The Reno Gazette Journal hosts Faith Forum on Sundays. A question is answered by clergy from many faiths. Rabbi Beyer provides the Jewish response.

RGJ asked: Is hypocrisy a grave sin?

Judge Not

Hypocrites say one thing and do another. At worst, we judge others as evildoers, ourselves as innocent. Then, thinking we're right, we, G-d forbid, commit evil acts presuming G-d is on our side. It's difficult to see ourselves as "wrong." Sometimes we feel entitled to judge others be they politicians, Hollywood, people who are not like "us," or even our family and friends.

Psychologists note that when we judge ourselves, we highlight achievements, ignore failures and justify our behaviors, rather than work to improve weaknesses. Our Sages suggest doing a "soul-accounting" each night. What did we do or fail to do? How did we treat others? How can we improve tomorrow? Do our words match our deeds? Are we honest, ethical and compassionate people? Certainly hypocrisy is a sin, especially when we judge others when it's not our responsibility to do so. We are to judge other people with mercy.

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 2015 it was 4 YEARS for Faith Forum column to run in the RGJ. This interfaith group is now working towards a book which would be an edited collection of these columns. See 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 (enthusiasm) and the food is sweet. Beth Or is affiliated with the Jewish Community of Elko County. Rabbi Beyer also works with North Tahoe Hebrew Congregation, Tahoe Vista, Lake Tahoe.
