My name is Yered, and I am an ordained rabbi who lives in Alaska. I love lively (respectful) and heartfelt theological discussions and meeting interesting people, so here I am. I look forward to getting to know all of you. May the Holy One bless and keep you.

Can I be reduced to bullet points? Perhaps...let us give it a try.

1. I am not fond of contractions.
2. I am a connoisseur of Oreos.
3. I am never sarcastic.
4. I am a father.
5. I am an educator.
6. I am not kind when I have to share sushi with others.
7. I am a collector of antiquity.
8. I never tire of the rain.
9. I am a moose and caribou hunter.
10. I am a mycologist by choice.
11. I do not do favorites.
12. I have been to Utah.
13. I am not here to contend, convert, or change anyone's mind about anything. I barely keep my own mind in check.

There are a few.

Are you a Native? I understand that if you are , you don't have to enter a draw for moose tag?
Have you been on a moose hunt this season?

So far we have to go to synagogue to ask questions from the rabbi there and since it is two hours away we don't go often. My brother and I have begun studying Tanakh for the last year. It began maybe 5 years ago studying Isaiah. We are LDS and therefore believe in Christ. We are following several from Alph Beta to First fruits. Lots of thoughts on the diversity. Nevertheless the education has been immense. Thanks for joining.

How's the weather up there?

Rainy. Mid 50s this week. No snow yet. Well....it snowed about 3 inches at Denali about 3 or 4 weeks ago, but it melted. It has been soggy hunting moose this year. My wife joked that she is glad it only rained twice this summer...once for 27 days and once for 35.

Not where we are. I am thinking we will get some (extra) rain. Those along the west coast...Nome...are going to get some weather for sure. The biggest concern will be for hunters in that area who do not have cell service. We live in south central, so kind of out of the direct path.
