| 2009-03-23 | Charles | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | The answer provided by Rabbi Lerner was clear and stated very courteously. Thank you very much. |
| 2009-03-03 | Michael | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you, Rabbi, for your detailed and quite informative answer: I should have known that such a subject would not rate a simple answer, but you did an outstanding job of allowing me to see how rich and complicated the answer is! I didn't realize that beliefs in Judaism varied so in different periods; I just thought there was one 'theology' that has survived from the beginning. I will read the book of your teacher, I'm sure it's excellent, because you, the "student", did such an excellent job with my question. This is what I love about Judaism: the deeper one goes, the more there is to learn. Sincerely, Michael |

| 2009-02-19 | Mike | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you greatly Rabbi Lerner, for your reply! I especially like Solomon Schechter's advice. I think too many people pray for G |

| 2009-01-06 | Brandon | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Rabbi Dov answered in a very succinct, if necessarily noncommittal, way. The question I asked made me uncomfortable in asking, but Rabbi Dov answered it with aplomb. |
| 2009-01-06 | Ryan | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | |
| 2009-01-05 | Eli | 10 | 5 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for your very nice response. Although the clarity was not achieved (and your response is not to blame - perhaps there's no clarity in the issue) on the origin of Torah from the Conservative standpoint, I appreciate the time and the politeness with which you answered me both times. Thanks again. |

| 2008-12-29 | gwen | 10 | 10 | 3 | 10 | No | The question was answered well but it took longer than I hoped to get an answer. |

Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner
Expertise
Write to me with questions about Jewish customs and law, history, philosophy and tradition for answers from a Conservative perspective or conversion. I am a graduate of The Jewish Theological Seminary and a member of the Conservative Rabbinical Assembly. Having served in congregational pulpits since 1970, I now am President of the Foundation For Family Education, Inc. a non-profit educational endeavor. I established it to create new formats of hands-on programs and provide free educational downloads at www.jewishfreeware.org. In addition to general informational questions I welcome your questions about programs for social action, outreach to dual-faith families, inter-faith clergy projects, healing services, education for conversion, adult education for the congregation and the community. If you have questions about Informal and Formal Education I am ready to share my extensive experience with Youth Activities, Camping and Religious School/Hebrew High School on a congregational, community and national/international level.
Experience
I have served on the National Youth Commission for more than 25 years and serve on the Boards of the Conservative Zionist movement MERCAZ and the World Council of Synagogues. I have always dual-families and taught candidates for conversion with a great sense of fulfillment. I am very proud of 25 years on the Jewish camping staff of Camps Ramah. My greatest source of pride is my family! Ask me about them, please!:-)
