Why Is Judaism Struggling In The United States?

Last updated on: February 14, 2025 at 5:08 am By Alonzo Gaskill, PhD

Judaism is one of the most ancient surviving religions on the earth today. Its age, cultural heritage, and deep ritual practice are rivaled by only a few sacred traditions. And, as the parent of the two other Abrahamic religions (i.e., Christianity and Islam), Judaism’s impact on the world has been multiplied many times over. Quite literally, more than 3.5 billion humans today have been directly or indirectly impacted by this ancient faith tradition. Denominational Diversity While the Biblical account of... Read more

Unitarian Universalism and the B’nei Anusim Jews

Last updated on: August 25, 2022 at 6:20 pm By Guest Contributor

By Dr. Laura McGuire Judaism and Unitarian Universalism have deep intertwining roots. Their inherent commonalities have laid a strong foundation, past and present. For those of us who identify as Jewish UUs, these commonality currents take on more meaningful importance. So why have UU spaces long been a spiritual haven for progressive-minded Jews and how this relationship can continue to evolve into the future? Going back to the dawn of the Unitarian movement in Eastern Europe, Jews have been able... Read more

Ukraine in Prophecy: The Jeremiah Factor

Last updated on: April 29, 2022 at 3:36 pm By Guest Contributor

Even before the Russian invasion, the Lord had begun to show me Ukraine in the prophecies of Jeremiah. The word of the Lord came to me: “What do you see, Jeremiah?” “I see the branch of an almond tree,” I replied. The Lord said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.” Jeremiah 1:11–12 This almond tree will help us unlock Jeremiah’s prophecies about Ukraine.

Did False Prophets Motivate Events at the US Capitol?

Last updated on: January 15, 2021 at 2:26 pm By Guest Contributor

According to the Bible a false prophet is one who pretends to speak for God but in reality speaks for himself and is moved by his own intentions, emotions and political commitments. (Jeremiah 14:13–15; 23; Ezekiel 13:2, 3, 10, 11). Unlike Prophet Jeremiah, who had at least three false prophet antagonists; Ahab (Jeremiah 29:21), Azur (Jeremiah 28:1), and Hananiah (Jeremiah 28:5) Prophet Muhammad had lots of enemies in Macca, but none of them were false prophets of the one and...

The pandemic is overwhelming and disorienting. There are certain things you can do– wash your hands, follow guidelines for social distancing, cough into the crook of your elbow. Still, the enormity of the problem and the dramatic changes it has wrought in our lives has left many of us feeling out of control.

Life in the “World House”: Cultivating Leaders for a Pluralistic Age

Last updated on: February 19, 2020 at 10:06 pm By Guest Contributor

In December 1964, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther Ling, Jr. was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In his laureate lecture, Dr. King spoke of a “world house,” calling on his listeners to embrace a vision of humankind as interconnected and interdependent. The great Civil Rights leader argued that people had become “unduly separated in ideas, culture and interest,” and that because “we can never again live apart, [we] must learn somehow to live with each other in peace.” Dr. King’s...
