Did you know that Judaism is much more than the religion of the Hebrew Bible?  Did you know that Jews have sacred literature beyond the Hebrew Bible (that we have our own "New Testament")?  Did you know that Jews mean something completely different than Christians when we speak of the Messiah, sin, redemption, salvation, repentance and forgiveness? Come and question, learn and explore with Rabbi Michael Lotker, author of A Christian's Guide to Judaism. No charge.
Rabbi Lotker comes to us with a wealth of experience. A Phi Beta Kappa/Magna Cum Laude physicist, he spent the bulk of his first career in the alternative energy business, working in wind power, solar and geothermal energy. About 500 of the windmills that are spinning in Palm Springs, California were financed and installed by a company that Mike was President of. In 2003, he was ordained as a rabbi at Hebrew Union College in Los Angeles, where he also received his Master of Hebrew Letters degree. He is presently the Community Rabbi for the Jewish Federation of Ventura County and the Scholar In Residence at Temple Adat Elohim in Thousand Oaks, CA. In addition to his studies, Mike has published a book for the Paulist Press entitled "A Christian's Guide to Judaism."
