Why this blog? If not this blog, which blog?

Many people in this neck of the woods have never knowingly met a Jew. Some can NOT conceive of the very idea of non-Christians. Educating these people is how I became 'Rabbi to the goyim', and a lay chaplain. There may be some who will recognize me from encounters they've had with me where this has all come up. So be it.
A conversation with a medical colleague resulted in an "Ask the Rabbi" e-mail exchange. This also became the impetus for this blog. Names and phrases may be deleted or *'ed out to protect anonymity. The word 'goyim' is used here in it's literal sense, 'nations' or gentiles (non-Jews), with no pejorative intent.
Rabbi Mair ben-Baruch ha-Cohen
