I purposely did not capitalize the "r" in the title. I think I have met perhaps 7 rabbis of the reform movement and only one... a temporary appointee back in the 1990's, was ok. Others include: one who silenced me when I read a passage from the book: "Life is with people"; one who seemed to not be teaching one of my daughters well; one who asserted that since the word "promise" wasn't used then doing something "asserted" was not required; one who could not take a compliment; one+one who didn't ask questions or follow a reasonable process; and one who doesn't listen/hear or seem to know things such as the difference between honors and service.... So - Ignorance, duplicity, power, compassion, etc... quite lacking.
Who knows what the 1990's temp Rabbi might have eventually said/done .. but he like me have both been essentially forgotten. Few remember his year here and my presidency is not remembered, either.
I may call the current guy on his not listening since he may have misrepresented me and that would cause me harm. Slander? Of course -- would he care? He is only a temporary fill-in... and maybe that is what he does because he recognizes personal limitations...??
oh well... =========================================
And today I had my knee examined and physical therapy is to be done. Nothing operatable... Pain management.... exercise to strengthen muscles in area. I was examined by a young doctor for whom I may have been gabbia... Nice doctor. Nice family. Interesting times/ages!
