereotypes and negative images they're likely to hold and transmit to others.

I have taught Jewish history, philosophy and mysticism at adult education programs at a variety of locations in the Baltimore-Washington, DC area. Additionally, I lecture on topics that include Reconstructionism, Jewish Mysticism, Jewish music, Jewish Ethics, and Jews in the Hellenistic period. I have been a lay leader of Conservative, Reconstructionist, and independent services. In 2001, I edited Kabbalah and the Art of Being, by Dr. Shimon Shokek, published by Routledge Press.
