In a world where quick answers often replace deep thinking, there is an ever-growing need for thorough and meaningful resources that bridge ancient wisdom with modern intellectual curiosity. This project, Scriptural Reflections and Moral Insights, emerges from years of study, teaching, and research into the ethical and spiritual dimensions of Jewish texts, crafted specifically for non-Jews seeking to understand the timeless principles of ethical monotheism.
Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of teaching and lecturing in various academic and community settings, including Dalhousie University, King’s College, Stockholm University, and in communities across Scandinavia and North America. My work as a Rabbi in Stockholm and Halifax, alongside the hundreds of online classes I’ve conducted for Noahide communities worldwide, has shown me the increasing thirst for high-quality, authoritative learning materials. People—scholars, educators, and individuals from diverse walks of life—are eager to explore these texts not only for their historical value but for the ethical and philosophical insights they offer today.
This project is the sum of those experiences. It is the culmination of years spent answering questions, leading study groups, and diving deeply into the profound teachings of the Prophets, Rabbis of the Mishna and Talmud, Maimonides, and many others, including thoughts and commentaries of scholarly rabbis of our generation.
At the heart of Scriptural Reflections and Moral Insights is a commitment to presenting the depth and integrity of classical Jewish texts, while making them accessible and enriching for a wide audience. This resource is especially crafted for learned individuals, Noahides, and those who see themselves as scholars in search of something more than surface-level teachings.
Drawing from scripture, and weaving in reflections from modern scholars, these blog posts explore the ethical foundations of monotheism, with particular focus on the writings of Maimonides. The posts are designed not just to present the texts but to engage readers in an intellectual journey that connects ancient wisdom to modern life, emphasizing collective responsibility and moral growth. The idea is to show how these timeless principles are not just abstract religious ideals but practical, guiding lights for how we live today.
The blog posts on this site will be presented alongside content from my other ongoing project, Psalms Study, where I have been translating the Book of Psalms directly from Hebrew, with commentary drawing on Midrash and Jewish tradition. Both projects share a common goal: to offer a rich, academically sound, and spiritually uplifting resource for readers who are looking to deepen their understanding of scripture.
In Scriptural Reflections and Moral Insights, you will find a thoughtful integration of Noahide ideas, ethics, and insights from rabbinic authorities. The material is intended to resonate with scholars, thinkers, and educators who want to engage in serious reflection, while also serving as a practical guide for living a life of ethical monotheism.
I invite you to join me on this intellectual and spiritual journey. Together, we will explore the profound teachings that have guided generations and discover how they can continue to shape our world today.
