Writing Your Own Rabbi’s Manual (or, Can A MacBook Be An Instrument of God?)

Last updated on: December 22, 2014 at 9:18 am By Rabbi Patrick “Aleph” Beaulier

This story has three parts: It’s just a mezuzah. No big deal. Do rabbis really do this junk? Can a MacBook be an instrument of God? Let’s begin… It’s just a mezuzah. No big deal. I’ve been asked to officiate the affixing of a mezuzah to the doorpost of a woman’s home.* To be honest, there is not much of a reason to have a rabbi participate in this. Anyone with a home and a mezuzah can do this. It’s... Read more

People, Process, Product: Spiritual Lessons For Entrepreneurs From Marcus Lemonis #TheProfit

Last updated on: December 16, 2014 at 12:47 pm By Rabbi Patrick “Aleph” Beaulier

I don’t watch a lot of reality TV. But recently, I have come to really appreciate The Profit, a CNBC show where serial entrepreneur Marcus Lemonis goes into struggling businesses, invests in them, and isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty in the process. What I like the most about Lemonis is that his business savvy has little to do with making money, but more about understanding the interaction between people in an organization, what they do all day, and...

Can Coffee Bring You Closer To God?

Last updated on: November 26, 2014 at 3:29 pm By Rabbi Patrick “Aleph” Beaulier

In Judaism, we have a custom of saying three, daily prayers: morning, afternoon and evening.

I’m A Rabbi With Tattoos (Ask Me Anything)

Last updated on: November 26, 2014 at 3:29 pm By Rabbi Patrick “Aleph” Beaulier

Hi, my name is Patrick, and as you can tell from the title of this blog (thanks Patheos for the chance to be here!) I am a rabbi with tattoos. Generally speaking, when someone sees my tattoos and finds out I’m a rabbi, it elicits one or more of the following questions: Doesn’t it say somewhere that you’re not supposed to do that? You can’t get buried in a Jewish cemetery! Haven’t you heard of the Holocaust? My replies are... Read more
