The Reno Gazette Journal's FAITH FORUM ASKS:
Is My Religion the Only Way to Relate to G-d?
Rabbi Beyer says, that there are...
Judaism Best for Jews
Judaism is the best path to G-d for Jews. However, there are many paths to G-d as the Talmud says, "All the righteous have a portion in the World to Come." Judaism is a lot of work and conversion to become Jewish is not necessary. Isaiah 42:6 calls us to be a [spiritual] light to the world. To be that light, Sages note that the Jewish path includes daily prayers, a recommended 100 blessings a day, which some would interpret as constant G-d awareness, 613 commandments, ethical behavior, maintaining positive thoughts, daily study and a variety of additional practices to attain "holiness."
It is said, "Es iz schver zu zein a Yid." Yiddish for "It's difficult to be a Jew." However, for a Jew to not be a Jew is even more difficult.
In the New Year 2014, each of us has an opportunity to become more spiritual and learn more using spiritual technology handed down to us over millenia. We have a path engraved on our heart and it's up to us to follow it.
Faith Forum appears each Sunday in the Local Life Section of the Reno Gazette Journal. Faith Forum clergy answer a question posed each week and responses in the paper are limited to 150 words. Rabbi Beyer is featured as the "Jewish" response. In February 2013 it was 2 YEARS for Faith Forum column in the RGJ. This interfaith group is now working towards a book which would be an edited collection of these columns. See their website at www.nevadafaithforum.org

Temple Beth Or is an evolving group dedicated to Jewish values and learning. We support chevruta study (partner or small group study) and "experiencing" G-d. Friday night Shabbat services are musical, filled with ruach (passion) and the food is sweet. Our ongoing partner includes the Jewish Community of Elko County. Rabbi Beyer also works with North Tahoe Hebrew Congregation, Tahoe Vista, Lake Tahoe.
