How can you believe in Jesus and still remain a Jew? I can't be anything other than a Jew. I am part of a people, even if many of my people choose to dissassociate with me. My grandparents were from the same shtetls in Europe as other Jews. My parents were as observant or non-observant as other New York Jewish families. It's true that I was raised to believe that Jesus was not part of the "Jewish experience." But Jesus became part of my experience and as a result I find it possible to be both Jewish and Christian. I still don't have a Christmas tree in my home and I don't hunt for Easter eggs. But my Jewish celebrations have been expanded to include the New Testament teachings as well. What do you mean? When I have a seder, I incorporate the belief that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. When I fast on Yom Kippur I do so with the knowledge that my name is already written into the Book of Life- the Lamb's book of life.

Who on the pages of the Bible, would you especially like to meet? I'd like to talk to Moses and find out what leadership principles he felt were most important. I'd like to talk to Deborah and find out how she handled the gender criticism that inevitably came her way. I'd love to meet Barnabus in the New Testament and get some tips on how to be an encourager of others.

What places in the world have you not visited? Central Africa, China, South America, Antarctica, but I'm open to invitations!
